EDIT: ^^ Gaius would've been a much better pick.


I think their mistake was writing him, from the start, with knowledge he'd be Big And Scary and stick around for a while. It meant they couldn't write in the players beating him for most of Stormblood, and had to hold back on any interesting details for ages because otherwise they'd run out.

Alright what's the bet on the release date? They really are still marketing this for the PS4 and PS5 might be out possibly next year so... Definitely looks like a game that will be dual release, I think if they don't give a release date at E3 it's going to be early 2021 with release date given next year's e3 or at VGA/Sony thing.

It’s Squall, “has no idea what’s going on when she asks for a hug” is literally the case there.

Rikku isnt dumb shes slightly hyper but is usually the one who questions if Yunas gun jumping or Paines aggression is a smart move. Shes also usually the first to encourage the same decisions once someone goes "Nah itll work".

Almost as If shes the same character as in FFX but the tone of the game is slightly more laid back so she can be goofier with it.

I don't know that the language exists to get the right double entendre. They really push the irony that he's an attempted genetic clone the way they speak of Reunion but actually Hojo knows the whole time it was a clone of the project, in that he was just trying to recreate what he did earlier.

So yeah maybe just cut the grand ironic double entendre to instead just simply say Cloud was made like Sephiroth.

7R is not 7 and I think it's fair enough to ask for people to tag what happens that differs from the og

I feel like I'm going to turn into that guy who exists solely to remind people that FF14 is way better than FF7R once it comes out in March.

Are they getting Soken extra chicken to do the music for this one, or is it still credited to Uematsu/faceless music drones in the vocaloid bay?

I never said a game needs to be balanced to be good. There are plenty of articles on game design that suggest otherwise even.

I said that regardless of intention, they were garbage. A lot of stuff simply doesn't work. The term "Perfect Imbalance" can be applied to a myriad of games, but oldschools JRPGs certainly don't apply for the most part.

Also if you think their decisions make perfect sense, ask yourself this in all sincerity: Were any of these older games released today by any other AAA company, do you think they'd go a single month without a lot of balance patches, even as single-player games? Because even SP games get patches and my friend, the treatment that oldschool FFs got are pretty wild as it is. I'm looking at you FFX and FFXII.

Or to ask a question that puts things a lot more into perspective: How much worse would it have been for hardcore Pokemon fans if the main games became ARPGs? I'm willing to bet that people would become far, far, far more furious about it than they do about FFs. People are willing to shrug off genre changes because the old games made anything but perfect sense.

It's only ever said in KH and thus is not canon to FFX. Sorry, it's Tide-us.

Yes they do.

They also say it regularly in Dissidia

Like this isn't a case of "they just said it once in KH and never again." It is how his name has been pronounced every single time it has been voiced.

I never once said there's no political message in FFVII. I think I said the exact opposite like a day or two ago.

But there's literally no conventional government or state anymore so of course the only power left has a standing military to maintain its hegemony. This is not comparable to any real world corporation, no matter how powerful,. Death squads are not the same as having the most advanced military ion the planet. Shinra has the only military on the planet as far as we can tell.

But his limit breaks

It's pretty weird how Cid is a huge jerk, but he's a fan favorite cuz he gets some of the best limit breaks? A lot of people love him as one of their finals.

Clarste posted:

It's sort of weird how in Crisis Core Wutai is portrayed as a rival superpower to Shinra and even in the original they built that giant gently caress-off canon in Junon to fight them, but the actual country is one tiny tourist town.

I wonder if people remember that hundreds will die horribly being crushed under the dropping place of a section of the city.

Along with the many casual settlement leveling by Shinra and the fact some MAKO reactor do micro meltdowns too. It was a dark game indeed when not embracing the crazy.

So i just finished my 100% FFX-2 run. Gonna new game+ for the fiend arena sidequest.

A question though, is it ever explained how Shuyin got so super powerful? Guy can hack people and aeons and just his memory alone is able to do the same. Like wtf Seymour was a summoner and best he could do as an unsent is summon a cool chair.
