    Beat All the Bravest. Made a spam Twitter account to max out party size and I'm also grinding out the equipment drops. With the microtransactions, forced "social integration", slot machine DLC, and so on, it's like they were doing a BINGO card of most hated gaming tropes. Too bad too, the writing is affectionate and clever and the game is fun as a distraction.

    Wakka's great for being the big dumb guy who's world view gets shattered.
    Yo, the previous Grand Summoner's wife was Al Bhed and you're guarding her daughter. Surprise, the temples are filled with forbidden machina. Guess what, the entire governing body of Spira is made up of dead dudes. Go figure, the pilgrimage is a fucking sham.

    Less racism and more a victim of the faith he has been indoctrinated with. He wises up fairly quickly (perhaps not quickly enough) when we learn what type of wackadoos the priests devote to Yevon are.

    What the whaaaaaaaa-

    Wonder if there's voice acting.

    Also, tall bondage Rydia kind of creeps me out.
    Ahem. It's basically just her DS model with a different skin. Why the big deal?

    because the different skin is a fucking bondage outfit.

    I don't mean to go off on a tangent here, but would you rather they used this?

    Yeah, I know Rydia's AY outfit was a bit. . . out there, but that's the artist's deal. But hey, After Years was questionable in many respects.

    I like After Years. It has insane amounts of party choices and a truly badass Edward.

    Yuna's a really well written character with a shitty voice actor.

    I actually think Tidus is also an interesting character and he has a great arc where he realizes what a little shit he is and slowly goes "Wow I am a little shit." I hated him at first but slowly grew to like him. He also suffered from bad VA issues, but not as bad as Yuna...

    Did they redo the VA for the HD versions? I thought Tidus had a different VA in that trailer, but...

    I apparently missed this new outfit. The one I saw was not nearly ITALICS level of bad. Can you share?

    Well, since they have to do a bit more VA work for the expansion content (god, I hope we're getting the expansion content) -- that means maybe... maybe they'll redo "the laugh", right?

    Yeeeeeah. Except they'll probably just do what they did for Kingdom hearts Final mix, and not voice act the new content.

    I refuse to say any character that has a scene involving them "practicing how to laugh" is well written :P (edit: haha, I didn't even see all the replies above me)

    In general though, I have a hard time saying pretty much any Final Fantasy after 6 (or maybe 7) is well written (possible exception for 9, but it does have some moments). Most are still fun, but the stories are crazysauce and largely nonsensical.

    Speaking of nonsense, new Lightning Returns trailer!

    Correct me if I'm wrong about FF XIII-2's story as I never came remotely close to finishing it but I was under the impression that Caius got what he wanted so he should be a lot less emo this time around.

    FF3 isn't great so I didn't bother linking it, but probably just as easily available online.

    What exactly is this game? It looks like they removed the party aspect so you're just Lightning and then added FFX-2's Dress Sphere system for switching jobs. Have they changed the battle system, or is it still pretty much FFXIII's but with 1 person?

    My guess is that it will be similar to the FFXIII-2 dlc where you only played as lightning, who had a specialized version of each class that she could jump to really quickly.

    Also, I'm at least partially interested in Caius being back, is he is probably one of the most well-done villians for a FF game in quite awhile, and is well executed.

  • Vincent GraysonVincent Grayson Frederick, MDRegistered User regular
    I'm waiting for the reveal that this game actually contains every single outfit for every single FF character, male or female, from the entire series.

    I should add that I'm already a little disappointed FFXIV doesn't have a lot more iconic outfits.

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    ...Man...I'm pretty sure they're probably only going to stick to FF7 outfits.

    But if would love if Lightning got Squall's outfit.

    This is all leading up to a DLC adventure where Lightning dresses up as your favorite FFVII character and then visits a cosplay convention where her mission is to beat up all the bad Lightning cosplayers, right?

    And there's, like, a Pokemon Snap element, so you try to get the best action shots of Lightning slicing some dude in a pink wig?
