    Man $2800 for plane tickets is bananas.

    For the lay-flat beds though? That's actually relatively cheap. Normally, they're in the $5-$6k range, and will often jump quickly to ~$10k for some routes.

    I'm not even saying thats more than normal, I just wouldn't go at all.

    I will say that it is the total post tax+fees price.

    But yea, getting a full 180 degree leaning bed seat for a flight to Japan is a bit costly. Buuuuutttt I don't think I could ever convince myself to fly that long in regular seats again. I can barely handle a flight to Florida from NJ without feeling like I am going to die from discomfort.

    six hours is about my limit where a regular coach seat is just starting to get unbearable

    but dropping more than $2k on just the flight is something that makes my stomach hurt so i dunno maybe i can take a boat or something

    And yea I expected in the $5k range so just shy of $3k was amazing. And that's with the layflats on both the long part of the flight and the shorter 4 hour leg of the journey both ways. Definitely not complaining here.

    I'm not trying to. I'm basically saying I wouldn't do that trip.

    More power to Stacey for doing it, I'm not trying to be rude, but ... there's lots of other places I personally would go.

    as long as you've got your indexes set up nicely that's about the extent of what you need to do unless you're trying to go SUPER optimization and are setting up buffers and all that

    you see your trip to belize is like this ambrosia apple. crisp. refreshing, delightful
    his trip to japan is like this red delicious apple. recognizable comforting..but inside is mealy and bland.

    Are they not probably going to just look like they did in Advent Children

    That's possibly what's most impressing me about the FF7 remake, actually; Advent Children was hyped up at the time as this huge demonstration of incredible graphics, and now it actually looks worse than standard gameplay

    We've come a hell of a long way in just a few short years

    I got a real cheap boat. I don't know if it will make it to Japan, but you are certainly welcome to try.

    My normal fights to Japan from Colorado were usually 16 hours on a plane one way. But that usually included a 2 hour trip to another airport since at the time there were not direct flights to Tokyo.

    my parents actually checked the price of that, just to check and I was like no no no, you're misinterpreting my complaining. I'm complaining just because I really need to, after 24 hours on planes and about two of them spent sleeping, not because I want you to do anything about it, jesus

    It was announced as episodic when they originally announced it. This isn't new information.
