As some of you may know, Episode 9 recently had a working title change. Initally, the working title for episode 9 was "black diamond" which some fans thought was an allusion to Snoke returning from death in the film. Others instead claimed was an allusion to Reylo, as there was something about a black diamond symbolizing/being associated with marriage in some European country that I forgot the details about. However, now, none of that speculation matters. Because its come out from several star wars media outlets that the working title has been changed from "black diamond" to "trIXie." What makes this title change interesting is twofold. The first is the timing of it. a long while back it was said J.J. Abrams had already finished the script for episode 9; this was stated long before Solo even hit theaters. Back then, the film was still under the working title of "black diamond." However, that was pre-solo. For those who are not in the know, Solo has been a spectacular failure for a Star Wars film in terms of box office success, and thats not because Solo is a bad film. I actually thought Solo was fun and engaging film, but I realize that it was perfectly set up to fail.
Regardless of what you think about The Last Jedi, there is no question it left a bad taste in the mouth of a lot of Star Wars fans. There is a very vocal and very powerful fan movement that has been growing which sees the last jedi as an assault on Star Wars and a giant social justice warrior middle finger to the franchise and its established fans. Regardless of where you stand on this issue, the fact remains this fan movement is militant and powerful, and while some in it are alt-right trolls the majority of people in the movement are normal every day individuals who are all for diversity in Star Wars, but can see bad writing and poorly handled character development for what it is and simply want a higher standard of quality for their Star Wars films, or at least the same standards George Lucas had when he was at the helm. This fan movement has made it a point to hammer home that they need to hurt Disney in the wallet if they want to cause real change, and as a result the failure of Solo at the box office is in no small part due to the boycott battle and tooth-and-nail fight this army of dedicated star wars fans have waged.
Funny, then, how after the fans destroy Solo to send a message to Disney, that episode 9 gets a working title change
... keep reading on reddit β‘I remember leaving the theatre for both just being angry and dumbfounded by the dumpster fire I just watched, but for whatever reason I thought TLJ was worse. After watching them again outside of the theatre it has to be ROS. Itβs laughable. I was legit laughing at how stupid it was. I think the scene that flipped the switch for me was when Kylo was 40 yards from Rey on random desert planet B doing their stupid force tug of war and then it just fades to black and they got away? And then the knights of ren (lol) hide in the asteroid field and then lose them? Itβs laughable.
Being one of the most popular video game series (combined with the fact that RPGs is my favorite genre), final fantasy definitely had my interest for a while - and it surely wasn't at all a long time ago I finally decided to enter what has definitely become my second favorite video game franchise (just behind Legend of Zelda). I first started with FF6 on mini SNES in 2019. It remains my favorite so far, and was the only 10/10 Final Fantasy game after playing FF4, FF7 and FF8. However, that wasn't the case when I finally fully played...
Final Fantasy IX
I truly love this game very much. It's not perfect, but I definitely consider it a masterpiece in many departments, just like Sakaguchi. Personally, I still prefer FF6, but this entry is now my second favorite in the series so far. It's definitely not for everyone, since it goes back to the roots of the series, and this was met with some controversy among people who grew up with the changes the other games made. Yet I think this is one of the charming parts of the game. Despite feeling like an old classic final fantasy title, it still takes what the newer games had and put it in an excellent way. The charm of characters, serious moments, gameplay, adventure, etc. is still there even though it goes to the roots of the series - and all of these departments are excellent.
A favorite point for many FF9 fans are the characters. I absolutely love them. Although there are definitely minor improvements that can be made, I personally think the game had some of the quirkiest characters that are usually so lovable at different points in the game. All of them are distinct in terms of personality, design and even their combat abilities to a certain extent, although some might share similarities with others in battle. However, they are still different from each other, yet fit perfectly as adventure buddies. The side characters are also very awesome. Some of them might even be as great as some of the playable characters. This game just knows how to express so much personality through its characters.
Just like almost every Final Fantasy game, the music is spectacularly masterful. Infact, I think this might be one of Nobuo Uematsu's best soundtracks - I mean, it's his favorite soundtrack that he composed! That already should say something. Really powerful music with amazing, artistic composition. It even compares to above-average modern soundtracks, if not even better in some aspects.
The world in the game is truly

- What OPs didnβt make it that should have?
- What are your thoughts about the seeding?
Personally, I would really enjoy Spain/Mexico or Greece/Rome. I think Spanish or Mexican culture would translate really well to the PokΓ©mon world, but I also think Gamefreak could do something really awesome with Greek or Roman Gods or something similar. On that same wave, I think Egypt would be pretty cool, with the Egyptian Gods and, more importantly, the Pyramids, but I want to hear what you all have to say! So let me know what countries you want to see a region based off of!
Think about it, imagine if Lucasfilm hadnβt part ways with Colin Trevorrow and went with his creative decisions to make the final product. What do you think the overall reaction wouldβve been from the fan base?

The sleek outline of the Terran flagship loomed ahead on the view screen. Our sensors failed to detect any damage or deviation from normal function, even at close range. But our hails to the Terran ships, requesting status updates, had gone unanswered for hours now.
The radio silence from their fleet was out of character, and I had begun to fear the worst. A shuttle was sent to re-establish contact with the humans, and to render aid if necessary. I opted to accompany the team, despite the possible risk to my safety. It was uncommon for a high-ranking officer like myself to partake in a rescue mission, but I felt as if I owed them my presence. I figured if the roles were reversed, Commander Rykov wouldnβt be watching from the sidelines; he would be helping in any way he could.
What could have caused the Terrans to cease all communications, without any explanation? It wasnβt totally unexpected that something had gone wrong with the plan, of course. The logistics of evacuating thousands of civilians in minutes were impractical, if not impossible.
I recalled my brief deployment to the Jatari lunar colony, when an inbound asteroid forced a mandatory evacuation. Despite government warnings, many people were reluctant to abandon their homes. Those that did leave in the initial rush funneled into a single spaceport, leading to congestion and delays. It had taken days to clear out all of the inhabitants, and we swept for stragglers down to the last moment.
From my experience, the only hope of completing the mission in the time allotted was divine intervention. Yet Commander Rykov seemed so confident, and had brushed off my objections as if they were trivial. How could I press him further, when the humans had delivered time and again on their impossible promises?
Had I listened to my instincts, perhaps the current predicament could have been avoided. Now, we were sailing into possible danger, without the faintest idea what we might be facing.
The pilot, a young female named Daari, cleared her throat. βSir, our sensors picked up two readings consistent with plasma rounds. Closing quickly.β
My antennae twitched with surprise. Who was even shooting at us? The only ships in our vicinity were the Terransβ, but they had never

βFlight attendants, cross check and stand by for all-call.β I gazed out of my first class window at the earth rushing by at what seemed like the speed of light. The annual Doctor Nurse MedSpa symposium was set to start tomorrow, and I couldnβt be more excited. Dr. Sophia Thomas DNP, FNP, PNP, FAANP, MSNBC, HGTV, my mentor and hero, seated on my right. Her crimson hair contrasting her white coat burned with the same passion she poured into our national organization, the AANP. She was the ultimate catalyst to getting nationwide full practice authority back in 2027 but her time as Queen Doctor Nurse was waning. And she would pass the torch to me, a necessary yoke I was prepared to bear. Maybe she would even announce it this weekend at the meeting. I remained stoic despite my excitement.
A screaming baby behind me cried in unison with the jet engine. I turned around and placed two fingers on the crying infants lips. The crying immediately ceased. I rested my head and allowed the melatonin to take over. Just then, a noise which wakened every fiber of my being. βPlease help! Is there a Doctor on the plane?β I stood up and rushed down the aisle to find an elderly woman on the ground with a crowd surrounding her. βMove out of the way! Dr. Karen NP coming through!β I knelt down next to the woman and locked eyes with another woman adjacent to me. βWhatβs going on here?β βWe doubled my Grandmaβs insulin because she wanted an extra bag of airline pretzels and now she wonβt respond. Please help Dr. Karen NP!β I knew exactly what to do before she finished speaking. βSheβs in hypernatremic crisis from salt overload. I need some tubing from an oxygen mask and a large bottled water, stat!β I dropped my pseudo-NG tube and started running water through it. βYou saved her life Dr. Karen NP!β I glared at her and walked to the cockpit and demanded that the pilot land the plane immediately as I knew we needed q2 hour CMPs to monitor her sodium. βSorry, got to keep on schedule.β βSir, this is not a suggestion. This is a Doctorβs order!β I promptly recruited one of the flight attendants who just completed her 500 hour online flight training webinar to perform an emergency landing.
Upon our emergency landing in Houston, I exited the plane only to be greeted by a crowd cheering me. The feeling was surreal. A woman stopped me on my way off the jetbridge. βDr. Karen NP, Iβm your biggest fan. I really need your help. My son Timmy here has red eyes, a fever, swollen hands and feet,

I strongly believe Outbreak would benefit from having different regions presenting us players with unique threats to our survival. Currently outbreak regions are just the same thing in different locations. The appeal of new maps in zombies has always been the unique experience each brings which outbreak largely lacks in comparison. If this is a mode Treyarch are dead set on succeeding they should take the opportunity maps like zoo can bring and give us some unique specials/elites to fight (the elephant model currently exists within cold war in DOA!!!).
Personally I also miss the environmental hazards old maps like Shi No Numa & Origins featured (swamps and mud to slow us down etc.) Anyways I'd like to hear your thoughts and ideas! :)
