The moment we left Costa Del Sol is the moment we officially reached the worst part of Disc 1 and maybe the whole game. The next few places, "dungeons", and events are so goddamn boring and tedious. At least the Gold Saucer looks nice, I guess.

Hah, never saw Tifa's dialogue during the treasure scene before now. Red's was always the weirdest. He just makes a bunch of glug glug noises. I suppose because the chicks look like lunch but it's still very odd.

I always took the treasure from those drat chicks. Sure, I'll never need ten phoenix downs, but I'll never need a bunch of birds either.

Demicol posted:When do they change clothes you ask? Every time you use a save point. Who knows how much time actually passes when you're saving the game I like to imagine Cloud and Barrett just lounge around in their boxers for a few days when you use an inn. Tifa watches TV while Aeris cuts really nasty beerfarts and giggles about it. And the farts are epic, too, like her dress actually lifts up a bit. Yuffie would be more disgusted, but she's usually too busy rummaging through people's things on the sly.

I like how when you first get to Costa De Sol all the characters are meandering about doing their thing. Tifa talks to Johnny, Barret trying on the sailor outfit, Red comments on how his tail has a mind of it's own to hit the soccer ball, and Yuffie is working at a dudes shop. Never found out what Aeries does though since she's always in my party.

I've only really noticed this and it's bugging me. After a battle, it shows you what items you can get, right? And I'm pretty sure you can move the cursor onto each of the items it shows, yet there's a "take everything" option, which you always use, but no option to take just one item or not take anything (which you'd never do anyway) Why?  It seems like odd programming to give you a pointless choice like that.

I think it's there so you can see what any new items do.

Loving the LP Elentor - I just played through FFVII PC for the second time (finished it once on PSX when it came out and once on PC about 5-6 years ago) and I'm surprisingly enjoying the LP a lot more than I thought I would considering it's all fresh in my mind. Cool to see you use the different characters too; I used Cloud, Red and Tifa in my last playthrough even though I was going to try to use Yuffie, CS or Cid since I've never used them much (even if they're cool enough characters).

So a few days ago, I watched Advent Children Complete. I watched the vanilla release a few years ago and barely remembered a thing and now I know why: this movie is forgettable as gently caress. Some nice fight scenes, but nothing of actual substance happened. Wait, one thing happened: The Turks were loving awesome and became my favorite characters in all of FF7. They're one of the few characters that survived the Great Characterization Purge of the Compilation. And I don't remember much of vanilla AC as opposed to Complete, but I think I remember in the vanilla release, Sephiroth's hair looked much shittier.  Yeah, like that. Like he had just gotten out of the shower. They must have fixed up his model in Complete because it looks a lot more like his hair in the original game and I really appreciate that.

I don't want to stop the bashing on FF7AC (it's always fun) but Reno's already a comic relief and light-hearted character in FF7, only not to the same extent. There's an upcoming scene that shows that well. Which still doesn't make any sense given he's a mass-murderer and possibly the man with the highest frag count in the whole game. Or in the recorded history of the game world.

And Barret, who provides a good deal of comic relief for the hero side, committed mass murder by blowing up a reactor in the middle of a densely populated area. Granted, Reno killed more, but that doesn't mean Barret should get a free ride.

Watching that beach scene made my jaw drop. I'm shocked to just now learn that Square used the clip of waves crashing on the beach in both games. All they changed was the islands out in the distance vs empty horizon, change the zoom (Chrono Cross is closer to the water), and change the color over the scene.

Chapter 30 - VEGAS, BABE! We're about to begin a fascinating journey to discover why is Barret so loving insane.  Obviously by fascinating I mean boring. I sincerely think this is the boringest part of the game.  But it's worth getting through it because as soon as we do we're off to Gold Saucer, FF7's version of a Mall.  Ah, Corel. Look at how happy these Legos are.  So here's the deal - Shinra wanted to build a Reactor in Corel. Corel's main form of economy and energy was coal. Of course, this didn't suit very well and this fella named Dyne was against it.  In a surprising reversal of roles, Barret is actually being progressist and defending Mako against coal. Notice how he has two arms.  And Scarlet is being Scarlet.  Yes, at some point Barret was a responsible husband. He also doesn't sound so utterly stupid as he is nowadays, but maybe I'm wrong.  Yes Dyne. If we say no they're gonna invade and burn everything.  Oh.   They did it anyway.    The more I think about it, the more Barret sounds like a comic book villain.  Just imagine Barret brooding with a green or blue light coming from behind going all "I will destroy them myself... with the tools they gave me."  You know, I never got the bolding in comic book text. It always seems to me like they're bolding the least interesting or important words in the sentence.  "They think I destroyed a Reactor... then so be it. That's how I will exact my... vengeance."  Oh yes.  Shut up Barret we don't care.  Thank you Yuffie.  Ohh yess.  We're going to the   Just kidding, we're still going to Gold Saucer. Gold Saucer is the craziest looking place in the game.  It's like this massive Theme Park/Mall that resembles a giant tree with mushrooms growing out of their branches.  It's a place where magic happens and it's fun for the whole family.  Ages 8-80.  Gold Saucer also has a drat cheerful music, mind that. It's very good and suits the place perfectly.  I'd pay a lot to visit a place like this.  And I would have to. Because this place is loving EXPENSIVE. You have to pay for everything.   Sadly we don't have money to buy the lifetime pass, but that's not a big deal. We only need the single pass for now.  Gold Saucer has its own currency. You can play minigames (which cost Gil to play) to make GP, then spend GP on stuff, like that Save Point.    Yeah screw you Barret. We're gonna have fun whether you want it or not.   She was trying to help him, how is that harsh    I love the dynamics between the characters. How Aeris acts like she can handle anything.   But seriously, Barret freaking out is just too loving funny.  With that Barret leaves by jumping into the rainbow-colored hole. I'm sure there's a lot of horrible metaphors we can make out of this, but it's also time to explain how Gold Saucer works.  There are 7 areas in Gold Saucer. We're gonna explore every single one of them.  Basically each area is a Saucer, and when you jump into one of these holes I would imagine that you travel inside one of the branches toward the destination. You can go anywhere from any of the 7 Saucers, so transportation is pretty good.  The first Square we go to is the Event Square. Unfortunately there's nothing happening at the moment. Think of it like a theatre.   Next we go to the Speed Square, where we're stopped yet again by a big Macho.       The great thing about JRPGs is that the plot comes to you.  Of course we can guess who the "boy" is, right? The question is: What the gently caress is wrong with Sephiroth? First, he walks out of the ocean with Gold tickets. Second, he stops by a Theme Park to ask shirtless dudes about a Black Materia.   We also need to find out what the hell is it with the tattoos.  Ever since I watched Game of Thrones, I imagine this guy speaking like Syrio Forel, boy.  The Speed Square is an On-Rails minigame. It's actually quite fun but it's frustratingly hard, and mostly a game of memorization as the Johnny look-alike here is saying.  Unfortunately we don't have 10 GP. Something that needs to be addressed. Let's go to the Wonder Square.  Oh, no.  Oooh, no.   Jessie: Sir, we're detecting an anomaly. Jessie: I don't think I can hold it much longer, sir.    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo    WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT CLOUD HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID    IT'S HOCUM   God drat it.   This is the only appropriate response for a cat with a crown sitting on a toy Moggle.   HOW CAN LOSING SOMETHING DEAR BE GOOD.  How does it even work anyway? What IS THIS THING?   Wait this doesn't make any sense what the hell  Yes Cloud listen to her.   And with that, he joins the party. Don't ask. Next Time: More Squares! Less Enyx! poo poo gets real! Yuffie is still the character saying what we think out loud.

Yeah, that always bugged me. I can buy Barret beating himself up for endorsing Shinra and blaming himself for the town's destruction- by why the gently caress does EVERYONE in Corel act like it's all his fault, when the only person opposed to the reactor was Dyne? I also enjoy how Barret knows Shinra will retaliate with indiscriminate mass murder to acts of terrorism, so he immediately starts blowing up reactors. I guess his home town getting burned down wasn't enough, and he felt the need to goad Shinra to kill everyone in Midgar.
