Sorry that I wasn't very specific about what I take issue with 'trigger warnings', so this a continuation of my last post.

I agree that trigger warnings should be given if images or some sort of visual medium is given that might strike someone off-guard if it wasn't warranted by how exponential the effect may be on the person watching...like slaughter house animal videos/images or people getting injured that may proof to be highly graphic to the viewer.

But every other aspect can just be interpreted (presented) by the title of the video/article or context of the convo taking place within the video/article itself...it's ridiculous to expect to cater to every single want and need from each individual's (sometimes ridiculous & fabricated based on social interactions & not VERY REAL traumatic/scarring events) 'PTSDs' that years ago seemed & was treated like a 'phase' and nowadays is an acceptable 'disease' to stick with and you're devoid of responsibility from dealing with...when 'other' people (should) have to compromise to get around it, so it enables NOT coping with it on your own and getting past it...when it may very well be just a phase. It's the reason why I'm not fond of the 'hugbox' mentality...and more of an individualist, I don't like to feel as a damsel in distress at all and don't need the affirmation of others to feel complete/wholesome. Not everything 'mental' is a 'disease' nowadays...it demeans real 'mental diseases' that have been studied, documented & identified as such for years.

People nowadays feel pressured to create a 'safe-space' for everyone in fear of being demonized/ostrocized, becoming victims to hate mobs/movements/activists harassing them on social media in the hundreds/thousands and/or getting them fired off their jobs not due to work merit but because of difference of opinion, etc...due to not catering to the standards of some people (ex. SJW mobs) that it eventually becomes sort of a witch hunt.

Some people have warped/twisted reality and have relegated the term (verbal) 'offensive' to 'abuse/harassment/rape', and excuse themselves from 'proper & constructive criticism'.

Tolerance, acceptance & the matter of having a difference in opinion, as well as the point of civil discussion...has become a thing of the past. Social media has become a very self-destructive, toxic & hate-filled platform where people just spread out hate...like if it were the youtube comments section but with so much much prevalence, power and effect.

I wrote a Twitlong about some insight about depression, especially seeing 'depression' very frequently expressed on social media and many other fronts...because it pains me to see a lot of people like that, and they can't seem to deal with their own problems because they're so dependent on the action and/or support of others to make themselves feel content which is a terrible way to deal with them, it's just a temporary 'placebo' in order to make yourself feel better...but then you go through withdrawals from the lack of said 'placebo', never really coming to term with your problems...and no, this people are normal people not mentally (ill) diseased people.

It's the very reason why I made that post above...because I'm pretty tired of seeing these 'safe-spaces' becoming a requirement of 'others' & 'hugboxes' devoid of criticism and logic, and if you don't fit with these sort of new (*cough* world order *cough* lol!) norms you get ostracized and deemed a 'monster' for thinking differently or just merely expressing yourself...even in jest.

Basically: 'Your freedoms end when my feelings begin' mentality ensues...and every individual has their own spectrum that they think everyone should abide by no matter how ridiculous/absurd or reasonable it is, as it's some kind of right/demand. Not saying all, but lots of people think like this...where everything is an issue and incredibly 'triggering'.

We can agree to disagree Tale if anything...it's just something I wanted to get off my chest for a long time about this growing PC culture that almost feel like it's turning like Orwell's nightmare in a different form where everything is uniform, like-minded, proper, perfect, serious, no-fun-allowed, echo chamber-like...where civil conversations, difference of opinion, tolerance & comedy are dead.

We all have our flaws that's for sure, we can all definitely agree on that...A perfect society is just a pipe dream.

That's pretty much what I wanted to convey.

I apologize for the long read in advance...got a little too inspired...time just flew by me by the time I thought: "Damn! I wrote quite a lot!". :P


Here's the Twitlong I wrote to see where I'm coming from...it's a letter from the heart, which is mostly directed to a lot of people I know and love.



Cheers! :D

I'm glad Misty isn't in charge of the FFVII remake.

Pretty tired of the constant pandering to PC culture...people don't know how to have fun anymore nowadays.

Not much of a fan of 'hugboxes' and/or hand-holding trigger warnings, because I'm an adult and should be treated that way...I can take care of myself, I appreciate the thought but no thanks.

I'm not a homophobe or a racist, but I love comedy...especially shock-driven dark comedy and love to make fun of myself (self-deprecating humor) as well as others from time to time.

I know Misty probably doesn't care about my opinion due to my opening line while having opposite views in many ways, which she is in her right to feel such a way...but I feel like I need to express my discomfort for such constant pandering to PC culture and everything seemingly looking like 'Identity Politics' & 'Popularity Contests' ESPECIALLY in 'Social media' (which I completely abhor) more now than ever before, in a way that it seems borderline narcissistic & shows that some people succumb to delusions of grandeur.

I'm a huge supporter for devs to do what they want when making games, and not simply focus on catering to keeping PC culture happy...keep yourself happy with the product you're making, it's your baby & pet project...stick to your guns no matter who you are and/or what you're into! Don't let others dye you in colors that are not your own.

I don't like when PC culture or self-entitled gamers like to shove their own values onto developers, and make their 'wishlist' seem more like a 'list of demands'.

It got ridiculous when the internet exploded with the misinformation of Fire Emblem: Fates...it was a witch hunt of sorts.

Anyways, I agree with Libregkd with the notion on expanding and referencing Crisis Core & the inclusion of previously optional canon characters in a way that the story can be a lot more concise & easy to follow...but the key story, mini-games & funny scenes should remain the same whether people like or not. It should be faithful to the original for the most part...remakes are usually catered for the old fan-base that loved the original so it should remain with that mission in mind...keep it faithful.

Anyways, love the podcast...been listening for years but was never compelled to respond until now (not much of a forum poster as I used to be), this is one of two podcasts that I still listen to.

Cheers! :D


On a side note: Happy that Love Won...tons of my Gay friends are so happy that they have the chance to marry if the occasion arises. One thing I love the most is seeing people smile...good vibes are very important in order to keep oneself/each other happy & from having a sh*tty day! :p

I did some digging for most of the key points about the changes being made...

So in case anyone was wondering, the reason these changes were made is because they no longer plan to spread out the story over multiple games. In order to keep the story in one game, they had to restructure the story and certain elements of it no longer made sense.

"After we had switched from Versus to XV, the first decision we made was to make sure that FFXV would have a complete, coherent story in one game. That was an important decision—one made at the company level, too."
-Hajime Tabata (direct translated quote from the Active Time Report)

In case anyone is worried that the story no longer has anything to do with Versus XIII, they decided to be as faithful to the original story as possible, despite having to restructure it to fit a single game.

"In the end, we decided to be as faithful as possible to Mr. Nojima's story for Versus and focus on realizing the original story as much as we could."
-Hajime Tabata (direct translated quote from the Active Time Report)

If anyone is interested, I recommend checking out the video for yourselves to get the full explanation.

Cheers! :D

Allow another question?

Wasn't there supposed to be pillars of energy coming out in Marluxia's DM attack following Cloud anywhere?

Character #1:
Marluxia
Reason: He's the strongest in Org. XIII after Xemnas plot-wise/Chair height Wise/leadership wise/many forms wise, also because he's my favorite character. XD

Character #2:
Xemnas
Reason: Leader of Org. XIII.

Character #3:
Zexion
Reason: He's just mysterious...and might still be alive. >_>

Character #4:
Roxas(Boss)
Reason: He's cool and pretty powerful, too.

Character #5:
Riku's Xehanort's form.
Reason: Maybe just as strong as Xemnas himself, if used full power.

Yay I was right, I wonder if that is really canon in KH2's story? Because if it is
then Xaldin & Marluxia are the biggest bad-asses of Org. XIII under Xemnas.

It also explains why Marluxia was put in charge of Castle Oblivion and Xaldin
being the bigger bad-ass executioner than axel in one of the FM+ scenes
where Xemnas rather turns him into a Dusk if he doesn't follow his orders.

Now that I remember Nomura said when members had the highest
seats that meant they were really successful assets to organization.

Most successful missions achieved?

Probably....

Maybe that explains in one of KH2's cutscenes the seating levels were
they show all of the members.

Xemnas being the highest...of course! being the leader and the most powerful and all.

Xaldin must be Xemnas must trusted member and maybe the biggest
executioner out all the members even more than Axel (looking back at
the scene of Axel's execution if he didn't bring back or execute Roxas).

Marluxia seems to be just as high as Xaldin (maybe a little lower or a
little higher...can't really tell through the fast transition of every
members' seats)... No wonder he was left in charge of Castle Oblivion
and being one of the strongest members in the XIII order (maybe even
stronger than Xaldin) by looking at his forms and the way he acts in RE: COM.

It's all speculation, the only thing I know for sure is "The higher the seat the most successful they are". XD

Here's the full trailer including gameplay & BBS to whoever hasn't seen it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbyBn1Rh-jI

Enjoy. :D

I think Xion could be Aqua's nobody...but apparently nobodies name's are
made after the original names re-arranged with an "X" added to it...but also
remember this doesn't apply to Xemnas since his name is actually Xehanort
and not Xemnas which is Ansem with an "X" added to it. Plus Aqua might
have been involved with Maleficent and consumed by darkness by looking at
BBS's trailer.

My top three are:

1. Xemnas(Duh..as stated before...he's the superior)
2.Roxas
3.Marluxia(Castle Oblivion's leader, he has three forms that stand pretty
well, espcially the new "Third Form"...Why was he Chosen
to be in charge there being NO.11 and all? that answer is
beyond me)

I didn't believe it, since they pulled it off in (Naruto/Bleach fansubs)Dattebayo's
site.

http://yhbt.mine.nu/

Which is more convincing, but if you been downloading as long as I have
been and know what's going on, you won't get fooled.

First that site already declared that the animes were licensed
and if you click the bird insignia on the top-left-hand-corner or
where it says "Contact us" it will take you to the original site. :P

If it really was closed down by the Department of Justice the site
would be completely blocked.

Also I forgot to mention the main site's heading says "Dattebayo Fansubs, LLC. We take April 1st seriously."

lol, I'll go check "www.kh2.co.uk" :D

Don't forget Axel's nobodies.

Well Nomura mentioned Marluxia as an example.

It kinda makes sense he being the extra boss, since he was the last boss
in KH: COM and he appeared in the intro(appeared in more scenes than
any other dead member making him more important I guess).

If this was actually true and it seems to be in RE: COM as an extra world,
then it means all bosses and especially the player will play with the battle card
system.(I don't really mind, just a thought.)

or might actually be a minigame using the fighting system of kh2
in RE: COM in which you don't gain any EXP. points, since it's a
totally different system from the original game(RE: COM)


Anyway, this doesn't seem like a reliable info since nomura said
they might put one of the KH: COM members in KH2: FM as a secret
boss and trying to remake the boss to fit with KH2's fighting system
(Most likely to be Marluxia).
