Azure_Horizon posted:I've seen people claim that IX's soundtrack is weak as hell. Of course, they're the same type of person who dislikes IX overall... These are the same people who jerked off to Dirge of Cerberus and FFX-onwards. These people can safely be ignored until we can cart them off to the reeducation camps.

Tidus was such a punchable little bastard. In fact, there wasn't a likable character in that entire game. Sure, its mechanics lent it to being breakable in so many ways... but why would you want to? Also, what the gently caress were they thinking when they came up with Drownball?

You're funnier than Leovinus in that you seem to actually update and you're probably not going to abandon the LP midway (give or take a few hours of playtime) through.

dumb brunette posted:I always presumed the reactors were really loving tall and they weren't built on top of the plate so much as the outer plate "hooks into" them at about midway up. Not sure if that shot of the edge of Midgar disproves that or not. Nowadays, anyone who thinks of FF7 just thinks about the post-FF7 stuff where Cloud is basically a blonde Squall. I'm happy about this LP because it made me remember that FF7 was pretty drat good before the fandom demanded that it become emo whiny pseudo-psychological bullshit.

Dauntasa posted:I think it's important to remember that FF8 existed, so that history may never repeat itself, and there will never be another FF quite that bad. I just cannot think of a single redeeming feature of that horrible, horrible game. I bought it from a friend for five bucks and never have I been so ripped off in my life. Now hold on, I do remember that one of Laguna's limit breaks was a Hollywood-style machinegun firing from a rope attached to nothing, and that his fat friend hurled a goddamned giant anchor at people. Also, it gave us Leovinus making fun of how lovely it was, which is okay too. Landwhale posted:Triple Triad. Yes, jorts, a furry coat, a latex minidress, and BUCKLES. loving. EVERYWHERE.

I have a multi-paragraph rant ready to be unleashed but goddammit I'm just going to let it go because there is far too much hostility to be unleashed on what's been a drat good LP so far. Seriously, FF7's a decent game and Elentor's doing a drat good job of showing it off. Kaboom Dragoon posted:loving finally, someone who hates Triple Triad! Everyone acts like it was the greatest thing in the history of gaming. It was probably the first time I never finished a sidequest, simply because it was so loving dull. And I got all the Celestial Weapons in FFX. Triple Triad -- hell, most minigames in RPGs -- is a loving waste of time and developer effort. If I wanted to play a goddamned card game, then I'd play another game and not some clumsily-inserted lovely card game simulation. LOOKING AT YOU, FABLE II AND FABLE III.

kalonZombie posted:In older editions of DnD, and even with some of the beefier attacks in 4e, enemies typically got saves against spells, but even if they did make it, they still got half damage. Mainly because "you try outrunning lightning" and "holy poo poo that was an explosion of fire". Higher level rogues tend to ignore that poo poo completely though. I know that WoW uses a completely different standard for magic, though -- magic users more than anyone have to stack their respective accuracy stats or else their spells will miss more often then not. Surprised the hell out of me back in the day as I was still fresh from console RPGs.

Elentor posted:3) I hate - and I really do - to say that, but as far as game movies go, FF7AC was pretty faithful. I'll even go one step further and say it was much more faithful than the rest of the EU. Sure, the characters' personalities were way off, but everything else was spot on. The characters looked the same and their design was a reasonable, acceptable progression of what you'd expect. Barret no longer looked like Mr.T and instead had his own "look". Barret's redesign was the worst part of that loving movie. And that includes the SPOILERS SPOILERS and the SPOILER parts. gently caress Advent Children. gently caress everything that has to do with FF7 after FF7.

FreezingInferno posted:All I know is I bought the thing for $17.99 in like 2006 and have only watched it all the way through twice. The last time I tried I got bored ten minutes in, took it out, and put in The Hunt For Red October. I bought it, watched about thirty minutes of it, then kept it around for a year or so until a friend came over and asked to borrow it. I told him to keep it, that he'd enjoy it far more than me since he probably fantasizes about blowing Nomura. I paid 5 bucks for the DVD from Walmart. I felt like they overcharged me by 6 bucks.

Woozy posted:Cloud was a borderline silent protagonist for much of the game for the same reason Crono was: you're supposed to be able to plug your own thoughts into the drama. This is why boring people hate Cloud and we cool people dig him. I also love his snarky mannerisms, and that he isn't always a jerk. He's your basic normal average every day guy who just happen to got full-on blasted in the face with magical dead people radiation. In AC, however, he became a less-interesting Squall. And Squall wasn't interesting to begin with.

Man, I can't wait until the next update. While I'm not one to rush an LPer -- they are giving us free entertainment and we oughtta be grateful for it -- I'd very much like this thread to return to "Let's Play Final Fantasy VII!" and take the 'sperg back to the deep, dank hellhole from which it came. Although FFXIII-2 looks exactly like more of Squareenix's "style over substance" bullshit and the designs look as lovely as they have been since FF8.

Woozy posted:I like to like think that the low-poly models are a direct throwback to the SNES days. They look like literal 3D translations of the FFIV sprites. That's what I thought as well! I actually wish they'd just made the battle models the same as the overworld models, and then make both more detailed. The transition from the SD overworld model to super-realistic (for those days) battle one was a bit jarring to say the least.
