I saw a random reddit comment where someone theorized that Pennywise and Mary Poppins were the same species of primordial psychic entity, but Pennywise feeds on fear while Poppins feeds on joy. both of them eat kid emotions because fear and joy are more intense in kids. This is Canon for me now.

I think the single most important design decision in the entirety of Destiny 1 or 2 was when they built the inventory/quest screens to be interactable during loading screens
Not talked about almost ever, but it was so damn important to the loot game

Some of my favourite coworkers from my Ubisoft days have teamed up to make this amazing little game.

I love love love FFTA1
I've bounced off FFTA2 twice at the difficulty spike during the Lord of the Flowsand boss (You get a defeat screen during main missions and I'd forgot to save beforehand.), maybe I need to give it another shot tho...

Popular enough they turned it into a whole catagory of Shrine in TotK which were arguably some of the best.

Consider that one of the most popular parts of BOTW is the island where they strip away all your items and put you in a tiny sandbox again. I kinda wonder how the major "dungeons" would of been received if they'd all used that mechanic.

As I said elsewhere the transition your talking about is by far the most awkward element of the game for me. I had the exact same thought about if it was cut for scope or pacing.

I'd love to hear them, as certainly my biggest gripe about the game is the act 2 -> act 3/postgame transition. The "greatest Expedition" show not tell felt like a big missed opputunity too. (but maybe it was something cut for scope?)

Which is a huge shame considering how spectacular the ending can feel if the mechanical balance is right.
26.06.2025 06:18 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0
Honestly I'd recommend just doing the main quest ASAP and then treat act 3 like post-game only content. All of the story elements still work out fine and the mechanical progression works much better.
