forbidden lesbian posted:well, what's the answer? Here's what the ESBR's official website says about the sexual content: During the course of the game, some female characters are depicted in outfits that expose large amounts of cleavage and jiggling breasts. In one sequence, players can use a spy camera to zoom in on a female character wearing a bikini. The game includes event scenes in which a character sedates/drugs players' character and performs unknown acts on them; it is implied that some of these acts may be of a sexual nature. Tabata must have gotten showdown with the Edios Montreal team making Thief reboot over who could make a better game for voyeurs.

YIKES Stay Gooned posted:according the replies, there's hella panty shots and a scene where you can spy on a girl in the shower. The OP of the thread was eventually convinced to buy the game and sell the FFXV demo code, because there's no breasts in it. A real win/win all around. I'm glad everything worked out

Yoichi Wada is LITERALLY going to hire a mad scientist named Hojo to impregnate his assistant with test tube alien matter to give birth to a superhuman child named Sephiroth who will grow up to go mad and become evil and kill the entire headquarters in the future, including Yoichi himself.

Shinra Technologies is their business-to-business cloud solution aimed at other developers. They had two traditional streaming services before this. One was Core Online (which ended its service) and the other was Dive-In. Shinra is said to be more efficient in that it scales server based computations with the processing demands of the game. It does so by compartmentalizing the typically processor heavy aspects of a game, such as physics. It would allows cost savings when compared to how traditional streaming servers host instances. Unlike Dive-In, games have to undergo major changes in order to use Shinra to its fullest. The eventual goal would be to get technically demanding games working on multiple devices that normally would facing porting or power constraints. Wada said we'd see results this year. Fun fact, Yusuke Naora had to dig up old FFVII concept art when management wanted to reuse the Shinra company as the name of their cloud service.

Not to mention the PSP/iOS version loves to give out the Maintenance passive to those NPCs, so you're only going to be busy killing them and not trying to steal their gear. When you're just killing them those fights are a complete joke as long as the AI doesn't suicide itself in Riovannes.

Maybe have her replace Amarant or something, or even Eiko, because she could serve as the second and more offensively-capable healer that Eiko does. Amarant would be easier to replace in the story, though.

The cloud service that replicates a physical device as in say PS Now, you can hypothetically get a game that does a single render of the universe based on inputs from n users and then just sends synchronized outputs to all participants. The idea seems to be that you can introduce interactable complex physics behaviour that would otherwise have major sync issues in a multiplayer environment.

Honestly they probably just didn't want the skill overlap and were either too lazy or too far into development to just make an entirely new skillset for her. I can see the developer-side argument against putting in "Steiner, except with a really weird damage formula."

I can see the developer-side argument against putting in "Steiner, except with a really weird damage formula." To be fair, Eiko is "Garnet, but less summons and more white magic." Beatrix being a mix of Steiner's sword skills and Garnet's white magic could have been kind of interesting.

Going back to the FF12IZJS character/job pairing, I found this google doc that's a pretty thorough analysis of how each character compares to the others. The difference between best and worst at any job is usually only a couple %, though Monk and Hunter are notable for a 16% dps spread. Also mathematic proof that Ashe has the second lowest sustained katana dps.

I kind of like to know that stuff even if it doesn't make much of a difference, because in some games it totally does and you won't know until it's too late. I mean even in FFX where you can give anyone everything there's clearly better characters.

It's all oddly counter-intuitive. Despite thematic resonance and stat strength, Balthier sucks with a gun and Ashe sucks with a katana, albeit on a fairly fine scale.

bloodychill posted:It's all oddly counter-intuitive. Despite thematic resonance and stat strength, Balthier sucks with a gun and Ashe sucks with a katana, albeit on a fairly fine scale. The Ashe situation is kind of interesting. The reason why everyone says she's the best Samurai is that she's the only character who can reach 99 STR and MAG while wearing the full Genji set. Everyone else needs to throw on some MAG-boosting armor to get there, which means they don't get the Genji set's full counterattack bonus. But here's the thing: that only matters in the endgame. Like, the far endgame. Katanas may use both STR and MAG, but they still use STR more, and for the vast majority of the game, that means Vaan, Basch, and Balthier are far better suited to being Samurais than Ashe. (Okay, so Ashe has somewhat higher MAG for Shades of Black, but it's a mystic armor job--it's not that huge a difference.) Also? If you're going for long combos, counterattacks kind of suck. They interrupt your combo and your ATB. If you're casting Decoy on your Samurai and having them tank, it can be pretty cool to have them constantly punishing enemies for hitting them, but if you're wearing the Genji Gloves and trying to go for massive combos, counterattacks just don't fit in. Basically, even ignoring animation speed (which I obviously do, because I made Balthier a Machinist on this playthrough), the arguments for Ashe being the best Samurai are kind of shaky. Balthier is also only the second-worst Machinist, I think. Penelo's slower than he is with a gun, and stats don't matter so that's pretty much the only criterion. Though, a lot of the arguments for "who should be what job" on GameFAQs are based on wasted stats. Like, if you make Ashe a Black/White/Red Mage, her high MAG is actually "wasted" by the end of the game because everyone, even Balthier, can hit maximum MAG as a Black/White/Red Mage at high levels and wearing mystic armor. Likewise, if you make Basch an Uhlan, you're "wasting" his high STR, because anyone, even Penelo, can hit maximum STR as an Uhlan at high levels and wearing heavy armor. This argument ignores that Ashe is going to max her MAG a lot earlier than most others, and Basch will do the same for STR, but the GameFAQs board makes almost all of its arguments based on endgame, level 80+ stats. The correct answer is that you should make each character the job that they look the coolest in or that you think fits their character the best and just make sure you have more than one person capable of casting mid- and high-level Cure spells eventually and you'll be fine. Incidentally, the only reason I didn't make Balthier a Red Mage is that I thought maces were just too... well, blunt of a weapon for someone like him. If Red Mages used rapiers like Larsa's instead, I don't think I'd ever make Balthier anything else, lack of innate Cure be damned. Harrow fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Mar 14, 2015 |

FFVIII also had this really weird translation that turned Squall from a socially awkward loner into an rear end in a top hat and for some reason translated like 10 different things into "...whatever", but I loved both FFVII and FFVIII back when they were first released. Also FF is a really weird case because FFVI had a great translation (unfortunately hampered by the limitations of the SNES).

Harrow posted:The Ashe situation is kind of interesting. The funny thing, though, is that they were using Ashe's level 99 stats when they determined that she was not-so-great as a Samurai. On the relevant tab ("Jobs at lv99") if you scroll down to Samurai, you see that each of her hits gets pretty high damage (second only to Vaan who is always first or second in everything) but she tends to get fewer hits than the rest of the team overall. I'm not entirely sure why that is, but it makes it pretty clear that she's a better Uhlan than Samurai by a decent margin. Well, "decent" in such a way as is completely irrelevant to anyone ever.

It's not a hard game, just remember to keep the same groups of materia equipped to level them up faster. Also, invest in enemy materia abilities if you want to break the game. Beta from the Midgard Serpent alone will wreck almost everything early on.
