Stupid Tie-in novel's/audio dramas/OVAs for RPGs is a long standing Japanese tradition and they're always awful in the most amazing ways.

Not just for RPGs. Japanese tie-in novels for everything are awful.

Want to hear about the Kamen Rider Faiz novel that has the lead female of the series get violently raped?

You know, a novel for kids! :argh:

Shaped like a friend

The best FFX tie in thing was the audio thing that went on for like a hour that was in the vita version. I listened to all of it and was just clutching my head at how unbelievably terrible literally EVERYTHING about it was. I sat through all of it unable to stop because it just continued to get worse and worse

I feel that Tidus' scenes would be greatly improved if they had used Cam Clarke's 'whiny dork' voice for him.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Tidus definitely comes off as kind of whiny and grating initially, though he does get better. He's actually got a pretty decent character arc once the game gets going for real. The dialogue isn't FFX's strong suit but his somehow manages to usually be the least terrible, I feel.

My main issue with him is his stupid loving outfit. I don't even mind Nomura's dumb asymmetrical clothing designs most of the time, but those loving pants, good god.

Hey Matt just wanna say, there actually is a hidden affection mechanic in FFX that changes a few really minor flavor things like an overdrive animation and tiny cutscene changes. Apparently, Lulu is the character with the most possible affection points possible.
(I guess there are some spoilers on that page about stuff that happens later, nothing major though)

It kind of was. It wasn't surfaced in any mechanics and you didn't know until it happened that it was even a thing unless you had a strategy guide. It's not like you got little chimes every time you gained points or something to track on a menu.

The whole affection system in FFX is so minor that it might as well be nonexistent. 99% of people get Lulu for the snowmobile scene because of how the system plays out.

I hope Woolie doesn't forget stuff between recordings, given that so many games came out these last three months that you had to space 'em out some more.

I think he just meant the next time they do another game recording session?

Also don't pull another Undertale and grind for 10,000 gil for that one ring at that one donation thing, it's relatively worthless.
