I love this game by sheer virtue of the fact that the main character is the biggest trainwreck in RPG history

Reacting with panic might instead get you enough sympathy for sidekick status. Chrono Trigger taught us guns are useless against Eldritch abominations. Girl knows her genre history

Does it count as a Tragic Backstory if the player already knows it?

Because if it’s something that’s not constantly alluded to where’s the angst? The DRAMA associated with Tragic Backstories is vital!

I actually don't think I finished this game, but I do remember Blanca never left my party unless he had to because he's The Goodest Boy

One of the many highlights is watching Yuri and Blanca become BFFs. You know Yuri would buy one of those bracelets too.

I just thought that was a thing straight guys do. They don't keep giant puppets with clothes that can barely fit over a grown woman?

Maybe Lulu just never skips leg day. If boots were a weapon option she'd Break Damage Limit by the time they left Besaid.

Tylana posted:I always feel a little bad about Zodiac personality stereotypes. Mostly because I'm an Aquarius who has most of them except the being motivated and clever in useful ways bit. :P Though as a tangent, I do find them interesting as giving people a framework for introspection. Being able to say I am like that, or I am not like that is easier than asking What Am I Like? I don't necessarily believe in them, but I do find it fun, and find it interesting that pretty much everyone I've met who actually does believe in and study the Zodiac identifies me as a Taurus within a few minutes of meeting me.

MachuPikacchu posted:I find them interesting from an anthropological point of view because oftentimes the way a person assigns personality traits to a Zodiac sign is a direct reflection of the relationships those person has had with people of that sign. One time I read a a book on how certain Zodiac signs pair up romantically, and it was obvious that the author went through a messy divorce with a Sagittarius. "A classic Sagittarius trait to watch out for is their tendency to bolt in the middle of the night with the dog you both picked out at the animal shelter downtown"

I don't remember using Lucia much. Dumb characters are fun to watch in TV and movies, but they bug me in videogames.

I used Blanca because he's a good example of a the well-rounded character done right. He doesn't have average all around stats. They're above average and he's more than capable of hanging with the big boys on either kind of offense, but not gonna be the heaviest hitter unless you load him down with every stat booster you come across, and has some nice support options. Most "well-rounders" end up either too focused on one side to do the other one effectively (Maxim in Lufia, Hiro in Lunar), strictly average in every sense of the word (Kimahri comes to mind, Nash also from Lunar), or just overpowered (Ryu from Breath of Fire III, Ness). The only other ones I can think of who were done right was Estelle from the Trails series and Ramza from Final Fantasy Tactics.

Imagine being hunted by a demon and learning it's name is Amy. Does it's true form involve pom-poms and manicured nails?

Because she took over your body at the end and now she is you and you're trapped in your own body screaming and raging on the inside and you posted this in a brief moment of control you managed to seize after years of building up willpower but no one here will take you seriously because this is Something Awful so you just cry in despair on the inside until the next time you build up that strength?

There was a regular at my old restaurant who was a complete snobby rich lady. She fit every stereotype. Small dog in the purse, tons of chunky jewelry, everything. Treated my staff like crap and insisted we pronounce her name "De-bor-a". I know it's a real name but the way she said it was awful. Anyways, every time she got takeout I yelled "pickup for Debbie!"
