  1. Well, the other problem is without Kelce playing Center, the play's not going to work near as well as it did.
  2. How will they decide who takes the fall between Umino and Kiyomiya?
  3. Oh I don't doubt you. But they also closed the Cruise port in 2011 and it's hasn't been touched since. But looking, they'll land it in Norfolk since they'd have to go right past it on the way into the Harbor anyway.
  4. They can't. The bridge was for all the Hazmat stuff to stay out of the Tunnels by going over 695. You'd have to take 695 all the way around the north side of the city now to stay on highways. In the "this is why you don't take Cruises" category, a ship *just* left Baltimore on Sunday, it now currently can't get back to the dock. Next closest Cruise port I think is either Bayonne NJ or Norfolk VA.
  5. Use Lvl 1 spells or the elemental abilties, they don't hit that hard damage wise but do enough pressure wise. Roll back weapons to your weakest attack ones and swap out lower level materia. I ended up having to do that to get the pressure and stagger with the special fiend fights in Grasslands/Junon because I way overleveled before cleaning them out.
  6. Yeah, Chapter 9 is when I started hitting Game Over screens, so, there's a couple you have to gameplan for.
  7. Couple hundred years before Phantom Menace. This is High Republic era, which Disney seems hell bent on worldbuilding, mostly because it wouldn't be affected by anything that happened in the current story era. It's less about Star Wars fans, and more about what media they spend their other time consuming (YouTube, social media, Cable News, websites, etc).
  8. Because Leslye Headland was Weinstein's PA during his reign of terror, because everyone's memeing the "Close your eyes" line, and standard MAGAChud whining about their space wizards not all being straight white guys. EDIT: Oh, and also the standard issue MAGAChud whining about hating everything Mouse related.
  9. Rolled back, cleared out Grasslands, working on Junon and FUCK I hate Fort Condor. I'm still undecided if Cait Sith is actually worth spending time learning. He's got some positives but I'm suspect since they're mostly RNG based. I haven't cleared out much of the simulator except for the materia I really needed(like First Strike) and the summons.
  10. I'm really hoping it's an actual game and not a GAAS gatcha shitshow. It being Epic doesn't give hope.
  11. And it'll be another reboot!
  12. Because while Clavell wrote the Asian Saga, the characters of Shogun were only in the one book. There is no story of Season 2 to tell (going by the episode titles and pacing, they'll get through the book in the next 4 episodes).
  13. Oh, and in figuring out how to get past a particular boss, it taught (forced) me how to properly use Barrett as a Tank, and as a result inadvertently got me to figure out Aerith. She definitely got nerfed from Remake, as she's MUCH slower. But, if you set Barrett up with stuff that speeds up his ATB gauge, you can get him up to 2 quickly, then hit Steelskin and Lifesaver. Steelskin ramps up his Defense, and Life Saver give him a max HP boost AND DRAWS ALL THE AGRO. So it gives you time to get Aerith's wards up and she can start double casting shit and all her other stuff. Then let Barret do his thing, eventually ordering him to reup Steelskin and Lifesaver, and have Aerith hit him with heals when needed, and use the Bodyguard synergy skill when needed with Barret. That's the best I got, but I've gotten more out of Aerith with this setup. Don't miss the Barrage Blaster as that's the weapon that you learn Lifesaver off of. I still need to figure out how to effectively use Cait Sith, but that's what the traveling back to Kalm and cleaning up regions is going to be for.
  14. So about my last spoiler I think I'm hitting the end of Chapter 10, but I want to do more rolling back and possibly backtrack a bit to missed stuff. But I do dig the one story modification they made, that I'm sure will get talked about when others catch up to where I'm at. But The Show comes out today so I might be taking a bit of a break on and off.
  15. Now's the time for Ireland to make good on that Star Trek prediction... https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/048/291/The_Irish_Unification_of_2024.jpg
  16. X was also very good in retrospect (X-2 is suspect though). XIII on the other hand... Woof.
  17. Also, while Yuffie and Tifa are damn near broken if you set them up right, don't sleep on Red, he can be a fucking Damage machine if set up right.
  18. Spoilers about what ya'll talking about I finally got into Chapter 10 (at 45 hours) and Cosmo Canyon and holy shit does it make the slog in Chapter 9 through Gonaga worth it.
  19. I'm hitting the end? maybe of chapter 9 at 40 hours, 5 of which were figuring out that 1 fucking boss fight. Even trying to builds, Aerith is slow as molassas getting going, but at least I figured out Yuffie is the exact opposite speed wise and it was enough to whittle that boss down finally. Fuck, if I wanted to spend 20 minutes on a boss fight, I'd play Dark Souls. If I did everything I could do (which is near impossible first time through Corel anyway), I'd be up near 50-55 hours.
  20. There's a whole lot I *don't* like about MyRise or Showcase mode. I do like Universe Mode though.
  21. I'm going to be very upset if he doesn't, also, soar on the wings of the eagle.
  22. So my main complaint about this game is that it's just too fucking big. I'm past 20 hours and I just finished the main story from the first visit to the Saucer and got the Buggy, and I'm not near done the Corel region and the story has me moving on. I am hitting some weird scaling areas as I'm level 29 and some regular mobs are deleting me with haste but I'm mostly able to brute force the bosses without much issue. Once i can find a region fast travel I'm going to roll back and wrap up some earlier stuff and hunt for some Materia I know I missed, because I know I'm not getting the best out of the characters (Craig is right about Aerith being glass until you find the right combo of stuff to turn her into a magic spammer), but for sure the way I built Cloud and Tifa in Remake isn't translating to Rebirth the same, so I'm going to have to do some build research to see if I can clean that up a bit. I do know that Assessing and exploiting the weakness and stagger is paramount to combat this game, as even shit I know I should be melting is taking a bit. I also just finally got Cait Sith and between not having figured out Red yet despite 20 hours and a couple boss fights with him, I'm not looking forward to having to learn him too, especially since I HATED using him in OG.
  23. It's also still in the PS+ catalog, so that might be swinging it a bit.
  24. It's almost very likely "Fuck, we need to give Boras money for Snell" time though.
  25. It'll be fun to watch Saquon nit make a difference when he can't get yards up thr middle because Hurts can't read defenses.
