BravestOfTheLamps posted:I love that the world has talking animal-human-hybrids and that it's just a thing. Its really great that way but I dont think it was going to be anything really, a lot of other things have 'abnormal' things for no real plot reason. I think it's nice and helps give the world certain uniqueness.

Its retractable. Basically a giant switchblade, except the blade just extends outwards rather than emerging from a sheath.

Pesky Splinter posted:What's great so about this game, is they're not simply recoloured-hue enemies - they have actual texture, and cosmetic differences. Like, they put actual effort into a recoloured enemy that you see once, and will probably not notice the differences of. That's the same thing that they did for FF12. More games should do that since the hardest parts of modelling is the animation and a remodel that reuses a skeleton is infinitely easier than making a whole new model that you have to rig all over again. All it takes is good planning really, go through all the concept designs first, rig one skeleton that can apply to all models, selectively turn off bones that arent modeled over and bam youre done.

Bufuman posted:I'd argue that Zidane helps the group more than Vaan ever did. Zidane's wits and quick thinking have helped the group out several times, and he's certainly done his share of leadership. One might even argue that he was responsible for getting this journey off the ground in the first place, way back at the Evil Forest; without him, Steiner and/or Vivi might have been killed by the cage plants (either in battle or by their lethal little spore trick), and Dagger certainly would have died as well. And even if the three of them had gotten out of the forest by some miracle, it was Zidane who saved the party's bacon in the Ice Caverns. The main character of the game does not always have to be the one that the plot centers on, and Zidane serves admirably as a viewpoint character because he meshes with the story and team well. Vaan's purpose was to ground Ashe and tone down her lust of revenge, both of them having experienced loss in the invasion of Rabanastre. Otherwise she would have nuked Archadia and completely went with the occuria's plans. Then again it could have easily have been Reddas if he joined before Giruvegan.

Endorph posted:the fact that it's called the mist continent probably means there's a lot of mist near the continent, which'd make sailing next to impossible. even if you get out, you'd ram yourself into some rocks on the return trip. Nah mist is the magical stuff in the air. Free floating mana. The concept is also used in the Ivalice games but there heavy mist actually stops airships rather than fuels them.

Weeble posted:The Mist is obviously Mako, refined from the Lifestream at the bottom of the tree, which is actually just a giant Mako Reactor. Also, the descent to the bottom of the tree has always made me think of descending the crater to the core of the planet. Probably intentional given all the other homages and references to FFs past in the game. the 'Earth as a Living Being' was an idea very close to the SE writers' hearts at this time. So much so that they reused it for ff7, ff9 and Spirits Within. I also think some spinoffs had this as well.

Schwartzcough posted:There is no record of them nuking anyone with the nethicite. They gave three stones to Raithwall, but it doesn't sound like he ever used them. Nabudis was nuked by the Empire. Raithwall is hailed as a great leader and unifier of nations. So the last "pawn" of the Occuria brought on unparalleled peace and prosperity. History is written by the victors, though. Who's to say Raithwall didnt pull off a sky fortress bahamut or Nabudis (multiple times even) and time or secrecy just wiped away those deeds? And I'm willing to accept that Matsuno thought of that because Matsuno loves his historical drama. Hell parts of the story of ff12 are narrated by Marquis Ondore acting as a historian. The occuria are, by role, manipulators, or at best kingmakers, So they could be saying whatever to get Ashe in line. That Venat went rogue and leaked nethicite info helps their deceptions greatly.

Theyre not fleshed out in any way that definitely paints them as benevolent, or malevolent for that matter. What is known is that they do give out WMDs to people who suit their purposes, whatever those may be. Raithwall wasnt even the first to be offered, the Garif were. So what we can do is speculate and doubt certain things based on how they are presented or delivered. If you are willing to accept Revenant wings they sealed off an entire race because they told them to gently caress off. And yes, WMDs are bad. You can also say hume supremacy was guaranteed by the occuria when they helped Raithwall out. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Sep 4, 2016 |

The four guardians are themed on the recurring four elemental fiends thing that happens in quite a few FFs. (Off the top of my head: 1, 4 and quite a few spinoffs) Specifically these The wind guardian is a bit of a stretch sonce its not multi headed but its still a dragon witha a long rear end neck so that counts for something.
