No one ever takes a bath. I guess in most you can imagine there is off screen time on the world map or something where characters do the laundry and all that. FF13-1 though is a movie-like experience and you follow these characters along never taking a shower and probably sweating like crazy. In FFX you get in the water regularly and that is fine. This isn't a fetish thing either poo poo is just gross. I know it's one of those "well do you want to SEE your characters use the bathroom?" kind of things, but they could at least imply why everyone either smells rosy fresh or doesn't.

Same with movies and TV. If art imitates life and such then we should see characters clipping their toenails and popping zits on their rear end in complete awkward silence.

You say this, but just you wait until a Metal Gear Solid game goes there. Taking bets on Phantom Pain having this.

Final Fantasy 6 has toilets, but only if you're a privileged imperial citizen. In the dystopian future, only Kefka has toilets.

You also run across pools in caves and stuff that refill your meters so I guess you can assume those are baths in 2D pixel land

In most games based in a lower fantasy world it's safe to assume the characters generally dont bathe or shower often. However, the smell would be "normal" to them and doesn't call for comment. In more overtly high tech settings such as Final Fantasy: Lightning Returns I agree that we should see all the characters showering. Unfortunately Ellen Page has done her best to scare developers off of it. It's sad when the industry bows to censorship like that but what can the common gamer really do?

except in ff12, where the game makes you sell a bunch of wacky monster pieces for gil for absolutely no goddamn reason, and you realize it was better when they just unrealistically rewarded you the money for killing the monster.

Even the soundtrack was pretty bland

The Sharmat posted:my immersion yeah. like the selling monster parts thing could have actually been cool if the weird rewards system had been a little more expansive and transparent. it's kind of cool that the game plays itself for a lot of the grindier parts, but they saw it as an excuse to make everything grindy. also, a lot of the best weapons are rare drops from enemies that only appear on one screen like one our of every ten times you walk through it. i think the soundtrack is just because uematsu didn't do it though.

I remember being amazed the first time I played FFXII that they used the evil twin brother plot unironically that game had a lot of weird decisions. still not as weird as Cloud getting raped by a gang of gay men in Disc 1 of FF7 though

it's like a manual for how NOT to introduce someone to your fantasy world. I don't envy the translators also lol at a dude in the huge-rear end opening cutscene actually taking advantage of the gaping hole in the anime protagonist's armor to shoot him in the throat

I like how the plots some weird super dense game of thrones stuff & the main characters are a pair of 12 year old children who don't affect it in any way and just wander around with everyone else for no real reason. I also liked killing the skeletons for bone parts and selling the bone parts for Gil.
