One particular detail I liked about Edea's intro: She only lost the fight with Kamiizumi because her sword snapped, so she was given the sword that broke it. She's a dangerous little bastard.

Greyarc posted:Darn, I hadn't thought of it like that. I should've kept that screenshot in. That fight scene was difficult to show without dumping in a ton of images; it really should be watched in video form. The fight's neat to see. Edea attacks like a whirlwind and Kamiizumi just stands there, calmly defending even when Edea's doing poo poo like flipping overhead to attack from behind. Then, she charges in underneath Kamiizumi's guard, raises her sword to block the overhead strike, and her sword breaks. Any way you could provide GIFs of stuff in the game?

I do like how they established Agnes's character. She had an army of attendants looking after her as the Wind Vestal, but she quickly demonstrates she's able to fend for herself. She even tried to shoo Tiz away rather than put him in danger by accepting his help, but he just won't let go of her so she's stuck for the moment.

Greyarc posted:That pendant's shown up quite prominently before. The intro AR movie is disturbing and confusing as hell, for a lot of reasons. It's the first time the player ever sees Agnes, and she's wearing the same clothes she's dressed in for the following cutscene in which the Wind Crystal gets hosed up. The AR movie can be interpreted to represent Agnes's prayers to the crystal during its final moments, trying to call it back from the brink, which makes it particularly bothersome that she knows all her attendants are injured and dying at that very moment.

Epsilon Moonshade posted:This really surprised me when I first played - I was not expecting innuendo that strong out of a Nintendo game. I guess I'm still used to the "CENSOR ALL THE MAYBE OBJECTIONABLE THINGS" mindset that they (apparently?) used to have, like the parrot in Skies of Arcadia: Legends losing the cigar and all the pirates drinking magic stone juice instead of rum. One of the best moments in Earthbound was Everdred's death scene, which straight up made fun of all the censorship being enforced.

Blademaster_Aio posted:I actually like to believe Tiz is helping Agnes just so he can forget about the pain. Like he has to be useful to someone, for some sense of purpose since he lost everything. I always viewed Tiz as being like a puppy. He follows you everywhere regardless of whether you want him to, and regardless of how much you try to get him to bother someone else. He just won't let go

D's Journal is awesome and I'm curious as to how it'll be presented in this LP. As one other note, are we going to talk about job specialties? They're often the one thing about a job that you have to switch to that job in order to take advantage of, like the Freelancer's Late Bloomer specialty.

I'm not sure Ringabel's going to like what the future has in store for him, if it involves falling in lava and then being tortured with research chemicals for a month while all his burns presumably turn to necrosis.

I love that for Edea, going into a full rage means rounding up a group of bystanders and shouting at them until they agree to murder the offending person. People must be terrified of her back in Eternia.

I had all but forgotten one little detail about combat in the game: Almost every enemy that wears metal armor, or even just holds a metal weapon, is weak against thunder. It does make thunder kind of OP in a lot of areas, though.

Greyarc posted:With that in mind, I'm sensing the creators might have an opinion about capitalism. Final Fantasy 7 was heavy-handed as gently caress with the old-vs-new message, right down to the architecture -- outside the big cities, almost every house looks like it had been standing for close to a century, then suddenly had copper pipings and steamworks jammed through its roof and exterior walls. That's before you even get into its theme of "electrical power is literally killing the world." Pittsburgh Lambic fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Mar 14, 2017 |

Glazius posted:FFV and FFT weren't this bad, were they? Or were the sprites just too low-res? For FFV it varied, though Tetsuya Nomura's costume designs were usually pretty tame back then.

I gave the Merchant job to Agnes when I played, and gave her Knuckle Lore on top of that. Once you see her Merchant costume, you'll know why

Not sure if it's been brought up yet, but whenever characters talk about "pg" in the voiceacting it's pronounced "peeg." It's silly as hell

A jam and butter omelet would be pretty amazing if cooked right, though also pretty heavy on the stomach. A marshmallow and condensed milk risotto, well, that depends on the texture.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Yeah thats called a crepe Crepes are flour-based, not egg-based, to my knowledge. But a good point nonetheless  On a different note, is OP going to at least show off a usage of Summon Friend? The animation for it has a neat little quirk, if nothing else.

Thanks for showing off the Summon Friend. I found it disconcerting as hell when I realized it's the same goddamn pendant that you see in the AR movie, which also has one of the characters appearing through a portal if for a different reason.
