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.

This has to be a common word being obviously mistranslated and nobody giving a gently caress; there's another infamous case of it in FFT with "Bracelet" being how the game consistently translates abilities that should be "Breath". So dragons use Fire Bracelet and Ice Bracelet, and the assassin twins use Stop Bracelet which makes zero loving sense because it's instant KO and not Stop, until you realize what "bracelet" is supposed to be and that they're literally casting "Stop Breath".

It's been probably 12 years since I played fft all the way through, but I definitely didn't know why delita was doing half the things he did in the game.

You aren't even a party to all the details of it since you aren't playing as him but basically the gist is that he's double and triple crossing both sides of the Lion's War and creating anarchy to enable his own political ascension because he's got a chip on his shoulder. Think Littlefinger from GoT except he's a knight and battlefield commander instead of a pimp.

If you have a modded psp or you play it on an emu, you can patch the slowdown out of WotL with a tiny patch. It's something hilarious like three memory offsets changed and the slowdown vanishes.

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.

I played through it last year on my psp and it was fine, just a couple of seconds of slowdown for even big spells.

I bought it to replay on my PSTV and it turns out that for "reasons" S-E have decided that I can't play it on PSTV because I'm in Europe. Annoyingly, all my PSX FF games are listed as not being compatible with the PSTV much like WotL. but work just fine.

Yes but he's nowhere near as bad as Tidus's mom.

I still can't get over the fact no one's mom has a name in the game.
Of the three parent sets that matter:
We know Jecht is Tidus' dad but then there's Tidus' Mom.
Braska is Yuna's dad and then there's Yuna's Mom or I guess Cid's Sister.
And finally we have Jyscal Guado and Seymour's Mom.

It really bugs me. I wonder if Nojima was trying to send some sort of message, given that #1 and #3 were both absolutely terrible. None of the other moms in other FF games written by him have been particularly good, either. I guess Cloud's mom was okay, for the one scene with her where she has about three lines. No wait, there was Elmyra, Aerith's adopted mother, who I don't think anyone ever told that her daughter was dead.

No, WotL is not Shakespearean, it's not trying to be Shakespearean.

Hope's mom was okay. Rosa's mom seemed okay, iirc. Edea was a good mom before and after she became possessed.

It's really a crime that WOTL cut Dycedarg's elder brother. He was the best character in the game.

Hmm, I remember dialog where if you go back and talk to her, she says "you don't have to tell me, I already know. I could feel it when Aeris returned to the earth" or something like that.

Assuming I ever get around to playing FF Tactics, how does it compare to FFVII's translation? Because I have no problem with FFVII's translation for the most part.

Then again, I have a hard time discerning if this is nostalgia of if I just sincerely enjoy lines like "golden shiny wire of hope.' But if it is nostalgia I might hate a anew game (to me) like Tactics.

I liked the trailer. The lack of full-blown gameplay and new areas is a little disappointing, but I appreciated that they decided to focus on something more close and personal. So many games have super-actiony trailers, so I can't fault them for going in a different direction.

We've got the ATR later as well. I'll be staying up for that.

In a matter of days, the Kingdom of Lucis is to sign an armistice, ending a long and bitter conflict with Niflheim. Ahead of the ceremony, Prince Noctis, heir to the Lucian throne, sets forth from his homeland to formalize the union of states through his marriage to the Lady Lunafreya of the imperial province of Tenebrae.

The offer of peace, however, is no more than a ruse to lower the Lucian shield, and the imperial army takes the crown city and its sacred crystal in one fell swoop. En route to his destination, Noctis is shocked to learn that he, his father the king, and his betrothed are believed dead.

Overnight, the dream of peace has faded into a distant memory. His world crumbling around him, Noctis has naught but his resolve and his loyal companions to see him through the trials to come.
