I’m playing through the remake now and getting intensely anticapitalist vibes

    they've been grappling with that subject a lot so far and they've gone the opposite direction - i.e. Shinra is explicitly to blame for the unintentional loss of life, not the protagonists. so if they try to swing all the way back around to "eco-terrorism bad", they'll have a muddy mess on their hands and it won't resonate.

    that said, given that it's Tetsuya Nomura directing this (of Kingdom Hearts fame), a muddy mess is guaranteed by the end.

        it's quite simply too big brained for me. I'm just not smart enough to understand Kingdom Hearts. it's at least one level too far above and beyond; maybe more, I wouldn't know, it's over my head.

          Dunkeys video is a perfect summation tbh

          Really enjoyed 1, fell off the bandwagon thereafter

          If I could have kingdom hearts without most of the Disney stuff I would be so happy. My favorite is Birth By Sleep, which is absolutely insane gibberish to introduce you to several characters that have actually been driving this nonsense plot the whole time
