I read somewhere a long while back that Gackt is no longer a fan of S-E, so if he doesn't want his likeness associated with them anymore I think they will probably just cut out that stuff entirely. IMO, they should do that regardless.

Don't reply to things like that, I just assume people who say Noct is broody have never actually played the game themselves, cus he's really not, and the few times where you can say that of him he's pretty justified, i.e finding out your dad is dead, seeing your gf dead, finding out you were born just to die, knowing people keep dying because you exist. On the roadtrip part of the game he's exceedingly average personality wise.

I looked up the ending of Episode Ardyn cus I'm going to play it anyway and I don't care about spoilers, and man, it's hosed up.

To summarize Episode Ardyn and Final Fantasy XV as a whole, I suppose: The moral is the exact opposite of the other Final Fantasy games.

What I saw of Episode Ardyn's ending was very hosed up and left me with an uneasy feeling in my gut, so I went ahead and watched someone's playthrough of it (it's about 2 hours long, no big deal). Something I never felt like I had to do with any of the other Episodes, even Gladio's. There's a lot of thoughts in my head right now that I'll have to order properly later in one big blah blah blah post, but suffice it to say, I think it's a bad Episode, and I don't think it is worth buying. It's a sad end to a game.

I started replaying FF8 because I was that stupid kid who used summons for every battle and the game was a slog. I haven't gone full on breaking the game, but even just actually using card mod and know to abuse limits has let me breeze through the game so far. And its still bad; the combat is boring as hell, the story is all over the place, and the environments are just a pain to get around. The game has no charm.

So I put it down and decided to play actual good game FF7. I've got those neural-net uprezed backgrounds and got rid of the mouths they added to the PC release. Are any of the mods available actually recommended / fun?

There is apparently a retranslation of the entire thing done, so maybe get that too.

FFXV's soundtrack is actually really good, but like the last post said, a bunch of people choose to listen to the other FF games soundtracks instead when you are given the option, which IIRC is either from the very start of the game or in Chapter 3, you can buy it in the car shop.

Probably FFXV for me, because it's basically just the real world except with monsters and the caveat of never going out at night. In fact, post game, it basically is just the real world but with monsters.

A thought occurred to me. FF7, and a little bit more elaborately Advent Children, suggests that because Sephiroth is essentially Jenova's child, and also because he's a crazy rear end in a top hat, but mostly because of the whole "part eldritch Parasite Eve", he is removed from the Lifestream entirely and literally cannot join it, and can come back to the living world by whatever bullshit. So does that mean Sephiroth will eventually win? Cus Cloud and the rest of the FF7 crew aren't going to be around forever, 500 years later the only one we see left is Nanaki.

I thought Aerith only cures the Geostigma of people who went to her church to get healed? Wouldn't that mean that someone out there might still have Geostigma and vulnerable to be turned into a Sephiroth? And what do you think Sephiroth does with his time while he's dead?

Origin posted:

I'm sure Bahamut and the Summon Gang can create a convoluted plot making the FF7 crew and their descendants a sort of "Knights of the Round" and slash Sephiroth into oblivion two thousand years in the future.

I'm sad, because this is secretly a super good post that nobody else in this thread will get.

Also on FF7, that video shown earlier does a good job of showing that even though the EU and fandom have mangled the original characterization of everybody in the cast to shreds, they actually pretty much consistently nailed Sephiroth being a crazy jerk. That insight into his relationship with Cloud being aloof and godly, chummy and friendly, snide and mocking, all at the same time is a great detail.

You are a liar if you say that you think FFXII is the best FF when you say that you've also played VII. 7 is easily the best, it always has been and it always will be, it broke new ground.

Holy poo poo I just realized that the floating island the Marquiz rules over in FF12 is literally Cloud City from Star Wars Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back. All this time people have been telling me that Ivalice rips off Game of Thrones, when the real answer was Star Wars.

The guidebook to FFXV at release has a timeline of the background events, and it says Ifrit sent the Starscourge. Since all the gods are asleep since the great war, meaning Titan has been holding that meteor for 2k years, since the war, and since it's called the Starscourge, implying it came from space, its been a popular theory that Ifrit threw down the meteor at Eos (the planet) and Titan caught it. But you are correct, that isn't actually confirmed anywhere and is a theory made up of assumptions, so it may not be right.

However, I think it's cool as hell, so it's right to me!

I kinda like it. Too bad it'll take forever to fully come out.

For those of you who won't care to watch this, it's about the FF7 remake and it sucks, to nobody's surprise. S-E stopped making good games once they stopped being Squaresoft.

Sephiroth was talking to Cloud in the first scene in the game.

EDIT: OK, not scene, maybe, but first event.
