Just wanted to throw in my couple of cents and say I'm adoring this LP. Keep it up!

Yeah, Uematsu is famous for that sort of stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD21CBN6KkE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bueIQ_R6i2I

When you have to come up with hundreds of new themes for each game, not letting your influences show would be stranger than showing them.

Being 32 gives me a unique perspective on life. This is what we old people have to tell ourselves to stop from weeping for our lost youths, anyway.

[Plavski, I'm very sorry but a stupid thing happened and your post was a casualty. I think it's Awful App's fault. Edit is not quote. -fedule] Somebody fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Lol. Anyway, my post was basically saying that while Treno is nice music, 2 hours of it solidly looping while you're 100%'ing the place drove me slowly mad. I have had nightmares where it has been the backing soundtrack. (Don't worry thread, I'm backing up this post in case anything else happens to it.)

Kanfy posted:For all its colours and funny-looking characters, FFIX is a surprisingly dark game in several ways. It certainly doesn't shy away from a whole lotta people getting killed, and the cause is almost always their fellow humanoids rather than natural disasters or wild monsters. Final Fantasy has always kinda done that. 6 had suicide, single mothers and the end of the world. In 7 you're responsible for destroying a huge chunk of Midgar and there's lots of stuff about death and sacrifice. In 8 you listen to love songs and grow up in the same orphanage as every other character with a speaking role and... well 8 is a bit of a mess. A lot of this stuff tends to blur into one big smudge when you're playing the same game for 60-odd hours. But I think the darkness has always been there, no matter how many chocobos you ride at the Golden Saucer, or Octopus-based operas you perform.

I've always really, really loved the design of Atomos. As a kid I got an app that extracted the FMVs and I used to watch that cutscene over and over. There was something so existential about the destruction of Lindblum that really struck home.

I always felt that Lani's shirt was the hardest worker in the game. Japanese art directors have weird ideas about the female form.

That detail is one of those relatively minor things that is so cool. You're seeing how she has all this power already and you're really excited to use the spells. Then they get taken away from her and you actually sort of feel her loss. When you get them back it's more important because you've already been excited for them. Really clever design, imo. It smacks of Metroidvania, but not in an obnoxious *wink wink* way. It feels part of the narrative.

Rarity posted:I feel like Morrison is a case of wasted potential. They could have done more with him as a character but he enters the story too late to get enough moments to shine. They should have found ways to intertwine him more with what's been going on so far even if his face turn stays as late as it is I wonder if that's actually a reference? There were plenty of characters who appeared way too late in old Final Fantasy games and never had much in the way of character development - Gau, Mog, Vincent, Irvine etc.

NikkolasKing posted:I'm afraid my favorite FF Princess is Ashe. Dagger doesn't quite measure up to her in my opinion. But that's not a slight against Garnet since Ashe is possibly my favorite FF main character. Those couple of hours give Eiko ridiculously huge amounts of plot development and she already becomes essential to the story. Amarant could never join and you'd never miss him.

Asparagus32 posted:Kuja's reasoning for going to Mount Gulug will be made (somewhat) clearer as the story progresses. Though this doesn't explain some of the glaring discrepancies (like how there's a fully furnished and well preserved room/prison for Hilda, if the place had been sealed for centuries and Kuja only arrived shortly before the party did, so it's doubtful he had the time to set it up this way). She brought it herself

Kinda sad this LP is coming to an end. It's been a year and a half of nostalgia for one of my very favourite games. I don't have the time to replay it (for the seventh time), but seeing it here regularly brings me back many good memories. It's been a really great LP so far, and I'm very happy you brought it back, Mega64; you've done the game justice.

NikkolasKing posted:But best FF final boss theme is a tough one. Even tougher if we don't just limit it to the Uematsu FF's. (Hello "Heart of Chaos" from XIII-2. Like Dark Messenger, it's much better than the "real" final boss theme) It's Dancing Mad. Nothing else can top it.
