Oh I don't know any "gamers" :shrug:

e: Am I confused here though - is FFX not the one that consists solely of the main character falling into water and then crying a lot, over and over again?

I liked FFX because of the gameplay but gently caress me if the story, characters and the villain, THAT loving VILLAIN, weren't atrocious. FF poo poo is usually weak storytelling and their characters tend to be hackneyed, but never have I ever hated anything so much as Seymour.

The only FF story I remember liking was FF Tactics Advanced. It was simple, sweet and heartfelt instead of a quantum reality stoner philosophy bullshit generator.

Speaking of final fantasy, the best one was the original and there hasn't been a good one since 2-3 (yeah that's right I didn't use the japan numbers, what of it)

I never knew before now that the game I need to play right now is an anime fishing simulator, but now I do and I feel like I should take back all my rude words about the newer final fantasy games.

I recently finished reading an LP of FFX. From what I could tell, Tidus is a dream of some people who've been dead for a thousand years. He's brought into the real world to destroy a monster that is his father, who somehow also ended up in the real world. It's pretty incredible because the more you think about it and look into what's going on, the less sense it makes.

Gay Twink Monster Fishing Outing is behind like bare minimum 6 hours of Final Fantasy slog and at least one melodrama cutscene about everyone dying and is also semi-hidden.

So basically it ain't worth it.

Curious: When Gay Twink Monster Outing was announced, they said they wouldn't include a female character because "guys act different around giiiirls!" Obviously this game was not intended for me, so I never played it. But now I gotta wonder, how much Grab Them By The Pussy dialogue actually showed up with no girls around to spoil the good times?

There are some that hold up. Mostly the ones that were a simple concept, executed well. Like, a bunch of old platformers are still just as fun to play now as when they were new. Like, I'll still play HERO for the Atari 2600 every now and then. And one day I'll manage to beat it.

That was impressive though. It's hard to see why, looking at it from a modern perspective, but when you were used to the video games of the time it was obvious. And if you look at it in that context it's still interesting to see the progress of technology. Why should it be embarrassing to be impressed by things that are, at that time, impressive?

It was technically impressive but it looks like rear end now and it looked like rear end then. It's objectively hideous and the fact that early 3D titles were hideous in a way that no previous games were was always a really bad reason to pretend that they didn't look like hot garbage.

Stephen Duffy's "Jane" is significantly better than the BNL version. I'm guessing this is an unpopular stance just based on the reactions I've had to the statement in the past. If it isn't, awesome.

It's pretty basic Final Fantasy writing with like an attempt at modern casual back and forth that pops up once every twenty minutes because it's ostensibly a bachelor roadtrip. The closest it comes to any kind of lewd dialogue is one member of the boy band has a crush on the female mechanic you meet at the beginning of the game, but it's straight up 'adult man acting like a fifth grader' with how insanely chaste it all is despite the mechanic character dressing in daisy dukes and a tied up shirt showing off her bra.

Maybe this is their way of dealing with the criticism that all their games with female protags are coincidentally their worst games. "Throw in some boobs for a 'no homo,' but otherwise nary a bitch in sight! GOLD!"

I could respect if they'd just said they wanted to tell a road tripping college teen boys story (forgot, Japan), but naw. They tried to pose it as in the interest of the quality and the realism of their dialogue.

I didn't say it looked good. That cover steinrokkan posted says it "could be the best looking PC game of 1997" which is a lot of qualifiers but does imply that they think it looks good (at least in comparison to other games) but that wasn't the point I was making. Steinrokkan said that "it's embarrassing that we used to be impressed by that garbage", and it isn't. Whether it looked good or not, it was genuinely impressive and it's not embarrassing that we considered it impressive.

the roadtrip and setting is the only decent part of that game and it basically ends like 1/5 through the game, also i'm pretty sure the protag is either in or graduated from college and 2 of the dudes are a bit older than him the other is his best friend

FFX's story sucked until the very end where instead of any rituals or traditions or other JRPG bullshit, they defeat the grand evil creature by blasting it with a giant loving gun, then beat the poo poo out of it until it dies. That owns.

FFX's story is actually good but completely tainted by the horrendous early voice acting. The sphere grid owned too and made FFX the very peak of the ATB system.

Oh and to the guy who said "the Japan numbers," uhhhh they're roman numerals my dude.

He means the FF games pre-VII, where they only a few got translated and they were on their own numbering scheme...

FFII original US release is actually FFIV, FFIII is FFVI, etc.
