      @@jakespacepiratee3740 You forgot to mention the big gaping hole that is the majority of the plot being pure speculation. Vaati has a great perspective on it, but he's mostly just making up stories based on the tidbits we're given in the games, nothing he's ever said is set in stone, and he's had the games contradict him as DLC and new entries come out -- remember the old "Harvest Valley is the remains of Anor Londo" theory he tossed out early on?
      Don't get me wrong, the whole reason we get so little actual confirmed fact is specifically to facilitate this sort of thing, and it's great, but... you can't summarize it all when there isn't even enough hard information to summarize. The best you can do is theorize about what actually happened based on these little snippets. In other words, the plot is "none of our damn business," we just decided to force the issue and come up with stuff to fill in the (massive) gaps.

      And overall it is not that convoluted and more of it being very BIG and COMPLEX right now... But it only happened because if KH was an Anime it would be 10th season and Episode 400. This is a problem common among long running series - try to get a newcomer into One Piece - newcomer will have fun but generally will also end up confused if he starts from One Piece's equivavelent of where KH3 placed on a Timeline in its own series - Marinford ARC and Ace's execution.
      KH is a 20 years running "show" with ONE story - and state of its story simply shows the weight of going for so long.

    This has already been said enough, but main writter was definitely not Nomura for this one (though he is listed as producer). If you wanna dwelve into crazy plot territory, then you're looking at no other than Kazushige Nojima, who was also infamous for writting the FF X-2.5 ~Eien no Daishō. AKA: Titus dies
    from a Blitzball looking Bomb, get's a "Golden Experience" revive, and Yuna in a crisis whether this Titus is her Titus (hence the whole vague "boyfriend" stuff that was in the extended scenario game for X-2 in the HD release).
    Point being...Nojima has a knack for making convoluted shit in half the stories he's helped written & made scripts for lately (VII Remake being a notorious example ala Fate Ghosts), so this is just another example. Not to mention, awhile back, Nojima got harassed by fans for how he handled VII Remake's story, so let that sink in.

I'd like to think Square will show what Jack wanted the warriors of light to do against the Lufenians too and give us a view of their society and overarching plan.
    It's really hard imagining Lufenian society when the Strangers look and act so different compared to the people giving them orders. You don't hide that from players unless you're planning a follow up.

    26:06 I’m going to have to call you out on this one, as well as the very next sin. The song she’s listening to isn’t the nuMetal Linkin Park clone, and it’s certainly not what she plays on her lute. You missed out on a lot of context clues there, because note what she’s playing on her lute when Jack and the others see her at the beginning. It’s the FF1 theme song, and you apparently memory-holed a scene where Jack is humming that song with Jed asking when Jack taught her the song. He can’t answer since he obviously doesn’t remember teaching her, so just dodges the question by just “It’s a classic. Everyone knows it.”
    As hilarious as it might be that Sarah would attempt to play nuMetal on her lute, that’s not at all what’s happening in that flashback. In other words this is just a long-winded way of saying you were being deliberately obtuse and purposely inflating your sin count.

    In regards to the gear system, there is a fair bit of depth to it. The game will throw a lot of gear at you yes, but the affinity it has to jobs is why you hold on to it, as the higher affinity, the better bonuses that you’ll receive when playing said job. Bonuses like WHM having an auto raise for anyone 1 time, Cyclic Warriors added Chaosbringer buff, those come in handy for fights.
    And for the combat, there’s stuff there to be had, as there are quite a bit of inputs for abilities, and mid combat job switching can be beneficial in some situations. I don’t think you really have it enough credit, I wouldn’t call it a Nioh clone, rather something that strays from the traditional Darksouls formula, and actually works in some regard, as you can easily chain together casting say Diaja then quick switch to MNK and execute the Twin Dragon combo. Or stacking up on WHM buffs with Knights Blessing of Light buff and be an unkillable tank. There are a lot of different combos to experiment with in this game, and as stated previously, makes it far from a Nioh or Dark souls clone.

    You mention not many publishers making a good Dark Souls-esque game. Have you not heard of Gunfire and Remnant: From the Ashes? Also known as "Dark Souls with guns". It's honestly a pretty fun game if you have 1-2 friends to go through the campaign with, and a lot of people have noted it's difficult, but somewhat more fare than Dark Souls since you CAN conceivably figure out the bosses and beat them quickly if you're skilled and observant, whereas Dark Souls games tend to...require you to die a few times to figure out mechanics (though the endless minions in boss fights for "challenge" in multiplayer can be a smidge annoying...it also ensures you never run out of ammo, which is a plus)

      In FF7, Midgar is the most advanced civilization in the whole game, quite cyberpunk, and at one point it was at war with Wutai. Wutai, from what I could tell, was entirely a Japan Edo-period civilization, I don't even recall if they had guns or not.
      Somehow, Wutai not only managed to prevent themselves from being wiped out by a nation miles ahead in their technology, but didn't actually bother to research said technology to improve themselves. That's terrible worldbuilding.
      Stranger of Paradise actually gets this right. Cornelia was at war with Lufenia, a highly advanced civilization, and if you look around the town of Cornelia itself in the game, you'll notice Neon Signs, Electric Lamposts, Hand Scanners, etc.
      Meaning that while Cornelia was fighting Lufenia and even losing, they were still researching and applying their technology, even if the final result was still quite limited compared to Lufenia's.
      Also, and this is explained in the Fools Missives, Lufenia has been taking locations from other FF games and porting them over to the world that SOP takes place in. So the "Advanced Sci-fi in Fantasy Setting" thing makes sense. Inb4 you say "Well why didn't know one else in the world notice this?!" It's the same reason you don't go walking into a hungry bear's cave, these places are inhabited by dangerous creatures and monsters.
