Goddammit Steve!
You know, I never even noticed, after 30 years of playing, that it was spelt terorist! The character limit probably explains why the demonlord was called demoload. I was always confused as to why I was fighting against a demo loading up :p
SaGa 3 has more traditional mechanics and a fairly generic time travelling story. It's a more polished and balanced game than 1 and 2, but the appeal of 1 and 2 was just how bizarre it could get at times.
I've not tried the saw yet, I started with 2 as that's my favourite, but I'm hoping it's not been changed.
I'm on my mobile st the minute so can't get a screen shot of the terrorist enemy, but if you search for final fantasy legend terrorist I ages, there should be one. It's basically a guy crouching down, holding a gun, wearing a uniform with one of those peaked military caps.
Yes, Final Fantasy Legend 1, 2 and 3.
The banana smuggling happens in world nine, Edo, based on the Japanese period of the same name. It's actually a case of original censorship - in the Japanese version, it was opium smuggling, but nintendo of America changed it to bananas. But that only made a quirky game even better, because the local detective, judges, shopkeepers and even the shogun are all going bananas over, well, bananas. There's even a guy wandering the streets in a daze asking for bananas because he's suffering withdrawal symptoms, and he even points out that there's no reason to ban bananas.
The final boss of saga 3 is Xigor, a godlike being who takes the form of the ocean, rendering him immortal, because as one of his lackeys points out, how do you defeat an entire ocean? You do anyway, of course, due to assistance from another god, but saga 3 isn't as good as the first two anyway.
Other changes so far include enemy names, specifically the terrorist enemy being renamed partisan.
A Short Hike is great though, I showed it to my friend and he spent four hours catching all the fish and getting a high score in beachstickball.
Unfortunately, I don't remember where I read it. I've just gone looking myself, but can't find it. Searching for keywords like you did just returns endless results similar to the OP. The article did have an accompanying video that basically boiled it down to what I posted above though.
Yes, they did, in a way. I can't find the article at the moment, but some years ago a group of feminists had the exact same complaint: that cities are full of skyscrapers and skyscrapers are too phallic. So several city planning engineers set up the software they use to help them plan and design cities, and let the feminists design their own city. The only two requirements they had to meet were 1) the city had to be less than ten square miles (or something similar, there was a limit to how far out they could build), and 2) the city needed to house 100,000 people.
After several hours, the feminists unveiled their skyscraper free utopian city. It was a marvel of spacious parks, lakes, shopping centres and luxury homes. It also couldn't house more than around 10,000 people. As the city planners pointed out, the only things that live in parks are squirrels and homeless people. So the feminists went back to the drawing board, and replaced some of the parks with more luxury homes, increasing the population to around 15,000.
At this point, the city planners sat down with the feminists and started to make suggestions to increase the number of available houses. After many careful explanations, they came to the radical conclusion that more houses could built if they used apartment blocks, and the higher the apartment block, the more people could live there. You can't imagine how proud the feminists were when they hit upon the revolutionary idea of building very tall buildings full of apartments. It almost matched their disappointment when they realised they'd built a city full of skyscrapers.
Yes, Alba is set entirely on a small Mediterranean island populated by regular Mediterranean people. It isn't woke in the slightest, you just take photos of wildlife and help repair the local nature reserve, and it's very wholesome, not the woke sort of eco warrior nonsense.
