ImpAtom posted:I think it's fair to say that games have trended towards being self-serious in a lot of places. How many games end with the protagonists tragically dying while sad music plays, and how much humor is self-effacing sarcasm? I'm speaking really generally here, but I don't think someone on Something Awful has room to complain about the cynical "haha I don't really like this stupid thing" attitude.

I could actually go for something that's serious right about now, but I'm not quite sure I can trust square to pull it off without Narm, or retreading FF13 territory. I like pretty much all the drama I've seen in Ivalice stories, and tactics ogre: LUCT. Can I get something like that?

Type-0 is very serious when it's about a war, but also very not-serious when it's about a high school

Mr. Fortitude posted:LR is still coming. If it wasn't, I doubt IV, The After Years, V and Type-0 would be available on PC this year as well. They do need to do something about the port quality though, Type-0 is the only halfway ok port and that's only after people realized that the high AA setting actually meant 4x supersampling which would bring most systems down to its knees. I wish at some point the actual GBA versions of FF4-6 would be rereleased. Those are probably the best versions imo. I ebat FF5 on iOS but controlling it was not fun

They cleaned the bug up in the later Advance titles, but iirc they also fixed it on the European FF4-A release. And it was way better than giving your actions priority, sometimes it just filled up your ATB instantly. For casters, this meant their "cast" ATB would get filled, and often triggered another insta-fill right after since it usually made the game skip a frame or two, and the bug seemed to have been tied to framerate.

Even as a horny teenager, a fully clothed character taking off their swimwear didn't register with me as particularly sexy and I completely forgot about that 15-second CGI shortly afterwards because shoopufs were way radder. I mean I found a lot of things arousing back in the day, but even I wasn't so frustrated that those 1.5 seconds of clothed butt got me going. Some crazy erotic striptease it wasn't.

bloodychill posted:Including "not good" I will vouch for 13-2 being good purely on the merit of the "Snow the Time Cop" ending being a thing that game did. I will also say that LR is not good because it wasn't a follow up to the Snow the Time Cop ending.

LR not following up on Snow Time Cop merely prevents it from being "Incredible."

A Voice for Ivalice: The Localization and Voice Acting of Final Fantasy XII Now almost ten years removed, the localization team and voice actors look back on a magnificent work of game translation. quote:How big was the script compared to other games that you've worked on? quote:Who had the idea to write the dialogue in the sort of faux-Victorian dialect? I assume you did it to keep this in line with the other Ivalice-set games that you've also worked on? quote:There are all sorts of different stories about the troubled development of the game. From your end of things, are there any rumors you'd like to lay to rest? quote:Did Square Enix ever contact you at any time to translate the International Zodiac Job Edition? http://www.usgamer.net/articles/a-voice-for-ivalice-the-localization-and-voice-acting-of-final-fantasy-xii Those are just some excerpts. There is a lot information about the localization process and what made FFXII's extra special.

It definitely had the best voice localization to date for SE, weird bit rate issues aside. It's just such a strange anomaly though I guess the "start mostly from scratch" ethos that goes with FF means different games have vastly different strengths.
