The Colonel posted:the funniest "we rendered these cutscenes early in dev" thing in a game to me will always be vexx for gamecube where halfway through the game you get a cg cutscene where someone is like vexx, you must go find the four waymark towers and activate them to thwart the bad guy's scheme. none of this happens in the game part of vexx. there are no towers. they cut the towers from the game months before launch but they couldn't afford to re-render the cutscene. these are the perils, of cg cutscenes

If you could show me the part in XIII where it is established what the XIII party does in the end is possible, I'd appreciate it. I don't think the supplied quote from the ending can be used as evidence of foreshadowing for the ending. You admit outright they pulled everything out of their rear end, but then you try to justify it by saying it was established beforehand. Those are incompatible statements. So I'd like to see the quote or scene even hinting at what happens in the ending is possible. If you can supply it, I will happily concede.

I've not ever got to the endgame but I've never seen so many words posted about a game having to explain how it all makes sense you're just being stupid or deliberately ignorant if you don't follow, does make me think maybe the story isn't that well conveyed?

I never picked it up and just realized Rebirth is coming final fantasy 7 intergrade is not final fantasy 7 so you should probably know what happens in it before you play the direct sequel yes idk, why would you not just play intergrade first anyways, it’s a fun game and it’s going to be cheaper than rebirth? this isn’t a trails situation where people try to tell you to do five games of assigned reading instead of just jumping with with cold steel 1

As a whole: Yes, 100%. Just the Yuffie part: It isn't like strictly necessary but stuff from it is going to be in Rebirth, they showed it in the trailer.

I can believe that the original FF13 plot was meant for a longer game cause despite rough issues Square always was able to push through rough patches and finish a game despite the challenges of working on new hardware. Surely it wouldn't be different this time (Sadly it being the first HD Final Fantasy and also multi platform meant Square in fact couldn't push through the rough patches)

You can cruise through Intergrade in like 3 hours if you just want to see what the plot is.

If you buy Rebirth on PSN at least, you get Intergrade for free under the Twin Pack they have for sale.

If you really don't want to bother, Chip and Ironicus did a very exhaustive playthrough of FF7R including the Intergrade stuff and they even have a 'no commentary over cutscenes' version.

FFVIIR LP with No Cutscene Commentary FFVIIR LP With Cutscene Commentary Chip will probably be how I experience Rebirth, too. I'm still kind of irritated he never did FFVII, though. He claimed at the start of FFVIIR he'd at least go through Midgar in the OG game but I don't think he ever did. I was subscribed to his channel at the time and for a long while after and never saw anything.

NikkolasKing posted:FFVIIR LP with No Cutscene Commentary Probably because he went through the whole game with his wife. (I think they're married now? Not sure on the timing on the wedding.) Not exactly his normal kind of LP, but close enough that I expect he didn't want to do it again.

getting towards the end of xerd. got my last party member, a dragon named falco. he also functions as your airship. the funny value of xerd kinda falls off when the entire game becomes mazes though

the cool part is this maze dungeon has all of xerd's magic armor pieces scattered throughout it and you need all of them to get his magic sword

also this game has a part where you just are expected to find a tiny island in the middle of nowhere. you are not given any directions. trying to find it without a guide means like. an hour of wandering an ocean with no landmarks

I no longer remember FFXIII's plot because they have cutscene skip. Which is different from Yaklad 8 where I never knew the plot because they have cutscene skip.

Barudak actually just wants to play dungeon crawlers but he ran out of those so now he plays other RPGs and ignores the plot oh yeah that reminds me, go play Path of the Abyss, it's a cool low-budget dungeon RPG where you can freely build a party and then send them out to die a lot. It's machine translated but it's comprehensible enough and the dev is planning to get a real translation done eventually Thuryl fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Feb 7, 2024 |

the last dungeon is insane because your final party member is your mother in law, who has infinite party healing magic. group heals resurrect dead party members. if you make sure your wife has an abundance of her own group heal you literally cannot die.

unfortunately i think xerd hits its peak at the whole giving birth to xerd and carrying baby xerd over to a magic spring to turn him into an adult so he can fight the demon lord with you, bit. there's one funny bit after that where you kill an impostor king and if you talk to the gate guards afterwards they're like "new king wanted" like they're advertising a job position. but mostly the game loses its weirder energy past that and just becomes a bad gameboy rpg
