Unsent is a stupid lazy writing cheat and I really wish someone had interrupted Mika's grand speech with "dude shut up about death you should be dead except you decided not to be"

GrizzlyCow posted:Unsent is just a fancy term for ghost. From all the things you could take umbrage with this stupid section of the game, the fact that the story includes spirits is an odd one. N-no not really also uhh kindly leave Auron's drinking problem out of this

Captain Oblivious posted:He's not wrong though. It's fairly common for a writer to define more of their setting than is actually detailed in the story, simply for their own purposes of internal consistency. Not everything needs to be told to the player character. This would be more tenable if Spira were a more well-defined and constructed setting outside of the heavy-handed doom imagery. As (unfairly) maligned as X-2 often is, it does a decent job in this regard (while suffering the same problems in others) but that's saying too much

In a similar sense to designers figuring out how to explain a game mechanic without tutorials, more game writers should think about how to convey information without exposition

NikkolasKing posted:You could counter with Tidus is only 16 or 17 and just had his civilization wiped out but he seemed to have gotten over that remarkably fast. Did Tidus ever actually address that he wasn't just forcibly removed from his lifelong home, but also witnessed it getting blown the gently caress up?

you'd think someone would encourage non-summoners to learn how to send, it seems kind of important for day-to-day functioning in spira then again considering all the unsent putzing around i guess not

OminousEdge posted:Filling the enitre Spheregrid really isn't all that hard. I honestly have no idea why people seem so fearful of such a prospect. Hell, I did it for fun back when the game was on the PS2 just to turn all my characters basically into gods. Even Kimahri. nobody thinks it's hard, just an ungodly amount of tedium for something that isn't really at all worth it

TurnipFritter posted:I mean, I guess, but I don't recall the game framing it like that. Maybe it does and I've just forgotten. nah, both tidus and the game spend very little time ruminating on his zanarkand. like yeah cognitively you know this means the deaths of so many people, but emotionally it's just eh oh well. most people's strongest memory of nu zanarkand is probably a bad metal song

SarahSyna posted:I find it interesting that while Real Zanarkand was summoner-based, Tidus didn't know poo poo about summoners and Dream Zanarkand is all machina-ey instead. I'm wondering if the fayth maybe 'retconned' that or something, and if so, why. It makes Dream Zanarkand more like Bevelle probably was, so... maybe that's part of it? this twist is kinda dumb

"Listen to my story. This may be our last chance." is a really cool line that hooks you into the narrative right from the beginning. The presentation and style of this scene and the introduction are top notch, it's a shame none of it actually flows together very well, like development had already started before anyone could edit the script

this scene is the culmination of yuna's pilgrimage, the climax, auron finally giving a gently caress with a nice speech eh, any satisfaction is just superficial, this still doesn't really feel earned

Onmi posted:So just clarifying something, It's not so much that Sin takes the Final Aeon, Sin would take ANY Aeon. The reason will become clearer, but even if you paid Yojimbo to Zanmato Sin, Yojimbo would just be the next Sin. Double clarification, the thing killing the summoner is the Aeon being severed from their control, apparently that poo poo is really lethal. it'd be nice if this scene actually lent any gravity to this revelation, maybe with some dramatic silence or better dialogue spacing, but that would take a competent director and man what's with those fuckin crossfades and weird staticy cuts, c'mon
