ImpAtom posted:That's an actual translation of what the girl is saying, yes. She's saying "do you know how I make myself cry for people" because she is faking crying. I mean you could rephrase it as like "Do you know how I make myself cry for people?" but it isn't necessary and in context is a correctly translated line. Literal translations are not good translations. There are better ways to say that in a less... awkward sounding manner, I'm sure. That was my point.

Yeah, she's a former child actor, crying on demand is what she does.

No, this isn't a case of being "literally correct." It is a 100% correct translation. She is a former child actor. People pay her to cry. She literally, in-game, cries for people. This also is neither the beginning nor the end of the dialogue but two snippets taken from the middle of a conversation.

SO I hear FFX/X-2 HD is coming out this week? Is there a leaked trophy list? Please say there isn't one for winning the Chocobo Race  Or completing the sphere grid and maxing stats, that would just be ridiculous.

Krad posted:"Do you know how I cry for people?" That seriously sounds okay to you guys? Okay. Remember that you're in a JRPG thread before you judge on what sounds stupid. Stupid and outlandish poo poo is the name of the game. The sequence basically boils down to: 1st meeting: Girl: Want to see me cry? It'll only cost you 10 gil! Lightning:  Why would I want that?Girl: It'll totally be worth it, trust me! Lightning: Fine, what the hell. Cry for me, kid. Girl: Hmm, no, can't do it. Not for you. Sorry. Lightning: But you already took my money. Girl: It's ok, I'll tell you a story instead. [Monologues about her business] 2nd meeting: Girl: Want to see me cry, it's only 50 gil! Lightning: Get lost, you already pulled this con once. Girl: No really, it'll be worth it this time! I swear! Lightning: Fine, whatever. Do it. Girl: Ohh, gee, still can't do it. Not for you. Lightning: You little poo poo. Girl: How about I tell you how I cry for people? What I think about. Lightning: Something sad? Like your pointless existence?

Hahaha don't worry, there's nothing crazy like maxing out stats... (5 chest chocobo races, unlocking every node for every character, beating the final optional boss, obtaining all the celestial weapons, and getting all the slot reels? Sure that's not as bad right?). X-2 has a trophy for completing the bestiary which is catastrophically boring to do. The last time I 100%'d X-2, I hit maybe 50% bestiary completeness. Also there's a trophy for getting a 99 chain, which will be terrifyingly frustrating to do I'm sure. Systematic System fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Mar 18, 2014 |

I never came close to completing the sphere grid for even a single character. Just so mind-numbingly grindy. Let alone the people who go through the entire sphere grid deleting "suboptimal" node and replacing them with new nodes to have perfect stats. gently caress. That.

Excels posted:So which FF game have you all put the MOST hours into total? If we're talking single file, it's FFXII. It's the first one I ever got more than 100 hours into. If we're talking total time, though, it's IX. I've replayed that game at least 12-15 times, and at least 30 hours per file. It's never gotten old.

So I predict there will be a lot of FFX/X-2 talk in the upcoming days and weeks and even though I am poor and can't get the game right now, I wanted to say one of my favorite bits from X. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIOAmRsU4eQ Maybe it's because I played X when I was young and genre blind but this whole trial bit really sticks out to me. I can't remember thinking Yevon were the good guys or whatever but all of them turning on you and revealing the true nature of Yevon will forever stay in my memory as a high point of the game's drama. Plus you gotta love the way Seymour reacts to Kelk staring at him after learning about his patricide. "Hm? Hadn't you heard?" I guess it also has a big place in my memory because Auron is kind enough to hammer home the SYMBOLISM. Spiral of Death. Spira. Themes And Ideas Explained To You. Not that I mind - I was young and dumb and didn't expect that kind of stuff in my video games and I'm pretty sure FFX was meant for people like me so they were just being smart about their audience.

I forgot I pre-ordered X/X-2 but it's coming tomorrow I guess. I will probably be playing Dark Souls II for at least another few months but I'm glad I have a copy of this to play. X was the first FF I ever played, but it was only through my friend. Still remember the opening scene pretty vividly and I'm interested in playing the game again.

ImpAtom posted:There's an entire mission line based around a dude who lost his girlfriend and who is mourning her and wants someone to watch fireworks with. Lightning agrees but only on the condition she gets a free steak. Throughout the rest of the mission she continues to remind him that she's only there for the steak when he tries to monologue about his sadness. To be fair he doesn't mention this until halfway through the date. He only tells her he got stood up and asks her to watch the fire-works with her because "she'll do". I don't really blame her for being more interested in the steak. ImpAtom posted:I can not tell you when LR is trying to be serious and when it is trying to be a parody.

In spite of the above, I pre-ordered the new guide (International Version it must be different right? Right?) and both a PS3 and Vita copy of the game. Cross-save functionality! I'm really dumb with my money sometimes. E: also, someone asked if it's coming out this week. The answer is yes as I just got a shipment notice from my online game store.

I'm looking to download the X/X-2 remaster from PSN on my vita this week (it's out on Friday in europe) but I will be at work all day and travelling after that, to a place with terrible internet facilities no less. Downloading games at work is frowned upon, so is there any chance that the games will be available after midnight on Thursday? I have very little experience with PSN, i'd still love to have the games by the weekend. Also, as i'm asking, does anyone have a confirmed filesize for each game? I think I read somewhere that X will be 3.5GB which is just about the size of the remaining space on my memory card and my new 16GB one won't arrive until next week probably. (I should have planned things better.  )

It didn't go up at midnight for the US release, so I really doubt it will for the EU release. X/X-2 combined is 7 gigs for the Vita version, so I would assume it's a fairly even split and 3.5 sounds about right.

I was planning on finishing my series runthrough before X/X-2 HD came out but I hit a snag with FF8. It's funny, I love the game but I've never made it past the last dungeon of disc 3. I just get so psyched out because it's a huge chunk of gameplay and then another huge chunk and you're done. I haven't even started 9 yet, either (although I do love 9 and have beaten it before). My poor backlog

It takes only as long as it takes to mash X and get snacks while cutscenes play assuming you have Enc-None and the traditional over-optimized party. You can do it. As a kid I never finished FF8 because I got the Ragnarok and just played card games for like 20 hours and then bought FFIX. Went to a friends house to watch FF8's ending and was like, yep, that sure is some poo poo.

I've never made it past disc 2 anytime I've tried to replay FF8. My memories of Disc 3 are... not good, either. I even bought them all on PSN whenever I was feeling nostalgiac, but just... eh. I am however having a lot of fun with the newly-translated, balanced and enhanced version of FF7 for the NES. It's seriously a lot of fun, and kind of has a more interesting equipment/magic system than the original.

Are there any videos that compare the audio quality of the Vita and Ps3 version of FFXHD? I heard the vita one is kind of lacking but I'd really like to play it on the go but don't to be stuck with a bad sounding OST. I tried googling but I could only find PS2-->ps3 comparison things.

I can't decide which Sphere Grid I want to use. On one hand I want to try out something new, on the other I want to relive going through the game mostly the same as it was (I had been wanting to play through it again but news of the re-release stayed my hand every time). I mean, eventually you end up going into everyone elses sphere grid, anyway. The nights I spent getting everything for King Cactuar, Overdrive->AP, and the damage-to-overdrive-charge are a blur to me but I remember that pretty much being the end for any challenge to completing the sphere grid. 99 sphere levels per battle.

Tone is a problem that most FF games have trouble with, in much the same way that the Star Wars prequels do. A lot of the game takes itself so seriously and is so melodramatic and its interspersed with comedy bits that are rather stupid and the end result is just a jarring mess.
