Still The Real [Final Fantasy Thread]

What am I to do with threads that betray me but show them death?

Blackjack

I maintain that if you think Shiva Bike is cool, then you are a terrible person.

smeej

RPGs are fundamentaly improved by the inclusion of motorcycles.

cj iwakura

Except that's the wussiest fiend. Bad example.

Fuzz

wait, Shiva lesbian motorcycles?

Ranadiel

Not just lesbians - sisters! The Shiva Summon is actually two idential female Eidelons which after you obtain them, form a motorcycle by locking their bodies together in what can only be described as scissoring.

Please.. please let this be true.

Renzo

Yeah. It's one of the first things shown off in videos from 4 years ago.

Ranadiel

Also, when you summon Odin he can apparently fight alongside Lightning, or turn into a horse and she rides him for an attack.

Isn't that how all of them work?

Like, first you summon them as a separate entity, then for their "limit break" they go into vehicle mode and you ride around on them for a big super ultimate attack.

It is true.

And it is fucking ridiculous, and there is nothing good or positive about it.

Good question. I'm not sure to be honest. I think that it might have some novelty value to it if they all turned into some vehicle that pumped the summoner stats and abilities while they rode it, or transformed into a weapon of some kind that dealt a devestating attack. I don't have too much info on the other summons in the game though.

Lesbo-sister biker chicks may be completely gratiutous, but perhaps we're not looking at it in the right way. Maybe the Eidelons only transform into things based on what their summoners desire.

For example, Lightning enjoys fighting, but is also a girl, so it would make sense that Odin starts out as a badass warrior but can also turn into a pretty pony. Snow on the other hand is a typical alpha male who not only likes motorcycles, but gets turned on by the idea of two hot(cold?) chicks doing each other. In a moment of pure genius, he manages to combine the two concepts into the sluttiest chopper ever imagined.

According to a few people I've talked to, yes, the FFXIV International Alpha invites started going out today.

Hope nothing. Vanille gets a giant, turret-armed war mech.

0blique

Hmmm, it seems they keep making the summon animations more and more elaborate each time. I wouldn't be surprised if, in a future game, you spend 20 minutes fighting a boss battle, with 19 minutes just summon animations.

yeah, no kidding

there's no way to explain that

Spoiler:

there absolutely is a way to explain that

Ranadiel

I don't mind elaborate summon animations, so long as there's an in-game option to toggle them on and off.

Also anything can be explained. Perhaps Vanille likes cute animals, but also likes to blow things up.

I uh, loved X-2's incredible amount of camp to death, and yet I'm thinking XIII is way too silly for me, to the point I actually don't want to get it now. Is that odd?

This thread is already dead.

What just happened there? That's clearly Kefka, but who is the other guy? It's not Sabin, is it?

Hint: who in the game has that hair color?

Just looked up the Shiva summon. Wasn't as hot as I imagined it..

Hahaha yes, it's an incredibly manly looking Terra. You can see she's wearing a female chestpiece and she has the same hair.

I recognized the FotNS reference, just couldn't tell who the other person in the pic was.

Professor Snugglesworth

The text reads "Vanish+Doom" by the way, in reference to the instant kill glitch.

Thus, the death that you are of, already.

Editing the original post but quoting this so my stupidity is perserved

Having to pay for Yojimbo for his attacks makes complete sense, because he is a samurai. Traditionally, they were warriors who expected to be paid for their talent.

Eh, mercenary, sure. But Samurai weren't swords for hire.

Samurai in service to a clan were typically paid in rice, with those serving territorial lords also being granted land.

No they weren't

That's what ronin were

Try again

Ranadiel

Then he's a ronin~

Edit: Actually, the term Yojimbo literally means "bodyguard" in japanese, so again, it would make sense for him to demand payment for his services.
