Zell was one of my first crushes. And is probably the only reason I bothered to finish this game.

I agree. This game doesn't feel like a Final Fantasy. It was a bold attempt to take the series in a new direction. I mean, it failed on several fronts, but they could have given it another name and not missed a beat. And comparing it to former games when it's incredibly obvious when the designers wanted to distance themselves from the past games (in all but name) makes it harder to judge on its merits.

SeeD stands for "See Delights" because when you're a mercenary in a fantasy setting you see delightful things like burnt or frozen corpses and organs on the outside of people's bodies. Duh.

One thing that really bugged me about this game is that 95% of the character development for anyone who isn't Squall or the female lead is totally and completely optional. One the one hand, it makes sense because most of the cast is mercenaries and revealing personal stuff isn't exactly professional, but it does make it harder to relate to them. And the same goes for major plot points. If you go through the game and talk only to required NPC's and don't examine every console or info dump you find, you leave the game not knowing what the hell happened. Well, to a greater extent than you do if you DO do that.

There's "flawed", and then there's "Oh my god you are such a colossal gently caress-up that everything you touch turns to poo poo you loving spoiled princess-rear end bitch" Rinoa falls under one of those.

I get that it's 100% a gameplay thing, but you'd think Zell would be a little concerned when two of his companions wake up and all of a sudden they're holding they're guts inside with their hands.

LordAba posted:"I have to keep my daughter safe!" Of everything that is so terrible about this scene, THAT is what bugs me the most. He's gonna lock her in, leaves the room, and doesn't close the door behind him? And she realizes that he's magically gonna lock it and gets out without him noticing? Was this scene any clearer in the Japanese version about that?

I went with Quistis and Zell to Balamb and sent Rinoa to the missile base in the hopes that a missile turns around and hits her in the face.

We took care of the Sorceress and Rinoa is dead. Happy ending for all! It's weird that they put the ending on it's own disc though. And that the final boss gives you a GF. There must be a New Game Plus

And for a place so big, there's really not a lot to do there. Although out of the Final Fantasy games I've played, I've played VIII the least by far, so I could very well be missing something. As far as I know, there's only one other thing you don't have access to yet.

Mans posted:there's no good sewer levels in any game Final Fantasy VII's wasn't bad. But then again it was literally one screen. And Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete's sewer was standard fair for that game. Earthbound's wasn't horrible either. Paper Mario. Yes, I'm sitting here racking my brains because I'm bored. For my money though, the worst offenders are Beyond the Beyond (but that's the worst offender on like 18 different levels anyways), Xenogears, and Breath of Fire II (mostly because it's yet another huge step up in difficulty for random encounters)

It would have been so easy to let Rinoa drift off and annoy some kind of alien species. C'mon Squall, take one for the team.

I think if you kill the Propogators enough outside of the intended way, they disappear on their own. I remember that happening when I was farming stones for -aga spells in my first playthrough.

I really don't like how much this game forces you to connect the dots to get a full picture. It's one thing to leave a few details out that are filled in somehow later (either through NPC's, sidequests, or whatever), but this game just leaves out so much. Forced exploration of optional areas or delving deep into archives to get even a basic understanding of the plot is just bad design.

Malboro's were a huge shock for me. Before this game, the only experience I had with them was in Final Fantasy IV. Bad Breath is pretty harmless in that game, since it's single target, and inflicts EVERYTHING on it. That includes Pig, Toad, and Mini, which makes any unit completely useless...even if they were awake. It was essentially a Sleep spell with useless additions. And in this game, they're a death sentence if you're not properly prepared.
