Tomb Raider Fraud... Edition?

let me look this up.


Oh, so now Square is adapting the Namco Tales marketing gimmick of releasing a glorified beta version of their mainstream titles on one platform, and then releasing a better version somewhere else within the same year to cheaply make more money using existing assets / stab existing customers in the back.  My faith in gaming society certainly isn't hindered by the fact that this is apparently still a viable business strategy.

It's not even that really. They'll bullshit about how they're making this utilizing "the power that only next gen consoles can offer". But everyone knows this $60 rerelease is just a GOTY edition port of the PC version.

I try and stick to old FF. Made the mistake of buying FF13 and gave it away to a friend. Hated it. I really love FF4 and 8 though.

guys

I just found out

Ah, the novel...
Just what were they thinking when they made that? I've heard quite a few things about it, and most of them sound like the writer's trying to emulate Taro Yoko rather badly.

[Super Waffle]

Who's Taro Yoko?  Is he (she?) anywhere near as unintentionally hilarious as Final Fantasy X-2.5?

Because my god this is a goldmine.

[VladCT]

He's the guy behind the first and third Drakengard, along with NieR, I believe.

So would you say http://www.fanfiction.net/s/10069646/1/A-Brief-Moment-in-History is an improvement over Final Fantasy canon?  Or is it still Tidus-exploding-head tier?

[Gunlord]

It's an improvement, Waffle. It's an improvement.

[Super Waffle]

oh really?

What do you think I should do to improve it further?

[Gunlord]

Make Tidus and Yuna live happily ever after :cry:

But they're not even from the same universe as Vanille.
