Spelling mistake. Prepare for Colin's wrath

If you haven’t watched that Jane Doe trailer that was mentioned, go put on some headphones and do it. It’s insane. Also very fun character in ZZZ

I would like to clarify my write-in about XIII. I think there was a misunderstanding that I found the story poor or confusing because of the terminology- that’s incorrect. I don’t understand that criticism, the fal’cie, l’cie, etc. is all very easy to understand. What is confusing is the storytelling decisions. The repetitive flashbacks to the festival. The melodrama to me is really uninteresting compared to other entries; the comparisons to 7R or XVI make me realize just how poor this game is by contrast. We’re all “on the run” is the justification for the hallways, but I couldn’t be asked to actually care about the characters. I don’t care about Snow, or Hope or Vanille. They’re mostly dull tropes. And why are we split up for most of the game?! It’s also a precursor to the Dragon Age Veilguard writing criticisms. How many times unless I’m mistaken do they repeat dialogue? A l’cie has to fulfill their Purpose or the they become… Also I stand by my statement that the voice acting, while not across the board of course, has some dire casting choices. If you listen with headphones the sound design is bad too. It sounds like they did VO in a bathroom stall 😆 Lastly on the wait til it gets good for the combat remark. I checked my achievements and I was on chapter 8/13. Damn man. It wasn’t even giving me tutorials anymore… it just wasn’t fun to me. And the kiosks…man Sorry for the longer response just wanted to clarify my seething fury for XIII lol

Ember was a great guest you absolutely need to have him back!

lol surprisingly Gene, no it wasn’t me at MAGFEST. 12 years ago when I was graduating from college, I learned there was a Kmart on Guam. I thought about it recently and it’s literally the last surviving one there now. I’m thinking maybe a Last Stand Pilgrimage? In response to Ember - my sort it out isn’t coming from a petty place. Games take this long to come out, and this specific game was delayed for a year essentially, and there are still bugs to this small degree still being shown on an official stream? We pay 70 dollars for games and they are being released halfway finished most of the time. With the recent discussion of should you pay 100 dollars for games, I think it shouldn’t even be a discussion until we see games getting released in an actually finished and acceptable state. In regards to Mercante - it was a very one sided defense of her. She has clearly went after people and said terrible things about gamers and the gaming community. She isn’t this little perfect flower that is just being dogpiled. Definitely agree on the sound mixing - before I play any game now I go in and turn down the music volume a few notches and turn up voice volume if it isn’t all the way up.

Absolutely love Lost Judgement. Probably my favorite RGG game and one of my favorite games of this generation so far.

King Dad operating the Trap door to Hell

Ember Arcade is a fighting game head!!!! I’m in!!! Thank god I thought Cog and Matty were the only ones. Finally some one who I can see eye to eye on how games should feel!!!

Red Metal

Embers arcade is a good guest !

Gene Park

I messed up and confused the OG NG2, which had teh massive amounts of enemies, to SIGMA 2, which nerfed the enemy count. I guess 2 black now only has the sigma enemy count? Gah. I miss the OG NG2 man.

DMC

Great show. I'm not usually into the games Ember spoke about but as a lover games I just love hearing insightful details about games. The dude has a great accent too, very unique to my ear... Canadian, European, American... I have no idea!

I keep my Series X on its side because I actually have some physical Xbox games. 😅 Keeping any console with a disc drive vertical is just asking for trouble.

The Rose Experience

To me, XIII still stinks despite having some redeeming qualities, namely its visuals, OST and combat. Good thing though is If you liked XIII that much, wait till you get to XIII-2 which fixes every issue from the original and is just a vastly superior game in every facet. XIII-2 is a legitimately great game. It’s sad that XIII had such a knee jerk reaction to people as it caused them to dismiss the immensely better sequels. I really hope they release the Nova Crystallis trilogy as a remaster sooner rather than later.

Froilan

Embers sounds like a cool dude. Love hearing the passion for games he displays

Rayden

Embers was a great guest. Would like to hear him alongside Dustin or Micah

Diddy’s Dong Quest

I’m genuinely baffled by not having the GBA Pokemon games on virtual console? They lost their chance to charge for them because it’s all lumped into their subscription service now.

Austin Clemence

Thank you for the Lynch talk Gene, spread the gospel my good man.

Brenden

I hope this dude becomes a more frequent guest on the show.

Yet

Gene thank you for bringing up lost judgement! I’ve never played Yakuza mainline but 0, I loved whooping students in Judgement as a 45 white collar lawyer😂can’t wait for pirate yakuza.

Nicholas Guarente

Me listening to Ember's take on 'Wuthering Waves' "Hmm this sounds pretty awesome!" Me listening to Ember's take on 'FF XIII' "Ok, I don't believe any of Ember's takes now."

Philip Dunphy

FF9 forever. Give me the remake!

Gabriel SG

Embers is a great guest!

Ahlickaloo

Is that Ember’s real voice or is he doing an anime radio voice?

Kevin Cooper

Imagine hating Season 3 of Twin Peaks...

Don't know who this Embers guy is, but keep him off the podcast. Absolutely outrageous that he's evangelizing and recommending Final Fantasy XIII. That game is utter trash and a waste of anyone's time. His praise is insane, and not in touch with reality. Baffling and questionable judgement, and ignorant to the final fantasy series, yet here he is - wasting my time with this podcast. No one steps in or corrects him, and Gene even agrees with him at times. This show is getting worse and more worthless. If I hear this Embers idiot on here again I'm cancelling my membership.
