    What do you think Sephiroth's childhood was like?

    Would you say Sephiroth suddenly turning evil after that revelation was in character with what we know of him prior to that? I'd think he'd want to exercise a level of self control to prove his 'destiny' wrong.

    Final Fantasy VIII hate (split from XV discussion)

    FF has always been a superb experience but I maintain that it's what it chooses to emphasize and the easy going gameplay that grabs people. The quality of the storytelling... Not so great. VII stood out in some ways. VI in a lot of ways.

    The Good and The Bad of Final Fantasy XII

    Dream FF game. Laguna clone as hero and Balthier clone as support y/n.

    Final Fantasy VIII hate (split from XV discussion)

    I admit physicality has never factored much in FF but it really did feel like space shat out Ragnarok to save them. ps. I'd prefer a title like 'was VIII really any good' or something, the title is hilarious and I love whoever made it but it feels like a haters only label. It wouldn't be bad if...

    The Good and The Bad of Final Fantasy XII

    The game just loves going under the radar with the romantic relationships. I was out of town for a few days and emulated more IZJS on the way. I'm convinced that the game won't allow me to play what I consider to be the 'canonical' Fran, even if she rocks that game like Freddie Mercury would...

    That was probably the best reversal I've gotten yet besides the Viking bathing post. I lose. But yeah I think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPn0T4ZpLKE is definitely better written by itself than all of VIII collectively. I never cry, the last time I did involved my gf getting a head injury...

    Final Fantasy XV (was Versus XIII)

    I'm glad we saw footage before he said this or else I'd think he's retarded, now we know he's just batshit insane. Good for creativity. my body is so fucking ready

    Final Fantasy XV (was Versus XIII)

    If you've ever been to London there's a lot of medieval European architecture you can still see interwoven with the buildings and tapestry, it's metropolitan but there's a definite regal finesse to it. And I like that this game has some of that. Some parts of the trailer made me feel like I lost...

    Playing Lost Odyssey. Thousand Years of Dreams should be the be all and end all of RPG plots for benchmarking quality. FFVIII was the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 of the 90s. all I'll say is >Novus >saying TV is poorly written compared to VIII spiderman.jpg

    >only making me hate FFVIII even more What does any of this have to do with the Noctis orgy? I'll rebunk the FF8 monster av guy so I can scare myself off of ever replaying VIII, but it'll be just this once. Who gives a shit about him. I don't want to play as him and I don't care about his...

    Final Fantasy VIII hate (split from XV discussion)

    As for shonen manga, the bulk of it is completely garbage and the one which most people are currently into is Shingeki no Kyojin. Most would say it's the 'only good one.' And that one deals solely with the weight and pressure of death. Furthermore, vikings had appalling living conditions and a...

    The Good and The Bad of Final Fantasy XII

    Didn't read the bulk of that yet and am just about to, plus I am quite excited to finally hear some of the original FF voice acting. But I have to say I love her dub voice a lot. Thanks to FFXII and Secret of Kells I sort of associate magically apt inhuman forest girls with foreign and strange...

    What is a Villain Sue?

    Meh, let's think from a character based perspective. How would you deal with him? He's immortal. The fact it never occurred to them that it might be more efficient to seal the bastard somewhere using a Fal'Cie or something doesn't make sense.

    Nightmare mode: Improve FFXIII thread.

    Oh there definitely needs to be more exploration. I wonder how they could have expanded upon Cocoon and let you mesh in with the citizens to see how life is there. Fighting should not be a central mechanic to practically everything, which is pleasing since XV is expanding upon stealth elements...

    Final Fantasy VIII hate (split from XV discussion)

    Chrono Trigger is the only game I've seen that's well written with time travel. My idea of good writing is stuff like FFT, Xenogears, Game of Thrones. FFVII wins out because I just have this massive hard on for Midgar and all of the characters, the music, locales, identity crisis'. And the fact...

    Physical media thrad

    Regarding game storage I like cartridges, and for them to be as small as possible. When the PS5 comes out after PS4 I'm hoping they can eschew disks in favour of Vita sized cards that get the job done. I don't think it's bad to have everything sold on small things like that that're painless and...

    Nightmare mode: Improve FFXIII thread.

    There were CC and a DoC iterations of this concept and I really loved the first trailer of FFXIII. It made me incessantly ponder how it'd be to have this game on level with that, or better characterized, or re done entirely. Complaints about how there're cooler things in the Ultimania than the...

    Improve Crisis Core Thread

    From the other thread. I really like this idea, you can still have Genesis sperging out with his literature interpretations, there'd just be more of a role for everyone to play now.
