Oh hey, maybe a reason not to buy the game then. Nestle suck bottom.

[pisskop]

I think that the game series' name is a bit misleading. All episodes are called 'Final', yet it just keeps on going.

Square Enix is now working with Nestle to offer DLC for FF7 remake (the first third, which is probably all we'll see) in exchange for you buying candy. Want to play a video game because you're stuck inside? Break quarantine to buy candy, and we'll handle your micro-transactions that way.

Wait Nestle? The same company that sells foodstuffs?

The original's plot is that history keeps repeating itself.  You save the day only to have the your own actions create a loop that makes the game reset itself.

Not quite. The time loop is getting to the end and losing to Chaos (the final boss). Defeating Chaos breaks the loop.

The same. Also, from the same company as cigarettes, and non-dairy cheese substitute.

They just want you to buy butterfingers right now, though. Because of how that ties into the plot of Final Fantasy.

I still think Enix is the worst thing to happen to "mainline" Final Fantasy.

Since FFVII, the only ones I've really enjoyed are IX, X, and XII.  While XII is technically Square Enix, it still feels like an "old" FF to me.  XIII was way too linear, I got bored and never finished.  I have XV, but meh.  And the fact that it has Coleman product placement is just... sad.

Square Enix is significantly less than the sum of their parts.

PETA does a lot of great work in other areas, and I'm pretty sure there are good folks in other parts of the organisation, but for some reason their shelters are fucking evil.
Kinda taints the whole organisation at this point.

They treat animals as above humans in many respects is the root of their problems. They would likely kill millions of humans to save a single rabbit if they could (then euthanize the rabbit). I'm not aware of any good sides to PETA.

They unintentionally create the very best dark comedy?

Sure they do. But I meant how Yoink said that they do a lot of great work in other areas. I'm not aware of anything they do not going horribly and possibly hilariously wrong.

[Egan_BW]

"people for the ethical treatment of animals" is clearly some anthropocentric bullshit though

[Yoink]

They treat animals as above humans in many respects is the root of their problems.

How the hell is that the root of their problems, or even a problem at all? That's kind of the idea - given the treatment of non-human animals by society at large, preferential treatment from certain groups hardly even begins to balance things out.
The problem is that they apparently treat said animals pretty much as terribly as everyone else does.   

Also, their animal rights work as a whole tends to be rather more, uh, positive than their shelter business. Protests and demonstrations and such.
Of course, then you have irredeemably dumb examples like a bunch of people getting naked and lying around on giant-sized plates in the middle of the footpath, but I'm not sure if that was PETA or someone else. Regardless, some of their activity is much more productive.

I believe in the superiority of humans (and other hypothetical sapient species) over non-sapient species. There is no need to "balance things out".

However I support "normal" animal rights reforms like trying to improve conditions in factory farms. But that doesn't seem to be going far enough according to PETA...

Well see, there's your problem. Cruelty is inherent in such a viewpoint. Hopefully one day you realise that!

Animals are food, not friends.

[Egan_BW]

por que no los dos?

[Il Palazzo]

Friends can be food too!
