Every single character introduces him or herself to Tidus while he awkwardly changes the subject or spazzes out like a retard because Square in all its wisdom decided to let you name the main character in a voiced, character-driven game

the ending of x-2 contains a scene where yuna talks at length about how stupid the idea of sacrificing yourself to save the world is

I didn't say being a noble martyr is particularly smart. though it is perhaps smarter before you learn the whole thing is a big joke

epitasis posted:I mean. they have scenes together. the one looking out at the broken arch thing, the terrible laughing scene, the one in the water. so those things happen. they are in close physical proximity to one another, this is much is true Nothing was terrible about the laughing scene and if you paid attention to it instead of cringing the whole time you would see that was one of those scenes that showed Tidus was pretty much the only thing making her happy. The only time she ever had fun on her quest to sacrifice herself was when she was with that yelly dorkhog.

Brasseye posted:Anyone know a good combination of dress spheres for x-2? i have all of them except mascot but its a little overwhelming to have so many options and Im getting my rear end kicked in arena mode Most combinations are good, it just depends on what equipment/abilities you have and what you're fighting. Gunner/Black Mage/White Mage is a solid setup, but of course you can spherechange at any point if i.e. you want to buff with Songstress, or you need the higher HP of Berserker, etc. In Training posted:I love X-2 but this is legitimately insanely lazy and can't believe they sold the game for 60 dollars Solution: Don't play X. There you go, all the environments and assets are brand new. In Training posted:Yeah and since that's clearly the demarcated "True Ending" for 100%ing the game, it's what the writers want to have as the most moving finale, so they don't believe in any of that stuff at all. But hey, I skipped all the cutscenes and didn't get 100%, so what do I know. I like the massage mini game There is no true ending, that's just an ending. Besides, can you imagine the hell the developers would have gotten if they dangled the prospect of Tidus coming back the whole game, then none of the endings actually followed through on it? gigglefeimer fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Aug 5, 2015 |

If the 7 remake does well and we get FF10 remake 20 years from now, I would love if they do a retcon where Jecht, Auron, and Braska succeed. And then in 10remake-2, Auron, Braska, and Cid go on an adventure as a boy band looking for Ject.

zedprime posted:As much as I think I want that, I always remember is that I would want that instead of the FFX we got. As it is, all the entertaining parts would have been spoiled by the collectible spheres and the story arc is FFX but ends an act earlier. Jecht Braska and Auron DID succeed though. They did exactly what they set out to do, and Braska and Jecht were willing to pay the price. Then Auron succeeds in his goals by raising Tidus and pushing him and Yuna. There was no way for them to change any of that. The only reason Tidus and crew even had a chance was because it was Jecht who sacrificed himself, Jecht who had a bond with Tidus and Auron and helped their plan along, Jecht who could be calmed by the Hymn of the Faith.

Literally The Worst posted:Should I play FF Tactics or FFT War Of the Lions? WotL is great, but it's missing some stuff like battle shouts when casting spells, the translation is way better but leans too heavily on GoT-style writing. Also some slowdown, but it's a loving SRPG who gives a flying gently caress about slowdown. This is the way.

Literally The Worst posted:Should I play FF Tactics or FFT War Of the Lions? Which translation do you like better? FFT: Don't blame us. Blame yourself or God. Or FFT:WOTL - 'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I. FFT: - Balbanes: Dycedarg, Zalbag... my beloved sons... Take care of Ramza. He may be your half brother, but he is my own flesh. Or FFT:WOTL - Barbaneth: Dycedarg, Zalbaag. You are dear to me. But Ramza is no less so. Though he be not the issue of the womb that bore your, my sons, still my blood courses his veins. Watch after him. I would always go with the original. WOTL comes off trying too hard, sounds more stilted, and loses a lot of the charm of the original. GoT never had dialogue near that awkward.

War of the Lions has lines that are better and lines that are worse. especially later in the game, when the original's translation kind of falls apart.quote:"Nonsense! There's no need to kill them! Just let them go!" vs quote:"We need only to put them to rout!" the original has some good lines, but the vast majority of it is pretty bland, and there are points where it makes no sense whatsoever. War of the Lions is trying too hard, but sometimes it sticks the landing, and at least it has personality. One isn't really better than the other.

also the slowdown in wotl is pretty bad. like yeah it can't affect how you play the game but waiting a solid minute for a basic spell animation to go through at 2 fps suuucks.

The original FFT translation doesn't have "a lot of charm", it has five good lines. Most of the rest ranges from bad to incomprehensible, but I will grant that some of the terrible battle shouts have an over-the-top charm to them. "Inscribe the dead god in a rotting body... Flare!" and "The doom of a planet, Crush Punch!" are really, really bad, but in that "so bad they're good" way. For my money, though, the WotL translation is uniformly good so it takes the prize.

And I mean, at the end of the day it's whatever I guess, but I'm still half-amused half-puzzled so many sword skills are called "____ Punch". Split Punch, Crush Punch, Blastar Punch, Hellcry Punch.

I mean Crush Punch is not even a good skill, you never use it over Lightning Stab, it is not planet-dooming, nor it is a punch.

The FFT translation had some rough patches and was hammy but WotL looks like some translation team thought they could be Shakespeare and it's a bunch of community theater dialogue. Endorph posted:also the slowdown in wotl is pretty bad. like yeah it can't affect how you play the game but waiting a solid minute for a basic spell animation to go through at 2 fps suuucks. Play it on iOS, they updated it a year or two ago and all animations have some frameskip and go about 2x as fast as normal, which I'll happily take over the s l o w a s h e l l a l t e r n a t i v e.
