Don't worry about that because as author of the thread and also the person who will be purchasing the prize for the winner I reserve the right to disqualify any entry I deem inappropriate.

...that hurts to look at a little bit. Also, seeing as I own Days, I never watched the movie. But that game did make me feel pretty sad in the end. But only in the end.

Auron, the only character I liked from FFX. I can't help but think FFX would've been better if it was Auron as the Main Character with us following Braska's Pilgrimage.

Come to think of it, I never covered Beast's Limit, did I? Alright, let's do that as well as Auron's this time. Beast's Limit is Twin Howl, equipped with the ability Howling Moon. When you first use the Limit, Beast and Sora charge up a roar attack that hits everything around you. After that, your two interactive moves are Stalwart Fang and Outcry. Stalwary Fang, as your reaction command, is the move that involves Beast. He will slam the ground, creating damaging shockwaves. Meanwhile, Outcry replaces Attack, and Sora will do his own roaring attack, creating a burst of energy around him. While using this, he'll automatically charge towards enemies, allowing for you to hit them very easily! The finisher of this Limit is Last Howl, which is basically a more powerful version of the Twin Howl opening. Beast and Sora charge up energy, and essentially hit everything around them with a powerful shockwave. Auron's Limit is actually one of my favorites in the game. Not because of how it works, but because every part of it is a reference to his Overdrives in Final Fantasy X, one of my favorite RPGs. (Yes, yes, I'm aware of how many people claim it's bad.) Anyways, his Limit is Bushido, available through the ability Overdrive. (His Overdrive command in FFX was Bushido, so.) The opening Bushido move is a simple attack where Sora and Auron spin back-to-back to create a damaging circle around them. The other two moves actually replace both Attack and your reaction command. The way it works is that you only get access to the reaction command, causing Auron to use Shooting Star. Then your attack command changes to Shooting Star, and while Auron is doing it Sora will be able to do his own. After Auron is done, the reaction command changes to Banishing Blade, and the pattern continues. Shooting Star is a spinning attack similar to the opener, and is based on the Shooting Star Overdrive from FFX, although it's very different. (There, it was a hit with the flat of the blade that could remove enemies from the battle.) Banishing Blade is actually a combination of two Overdrives. It takes its name from the Banishing Blade Overdrive, but functions like the Dragon Fang Ovedrive. Auron/Sora jump up into the air, slamming down near an enemy and creating pillars of fire. After a bit of using those, the commands change to Spiral, Bushido's Finisher. Sora and Auron put their weapons together, spinning them, and then jump apart, creating a giant tornado that sucks up and damages enemies. This is based on Auron's final Overdrive, Tornado. All in all, a good couple of Limits.

I have to say that I agree with that sentiment. Most of my ill feelings from FFX come from the fact that Yuna just isn't as likable to me as her father is. I also seriously doubt the story would have changed all that much if Square-Enix had gone that route.

I remember Dark ID's FFX LP (rip LP) going a bit into Braska's loving around with Auron and Jecht. It was hilarious and should have been FFX. In fact remove Noctis from XV and it might be just like that.

Then again, making Org 13 a group of 13 different Lightnings would give lots of people a reason to complete the game so they could beat the ever-loving poo poo out of her.

Specifically they really have nothing in the form of character development. Probably the only likable character in the game is Sazh and maybe Fang though I didn't last long enough to see if she was a one note character or not. There probably wouldn't have been all this hate for Lightning if the story had simply ended at FFXIII (especially since after seeing the ending the story itself seemed to wrap up at least ok), but Toriyama basically saw everyone's lackluster attitude towards Lightning and went "You will learn to love my video game wife" and forced 2 sequels that made her essentially a living mcguffin, but still with no real character development. It is also that people can see that she is clearly a female version of Cloud from FFVII just minus the development. edit: remembering names is a good idea. gatesealer fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Feb 11, 2015 |

I gave up halfway through that game because I wasn't having fun anymore. Thing is, there were some things they did that I actually thought were good. I liked that they tried something different for the combat and if they had worked at it more it could have been really good. I didn't mind the level up system since it just reminded me of the sphere grid, but aside from those and a couple minor things the rest of the game was boring. I think this phrase sums it up well "Once you get past the first 20 hours it gets really good". Why should I have to play through a game for 20 hours before it gets good? If I paid $60 for a game I don't want a third of the game to be a giant tutorial and have cutscenes every 5 steps.

I'm pretty sure even HE doesn't like her.

So really it's just Kingdom Hearts we can blame anything on him for!

Sebastian, Joseph, Kidman (I had to look up their names) One of the biggest problems with FFXIII is that you're just running around hallways fighting stuff and there's barely any conversation going on besides cutscenes.

Lightning is a Bad Character. Badly characterized in an already badly written game. Like Arcturus said the player is given no reason to like Lightning , well apart from that one time when she punched Snow, at any point in the game. She's a Squall-lite 'stoic' character who is completely humorless and XIII tries to force her down your throat at every turn. It's why people like Sazh. At least he's felt more than one emotion. At least he comes across as vaguely relatable and human. In fact Sazh should be the only thing from XIII to show up in KH3.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Lightning is a Bad Character. Badly characterized in an already badly written game. I agree with all of this. Although having Frocobo in the game as well should happen. I will still laugh when Chocolina is a summon. Because this is Square Enix and we know about how it's one tentative halting almost step forward followed by throwing yourself down a flight of stairs with them.
