you do no one any good using it to describe entirely mild human contact in loving video game.

FF14 is decidedly not a loving type of video game, although we all know the Manderville family does, in fact, gently caress

EDIT: I've probably had worse new page snipes, but this is one of the more terrible ones

I thought FF14 was like, omega-horny? Don't all the NPCs want to jump your/each other's bones every 2 seconds?

That’s significantly overstated, tbh. There are a few horny npcs, but almost all of the “x character wants to jump my bones” is wishful thinking on the player’s part.

Is there an opposite of manic pixie dream girl? Because there's something like that going on for the entire fan base to pick Y'shtola as their waifu when she shows up for 3 quests an expansion to stand around going "I'm smart" while wearing trash bags.

She's a catgirl. That's the beginning and end of it. There is no shortage of people who obsess over catgirls.

The ASt guild being a bunch of horny nerd losers is perhaps the most human bit of writing in the game. They're just kind of sadly horny. Damned by fate...

Agents are GO!
Dec 29, 2004

So I was digging through some old DVDs I burned like 15 years ago, and I finally found my copy of the Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children joke subtitles. Just watched about 20 minutes of it, and I still find them funny, in a early-2000s humor sort of way. Some of the lines in here have stuck with me for going on 20 years ("Please, God, let me hear everyone as bees") so I hope other people like them as much as I do.


Anyhow, here they are, if anybody else wanted to watch them. Just put on the original version of FF7AC (not the bluray) in MPC, probably set the language to Japanese, and then go to the subtitle menu and load these.



Edit: Just a quick edit to note that I didn't create these, I found them online back when FF7AC was new.

I'm halfway through Shadowbringers (3/5 on known macguffins arrowed in at least one face each) and it lives up to the hype, I think. Nothing subversive or revolutionary but the style of story the game has been telling this whole time executed very well. Like most things if it aint your jam ShB will not make it your jam, but if you like jam then... I forget where I'm going with this. I'm gonna go have some jam.
