Their problem is that this event broadcast things which totally contradict the narrative they're trying to build about what's happening in the world.

The world is not nearly as schizophrenic as you seem to be suggesting. Most of people's issues with America have been enduring for a long time, and that doesn't change with the president.

I learned about slavery from Hollywood. Why is French cinema so slow to depict our own colonial crimes? in c/europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Anyone who thinks there's something wrong with the fact that no artists are currently focused on it.

Depicting difficult subjects in art is one thing. Obsessing over depicting people's failures is weird.

scale

That's an interesting thought I hadn't considered. The Webb is about as quiet as we're going to get anywhere near our orbit, but a lunar compound could very easily be much larger, and would be a great deal easier to service/upgrade.

And slowly, society began to awaken to the reality that theirs was a civilization ruled by Mammon, not men.

The best part of it was how they released it. I wish I caught it when they aired it, unannounced, in a random time slot on Adult Swim late at night.

I also recognize that effectively nothing actually changed from roaming a world map

There isn't much, but there are actually a couple of hidden locations related to important sidequests, like the zodiac weapons. I think there might also be something there related to the post-game content in the International version, but I'm not certain.

I'll actually copy a comment I saw recently by someone else who knows more about Final Fantasy than I do. Apparently it's much older than that.

Though historically the ATB system was invented for FF4 and used by all games until FFX itself before being used again for X-2, though I think most of them had the option of "active or wait" like Chrono Trigger to pick from. I haven't played most of those FFs to say for certain. Not that it makes it better, but it technically was the return to form and earlier games just had less you cared to watch happen.
