Yeah I really couldn't care less at this juncture. Maybe the third raid will go off the rails to a crazy extent and salvage it all but it's pretty boring in a narrative sense so far.

I'm confused by the resurgence of people saying we arent actually connected to Azem at all...Wasn't that basically confirmed already?

Oh yeah, obviously we aren't literally Azem but people seem to like deny any connection at all which was wild to me around the net.

The OG nier had way better gameplay than Automata because at least it didn't pretend to be a lovely character action game. It was still not good but at least wasted less of your time.

You can just emulate the old western version at this point at least. It'll be nice to play Replicant in english for the first time.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Not really. When asks why he does something he literally just shrugs and says he's tempered. That's the only thing ever said on the topic. Sorry, should have quoted the post since yours wasn't there when I hit submit, I meant I thought it was pretty explicit that emet wasn't mind controlled.

The WoL had magical chosen one protagonist powers from the getgo. I don't see what the Azem reveal changes about this. You will never a nameless mudfarmer.

Cleretic posted:My theory on Emet saying he's tempered: remember that Emet is a bastard man who doesn't care about 'lesser' beings than him. He probably doesn't really care that our definition of 'tempering' is far more total than his, and he didn't go into any detail. To him, 'being tempered' might mean 'I hear an angry voice of my god in the back of my mind but I can mostly tune it out', and he probably doesn't see the difference betweeen that and a mortal's problem of 'my entire will and personhood was subsumed by a parody of a god that until now I did not believe in'. You do realize that Emet saying all that poo poo about how he doesn't care about lesser beings wasn't like..Actually how he truly felt, right?

Blows my mind that people are so opposed to depth or nuanced characterization that they just plug their ears and yell fascist anytime Gaius comes up.

Oh he absolutely is a fascist but there's more to him and that's why he's interesting. When people just go "hes fash end of story." and treat any examination of what makes him tic as apologia or whatever it's a huge disservice to the story.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:This is true and he is an interesting character but I still hope the story grinds him down into a tiny nub and gives him no catharsis or relief. Yeah yeah I'm sure he's sad about the adopted kids gooping themselves but no one in the plot has stopped to point out how hosed up it is he basically collected orphans who's parents he had murdered through his own military campaigns. I'm sure he's got feelings for them but like everything else this guy has ever believed in the entire thing is rotten to its absolute core and he just cannot make that final step to realizing it, much as he clings to the notion that the ideals of garlemald having anything worth holding on to. It's what makes him a compelling and tragic figure and its also why they shouldn't give him an inch. Oh I'm not really opposed to him getting owned or anything. The way people gleefully say his kids deserve to be murdered because "no quarter for the family of fash" poo poo that comes up all the time just makes me really uncomfortable. I remember when last patch dropped multiple people were mad they couldn't bash Allie's skull in and how she "chose this life, she deserves no forgiveness" ...It's loving creepy!

She's also a tool. If you want to go that route that she murdered everyone (I don't really agree with that framing) you're better off pinning the blame on Venat and co. She was doing exactly what she was created for, she couldn't just say "no" to fighting Zodiark or whatever.

sexpig by night posted:he did but him getting instantly accepted into the resistance felt...forced to me. Like if it was just 'wow...this was some poo poo huh, WoL? Welp, I'm gonna go back to wandering and try to sort this poo poo out' and hell even give him a 'I don't forgive you, but thank you' moment too and I'm down, but having it just instantly transition to 'and we now trust you implicitly' was a bit much. Remember he had been paling around with that crew of his for a while, I think them giving the thumbs up to the others about him is probably good enough for most people.

multijoe posted:It doesn't though. The Garlean empire is a classically imperialist empire in the shape of Rome or the British empire and Zenos is just a nihilist who doesn't believe in anything past the next combat high. Neither have the characteristics that distinguish modern fascism from any other type of expansionist empire through history and it just leads to people making interminable self-righteous tracts about what good anti-fascists they are for wanting to see every Garlean launched into space or whatever The fact that people have convinced themselves that playing this game is revolutionary praxis never ceases to astound me.

It was really weird since Varis never came across as an idiot to me in the limited screen time he got prior and the first bit of that scene is really good and then he goes completely off the rails but not in a way that seemed logically consistent with what we were shown before.

Ironslave posted:I think the whole point of that arc is that Gaius finds himself looking into the face of himself--literally in one case, with the Emerald Weapon. Valens is doing what Gaius did, to achieve the same things Gaius wanted to do. Right down to adopting war orphans. The only difference in what they were doing is in the why, and the point Gaius ends up facing and acknowledging by the end of it is that the why of it isn't enough, and was never enough to justify or excuse it. That the children he lost are the same children lost to every war. Gaius went Rogue cuz everyone else wanted to drop a big ol rock onto Eorzea and murderize everyone, not because he was too conquest hungry. The Livia stuff was rejected in the Weapon storyline, she wanted his love and he never gave it.

Sharkopath posted:Instead of simply villains the Bozjan legion are people who have directly benefited from an egalitarian reform of their society that gave them advantage and opportunity they never would have gotten in the much more stratified and aristocratic social structure the empire replaced, and because of it are fiercely loyal to the new regime and as they continually lose ground are getting more and more desperate to stop what in their eyes are a blueblooded nobility intent on overthrowing it all and replacing it with the old way. It's a really cool story, much more nuanced than most games would have done with the situation.

drat...Can't believe that a group of people who saw their lives improve significantly under Garlean rule compared to the awful stratified society of old bozja fought tooth and nail against people trying to bring it back. Surely there's no commentary or deeper meaning to this struggle.
