I hope KH3 has a few scenes of Aerith throwing down and trading blows against Sephiroth. She deserves it, and Cloud's been hogging the dude for at least two games now.

Lightning Returns PC: yea or nay? I've been interested in it since it came out on console, but I'm hearing negative things about the quality of the port.

It's running super smooth for me, and I have an i3-3.4ghz/650 gtx. Steam community forums are the most master-race of master-race that would make totalbiscuit go "that's too much."

The complaints seem to be, aside from some stupid stuff like not properly recognizing keyboard/controller swapping, that it limits itself to 1080p and 60 FPS so for a lot of people it should be more than playable.

And even if there's some issues, Square did a good job of cleaning up the PC port of XIII right after it was released. So if there are some kinks they'll probably iron them out soon.

FF13-1 is still a poo poo port that requires you to turn off 2 out of 4 cores to stop frame-skipping.

One of the final boss's attacks hits you before the attack visually connects now, which didn't happen in the console versions.

The country boy thing reminds me of that bit on Crisis Core where Zack first meets Cloud and they instantly hit it off by poo poo-talking each other's hick hometowns. That game could've been pretty great all around if not for Gackt.

I remember people swearing up and down that the time limit has no real meaning since you can freeze time all you want, so I'll actually try and do everything in the game my first run. The most important question is though, how can I put stupid poo poo on Lightning? I've been looking for the option but can't find it.

Attitude Indicator posted:CC did surprisingly good with the known characters, sephiroth and cloud both act like they should prior to ff7. Sephiroth in Crisis Core is a legitimately good character. He's kind of an uptight dick but he shows humanity and kindness and you can legitimately understand why Zack thought they were friends before everything went to poo poo.

Yeah, getting full completion on your first run is trivial if you take advantage of Chronostasis and make sure not to screw up any of the perma-fail quests (there's only two or three, and they're very specific about their fail states - basically, if someone tells you to show up at a certain time, be there).

pro tip for LR though: three star quests almost always give you new unique outfits, so you can prioritize them to make the other stuff easier. some of them require tough boss fights but others are just fetch quests so they're not a big deal to do quickly

two star quests usually give you unique hats or accesories which is its own reward

Is lightning returns any good? I avoided the other two XIII games because they looked horribly linear and boring (and the battle system looked awful). In fact, I've not even played a FF game since 10 now that I think about it, except for a couple of hours in XII before losing interest.

CC is pretty great all around. The characters are all, like, themselves, instead of people's images of them. Sephiroth is actually a relatable hero guy before he loses his mind and murders the entire town and later you have two duels with him. Genesis' poo poo isn't that bad, and in the end when he's cured by the Lifestream and he and Zack are just chilling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb6MF0IfsvQunder the apple tree he's the most likable guy.

The game is unarguably janky and the plot is naff but it has a sense of humor, does some interesting things and it's very different in design from the first two games. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3608747 I wrote the OP for a (now closed) thread if you want a lengthier opinion.

Super Ninja Fish posted:Lie? He hated himself so much and was so insecure that he came up with a fake identity. Tifa does have to go through his mind at one point and convince him she cared him, the real Cloud, and that he wasn't worthless. Even at the end, he's still too awkward to tell Tifa how he felt about her. So Tifa had to give her "Words aren't the only thing you can use. You can use your penis." talk to get him to make a move. The real Cloud ends up learning from some of that allowing him to be confident among his new friends, vis a vis let's mosey.

It still had the problem of Aerith being bland perfectly perfect too good for this sinful earth, from what I remember. While in the actual game she had, like, a personality.

She still had a playful personality. They just played up the romance angle a bit. Fun fact: The Japanese actress for Aerith is married to the Japanese actor for Zack. So at least in the Japanese version they actually do a real good job of sounding like a couple flirting with each other for obvious reasons.

ImpAtom posted:He goes catatonic because he gets massively poisoned not because he's super-emo. And of course, there's the fact that while FF7 was textboxes galore, their new productions "have to" be fully animated and voice acted. How they go about direction, both in visuals and acting will be crucial to the remake's tone, even if they follow the source closely in a literal manner.

Super Ninja Fish posted:Lie? He hated himself so much and was so insecure that he came up with a fake identity. His insecurity was a part of his FFVII self but the real reason he was like that was because Hojo's mad experiments had rendered him a drooling, barely coherent and alive mess. You can see it when Tifa finds him in the station. He's still out of it but there are flashes and sound effects that basically confirm what Sephiroth says, to an extent. The Jenova Cells in Cloud reacted to Tifa's presence and glued his mind back together so he could function. Now, these being hostile alien cells, they did a shoddy job, and the recreated Cloud wasn't exactly the genuine article, but it was most certainly not all Cloud's fault. It wasn't just like he said "gee, I'm such a failure, I'll make pretend I was in SOLDIER."
