Oh poo poo I forgot this came out already.

Welp, since it isn't available on PC yet I will just experience this game the same way I did the original, through an awesome Elentor LP!

So, confession time: I never actually played the original, and I only experienced it through the LP.

I'm actually playing along this time, so I'm really excited to see how it goes!

that's ok, that was my experience with the original too. Actually I did play the PC port and got up to the marching minigame and I just couldn't get any further because my 2009 laptop couldn't figure out the right video card equivalency to not have the game stutter

oh, never read to me as armour the same as what other characters were wearing but then maybe I just wasn't paying attention in the original.

just looks kind of goofy when the Shinra people have firearms and Barret has an M134 attached to his arm :shrug:

Nowhere near the stupidest thing that a woman has worn in a Final Fantasy game.

I mean if this is the tip of the iceberg at least I know there's more to come. Besides, it's not the fact that a woman is wearing it, I'd think it looks stupid if Cloud was wearing it too.

Actually I don't think it would stick out to me like it is if all the AVALANCHE members were rocking something similar, except Cloud because he's too cool :jerkbag:

I think it's the Ce'Nedra effect.
,
For those who don't know, in David Edding's fantasy series, The Belgariad: Ce'Nedra was a half-dryad queen who found herself having to rally the troops while her husband was off sneaking into enemy territory on an heroic mission. Unfortunately, due to her dryad blood, she looked younger then she was and found it hard to impress anyone. So she commissioned a big, fancy, light-weight, impractical, and completely useless suit of armor, with yes, boob-plate(to make up for the fact she really didn't have boobs). She had to argue hard and fast to get the blacksmith to even make it, because it was a totally useless design.

But it helped her look more like a warrior queen, so her inspiring speeches worked better.

jesus I was finishing that series (person I was seeing at the time REALLY loved it and gave me the two collected books to read) when Elentor's original LP was starting, loving full circle up in this thread

Jesse's breastplate just means she keeps up with fashion. This Tom Ford piece was big a few months back:





yours for only $15,000.

:eyepop: ok I take back what I said about Jessie's plate

great to hear you're doing good, it took us 4 years to do the original, no reason to think this won't also be worth it with time

I feel like that is something that would work in an alternate universe, where something like that wouldn't result in a bunch of stupid gotcha takes on social media about Sony making you feel bad for just playing a game.

But we live in the dumb timeline, so Sony has to reassure you right at the outset that don't feel bad, the bad guys were behind it the whole time

Does this means FFVIIR will end with the reveal that Marlene is telling the story to her therapist Dr S. Ephirot who will psychoanalyze Cloud based on how many porno mags he picked up?

I'd play that game
