eh its a comedy segment so they made him play parts that would cause him to make funny comments, like pushing your car down a desert road or hiking through the desert wearing all leather.

Dude you made that whole thread complaining about how a Japanese company produced an entertainment product from a Japanese staff that was meant to sell to a Japanese audience was ruining their games by including anime-like plot details.

I think you're reading too much into what I'm writing because I've never explicitly condemned anime. (In fact, Final Fantasy has always been anime.) So much as bemoaned the lack of focus on characters and story in preference for graphics. :shrug: The thread does tend to get wordy and pretentious though, I'm definitely not helping.

I didn't get mad reading some posts but then a guy called Final Fantasy bad by calling Evangalion bad

Um, I think they called Xenogears bad by calling Evangelion bad. Not Final Fantasy.

most of the posts in that thread are novels and i can't bear to read that level of irritating pretentiousness, it's purestrain Games in its worst form

i even tried to be earnest about how awful it was, going all if you want to criticize this poo poo you might want to write your own poo poo to get a real understanding of how these things are made and qualify yourself and your own tastes, then linked the greatest movie director of the 20th century saying the same thing as support

everyone ignored me to whine about how insert game here was the worst game in the series some more lol

That's not the message or criticism I got from your post in that thread at all. To me it came off less as "Educate yourself about this" and more "If you don't like it do better/Stop bitching and put your money where your mouth is." Which is why I didn't respond to it because while writing/making games ourselves could/would lead to the creation of a bunch of new, FF-inspired, games of indeterminate quality (which is good) it doesn't address what happened to Final Fantasy. And my awful piece of poo poo thread is about discussing what happened to Final Fantasy.

Anyway, I'm not here to defend my lovely awful thread which is awful and poo poo. I'm here to talk about Final Fantasy and have the worst opinions.

good looks bro. copping x/x-2 because x-2 is the only FF ive never played and ive only heard great things about it

X-2 is mostly just silly fun and it remains a guilty pleasure of mine to this day.

I've been replaying through FF7 because of my poop thread and actively trying to give it a chance (because I've never liked it.) So far I haven't really been enjoying it but Tifa is a better character than I originally thought. It's the little things I guess.

Apparently the PC port of Lightning Returns was rough at first but they patched it up a bit and it seems mostly fine to me. Only issue I have are Xbox button display (I use a ds4) and some slowdown in towns where it seems to put my gpu to 50% clock speed. Otherwise, it works fine with 4K resolution and 60fps and other pc cuck essebtials

Pre-ordered this loving game for Xbox because it apparently has a really decent HDR mode and I want to see what HDR looks like on my TV, it was $11 off on amazon prime with release day shipping, and I am a loving sucker for Final Fantasy games even in my advanced age of the early 30s.

Is this one of those games that is another lovely "coming of age" story centered around a bunch of teenagers so cringe worthy that I'll need to shroud the TV with a blanket while playing to prevent the girlfriend and other people over at the house saying poo poo like: "Dude wtf? You a pedo gay Japanese fag fuckboi? Why are you playing this poo poo?". Or is the story somewhat salvageable consisting of a slightly more mature cast this time around?

Apparently the characters are at least old enough to drive a loving car this time around so I really hope there are some slightly less childish drama elements in it that will prevent me from getting placed on a sexual predator watch list. Also, apparently the latter part of the game takes places 10-15 years after the first part too. Is that true?

SE should really consider targeting an older audience for their next Final Fantasy games having an older cast dealing with real problems instead of "How to cope with your first Jack Kerouac adventure across the country".

It's kind of like Pokemon. Main game is really easy, it has lots of hard optional content especially post-game. I'm not totally impressed by the gameplay - it definitely doesn't have Pokemon's depth - but the writing is really fun. So if that's enough to keep you interested like it was for me, check it out.

I prefered Pokemon when it was "simpler" in the older generations so WOFF is right up my alley. It's just goofy enough and there seems to always be something to do (I haven't finished it yet). Also you can play it with japanese VO which owns because im a huge weeb.

Here are some videos (first one's a little spoilery)

I haven't played the full game or the demo, but after talking with ppl who have I think it suffers from Ni no Kuni syndrome -- where the demo was dogass awful but the actual game is a million times better. (Kuni top 5 games of last gen easily)

The general consensus for FFXV seeks to be very positive with the notable exception of the car, which absolutely sucks if you're doing anything that isn't the main story since you'll be driving/being driven down the same handful of roads over and over for ~10 minutes while everyone in the car is dead silent

That's the slowest part, but you get to watch two flying schools gently caress soon, and then Squall and Rinoa make eyes at each other in space (ymmv.) Past that, eh.
