I'm not salty at all. You can literally summarize any story with strawman sentences. It's never a fair representation to any story.
I didn't need the whole shpeel you did this time. You can think whatever you want about the game.

When did I ever strawman? The game's opening is cliche. Extremely cliche. Having your hometown burn to the ground is RPG cliche #1.
If you want to jump on people's criticism of it, whatever, but at least have something better to say than "literally the worst." Sorry I dared speak ill of your video game with terrible localization and an extremely cliche opening.
It's okay. No harm done.
Sometimes I kinda wish I had like, a minimap. I got turned around a lot in the Midgar slums in Kislev. Other towns, like Aveh, weren't that necessary.

I did say when he draws GILGAMESH it is awesome. What more do you want?

An excuse to post more Amano art.
Post more GILGAMESH Amano art then. I won't stop you.
Why would I post art of a circus clown!

Way to talk about Kefka Palazzo.
So apparently there is going to be a mechanic in the upcoming game Final Fantasy Explorers that lets you transform in to classic past Final Fantasy characters:

I think DLC.
Might be. There's no mention of DLC in the article though and I don't read Japanese so I don't know if it is mentioned in the source.
What a tease.
I'll probably get it at some point. In other news, if they did FF7 proper in that engine it would be great. imo
But that's basically all of Amano's stuff.
Joking!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeep. That said, it could be kinda neat, if they really go for it and rep enough of the series and not just "By FF we mean 7, 8, and 10" the way Kingdom Hearts rolls.
Well Onion Knight from Final Fantasy III is there, so I think they are trying to represent all entries.

I don't mind. I just hope we get some VIII representation up in there. I would totally turn my party into Seifer or Squall.

The article says that when you transform into a character the music also changes (in Cloud's case to the battle theme of Final Fantasy VII). Laguna better be there.
They need to stop doing these kinds of things to FF7 and then never remake it.
That looks really good, though! It'll probably be DLC.

Ok... so I think that was one of the dumbest endings I've ever seen.....
Which game?

FF XIII-2, but I didn't know I had to purchase DLC to get the whole story. Fuck that, I just read what happened in Lightning's DLC.
Oh yeah it's dumb.
I thought you meant VIII and I was like "but VIII's ending is so good
"I don't even remember XIII-2's ending; it must have been insignificant. I liked the game, though!
Oh yeah it's dumb.

I think FFVIII's ending is my favorite! X is also up there. A lot of FF endings are just bizarre, but VIII's was really satisfying!
Yes
I kinda hope they improve the lip sync. I won't be surprised if they don't, but I hope they do. There are a lot of tweaks like that I hope the game got done to it.
Second analogue stick alone makes it worth it, though.

I hope they add in all the cut content otherwise I see little reason to pump $60 or more into a game I've already played 50 times.

I think you are already lost with this trophy nonsense.

So Corvo, any thoughts on FF Explorers?
I really, really hope it turns out to be the next Crystal Chronicles but after Bravely Default my ability to expect nice things from this company is being kept on life support in a freezer.

Oh it's good.
It's just the scenario writer likes his world reset's a little too much.
Right? I just love how VIII's ending is so emotional. You've got your slightly sad moments that still end up happy(Laguna at Raines grave and Seifer more than likely not allowed into Garden) and the music that plays throughout the whole thing is fantastic. The camera ending part and it's lead into the kiss makes me :') every time.
which half

The half starring Onions.
The most ironic part of Bravely Default is that the better her character got, the worse the game got.
You guys are making me nervous! I'm only at the Temple of Fire and but I love Bravely Default so far! I didn't like the job systems in FFIII and FFV, so I'm surprised I love the one in BD so much.
Aaa yes! It was very bittersweet, and wrapped up the game nicely!

I think I'm gaining more of an appreciation for Nubou Umetsu's work. Don't know what it is, but this last listen through of VII's soundtrack was much more enjoyable than the last time.
Omg, have you guys seen this?
Right when I move out of London, of course.
A new recording. A new experience.
A New World: intimate music from FINAL FANTASY
Live in London
Available soon at ffnewworld.com
From AWR Music Productions, producers of the internationally acclaimed concert tour Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY, comes an entirely new FINAL FANTASY musical experience: A New World: intimate music from FINAL FANTASY, Live in London.
The 2014 full length release Live in London captures the premiere performances of this revelatory musical journey. With over 60 minutes of music and a virtually all-new repertoire full of surprises, excitement and beauty, A New World delivers a bold and captivating program for FINAL FANTASY music lovers. Using small groups of instrumentalists, these pieces bring the listener inside the music, laying bare all the detail and richness in these musical treasures.
Recorded at LSO St. Lukes by Abbey Road Studios Mobile in 24 bit, 96 khz resolution, this high definition audio recording features stellar performances by an ensemble of world-class musicians, including the Schallplattenkritik Award-nominated Navarra String Quartet, Steinway Piano Competition-winner Benyamin Nuss (well known to FINAL FANTASY fans for his performances as part of the Distant Worlds concerts and his solo recording of Uematsu compositions), conductor and violinist Arnie Roth, and composer and keyboard soloist Nobuo Uematsu.

Well darn, gonna have to keep my eyes on this.
For the foreseeable future you have only good things to look forward to. The Earth Crystal Quest is probably the best part of the entire game. Please let the thread know when you reach Chapter 5, though, because we will have advice on how to avoid unnecessary pain.
Oh, good! Will do!
Even if the second half of the game is terrible, I love the first half and definitely got my money's worth already! BD does the job system well in that it deosn't penalize you for wanting to switch your party around to try out new jobs!
And, of course, the random encounter and experience setting! I've been so spoiled by this; I recently finished replaying FFVII and it felt like there was a random battle every two feet when I really didn't want them. :X
