JoeyJoJoJr Shabadoo posted:You quoted me but I didn't say that This was from a few pages back but I had to bring it back up here. I wish Edea had remained the main villain for the rest of the game. Also, this is the least Nomura-ish design he's ever done. In fact, it looks somewhat Amano-ish, with all those head decorations and the black feathery... thing. I'm starting to doubt Nomura had a hand in this.

They've only been hinting at it, nothing's been officially-officially announced yet. I'm hoping they'll pull a Peace Walker and stuff it in the PS3.

It wasn't ever shown in-game because the people making the game more than likely assumed the audience would be smart enough to remember, "Oh, right, healing magic," and move on from there. Oh yeah?

Mega64 posted:Mewt had the drunk dad and the dead mom. Marche didn't really have anything he wanted in the fantasy world, thus his mission to murder his friend's mom and recripple his brother. I thought the game showed not-Ramza's dad as a bum or someone who didn't have a real job or something like that during the ending. Marche really didn't have any good arguments for returning to the real world other than being a total jerk to everyone, did he?

Mega64 posted:The main problem with the story is that it's not very well-written. They don't really reinforce a strong incentive not to stay in this world, and it feels more like Marche is trying to get people out because it's what he's supposed to do, rather than because it's dangerous escapism and that they're abandoning everyone they know and love and all that stuff. Granted, the story itself is a bit low-effort, but it could've worked if better written. It would've been so easy to give any kind of motivation to Marche: - He misses his real parents and he knows everyone else will as well (sorry bout your dead mother Mewt, man up already) - A world mostly without grownups is not the right place to be - Laws suck, screw them

That loving Sned posted:I'm not convinced that Versus XIII has been cancelled, unless it's said by Square Enix directly. I don't know, it wouldn't surprise me too much considering this is SE we're talking about. When was the last time they released a current gen game that was not XIII or XIII-2? They're more interested in portable gaming and their branch studios nowadays. It'd be really stupid of them, though. I mean, what else are they going to do for a game this gen? If they do anything else at all.

But I'm not talking about FF exclusively, I'm talking about their games in general. They got a bunch of games out for the PS1, the number then went down a notch with the PS2 but they still got plenty, and now... just two I guess?

Gammatron 64 posted:It's pretty common knowledge that the Spirits Within was basically Square's big disaster and was what forced them to merge with Enix. I've seen worse movies out there, but a movie with fully CG actors was an experiment that just didn't work - most audiences probably found it stepped into Uncanny Valley. It was still better than Prometheus.

Pablo Gigante posted:I think you could make an interesting sequel to FFVI about rebuilding the world and the struggles that come along with it. Of course from Squeenix it would turn out to be ham-fisted as gently caress so maybe not. It would probably involve a new religion that pretends to be benevolent and tries to save people from falling into despair by having faith or whatever but in actuality it'd be a cult formed by the remains of the Fanatic's Tower members and they'd be trying to revive Kefka behind the scenes while everything else is going on. No need to thank me SE, I'll be waiting for my check in the mail.

Schwartzcough posted:Really, "zero resemblance"? Considering how much overlap there was in creative input between the games, they definitely all have a similar "feel." They all involve scheming and machinations going on behind the scenes. They have similar soundtracks and art style. They have a similar graphic style and I could swear there were shared sound effects, both of which are especially obvious between Vagrant Story and XII. Whether you like it or not, the characters use similar sorts of dialogue. Despite taking place in vastly different time periods, the world feels like the same place between the architecture and wildlife. The Tactics Advance games don't feel as similar, but I feel they hardly count anyway. Yes, they share the same art designer and music composer, I know there's a similar "feel" there. What I mean is that they don't feel part of the same world/country/whatever. They don't have some mythos in common, they just have the same architecture. For example, can you picture Chocobos in VS? Can you picture Sidney riding a Chocobo? I sure as hell can't. Oh, and the Advance games feel perfectly fine next to XII. Next to FFT, however, is a different story.

Leovinus posted:Does anyone have any experience with the fan-made English patch for FF12 International Zodiac Job System? I've been meaning to play through FF12 and that sounds like the version I want. Is the English patch a perfect transfer of the English subtitles to the Japanese game, or am I going to run into stuff like untranslated extra menus and formatting errors? There are some formatting errors here and there but they're so few you'll barely notice them. Other than that, it's 99% English.

Pureauthor posted:Well, to put it simply, I'd say that he's the only FF villain (from the mainline series, anyway) that continues to develop as a character throughout the course of the game. All other FF villains have their motivations/character set in stone by the time you first see them. Vayne also gets some development. The problem is that you hardly see him during the thin, thin plot the game has.

Speaking of XII, I've been playing Revenant Wings, and... good God. The "story" is fine (for a sequel/handheld RPG), but jesus Christ, whoever thought putting an RTS game on the tiny DS screen would be a good idea deserves to be punched in the face, repeatedly. There's an OK game in here that can't be played because everything is so small and so jumbled together that it's virtually impossible to target what you want on some battles.

Frozen_flame posted:What really turned me to Quina in IX is the point before reaching Terra, and the Earth Guardian scoffs at a monkey and a weird clown chef trying to defeat him. And then you can eat the fucker. Call it a stupid reason, but for the child me that was the best. The Eat mechanic I found annoying, but worth it for the smug factor. For me, it was when Quina licked the source of every life/memory on the planet and didn't give a drat.
