It's good art, I know it's not actually Akihiko Yoshida but it looks just like his stuff.

In case anyone missed it before (i know you did because the video only has 89k views), there's this very charming talk between Yoshi-P, Koji Fox and Ben Starr that's worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQo2MbHqm9Q

I'm honestly surprised at how excited I am for this game. When it was first announced, I completely wrote it off. I believed Square didn't have it in them to not make a new final fantasy to get excited about after the awfulness of 13 and 15.

Oxxidation posted:having now finished the demo, my impressions alternate between the above image and Clive's actor is extremely good. Like it's hard to stress just how good he is. He is genuinely one of the most on-point performances I've seen in a video game especially because he's allowed to express a wide emotional range. He can do kind and caring as well as he can do utterly distraught or overwhelmed with rage and it helps sell the character in a way I think is rare. Even other great video game performances tend to focus on being sad/depressed/raging and Clive can do that but he can also he genuine and caring. (I am sure the other actors could pull that off too, mind you, but it's pretty rare for a character to get to be written as anything but Angry or Sullen for 95% of the game.) Honestly the thing I think stands out most is "the game is genuine." It isn't ashamed of itself. There's stupid jokes and puns but you don't ever get a moment where Clive goes "Well, THAT just happened" or stares at the screen and goes "Moogle? Who came up with THAT stupid name?" or whatever. It doesn't assume the player is going to nope out if it asks them to take something absurd seriously because the characters do. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Jun 19, 2023 |

I think one of my favorite little things about Clive is that he has a unique comment for every Mark you defeat and ninety percent of the time they are just a terrible pun of some kind.

It's really refreshing. 15 is a quarter of a good game, I went in blind years after release and thought when I was leaving the open world that I was like 25% of the way through, and was like okay this has promise! But instead that was like 75% of the game and the rest was just a bunch of tiny areas that were either basically brief rest stops or entirely linear and boring.

I saw a clip of the German dub on reddit and drat German Clive sounds pretty good too. Apparently the French and Latam Spanish dubs are great too. No idea about the Italian one but I assume it'll be good too.

Yeah many VAs can do angry shouting and many VAs can do I Sound Sad but few put in a performance like Clive at the end of the prologue where that “I’ll loving kill you!” is halfway between choking with rage and breaking into a sob.

The main character we are supposed to like is a highborn pretty boy who gets handed everything and is part of an aristocracy that upholds slavery. Hopefully something happens to knock him down a few pegs or he gets immensely more likeable.

JBP posted:15 is good though.  Obviously everyone can enjoy what they like and nobody can take that away but when the final fantasy developers, producers, and so on are openly throwing words around like "Mistake" and "Lessons learned" when referencing pre-realm reborn, 13, and 15 then I will take their word for it.Edit: For instance. I enjoy Final Fantasy Advent Children. That doesn't mean I'm blind to an extraordinary amount of issues it has and can call them out.

FF15 had so many corners cut in its presentation, all of it just felt sloppy and poorly put together. It felt like Square really struggled to get anything to work right. In comparison, FF16 so far is superb, everything feels perfect and handcrafted, it's all top tier quality, and every cutscene and moment is detailed and rich.

FF15 is amazing to look back on, because they tried making it this massive multimedia journey to embark on with anime shorts and a cg movie and a prequel beat em up and all sorts of other tiny tie-ins and then hosed it on the actual game. One of the cutscenes was just footage from Kingsglaive, if I remember right

One of the cutscenes was just footage from Kingsglaive, if I remember right I'm pretty sure that is because they just straight up added in bit of Kingsglaive because people who hadn't watched Kingsglaive were getting to that part of the story and wondering why it was just described as something that happened off screen.
