Why the hell is Legend of Kay getting a 10th year super mega deluxe anniversary re-release? The game was worse than Kya:Dark Lineage. Not only that who the hell remembers Legend of Kay...I mean other than me because it really stood out as being a tedious bad game. Like you might as well Lionize Superman 64 or some poo poo because at least people have heard of that game.

backgrounds were all modeled at a much higher polygon count than the character models. The Final Fantasy 9 backgrounds have incredible amounts of detailed before the rendering resolution decreased their quality. Like if Square ever wants to do an HD re-release they could just have a 3rd person camera for Final Fantasy 9 because all those enviroments were fully built and could be used as such with minimal changes.

My controversial opinion is that I kind of like it more than Brave Fencer Musashi. But really it doesn't matter because Nayuta no Kiseki and Gurumin are better than both of them.

I wonder if Square Enix is scared of remaking FF7 because they know they'll gently caress it up, or if they're just keeping that in their back pocket for when their numbers start going really bad.

Like that whole scene where you climb the Shinra building and you're sneaking through and poo poo goes down and you meet Red XIII and then you rush out on the motorcycle is awesome, but man, the game just goes from 0 to 100 on the anime scale when you hit Kalm and Cloud goes and emos out about his past, even Barrett can't stand that loving story and complains. FF7's good when it's good but man does it just have some serious spikes of anime any time Sephiroth decides to show up. It's like a game about wanting to kill anime and everything that's wrong with it, as Sephiroth is the pure embodiment of anime.

I think it's really weird that FF7 is the game that tries to make its villain into a big tragic figure, since Sephiroth's motivations are really poor. He basically found out he's grown in a lab and his reaction is to murder everyone forever. When you see the horrible aftermath of him beating you to the Shinra HQ you get the idea he's a dangerous motherfucker with a serious grudge against them, but nope, he's just an idiot whiny anime man.

That's why Kefka's great, he's such an loathsome unapologetic rear end in a top hat that'll do anything to worm his way into power. He's a good balance of being a seemingly goofy buffoon and a serious threat as well.

Japanese RPG made predominantly for teens features heavy anime influence, news at eleven. EDIT: Also note that Squaresoft practically handed itself on a platter to Enix back when they decided to blow their entire budget on a CG nerd movie. They are not known for making sound business decisions. Ekster fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Mar 22, 2015 |

FactsAreUseless posted:Kefka's amazing because he's the scenery-chewing villain it what is basically an opera. It's why Kuja and Garland don't work as well in FF9. The game's designed to be theatrical but Kuja doesn't get developed until too late and doesn't get a really great scene. And Garland is, again, too late an addition. They both need a big loud moment to be crazy.

I didn't complete FF9 so as a result I've always thought of Kuja as just a big girly rear end in a top hat who's just kinda there because the game needed a fresh rear end in a top hat and no other reason, really

Matthew Matosis's latest review is out, this time covering Super Mario 3D World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D-geFXZiZk His entire 3D Mario series is fantastic. If you love in-depth discussions of game design, his videos are a joy to watch. Start from the first, Super Mario 64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S6myWz3Kzg

They both need a big loud moment to be crazy. Garland's introduction at the start of Disc 3 is fantastic, he has a great imposing theme tune and blows up a city with a freaky spaceship eye; he doesn't get a ton of screen time but when he turns up it is generally pretty great. I agree Kuja doesn't get a 'don't mess with this guy' scene soon enough though, his power up and limit break is pretty cool but that's practically at the end of the game. I don't think it hurt things too much though, he ends up being a pretty strong villain and strikes a good balance between being a huge dick and having a coherent, if not sympathetic motive. I mean no one ever complains about Armstrong's last minute introduction in MGR because when he does turn up it's golden, similarly I thought Branhe and Garland did carry the plot pretty well until Kuja wigs out

As JRPG villains go Lavos was cool in the sense of being an ever-present, looming and alien threat. Also the whole storming The Black Omen is like one of the most climatic feeling endings I've played in a game. Chrono Trigger's writing ain't mindblowing at all but they really managed to make it feel like a fun grand adventure that I don't feel a lot of games successfully capture.

Yeah Chrono Trigger's probably one of the all time greats for scenario design, and it does a much better job of being a lighthearted 90s anime than most do at being a racism allegory or examination of the human consciousness or whatever

There's also the screen smearing that happens where the game freezes and your character frames will spread across the screen. It's not a hard game to inadvertently wind up out of bounds. Granted it's mostly multiplayer that causes people to move at a faster more chaotic pace, so if you just played single player you probably were not fighting with each other which usually lead to glitch incidents.
