Good aspects of the Compilation

[Lord Noctis]

Fanfiction isn't always about drinking spirit orgasms in the flower field.

Did somebody say it was?

 

[Ite]

Hell, I write fanfiction and I'll concede that a majority of it is.

 

[Lord Noctis]

I write fanfiction too, and I never really noticed anything like that, at least not on a large scale.

Fans are good at having neat ideas, terrible at executing them properly.

Just like Square Enix!

 

[Max Caulfield]

Just like Square Enix!

The sad thing is, they aren't fans. They're the creators.

 

[Lord Noctis]

Well, this has taken a depressing turn.

Good aspects of the Compilation, anyone?

 

[Makoeyes987]

Regardless of whether or not it was necessary, or just fanservice, the Compilation has given us some truly memorable moments that were depicted or executed quite awesomely. Zack's final stand against the Shinra army with the DMW, Cloud's final confrontation with Sephiroth in ACC, Tifa's fight with Loz, the talk with Marlene Cloud had...

Why is fan service a bad thing? Isn't that Square Enix's business?

 

[Makoeyes987]

Fan service is good in healthy doses, coupled with tangible out from the authors towards narrative consistency and conclusion.

I agree too many people think of fan service as a bad thing; its a knee jerk reaction. If something is entirely that however, then you run into problems. Because it'll just be hollow.

Tifa's fight with Loz is terrible. I've seen better animation in 3d animated films long before AC, and that hasn't changed. They clearly suck at directing any action scene that doesn't involve swords or guns.

The only real memorable moments in AC are Cloud's fight with Sefiros and the party gang raping Bahamut.

No.

 

[Max Payne]

Absolutely.

 

[Lord Noctis]

AC/C has more than that. Cloud's discussion with Marlene when he returns her to the bar. That one dude dying from geostigma in the alley. Reno and Rude's conversation at Healin' Lodge. And finally the part where Aerith calls everyone. Seriously, nobody can forget something that creepy.

 

[Max Payne]

meh.

Mediocre film is mediocre

Dude, GTFO of the "Good Aspects of the Compilation." You're killing the mood.

 

[Max Payne]

no.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I refute it thus:

This would have been so much more effective if I could have got it to embed, and then Atem did it for me! Thanks!

 

[Max Payne]

ok whatever

baww opinions

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

As expected, my final argument proved both definitive and conclusive.

 

[Max Payne]

It proved frustrating and nonsensical so I cba

 

[Tetsujin]

GTFO with the Marlene / Cloud scene. Nobody will remember the movie for that, and you know it.

Nobody except the people who actually saw more out of ACC besides the fight scenes.
