It’s funny this Final Fantasy 7 Revelation discourse is popping because next week’s podcast episode is about the time in the summer where I indulged in the excess that is Rebirth. Can’t wait for you all to tap in

Loved this episode!
Among the rest, you made me recall how hit detection during boss battles - and mostly only in boss battles - was always MEH in KH.

Hollow Bastion is probably in my top 5 locations in all of JRPGs. It does so many things well, impeccable level design, puzzle design and elite storytelling. You can't ask more from a JRPG location #KingdomHearts

Haha his sound a double edged sword. You KNOW when a song is composed by him within like 5 seconds...but I think its cool that he atleast has his distinction
You saying that hes worked on a lot is similar to a producer with a notable sound working with a lot of artists

I underrate #MotoiSakuraba sometimes. The fact that he uses the same techniques across franchises like #StarOcean and #GoldenSun makes his work blend together. However here I fawn over the flute in Isaac's Theme

You know what I loved about the old #MonsterRancher joints is how you can use CDs in game to create monsters. Using an RnB joint or a Reggae joint to make a monster felt so novel

Part of what @jaymuhammad.bsky.social was trying to share with me is that in playing #RPG games I need to embrace the help that items give, cause that’s what you do as the main character. Help others.

Do you consider a weapon an item in a RPG? @jaymuhammad.bsky.social discuss if the general permanence of weapons are enough for them a different category of thing than “item”

I took a listen to the #Persona5ThePhantomX OST, and clearly they just decided to run it back turbo with Lyn. Fatal Desire is HEAT.

What does it mean to play in the spirit of the game? Sometimes I feel if I use too many items in an rpg I am cheating the expected experience and solution of a player. #Talesof and #Persona are games where I don’t feel that. But for other #JRPG games, I feel like I am betraying the game designers
