Not sure where someone got "Final Fantasy 8 villain" from dragon lady. To me it was more a remake of SiN, complete with ex cop sunglasses being made for a chump.



What hurt the story the most was taking the Dresden Kodan trans human aspect too seriously instead of just leaving it at a parable for runaway consumerism. At the start I figured it was going to be the scientists discovering a cure for implant rejection only to be thwarted by global forces seeking to maintain their revenue from controllable drug addicts. That would have fit into the themes of capitalism and control a lot better than...whatever the actual plot was. The Illuminati's attempt to control out of control technology goes out of control? You have the real, relatable evil of big pharma seeking lifelong treatment rather than cures and instead go with Kimoko being fursecuted.

The story ended up feeling like the boss fights: outsourced with Eiodos scrambling to piece together the modular effort. The trailers for the game ended up telling a better story than the game. I refuse to believe the people who did the main plot were also responsible for the brilliant emails (highlight of the game: hacking Prittchard's computer and reading his script rejection letter).

Bonus boss bypass: by accident I discovered that you can get take downs to work against muscle man. Just wait until he's vaulting over a wall then hit it while he's mid air. Instant win.
