Zoe posted:And was Luna's brother really just executed off camera after being included in cut scenes where the plot gestured ineptly in the direction of him mattering somehow? Its the same thing that happened the last time the radio told you someone died (Noct and Luna after the most complicated attempt to get on a boat since loving Operation Overlord.) I think its just bad translation this time, since the newspaper says he's sentenced to capital punishment. I mean I'd assume the Evil Empire would mean about 1/10th of a second between sentence and execution, but maybe they have a good and robust justice system with multiple judicial reviews and appeals before execution?

The Skeleton King posted:Is this a joke? "We are pets" is the most incomprehensible summation of the most incomprehensible plot I have ever seen. I don't think anyone who worked on 13 ever knew what the plot was. Because that isn't ~~DEEP~~ and ~~NUANCED~~ and suitable for 20 page internet essays. Though then again Bitch Took My Skull is a good enough plot, so what do I know?

I think its during Noctus's running around the Umbrella Lab, so for you its obviously lost forever if I'm right. The shocking truth of the Demons origin and why the nights are getting longer. It's loving dumb even for this game. Finally, if you played the game before the Gladio side was released, the starting screen gives an option to replay this sequence. After the touching "I hear Noct!" and they run to him, it goes to a "Go Play Episode Gladio!" splash screen.

Zenostein posted:One showed up in that assassin dlc, apparently. All these people that should've been antagonists, and they barely exist. If you mean Loqi he's the first dumb jerk you blew up but is still somehow alive. He's still alive after the second time you blow him up too? I can't even remember if they've done that quest yet. But if they haven't its the only thing I will try and goad them into doing, because it is the only thing that may redeem the game a little bit. I wasn't taking my own sarcastic advice to the person who decided to go down the abyss to find proof of the stupid demon twist and peeked at a couple pages (Loqi and Cor since they were both there and since they do basically nothing on screen should have short articles) and they don't say. Maybe if you look at a map if you zoom in enough you'll be able to read a place name in the "Not the Latin Alphabet, why do you spread this libel?" Fantasy character script you can find it?

Picnic Princess posted:I hate that. Imagine if there were some clever allusions to it throughout the rest of the game. Imagine it all clicking in at the reveal. I can think of one (1) example of what you said. In the AssCreed thing, a temporary and fleeting event. Noct : "gently caress those loving dumb and stupid evil empty hollow scum buckets and all that are like them, those inhuman vile blights upon the world!" Prompto: "Yeah..." Noct: "What? Is something wrong?" Prompto: "No, its just like you said" Every other instance of fighting them in the base game *headshot* *headshot* *gigantic circularsaw through a soldier's torso* "Yeah!

Cerebral Bore posted:The trolling is just him having a grand ol' time. Honestly, Chancellor Hobo being an rear end in a top hat because these jerks deserve it would be the best plot resolution. Ardyn is far and away the best character in this game. It may or may not be because he has the least screentime aside from Emperor Gollum, Captain Rival, the other Imperial guy and Professor Toadlicker.

^covers most of it, but the last part about going to Chancellor Dracula's Inverted Umbrella Lab also includes the part where Our Rival who we saw all of once face to face and never fought finally decided that we Were Worthy and was going to give us The Sword of Dad but got shived by Niel Gaiman wearing a Noct mask. Also demons are actually people with A Fantasy Bacterial Infection, the Emperor is basically Gollum and wanted the crystal for the sake of having it, even though he could do gently caress all with it besides chain it up. Then we fought Our Rival after his shiv wound got infected with demons.

Bocc Kob posted:It's pretty pointless though, because each character only ever portrays their default "emotion" regardless of what's happening around them. Could you imagine what the voice direction was like while they were recording this? "British?"  "That's not an emotion, that's an accent."  "Lamp?" "That's a thing, it's right behind me. You've been looking at it for the last 4 minutes." "You've come to the end of the known world, you break down and weep because there are no more recipes to come up with." "That... that's okay. Fine, I'll go with that."

Four bros go driving around. Hear rumors about a dead body and go and find it. Or, if you want me to be more serious, have the ancestral weapons be more plot relevant besides "quickly forgotten macguffin" Like, I don't know, you need X-many of them to jab into a given summon jerk to make them obey you, then wreck the poo poo out of the Empire. If you don't have all the weapons you get the neutral ending where congrats, revenge is had and you go back home as king. If you did have all the weapons, I dunno, maybe Bahamut shows up, considers you're too powerful and then you have to fight him as the optional superboss for the I am not entirely sure how you can consider the good ending to be the one that results in you subjecting yourself to more FFXV. e: or have Magic Time Dog more relevant besides "go back to wrap up sidequests rather than continue being in Venice or Mordor" Maybe feed him scooby snacks until he's able to time warp you back to when the invasion happened and save King Dad and the world.

grandalt posted:Um, I think I remember something about saying about if Arden is defeated the crystal could bring the sun back. So, its not pointless to go after that if that's right. In fact, that would be the only way to save the world at this point. I think its mostly just stated that "you need to use all that you learned(?) and the strength (?) you've gained from hovering in the void to power up the crystal." The only reason Ardyn factors into it is because he's got the crystal and being a demon for generations means he doesn't need to poo poo anymore so you can't sneak by him and restore the light of the world while he's on the can.

coleman francis posted:The garrison sidequest was in your list of quests, you guys just missed it. Is it really only post game content? I don't think I ever did it. The garrison quest could be done during the normal faffing around the world map part of the game, I think after you started trying to be Solid Snake and fought Jiggly Dragon. I forgot all about the fact I did that quest, finished the game, went back in time and suddenly Cindy asks if I want to use the macguffin plot coupon I had no idea I got to do the thing.

So when the Shenmue 2 LP was going on a couple years ago, I thought that someone said that the T40s footage was lost. Then I got up off my rear end (well, shifted my eyes to the right on youtube, lets not be too hasty) and saw that the channel was still up and that the first shenmue and other stuff was up. So RIP me I guess as I correct this mistake.

GhostofJohnMuir posted:so something i've been wondering. when they start talking about how nights are lasting longer and has been for some time, is that in anyway reflected by the actual day/night cycle? cause it would be kind of neat if they had slowly had the length of the night cycle increase as you hit story checkpoints before the reveal of what was going on As Bruceski said, yes there is. It kind of starts slow and maybe subconsciously noticeable when you're in boy band road trip mode. Then when they lay it out explicitly on the train, the of course gently caress it up. Would have been neat if when you were fighting demons on the train and thinking "this tunnel will eventually end, we know its still light out, so once I see daylight the demons will all die! Wait, why is it dark out at 3pm? now the demons will eat me!" Then Leviathan's saving you would mean something. Instead somehow the demons who shouldn't be out in daylight are out in daylight and the neat set piece is just screwed up by confusion.

Oh no. I think the problem is that it was like the other forts where you need to be driving by and see a star destroyer float by before you decide you want to gently caress it up? So maybe you need to be in the regular car and not the monster truck, or auto driving rather than manual? Those are the only thoughts I can give at least with too much brain power than the game deserves.

You still die to give Gladio the bloody noodles. e: obviously as you can see that shocking event means it isn't until like 20 years later and really letting himself go before he brings himself to consider himself worthy of eating it.
