From the end point of Z, the franchise fractures into three distinct timelines: Daima, Super and GT.

All three hold their own continuities, and canons. The fans can choose which one they prefer.

Most of the stuff in the Endless Tower isn't needed for the platinum. The actually hard bits of it were added with the DLC and are not needed for the associated trophy.

Clea was pretty easy. Simon was the only challenge - and a quick Google told me that I only needed to switch 3 pictos to Maelle fron the setup I'd come up with on my own to make the fight very much doable.

5/10 is WAY too high for the plat difficulty for CO:E33 - and having to drop it to easy at all is laughable.

Ni No Kuni, Clair Obscur (I'm sure everyone is bored of hearing it by now, but it is sensational), and Suikoden (1 and 2) need some love and AT LEAST some honourable mentions on this.

Half of these aren't villains - a villain is someone specifically doing BAD things. An antagonist is someone at odds with the protagonist (Dexter), but that does not make them a villain - especially when the protagonist is a serial killer.

The actual villains who are on here are wildly out of order for any ranking system though. In no way, shape or form should 6 of the top 10 be in the top half of the list (if even on the list at all).

"Goku managed to unlock and master Ultra Instinct in the Tournament of Power to defeat Jiren effortlessly."

Who honestly wrote this and thought we wouldn't catch it? That literally did not happen.

That doesn't make any sense. Rook isn't an LGBTQ+ character. Rook is whatever the player makes them. Because I got it for free, I just finished it last night - Rook was cisgendered, male and straight for me.

Missed ONE trophy, so replaying it to a specific point as a female Qunari with stupid character creation choices made.

The character who arguably should have won that award is Taash. A bit heavy handed, but a properly dealt with non binary, pansexual character.

I can't disagree.

What I would happily see though, is some form of map system where you have to go into the menu to look at it. No icon to show where you are, but the map can be detailed enough to work out landmarks from. Thematically, it makes sense as part of the journal that Gustav takes with him and is periodically updated at camp throughout the game.

It could even have solid lines to not show up where there are more obscured passageways, getting updated if you happen to actually find it and walk down it.

Honestly, I'd barely even use that as a feature, but I'd find it cool and would fit with the spirit of the expedition.

#4 is one person... Jack Garland

There is no 8, 9 or 10 - it's a list of 7.

The reason that they can name 4 characters for a single entry is because you could make any one of the protagonists into a warrior. They are interchangeable.

Literally says it in the article - Lightning becomes a God by the end of her trilogy... She's very clearly the strongest on this list, and still would be, even if they'd remembered to include Sephiroth and Auron - I'm not including summons, like Odin.

What!? Aerith doesn't leave BEFORE the Temple Of The Ancients. She leaves AFTER it.

Also, in FFIX - the game doesn't even show Vivi dying. It's just heavily implied that he will AFTER the events of the game. Since he was a prototype, they don't know if he has a longer lifespan or not, so they don't know how long he'll live for.

As for Shadow - that's an OPTIONAL death that is at the players' hands. That shouldn't count.

Easy to tell this list was crafted either using AI, or from reading reddit threads, instead of actually playing the games.

Why talk about Lightning's story arc and end it with the first game? Her story spanned three games (even if she was more of a background, but still very important figure in the second part), concluding in Lightning Returns. Her story was actually pretty great, to an extent so many don't know, because so many skipped part two, then even more skipped the finale.

To UNLOCK - not to beat.

Emerald weapon literally just needs you to approach him in the sub to start the fight. That's a piece of piss.

You don't even need to get the underwater materia to fight him, since it is VERY possible to beat him in under 20 minutes.
