Pureauthor posted:There's a dedicated FF7 thread? Yeah where is this? Anyway, I was totally shocked by Aerith dying back when I first played the game. She seemed to clearly be the heroine of the game and the one Cloud was going to end up with. Of course, back then, I was a Tifa fanboy so I didn't give a poo poo. But as I've gotten older I've come to prefer Aerith and I lament her dying a lot upon replaying the game. Her healing is very handy in those difficulty mods I love so much. (play one today! New Threat is objectively great)

Schwartzcough posted:Nah, Rosa was basically "Cecil's girlfriend" from a plot perspective. Aerith has plenty of her own plot threads that didn't revolve around Cloud. Rosa has basically two lines where she helps Rydia cast Fire, I guess.

drrockso20 posted:As someone who never really played 7 beyond what the demo covers, how badly does that screw you from a gameplay perspective it doesn't because you can just give all her materia to someone else. the only thing that defines a character in ff7 is what weapon they use and their limit breaks

Gologle posted:That's a bad example, because Terra isn't really a healer nor is she even an important character in the story past FC. She is a completely optional character in WoR, that's how done her story is at that point. Exactly, both stop having agency in the plot line halfway through.

Nah, Artemis actions still have far reaching consequences, and its as a direct result of her doing the thing that enables the heroes to triumph in the end. The Espers plot that needs Terra's character goes away completely in the WoR, because Kefka is such a huge problem that neither the empire or the espers are even a concern anymore.

FF7 thread is over in GBS. Not a bad read, especially Elentor's posts.

Elentor also LP'd the game (over the course of 4 years!) and that LP and thread both were very good.

Nah the LP is bad, but his opinions are good.

Cleretic posted:I still think Aerith is the right one to die in that game, because she's the one outside of Cloud that you'd most think wouldn't, for both story and gameplay reasons; she's clearly heavily important to the main plot and has ongoing subplots at the time, and she's also the only dedicated healer and non-joke mage. You don't kill her, you kill anybody else! They should've gone with their other idea of killing everyone who isn't in your party off when you skydive out of the airship over Midgar imo.

Actually if you'll look at my geocities page you'll see that Cloud died at the end of Disk 1 and everything afterwards is a dream in his last moments

Actually cloud and sephiroth kiss when aeiris dies, it's offscreen bc they were afraid of the moral majority

Sephiroth was a good guy. Aerith's death was actually just acupuncture gone terribly wrong.

Actually Jenova killed Aeris and she did it because she has a crush on Cloud and wanted to get rid of a love rival.

The only good thing about the FF7 lp is it shows you how the Square button breaks the game, which is appropriate considering the company that made FF7.

Oh I thought he mistyped and meant to say game 9, as in, Final Fantasy 9. Now there's a tearjerker.

If FFXV had ended at chapter 9 it would be one of my favorite games in the series. Unfortunately, it doesn't end at chapter 9.

Red Red Blue posted:I thought XV ended extremely well, though Apparently Square-Enix doesn't, because one of the DLCs added an alternate ending, and there have been whispers of them adding in an official 'good ending'. Sorry, guys, endings can't be good if the main character dies anymore. Apologies to Final Fantasy X, you now retroactively have a bad story, and congratulations to XIII-3 who is now to be considered the gold standard. This is also good news for the Persona series, which will now have a bit less argument as to which game is the best now that Persona 3 is out by defintion.

Red Red Blue posted:I thought XV ended extremely well, though I've said it before but the ending of FFXV is very good. Shame about the rest though. Noctis basically sums up the entire game in one sentence: "You guys... are the best" (I think the literal translation in Japanese was "I love you guys") Its the one theme FFXV was very consistent with and it stuck with me more than any other game in the series.

In 15 is the world of ruin supposed to be awful in hdr? It's like the sky color is over saturated. No other game looks as bad.

cock hero flux posted:Do you not know the incredible story of FFX-2.5? Because boy, it's a good one. The highlight is absolutely Tidus kicking a blitzball and loving exploding and then Yuna catching his severed head. Also I think Sin comes back to life at some point. http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_X-2.5_~Eien_no_Daish%C5%8D~ Holy poo poo, I thought you were joking. So is it hilariously bad or just bad?
