So I am starting the gathering/crafting grind in the FF14 and I got to ask, any of you know a good podcast about the franchise? I am seeking one that is essentially laid back nerds dropping dumb in jokes and messing around. Or one focused on trivia/culture of the games and their development.

I don't mind BlitzBall but gently caress the one guy who thought that single looping track for it's entire existence was good enough. It's so bad when a friend was playing it on his PS4 last year I asked him to mute it.

Regional accents from the British Isles and Ireland>Generic bland awkward English accents that aren't even real.

Yes those accents are Northern not Welsh.

Stormblood is great but clearly feels like two half finished expansions mashed together. I do appreciate the world expansion, but it is almost comical how quickly the bad guys are thrown out of power. At least the last bit of the story line and music associated with it are great. DeadButDelicious posted:As a Brit it is nice to see a bit more range in accents in games rather than cockney, Scottish, and posh twat. Same. The Fable games were sort of interesting because of all the South Western accents they had.

Making everyone sound like they are from the east coast of the US would certainly make FFVIII interesting.

As a nerd who few years ago wrote several posts about 19th century influences in the uniforms of the Gundam thread I approve of this nerding out over character design.

14 really loving loves gaiter boots and frontier style moccasins. Oddly enough though they don't have any idea how to make non formal/cute looking small shoes. Ventana posted:Can you link to these because I'd love to read about this and I haven't been to the Gundam threads for a while It was the previous thread to the current one, so unless you have archives. It's not as in depth as the suit posts though, one day I will try to top those.

Knee length cavalry bucket boots are still sexy. Still to this day questioning those white mess hall hussar style formals that dip way too far into waiter in mid 19th century hotel. A lot of uniforms in that anime straddle the line between weird milhist mish mash and crazy old time hotel vibe. I was going to do Gundam Seed but Futurama beat me to the one joke I was going to make.

I'm just wondering how awkward it is for Barret getting ammo from the pouches on the back of his trousers myself. Man is determined to not let his gun arm get in the way of efficient use of pocket space.

I quite enjoy the evil genocidal antics of JRPG magitek Joker myself, though brooding perfectly shampoo'd long hair long sword silver mothers boy also is quite amusing.

Hojo is the kind of man who's closet is nothing but scientist coats and nothing else. If the remake ever gets to Del Sol and he's not wearing at least a coat on the beach!

NikkolasKing posted:The way I understand it IF YOU READ THE DATALOGS or something, Hope's dad was kinda whaever about his wife and son being sent to be killed by turtle elephants. I don't remember all the details of what I was told but there is some reason for Hope being mad at his dad. It's just never properly conveyed in the game because it's loving FFXIII. It's a shame because I do kind of like the core concepts of the main cast but then I remember the pacing, the design, the terrible choice to band half the story and dialogue over three silly sounding sci-fi terms and my will to care drains away. I keep telling myself to consider trying the spin off one of these days.

So anyone else ever get the weird mental image where the middle of the much accepted modern One Winged Angel orchestral cover of Cloud and Sephiroth just throwing down their swords and just doing a cheek to cheek Tango? Because that bit is just bizarre to hear coming out the blue between the choral chants and drumming. Sorry in advance if I seeded your mind with this.

At some point in the coming year they are determined to trim and compact the weird transitioning content between AAR and first expansion so it is a less of a pain. But I love the MMO but like said above, different games that cater to different tastes. SeanBeansShako fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Jan 4, 2020 |

They need to drop the class restrictions to glamoring already, the cowards. Seriously painful if you want to dress your magic classes up to 50.

We instead should be debating what other villains of the franchise managed to convince their bosses to pay for their personal hygiene.

I don't legit press the dude because for some reason he gets in a right strop, like I am questioning his fan status for not ever having the chance to play it? It is a legit black hole for some due to the console and time gap.
