Yeah, but which is better, Citizen Kane or Moby Dick???

Moby Dick is the Citizen Kane of books.

Cao Ni Ma posted:

Most boss fight chambers are locked in a way that the players cant engage the bosses before you finish watching a cutscene. This might not be the case for the repeatable boss ones but the big story ones work like this. So dont be afraid to sit back and watch story scenes in dungeons.

That is not at all true.

You can watch the cutscenes again in your inn room if you end up with speedrunning assholes.

Cao Ni Ma posted:

No, I've seen it. In dungeons like Totorak and Stone Vigil you will be physically incapable of going to the boss area while someone is watching the story cutscenes. There will be a barrier that prevents players from starting the encounter.

Neither of those are "big story dungeons." You can and will have assholes lock you out of the boss fights for the last two dungeons in the story if you watch cutscenes like a normal person.

I was thinking of playing it via psp. If the game is running from a memory card that should make the loading times quicker...right? I don't have access to purchase the DS version for two months.

Why even ask us for recommendations if you're just going to keep saying "But I want to play the worst one...."?

That... really isn't how it works in FFVIII. Like of all the excuses for the bad writing "they're thin and poorly developed because they're losing their memories" doesn't make sense in OR out of the story.

No, they're thin and poorly developed because, by equipping GFs over the course of the game, you the viewer lost your memory of their development. FF8 is very meta.

Have you? Primals are formed by belief (prayer, whatevs), and sustained by aether. They may be worshipped as gods, but until Hydaelyn, the Twelve, and Zodiark are explicitly also called primals, they are not gods.

The Twelve have been explicitly called primals multiple times. Go do Coil scrub.

Gologle posted:

I don't remember that, but in that case, it still leaves Hydaelyn and FFXII's best summon. Watch everything divine be primals. Watch Midgardsormr be a primal despite the staff saying he's not. Watch the protagonist turn out to be a primal of the original heroes fused together and the warrior of darkness turn out to be their bad sides fused together. And when we fight in the next expansion we become Goku.

Do you actually play FF14? You don't seem to understand any of the words you're using.

That skill owned against Dycedarg's older brother. Owned the poo poo out of that fucker.

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

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.

Writing moms is tough.
