Note to guy using potions: it's especially hilarious how many of those you'll spam when you can start ripping off O'aka the Twenty Third Merchant Extraordinaire for all the 100 Gil hi-pots he's got.

I get disappointed when I continue on and the music changes. Same. I used to just leave my PS2 on in Zanarkand while I was doing other things.

The rest of this concert is amazing, they even play stuff from Final Fantasy Legend and King's Knight of all things in it. They also do a beautiful false start for One Winged Angel, doing the intro before cutting over to the Chocobo theme.

I still like the song, and the shots of Rikku and Paine knocking dudes out are still pretty great. I just wish all Paine's non-fighter dress sphere outfits didn't look so bad. What is even going on with her Thief outfit.

You know the difference between Paine and other White Mages?  She makes this look good. Seriously though, I noticed a sort of pattern. Rikku will always have the skimpiest outfit, Paine the most stylish and Yuna is in-between. I loved making Rikku a Samurai though because she has that giant absurd katana Auron used to lug around and she actually wields it like a regular person would. She has this whole OOMPH animation just to pick it up, she runs with it all weird and then she just kinda waves it at the enemy like it's a giant 100-pound club instead of a sword.

Back when it was actually the greatest thing ever to be able to just listen to your favorite songs in a game or watch the cutscenes at your leisure?

I haven't played FFX in 10~ years, and I honestly forgot about this track. My brain always defaults to To Zanarkand whenever I think of the game. It's so magical.

And as we all know, except for the original white mage, hood up is feminine, and hood down is masculine. See also: Arc, the pansy crybaby from DS 3, has his hood up, while the other two males in the party have it down.

It would seem fitting that Dust to Dust is a spiritual successor to Someday the Dream Will End. Just as Someday is played while exploring the ruined remains of Zanarkand, I'm pretty sure Dust to Dust is played during exploring the remains of Vanille and Fang's village on Pulse.

I really thought it was neat how each of the girls had their own take for a lot of the dress spheres. I know for Berserker, they all do a different style of martial art. Man, now I can't wait to start playing X-2 HD.

I kinda makes me think they tried to capture the same feeling in FFXIII with Dust to Dust. It only plays once in the first game and even more sparingly in the sequels. That's a really nice song. Pulse might have all but ruined XIII for me but Oerba was well done. Then Robo-Pope showed up for no real reason except to troll you. But hey, if nothing else, he was pretty good at trolling. Seriously though, the fal'Cie were the Robo-Gods of XIIi but then they weren't really all that great. More like mid-tier Angels made by the Archangels or well I guess they would be the Archangels made by the Seraphim or...you get wher eI'm going with this. How does Caisu fit into this whole power spectrum? Is he way tougher than Bart? I'm just curious because with XIII-3'S main bad guy being XIII's God and all, I wonder if Caius like matters at all or if he fits into the "logical progression of power." Is B-God (I cannot remember how to spell his name and don't feel like looking it up) even a good villain? Like, how would you rank the XIII Trilogy Big Bads? Out of Barthandalus, Caius and B-God, which was the best?

I think Caius is probably the only FF villain I have ever seen go from being obsessively goal oriented to just giving the gently caress up and wanting to be left alone. He is without a doubt the best villain in XIII, Liam O Brien helps a lot. Barthandelus is fantastic too just because he's a straight up rear end in a top hat who trolls the group with his god powers and is voiced by Scott Bullock. I unfortunately have not finished LR yet due to my dumb backlog and will be finishing that after Bravely Default, but I cannot imagine how Bhunivelze is going to top either of them.

Caius is probably the best of XIII's antagonists, if only because of his interactions with the party, and the aformentioned Liam O'Brien voice. Space-Pope is forgetable as gently caress, but Robo-Pope is better, because he was just a massive, unrepentant cock to everyone. I've no current opinion on Robo-God, as my console is being borrowed, so FF:FNC:XIII-III:LR, will have to wait a few weeks. From what little I've seen of it, all it does is growl,speak through Hope, and die via "death from birthday present". Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Apr 5, 2014 |
