I still can't get over what an amazing game Blood Of Dawnwalker was. I feel depressed now after finishing it. Everything is so well done in the game, side quest and all.

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave is so good! Nintendo is delivering banger after banger after banger here. A generational run really while a certain other company flounders in the gutter

I haven't even touched Rebirth yet lol and I really enjoy the Remake stuff, even more so because it's a sequel to the original, but FF has gone downhill overall imo. Trails is my current favourite JRPG series, and it's really not even a close competition.

@deathkid

No one is stopping you from enjoying the FFVII Reamke games. But my point still stands, it's poorly written fanfiction. First time I played Final Fantasy VII was in 1999. Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 1(I still have both), were my first 2 PlayStation 1 games. So I've played Final Fantasy VII numerous times over the years. What what the Remake games are, are nothing more than imitators.

It's mass market slop at it's finest. Does it make it terrible games? Not at all, Remake Part 1 was fairly decent. But let's not pretend that any of the remake games are as good as the original. I hope Square Enix doesn't touch Final Fantasy VIII. Because they'll ruin that as well.

@phreak - Dont't get me wrong, many fans have valid criticism's with the game and I respect that. And It sucks when a game you're excited for doesn't hit the way you'd hope. I mean as fans we want to enjoy all entries in our favourite franchises.

I feel that as I'm getting older I rather just enjoy games for what they are.

One thing that I am not happy with is that FFVII Revelation will not be fully on disc, even though physical discs are included.

I'm a pretty hardcore FF fan but if you love the Remake series, as I do, you also kind of have to understand that a lot of contentious decisions were made in the story and it's just not gonna land with some people. I totally get why some folks don't like it or agree with the changes.

I do hope however that the announcement of FFXVII is close, feels like the FF fandom needs a new mainline title to reset after the Remake series lol

Hope it lives up to your expectations and you love it.
Always sucks to not be with happy for a game you were excited about.

@phreak - that I understand. Rabid defenders are rarely better than those that hate on a game. If you like a game or series, it makes sense you want to discuss what it could have done better or where it might go in the future.

Think people have become to comfortable with giving simplistic aggressive responses, attaching a strong emotion to it as justification, then calling it a day.

Long time since I posted here, but...
High: Just came off four consecutive record months in the business to end of the financial year
Low, low, low: Think that's coming to an end as the panic over the Corona Virus is affecting travel so all our airline clients are cutting back which means they aren't ordering from us. Travel around the world is suffering, but with the Rand depreciating now would be the time to expect more travellers to SA and that's not going to happen. This will knock on and coupled with the recession means some tough times ahead.

Sorry to hear man. This virus is really steamrolling over plans.
Uni might be getting mandatory handwashing (wash for 20 seconds with soap, then alcohol. Yes.)
Fingerprint readers may be taken offline
At the worst point we will go to distant learning.

And The virus isn't even here yet :/

Yeah it's a bit of a reality check, but if worst case scenario hits no business in SA or the world is not going to be negatively affected. It's whether we can weather the storm that's going to be tough. I also feel sorry for people expected to telecommute while also trying to homeschool their kids, HTF do you juggle that without hiring help and then again how do you hire help just based on your travel savings while expecting these people to travel to your house daily?

Low - Some moron ran a security update on my servers last night and broke authentication which blocked all agents from access the services.

High - Almost have everything up and running but the update seemed to have cause one more massive issue so no email is routing through to agents.

Extra Low - R250k per hour of downtime as per SLA, they have been down since this morning because of this, luckily the majority of services were restored quickly but the main email services are still down.

*Annoyed: So in order to combat the Coronavirus, Wits is de-activating all biometric systems (apparently this takes over a week WTF?).

This, to me, means they know the stupid things spread diseases, but hey, it's only normal flu, herpes and whatever Thabo picked out of his nose in traffic. Seriously, some days the sensors are so miff you can't even see the light

NOW suddenly it's an issue...

Low - Water went out at around 9:30am this morning

High - Was able to shower before it went out, would have been in a mood if I couldn't shower before work. Hate not having running water, hopefully it's back on later today.

Extra High - Finger print readers are offline at the office.

Yep, I know the feeling all too well. I had a wee bit of a fever on Monday and my entire family started freaking out, saying I need to get tested. Come Tuesday, after a day in bed, I was up and working again with no issues.

High: After 2 months of worrying about being unemployed, I started a new job recently.
Low: It is very different from what I have done in the past, so there is a lot to learn.
High: Though it is very new, so far it is going smoothly and I have not been overwhelmed.

Low: Well, the university is now on skeleton staff and semi-lockdown.
Staff are working to get lectures into an online friendly format. Place is quiet
High: New changes are being forced to happen. Hope some good progress will be made.
Traffic is much better, and will get even better after the schools close.
Might go on a "one day work, one day home" system
Will see what develops

Sorry for anyone who's going to get anxious/depressed reading this, but I need to vent.

Will make the assessment over the coming weeks, but this shutdown is affecting businesses badly. Just as I had the business in a position to grow, this happens. We can continue, no doubt, but will we ever recover to the point where the opportunity cost is recovered and exceeded, that is the question.

If I do close the business and decide to seek empl,oyment, will there be any jobs out there to be filled. All I'm waiting for now is the start of the wave of retrenchment annoucnements. Noone is safe.

I feel you.
There is going to be a mayor downswing, but on the other hand, it will pick up again. We are all in for a very rough ten weeks.
Here's hoping it will blow over sooner. The only real ray of light is that the entire country (and world) is involved, so thse are exceptional times. Hopefully banks, employers and other businesses are willing to negotiate

All the best

I know the feeling. My company is finally out of the "just making level" and now this... and what do you do... I have 7 staff and all 7 are the bread winners...

Good Luck! The only thing we can do now is hope and wait. I hope you don't have to make any decisions. (having to let people go is horrible and I hate that we as business owners have to do things like that, the look when you tell them)

One of the worst parts to be, in the coming weeks, is the companies that have forced or denied their staff the ability to work from home when they can - which is happening right now in some local companies - will be the first to let staff go.

The other problem is that businesses that should be implementing procedures to reduce the risk of infection and create a relatively safe work environment for their staff, have done nothing yet.

It may come to a point where people voluntarily leave as well if the concern over infecting someone they love is higher than the need to keep earning.
