It's amazing how much it replicates that feeling of playing LttP. Seriously felt like a loving kid again. Alternatively, get some medication for depression.

I do have a 3DS. That's how I played Bravely Default. I just want Lightning to return to PC so I can mod her as Kain from FF4 and pretend that Kain is saving the world from a giant moon man riding his moon ship in between FF4 and FF4: The Golden Girls.

Mega64 posted:My issue with a lot of video game stories is poor execution. You can write a pretty complex and intricate story with a lot of potential to it, but if you gently caress up the execution then it's pretty much a waste. Just look at Fallout 4 and how, despite the story having potential (I genuinely liked the story up until a certain point), ends up being poo poo when compared to, say, a game where a guy finds redemption thanks to his dad Space Jesus and ends up riding a space whale to the moon to meet his moon uncle so they can team up to beat up a giant robot controlled by the main character's brother who was brainwashed by another moon man. The latter is loving ridiculous in concept but is still presented in a way that is engaging enough to at the very least not piss you off over what could have been. It's much much easier to write character arcs in stories where the player has little to no impact vs character arcs where your character can shoot a major character as soon as they appear and then eat them,

Then I'll mod the game to dress up as Ceodore. EDIT: Wait, no, with the advances in PC modding technology, we can go further. We can go much further. I'll commission a Harry Dresden mod. Leave the voices intact though, Lightning is not a slut like Commander Shepherd.

I had a PS4 for a while and got a hankering to play LR. Didn't realize there was no way to play it on the PS4 and was all  Looking forward to the Steam version so I can finish it this time.

ImpAtom posted:It's much much easier to write character arcs in stories where the player has little to no impact vs character arcs where your character can shoot a major character as soon as they appear and then eat them, As you pointed out, New Vegas was actually better about it than FO4. I think they did it by dedicating a lot of time to designing and developing game factions and associated characters while tightening up the location and scenario direction so that most locations tied to factions and their quests. FO4 is a lot looser. I'm actually curious how SE is approaching this since FF15 is set to be open world to a fair extent but expectation amongst players is a strong story narrative and developed character arcs that have become the signature of the series.

FO4 is a lot looser. It will probably be like FFXII or Dragon Age Inquisition where you have areas segmented into MMO-esq zones that open up as you progress through the story. So 'oh no, the car broke down and we can't cross into the next zone on foot' followed by 'oh no, a huge boulder is blocking the road that leads to the next zone,' and 'oh no, an eighteen vehicle pileup is blocking the highway and the prom is tomorrow!' You can go back to previously unlocked areas and do sidequests/hunts in them. I think that's the best way to balance the market's expectations and what the development team can actually pull off.

At the top of the tower, you encounter Yeul again, and she tells you that she believes in you, even though you changing the future will kill her. You enter a VR space and fight Adam (the rogue Fal'Cie), but eventually you reach the point where you can't kill him because he regenerates. Serah, thinking outside the box, yells at Hope through time and space causing him to abandon the Fal'Cie plan and destroying Adam because he was never created.

I dunno, pretty sure Chrono Cross only gets confusing at the very, very end. From what I hear, Wild Arms 2 might be what you're looking for in terms of WTF.

Well, the main villain of that game is a sentient parallel universe, the people in that game are probably crazier than in FFVII and your boss has sex with his sister.  That said it also only ramps up the crazy on the second disc and a pretty major reason to why it all feels like such a strange fever dream is the infamous translation.

That last line is actually great, but yeah WA2 is weird as hell. Wild ARMS is still pretty good, if you skip the remake.

I'm thinking of buying Type-0 of the S-E store, but it doesn't explain what they mean by "PC download". Do you get a file like with GOG or do you need to use some external service like with GMG?

Speaking of Type-0, does it still come with the FFXV demo? Bought a copy on Amazon so it hasn't arrived yet, but I assume by this point it doesn't.

A new copy does, but i'm p sure it might just be first print copies. It's weird because I think someone reported a while ago they got a copy of the game well after it was released and it still had it.
