The worst is when you see something you’re curious about and ask for clarification, and they just paste your question into the LLM and paste its response back to you.
The one review I read said it’s kinda worth it:
I even picked up on things I hadn’t realized would become more important later on through this playthrough, such as the Reinford Company name-dropping or the references to Crossbell’s political situation at this narrative juncture. Replaying the story was a great refresher for me, too! It allowed me to appreciate just how much detail Falcom poured into the overall Trails narrative.
Can you enjoy this remake if you’ve already played through SC? I can wholeheartedly say yes, as replaying the story again illuminated some plot points for me in ways I hadn’t expected. From a storytelling standpoint, even the remake’s 3D graphics and voice acting help present key story reveals, shedding additional light on things.

Tho for my part, I struggle to say I’d want to spend dozens of hours replaying most story-focused JRPGs. I could imagine considering it only with my handful of favorites.
I had totally missed the news that the last part of FFVII remake wouldn’t get a functional physical edition. So disappointing! Especially in the last year of discs. Don’t see why it can’t be on 3 discs, or have been made with 2 discs in mind.
Not doing physical is a way bigger compromise to me than anything else they could have landed on.
Left the headline mostly in tact to avoid over-editorializing, but I think the idea that there was no other choice is absurd.
I thought the faces looked good, except young Zelda looked a little weird to me.
It’s the same thing, but locally scoped. So it only reviews and modifies one file. Helpful when you want to focus on one thing at a time.
I think their point is that by and large consumers are stupid and willing to put up with almost any garbage like that. What makes you think otherwise?
Wow, I thought this was a joke but it actually does work. Good tip!
Security issues for sure, that’s what I mean to acknowledge by saying it takes some level of maintenance.
But like, the feature set and UX don’t have to keep improving forever, IMO. The draw of something like this should be the community, the humans you interact with.
It’s always strange to me that software can never be complete or mature, it’s straight from ‘getting new features’ to ‘dead’. Not picking on the comment in OP, the announcement post reads like that too mostly. I get software requires some level of maintenance, but I wish we treated feature-complete as a good thing, something to celebrate.
Anyway, it was also weird to me how Tildes didn’t seize the moment with the Reddit drama a couple years ago. As I recall, they just weren’t trying to be the target of that migration. That was the first time I’d heard of it. Seems a nice place, from all my impressions of it.
It’s amazing how an appealing product can become so grotesque just by attaching Meta’s name.
Glad there’s a way to free them up.
When I was a kid, I saw my mom cut expired cards in half when throwing them away.
Ever since then, I always strategically cut my old cards into several pieces, making sure to break up the number, chip, date, name, etc. I’ll throw them away in separate trash cans and maybe wait to throw some pieces out after we take out the trash for a week.
Lol, it’s pure silliness, no one is desperately piecing cards together out of my trash. (In reality, you’d probably just find compromised cards online, or go hit someone with a wrench.)
But this headline makes me feel ever so slightly justified in my goofy behavior.
I haven’t tried it, but there’s a line in the article “Offline play is unaffected.” Does that mean there is an offline mode, or just that there still won’t be one?
Ideally I’d like to see them do a physical console release next year with the final build. But I know that has no chance. Also ideally, and probably just as unlikely, would be great if I could play it on Linux. AFAIK there’s anticheat that wouldn’t let me play online if I tried.
I mean, I’d (almost) never buy a digital version of a game I want to play on console. Physical or it might as well not exist. It’s not no one, but it’s not enough people to matter either.
But aside from ‘no one’ being a slight overstatement, I think you’re dead on. It’s good if the physical copy does better than expected or whatever, but it was always going to be a drop in the bucket. Still, hopefully they keep printing them even if small quantities.
Indiana Jones on Switch 2, also from them and in that case the only real physical version, seems to be sold out all over the place too.
I think there’s a market there for sure. But I don’t know that we should read too much into it. Could mean there’s a ton of demand, or could just mean they way undershot their estimates for how many to ship.
From the article:
The policy summarizes itself this way:
It’s fine to use LLMs to answer questions, analyze, distill, refine, check, suggest, review. But not to create.
Uses in the first category are allowed, sometimes requiring disclosure. Uses in the second category are heavily restricted.
Seems pretty level-headed to me.
I get why that’s so annoying. But I’m not sure why it would drive new signups here. Isn’t that more of an issue for people who don’t want to create an account?
Feels like we need a really strong Fediverse/Threadiverse search engine to fill the gap left by Reddit ending open access.
