Okay this has been bothering me lately… Wasn’t inverted y usually the default setting in games until somewhat recently? Now it seems to never be the default. What changed and when? Or is this just in my head?
I still think inverted was the default in the 2000s. Maybe around 2008 with the PS3 and 360 era it started to change? This is also when video games really seemed to take off for the average person too, so maybe that has something to do with it?
They’re both valid. It just depends on your mental model of the control scheme; whether you feel like you’re moving the crosshair, or your character’s head.
Nevermind the logos, what even are those titles? All the current ones sound like working titles they forgot to change to something more interesting before release
Bravely Default was the first of its kind, it gets a pass. Considering it started off as yet another spin-off of Final Fantasy, it’s better that they tried to distance themselves from FF because it very much isn
It was definitely a gimmick to go with naming the game after the mechanic. But they’ve definitely gone too far with the others. Octopath and Diofield are at least unique words, though Octopath Traveler is equally as on the nose as Bravely Default, oCtO = 8 bE
There’s no excuse for the other two, Triangle Strategy was literally the working title when the game was announced and then they lazed out and didn’t change it. Meanwhile Various Daylife is an atrocity of a game title.
Can’t talk about the others, but that’s kinda what happened with Triangle Strategy. It was presented as “Project Triangle Strategy” when it was first announced, and the title was officially a working title.
Then it was officially released as “Triangle Strategy”
I think something similar happened with Bravely Default, but not sure about that
Are you sure you're not thinking of Octopath Traveler? That was the first game with that engine and they presented it as a working title when first announced.
I was so obsessed with FFVII and so really hyped for the upcoming FFVIII I bought Brave Fencer Musashi mostly because it came with a FFVIII demo disc.
Funny thing, FFVIII ended up disappointing me, and Brave Fencer Musashi grew on me quite a bit; I still give it a playthrough every couple of years. Even bought the sequel but that one didn’t quite have the same charm.
Everything on the left prior to 2003 (which looks like everything on there other than Dragon Quest IIRC) was just SquareSoft. They began going downhill in the spring of 2003 when they actually merged with Enix.
IMO, Dragon Quest is the only game Enix made that was actually worth a shit and it still paled in comparison to the likes of Final Fantasy. It sucks that instead of Square elevating Enix, it just feels like Enix drug Square down.
Also, wtf is “Various Daylife?” That one sounds more like it could be a competitor to The Sims and not a JRPG. lol
I think your opinion on Dragon Quest might be a bit unpopular. Its a very popular franchise in Japan specifically and I have personally always liked it better than Final Fantasy.
All logos here are made artificially monochrome (ebay, Google still remain coloured, etc.). Revolut has broken its R into 2 pieces in 2023. AirBnB and Microsoft logos include now their symbols, not only wordmarks (and they are omitted in this image). Spotify still uses its "beams".
Yes, some brands went (more) bland - especially Pinterest, Google and ebay.
For fashion: Burberry has returned to its knight in 2023. And some fashion brands go against this trend - 2017 Zara wordmark is more complicated than before.
BTW, even on this image I can see, that former Revolut and AirBnB logos look like knock-overs of each other. Both used even shades of blue xd
One of the first games I remember being genuinely freaked out by. RE remakes are killing it. Silent Hill 2 remake is hugely anticipated. Parasite Eve’s time is coming.
Pretty meh meme, the latest ones are all the same dev team while the older ones are different teams with very different projects. Just look at the recent Mana game announcement, or KH4, etc. Kind of misleading for the sake of rousing up people.
Just feels… a bit “Kids these days…”, ya know. Darn millennials and their simple fonts.
