Epi Lepi posted:Is it true they're doing an HD remake of X? I mean, I liked that game a lot, but I can't imagine there's a huge demand for a remake. It's the third best selling game Square-Enix ever made. That's probably a bit of an incentive for a HD cash-in...

Endorph posted:Not to mention, considering his personality Kuja's design was probably at least sort of meant to be garish. Kuja becomes an amazing character if you assume he's supposed to be an '80s glam rocker and read all his lines as Freddie Mercury.

Am I alone in just not liking Amano's character designs? Like at all. I really like the guy's artwork and he's got a great style. But most of his actual character designs are like someone took a pastel, bead filled messy poo poo. Most of the old game's character designs probably benefited a ton from having his designs as a base for the more cartoony sprites and not direct translations. Even if Nomura is terrible and needs to get ejected from touching the series, I'm pretty glad Amano has been pretty well dropped outside logo art since his stuff would look awful in 3D. Even the Nomura filtered Dissidia renders of old characters look pretty godawful. I just don't get all the worshiping of his character designs.

ImpAtom posted:FFXIII doesn't have good writing to begin with but everything I've seen from FFXIII's translation appears overly-literal and stilted. It's 'translated' but with no effort made beyond that, so things that really should have been altered or clarified or cleaned up are not. It's like it was translated by a robot. It also appears to have been voiced directed by a robot whose job was "mimic the Japanese direction exactly" which is the stupidest possible voice direction in the history of mankind. I don't know. Final Fantasy X's dubbing directions of "make the dialogue match the character's mouth NO MATTER WHAT" still seems a forerunner in terrible voice acting direction. That said, I don't think any better localized a translation would make the game's writing come off any less lovely or presented any less hamfisted.

Happy Blue Cow posted:If someone knows, I'd appreciate an explanation behind the final events with Cid Raines in FF13. I think the Space Pope revived him (I guess the machine god dudes can undue death/crystal freezing whenever it is plot convenient) to act as the new figurehead for the human government because...
