I was just thinking how cool and good FF6 is but also there should be more Siegfried and Ultros in the game. Omg awful snipe. I'll be honest my GameCube is still hooked up solely so I can play FF6 Advance on my game boy player on a TV.

Ultros should really just be a series staple that constantly comes to make weird double entendres and be goofy in general.

Eh, I'm fine with him being an occasional thing. It's like Gilgamesh, he's great, but I wouldn't want him in every game.

I was talking with my friend about Amano's artwork, and the disparity between his art and characters' spritework came up. When it comes to characters like Lenna/Faris/Terra, do people prefer the blondes of Amano, or the more varied hair colors of the sprites?

Varied Haircolours.

Sprite Galuf has a sweet beard. Amano Galuf has no beard. Pretty obvious who the winner is.

On the other hand, Amano Sabin is shirtless, so that is a point in his favour.

Galuf is a true hero, and as such, deserves a glorious beard, much like Guan Yu, or even Cid from FFIV.

God drat, espers really don't gently caress around in FFXII Struggle for Freedom I'm even playing on the "easier" version of the mod (the 12-jobs version lets your characters have more HP than they would if you went for the character-specific Struggle/Freedom boards) and I still almost got my rear end beat by Adrammelech at an even level with him. In base TZA I'm used to taking that idiot out at like half his level but he's a real bastard in SFF. Honestly it kinda rules having to switch up gambits on the fly and be constantly improvising in FFXII of all games.

Draga posted:Amano Faris is rad as hell. This is a great point, the Amano Faris with the black overcoat is rad as gently caress, and I'm with you on that one. I think I prefer pink bob-cut Lenna to Amano!Lenna, but I'm even on the Galuf designs. The old man beard is respectable, but the flattop/moustache combo Amano gave Galuf is kind of baller in its own right. And yeah, green hair Terra just feels better to me, especially with her red and pink outfit, I appreciate having that cooler color in her palette. If I had to argue for blonde Terra though, I think there'd be something cute in having her match Celes in phenotype as well as thematics.

Green hair terra is a solid choice because she’s a loving weirdo. I wish her in-game esper form Sprite looked more like the Amano artwork though, shits gnarly

Elephant Ambush posted:WTF Yes and her whole deal is "I got taken in by pirates and I didn't want to be the only woman on a pirate ship so I had to pretend I was a dude." It would then be a little weird for her to look really feminine. Then again it kind of seems like at least some of the pirates already know she's a woman (or at least are questioning their sexuality) so who knows.

Basically the pirates suspect Faris is a woman, and accept her as their leader because they respect her fighting ability

Faris' whole thing was that she was so pretty that even cross-dressing as a man her general appearance would be what we consider in modern times to be an androgynous bishie guy

When it comes to characters like Lenna/Faris/Terra, do people prefer the blondes of Amano, or the more varied hair colors of the sprites? It all came down to making sure you could identify who each sprite was on screen. FF5 was a case of being impossible to show Lenna and Faris as designed using the 2x2 format of the field sprites in the original release. The original rough sketches of the Chibi models were closer to the Amano art, but they kept changing to match design limitations. From FFV Ultimania: ![]() Blonde Sprite Terra was a thing, until they started playtesting. Easily confused with Celes. They tried going with the short hair Amano art first (pretty Tidus/Vaan-like), then decided on the original sprite with green hair.

Short haired blonde Terra is pretty cool actually I like green haired Terra more though because she’s supposed to be hosed up and weird and alien because she is hosed, weird, and alien FF6 WHEN

Huh, I'd never really thought about it before, but FF as a series is usually pretty good about sticking to fairly realistic hair colors for its human characters, isn't it? Also almost all of the exceptions are pink/purple haired women. ![]()

They've managed to introduce even more playable characters, but they've had to reduce party size to two, and remove the accent generator so everyone has exactly the same lines.
