It's kind of a long standing quality of the series, since they are always trying new stuff that will resonate with different people. Outside of like actual FF2 (I assume you are talking about IV since you mention the SNES) I think I have heard people make a case for every FF being their favourite. Which is great, I am glad they try to shake it up every time.

Both of the projects Yoshida has been involved with I have been pretty lukewarm on though, so I am just a bit concerned if he is going to be the proverbial face of the series moving forward.

I love FF, played them all and generally liked every one to varying degrees. I am about there with you overall on XVI. I liked my time with FFXVI well enough, but in my overall series hierarchy it is basically smack dab in the middle. I thought it was good but it didn't blow me away like a lot of people are raving about. I certainly don't regret playing it, but I also wouldn't want to see this be the direction they take the series from now on.

I liked the characters a lot more than I expected. Story had pacing issues but overall it was good. Music was more atmospheric but generally quite well done, though thinking back to it now I can't really recall any of the music.

Gameplay-wise though, it felt like it was lacking a lot of RPG elements. I don't mind action combat at all, I am not a turn-based purist and I loved FF7R, but the combat in FFXVI seemed like a big step back. There really wasn't any itemization, levels didn't feel that impactful, and even unlocking nodes on the skilltree felt very low impact. About halfway through the game I had unlocked everything I would use until the end of the game, so skill points really ceased to matter. There were no resistances or elements, so even though the game makes a big deal about learning different magic-types (which are all 100% the same as each other), you can approach every single fight exactly the same. The big bombastic kaiju fights people loved were actually my least favourite part though. You were basically given a simplified version of the character you normally play, and they were all about 30% too long. They were a spectacle but weren't actually all that fun or interesting to play.

Unless you were on explicitly communist subs, reddit was extremely hostile to communists. You could definitely get banned from some subs just by association.

Porn was everywhere though, yeah.

They are communist in name only.

Russia hasn't been communist in even name since it was part of the USSR. The only people who really consider them communist are liberals who don't understand the difference between the USSR and the Russian Federation.

I am not the Official Spokesman of Communism, but most communities I have seen and participate in aren't pro-modern Russia. We might be against things like banning anything with "russian" in the name, but that doesn't mean we see them as the second coming of the USSR. The Russian Federation is still an imperialist capitalist nation as much as any of the others.

You have the patsocs and stuff that might be more on board with Russia, but we don't really claim them.

It comes up in non-political communities when people make political posts (like this one) but that seems fair game. I don't really see people shoe-horning it in much otherwise.

Sambal is fantastic. Gochujang is too, and pretty much required for any kind of korean cooking.

The amount of work required to make a decent turkey simply isn't worth it when so many better poultry options exist. The best prepared turkey isn't going to come close to a good roast duck.

Duck and quail are absolutely amazing, and way better than chicken. I really like pigeon too.

Quail eggs are the best, albeit annoying to work with.

Outside of some fad diets, there isn't really much of a push among anyone to cut plants out of your diet though. There's no need to make fake plant-products generally.

If we include seafood, I definitely do.

But to be fair, I don't think the average person is eating that varied a diet. I am not going to make the claim people on a plant-based diet can't get protein, they can, but they probably aren't getting 10+ different sources of it either.

Yeah Japan. The argument is that the big souvenir boxes are typically left open and shared among all your coworkers (which to be fair, is usually the case in my office). It still seems excessive though.

What are people doing in the states that they actually have even more?
