@Goldfish That being said, Horror isn't exactly the most historically accurate game out there and I don't think they particular care if it is.

@Ghost I think there will be changes, because they've already said they are adding stuff. But! The gameplay demo still feels like FF7 -- moreso than anything in the Compilation before it, IMHO. I don't think it makes much sense for Tifa to die (Aerith dying is pretty fundamental, IMHO), but people have already pointed out the black-smoke things in the remake trailer that are in the Compilation, but not really in the original game...

I think I am just going to have to agree to disagree with y'all about Horror. And that's fine. This isn't the Hog Pit.

@Derp Man, people are beating this game so fast! I got it on release day and I'm still only about halfway through. Is it absurd to be worried about spoilers for a game I have played countless times since 1998? Lol.

@Tinuviel Ah! You used the 'p' word -- but see, that's what I miss.That's exactly what's been bothering me. The lack of play. Everything is on the timetable now, just like the rest of our lives -- I guess I get sick of it.

I do get what everyone's saying here, and like I said before, I'm also a grownup with a job/life/etc., but having to work to play is exactly why I made this post...

@Lisse24 FWIW, Lisse, I miss playing witcha!

Alright, I'll throw this out here too: I'm new on The Savage Skies and trying to make connections. If you wanna make connections too, please PM me.

I can't do Arx, so I guess this is the next best thing.

@egg Ok, so the blue-eyed quotient on that game is more like 40-45%. That's still insanely high when you consider the relative rarity of blue eyes IRL.

Also, this is on a game where you could play literally any kind of person and it would make sense. So people are choosing a whitewashed reality in this case.

Not malice. Just apathy/ignorance.

@Kestrel Why shouldn't I be mad? If I spend most of my leisure hours in a place where "representing yourself" = white (and even moreso, Aryan half of the time), shouldn't I want to see change there? Is it as important as the film industry changing its racial bias? Of course not. Does that mean I shouldn't care at all? No.

@surreality Well, here's the thing: you don't have to "represent yourself" on a MU* at all.

You can play a character different from yourself. I've personally never played a character who was "like me," so I find this argument from everyone pretty interesting.

@Kanye-Qwest True, I'm glad people are talking at least. It's better than nothing!

"Lithe and curvy" lol. It's because people are afraid of their characters being "fat."
