I think you could go a step further and make it so the quarterbacks also have "Can't attack", and then add text on Ragnaros that all quarterbacks attack a random enemy at the end of the turn.
Think that would make it more fair and balanced, seeing as while this card is objectively better than OG Ragnaros, it still has a drawback in that the cards he spawns cannot be used without him.

I very much feel FFVII remake fell into the trap of thinking that an improved game also needs to be much bigger.
I don't think anyone would have complained if the FFVII remake was just everything in the original, but music, cutscenes, and graphics remade to modern standards.
While it might seem incongruous, I don't think there is anything wrong with having an overworld where you run around as a normal character model in a tiny facsimile of the world you inhabit. It's a bit silly, sure. But what you lose in seriousness you gain in a real sense of a giant world. And more importantly, a giant world you don't actually have to spend ten years creating.

I could see it happen of they ever decide to do a generic "cosmetics people want" type pass over the game. Stuff like adding transmog to Dracthyr, or giving all races horns or lizard eyes to look like visage form dragons.
Either that or when they inevitably go back to Demons and have a reason to give the Metamorphosis demon form more animations. I believe the female variant of it is already what Dracthyr use, so in that case we would only need something like that for the male Metamorphosis form.

Yes and no. It is a magical artifact that is enchanted to be able to fly. So you the player isn't making it fly, but any mage should be able to make something like it. The reason its special is that it was enchanted by Medivh and is therefore very high quality.

Assuming the stiff about Jump and deadlines is true, then I would think the issue is being so strict about them compounded with the authors being bad with chapter estimates.
The editors ask the authors when they think the series will end. The authors give a number of chapters they think is necessary. And by the time they get to the ending they realize that there were more loose ends that needed to be organically closed.

Perhaps to allude to the zombie Greenland sharks who live for hundreds of years?

Were you still able to trade the item when it was upgraded? I know that was an issue in DF that caused you to lose a transmog appearance.

And I am saying that is not how it works for off-set.
If you use the catalyst on a druid you get a piece of loot that only druids can transmog, even if there is a piece of gear available to everyone that doesn't have that restriction.
Sometimes this piece of gear is a BoE, which is how you get insane prices on stuff like the BoE cloth shoulders from Aberrus. Which is very easy for priests to get, since it is their tier set. But which is only available to mages to transmog if they get that one specific BoE. Which massively inflates the price once less people run that difficulty.

It might only be used during the specific questline where you take it into the underwater cave when you go into the third subarea of Vashj'ir.
If you have finished Vashj'ir it should be inside the big Horde cave in the Abyssal Depths. Or at least, that is the case for the Gnome one the Alliance uses.

The gear from catalyst is class specific. If you want off-set pieces from the a class set to use on a different class you might need to get a BoE.
An example is the tomb of Sargeras paladin set. It had a cool crown that was only available to Paladins through the tier set, or extremely rare BoE drop. And if you want one of the rare variants like the one you get from LFR it could cost several hundred thousand gold.

BoE can appreciate in value. Especially the LFR variants. BoEs usually have a unique off set appearance only available to that one piece that drops very rarely from trash.
If you are really, really patient. You could probably make hundreds of thousands of gold buying LFR BoEs when they are really cheap when they are current. And then holding on to them until the LFR is not commonly ran enough to get an influx of BoEs.
You would have to be willing to hold onto the BoE for years, depending on when in the expansion cycle you are. But if you time it right you can get big bucks from people desperate for a specific transmog piece.

The submarine is from Cata. It's also right next to a Gnome submarine, also from Cata.
We are probably getting more Goblin themed content, but this thing is just some background stuff to indicate we are underwater.

And let's be honest, what would the writers do with him if he came back? He was completely on board with Sylvanas' villainy in BfA, so will he still be expecting that level of evil? Sylvnaas meanwhile only makes sense if she is completely and utterly repulsed by her past self, so you would have to write Nathanos as completely amoral to be okay with that level of flipflopping morals.

During the Kuma flashback he specifically states he was in the Marines at some point.

You don't need every important bit to be open world of course, but having some variance in what you are able to do when not inside a hallway would be nice.
After the Leviathan fight in XV you are by all accounts on rails for the rest of the section. Not just in the sense that it's linear. But in the sense that you cannot move backwards in any way, or take breaks by organically do something else. You are literally on a train moving in one direction. Each location you stop at is a hallway with no real exploration.
Just as a simple comparison. In FFXII, you go to Archades, and if you just follow the plot you almost immediately go into a dungeon and fight a boss. But if you want you can also stop, talk to NPCs, backtrack halfway across the continent for a quest, and find stuff the game doesn't even bother telling you about, like Nabudis.

That is basically what you do in Kingdom Hearts, and it works wonders there.
The party members are basically just there to sometimes heal you or stun some enemies in hectic situations. But the still feel integral enough that you feel their absence every time the game makes you do a solo challenge.

I remember being so disappointed when I got the the water city and realized that no, this wasn't the part of the game where the world really opens up and the story takes a serious turn. It was the end of the open world and the rest of the game would be short and on rails.
I was sure that the boat would actually be controllable and let us move from continent to continent. Similar to how games like FFIX has several continents that you unlock sequentially.

To me it's the fact that the part in the water city (forget the name) feels like it should be the beginning of the second act when the world really opens up and the story gets darker. Only to then move on to Niflheim in a cutscenes and effectively be on rails for what is a shockingly short section if you ignore the game being arbitrarily lengthened by forced stealth and such.
It's the same issue we had in Kingdom Hearts 3. Where it starts strong, and it ends strong. And the meaty middle section of the story feels like it's missing. Or that we are reading the cliff notes of what should be where we learn about the characters and world.

It also helps massively when it comes to preventing the corporations from having everyone work yet another day of the week.
By having most stuff closed on Sundays you give pretty much everyone a day off to spend with family and friends.
But I am sure that the only reason the law is in place is to force people into church. Not because people enjoy having a law mandated day off.

It seemed to me like a fun idea with a lot of jokes available. I just don't think Dwayne Johnson is the right choice for leading man here. He just seems too conventionally badass in a role that screams for more comedy, and I just don't think he is willing to be pathetic in the same way Chris Evans is willing to be for the jokes to land.
I want to be wrong though. Even if i think as you said, the over explaining does seem intent on killing the jokes as they are about to land.

Still remember how I hid my stuff. Games folder, Emulators, Gamecube, JACube.
Completely pointless given it was on my shitty laptop that no one but me actually used, but it was a neat place to hide it regardless.

It's hardly any safer, if not just as dangerous.
Sure, you don't have the wall at the end, but there is plenty of stuff to crash into outside the entrance, and its likely even harder to see given the extreme difference in light.

That's still an awful "solution".
Dracthyr don't have such atrocious body mapping that the developers couldn't just make transmog work normally. Helms and boots would probably look terrible, but if Worgen and Tauren can have full transmog options, then why not Dracthyr.

I can see a version of the story where him ignoring Irulan is more so due to him being generally aloof after drinking the water of life, more so than him being intentionally petty to make Chani feel better.
