Hollywood actors announce strike in first joint action with writers in 60 years
  • I applaud this, it just makes me sad thinking other industries don't have similar leverage to get fair compensation for their labor. The studios were happy to wait our the writers because they had the funds to do so and the writers largely didn't. They can't play chicken with sag-aftra though, and they know that so they're smearing them trying to point to other parts of the industry this'll harm as if this whole thing wasn't started by their (the studio's) greed....but yeah what's an amazon warehouse worker to lean on, or uber/lyft drivers when faced with obvious corporate greed? le sigh

    I just realized it was up this morning, and I'm genuinely blown away. I was definitely feeling a little disappointed through most of the trailers (and also the Creative Business Unit III nonsense heh). They were feeling super generic, and a little hackneyed.

    30-40 minutes in and holy crap. The english voice acting is amazing (though my friends pointed out, is it really a final fantasy game if the VA isn't super cringe?), and they seemed to have put a LOT more effort in the mocap for lip syncing the english voice overs as well. It looks amazing, but that's to be expected. And honestly I hadn't been following the development much so I didn't know this beforehand, but my immediate thought was how much like early Game of Thrones the cast of characters and setting was starting to feel like.

    Anybody else have a chance to take a look, or care heh?
