i want to know who cast matt mercer as ganondorf in a zelda game and just had him do like, a vaguely gruff voice. of all the voices to choose for ganondorf how do you not aim for the deepest and growliest voice possible. one of the most defining things about ganondorf is that he should always sound like his throat is a chasm of darkness

blue reflection 1 is Fine but it doesnt have a lot of energy (intentionally so but still) and there's some random weirdness that the sequel largely drops, like a five minute conversation where the girls talk about their shoes smelling bad for no conceivable reason other than, uhhhhhhhh

the reason is the character designer did a brainstorming session about what fetishes the staff wanted to include in the game

i'm not joking he did an interview about it

So I'm gonna let you know a little secret, the rest of the world has a set of super powers called implication and inference and where we can say things that have hidden meaning and then others can understand that unstated meaning. You do not in fact have to blurt out full definitions of things people clearly left up to obvious inference. It makes you come off as a bit of a weirdo.

I found it interesting to learn that not only did they do it on purpose, they also publicly admitted to doing it on purpose, and this whole process was documented.

man what



My all-time favourite scream in an RPG-adjacent game is the one that happens in the second phase of the pre-Shadowlord-Castle in Nier, because it happens just after the cutscene ends so you don't expect the voice acting to kind of keep going.

And they re-recorded it for the re-release! It's weird! I like the original scream much more for how surprising it is.

Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVRFYBDkpdk&t=786s
Replicant re-release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWvvfemPmak&t=359s

Hopefully the timestamps work out, otherwise you want 13:06 and 5:59 respectively.

I have no opinion on BR1 because I haven't played it but BR2 is one of the best RPGs I've played in a decade and I don't feel I missed anything skipping straight to it.

i dont think most people would have inferred that they had a company meeting on how best to include a broad range of fetishes in their game, no. and it's very funny.

whats happening is that its making not a lot of money and theyre desperately introducing overpowered swimsuit characters to try and get people to roll, and also all the art has gotten terrible

also i'm not sure it was a company wide meeting so much as, that era of gust was relatively prone to devs putting in odd stuff and being pretty transparent about it. same thing happened with some of the arland trilogy and the recurring thing is that most of the time they did that i don't think it was very well received by anyone at all lol. if they were trying to capture more of the otaku market with those choices or something i don't think it worked out

ar tonelico is just funny in general cause it was kinda ground up supposed to be their series pulling in more of an otaku audience with more of a gal game influence but i think most of what it pulled in was people who liked the singers they got for it, the weird language they constructed from scratch for it and how the core of the games' writing was genuinely pretty empathetic and sweet about stuff a lot of games didn't really explore with much nuance, at least not among home console rpgs. i'm not sure why gust handled the further entries the way they did cause they seemed to not really get that the audience it was big with wasn't purely dudes even though i've never really seen it be that big among the audiences they did seem to be aiming for

disposablewords
Sep 12, 2021

Ar Tonelico 1 sometimes just felt weirdly like one of those VNs that threw in the porn to help get sales. Like it doesn't have actual porn, but that gal game otaku-pandering stuff is just layered on top of such a neat setting that's got this great mix of being unexpectedly dark but having such a cutesy and upbeat presentation, and had so much work put into developing it. Like you can easily imagine someone saying at a meeting, "This is a great setting, but it needs boobies to help sell it," and thus the reyvateil harem happens and all the innuendo around dives.

Out of curiousity I took a gander at what japanese twitter folks have been saying about Blue Reflection recently and I don't know whether this is an indication of anything at all but one of the first posts I saw was someone saying they were trying out the gacha but were wondering if it wasn't popular because no one on their TL was talking about it
