The pure escalation of the Bahamut summons in FFVII made them worth it. A regular dragon who has a breath beam. In the next one, the chunk of ground that the target is standing on gets raised up into the sky where a giant red dragon's breath hits the target so hard it ablates the ground out from under it. Finally, a loving space dragon flies from behind the earth, deploys all six of its wings and shoots a beam, from orbit, that burns away the clouds, at the target.

So dope.

In the youtube video I just watched he did 8828 damage.

I couldn't remember the second Bahamut one at all. Which is crazy, because it's arguably the coolest.

Doesn't Zero fly out from behind the moon too? Maybe I'm just imagining that part.

I thought that he flew out from behind the moon, but in the video I just watched, it looks like the camera turns around to show the Earth and he flys out from behind it and turns around.

The funniest ones were the Quickenings in FF12 because there was kind of a normal flow to attacking and casting magic otherwise, and then there was like a 10 minute section of the monster being trapped against some kind of flashing background with a fixed expression that always looked like "What... what is happening to me right now? Is this abstract? Is there actually an Ice Meteor hitting me?"

People always like the implied enthusiasm of standing up and raising your arms in the air to say "McDonalds!", but the most ominious part is the idea that these commercial breaks would occur mid-shootout. "Say 'McDonalds' to find out what happens next!"

The bullet is IN THE AIR. Freeze-frame. Commercial break.

I want to know what happened in images 1503, 1505, and 1507.

I imagine 1503 is the person going "ugh, I loving hate commercials", 1505 is them saying "Mcdonalds :geno:" and the commercial is like "more enthusiasm!", and 1507 is the person sitting back down, depressed that they dropped 400 dollars on a microsoft kinect

Alternate joke, 1506 isn't them praising the great mcdonalds god, it's actually them shouting in frustration because the first five times they said it the console didn't recognize they did so

Yeah I am imagining where a disabled person without insurance (so their disability isn't logged) is home, bedridden, while their only family member works back to back 8 hours shifts. An ad comes on requiring them to speak to continue with their program, and they can't. They lie in bed staring at an image of a big mac for 16 hours, listening to an unceasing litany of "Say McDonald's to continue!".

Remember that they okayed a dating sim with dead Namco characters done by the Homestuck guy.

Also Dig Dug is in the same universe as Ace Combat.

Wayforward did a Wonder Momo game for mobile. Apparently it's since been delisted.

I bet all the crossover games are now Mr. Driller canon, but not canon for Capcom/Sega/Nintendo/etc. Bad Box Art Mega Man is now Susumu Hori's cousin.

Once, using a save editor, I tried to get the airship on Disc 1.

When I loaded up my game, I found myself staring at the overworld. Staring at Junon. You know the Junon Cannon? Apparently it's got a model that appears on the world map, maybe during a scripted cutscene or whatever, because when I moved the control stick, it separated from its home and began to move. I could not encounter any enemies. I could not open my menu.

I was permanently the Junon Cannon. My save was ruined.
