The Chocobo sidequest was the centerpiece of most of the sidequests in FFVII. You couldn't beat the Weapons without all the rare Materia.

Oh yeah, and no Overworld means no WEAPONS.

Yeah, everything was shiney and had JJ Abrams lenseflares.

And you KNOW they are gonna turn Cloud into the whiney emo faggot that all the FFVIII fans and everyone who played KH first thinks he is.

[pichubro]

FFXIV and XV have both Overworlds and Chocobos, they would have to censor Barret's angery blackness.

[Mario the black knight]

There is no proof that FFXV exists

Which throughtly ruins the game. Barret's Black Rage and Cid's Redneck Rage made them great. Not to mention Barret won't look nearly as much like a teddy bear wearing a marshmellow wearing the sailor suit.

Also, you know they are gonna suck ALL of the humor out of the game. Crisis Core was a dry, depressing mess with only one set of comedy missions. None of the main story had any humor. It was just a meloncholy, emo, AFI album with a battle system.

[pichubro]

They gonna give Cloud a hair swish.

And he gonna be retconned to be 18 years old.

[Mario the black knight]

Nah, 15.

He was 10 years old during the Nibelheim incident, because you know how much Japanese people love playing as kids in RPGs.

[pichubro]

Marlene is basically an adult at six years old, that's why she runs the bar and no one questions it.

[Mario the black knight]

Well, shes actually 4, so shes earning money to go to school so she can learn to be a test subject for Hojo's "experiments" by age 12.

[pichubro]

She's 4?!
I think I need to take a moment and process this information... I don't even remember conquering the monumental task of learning to tie my shoes at 4, much less know how to run a bar. hahaha Next you're gonna tell me that Barret isn't her real dad!

Hojo actually doesn't give me the pedophile vibe. More of a typical pervert vibe.

[Mario the black knight]

Yeah, remember when you talk to Dyne? Before he kills himself he says "How old is Marline now? 4?" Or something along those lines

It was written in Japan, whats the difference? The age of consent there is like 6.

[pichubro]

Hojo had a science fetish, not a children one Don Cornero is the man you are looking for for that kind of--

Oh god, they are going to re-write Aeris as a shy girl who is scared of everything and doesn't threaten Don aren't they?

[Mario the black knight]

If they even bother to include Don Cornero, I'm sure the scene won't be NEARLY as explicit as it previously was. Certainly less funny, because Square Enix doesn't do humor or fun. Besides, that entire portion of the game includes the Honeybee Inn and the Cross dressing segments. Not to mention all the ridiculous innuendo that is Sector 6 with it's condom machines and gay/transexual gym leaders. They'll probably skip over it completely.

Of COURSE they are going to, remember the kind of dud she was in Advent Children and KH2? She was like that in Crisis Core as well. They will take ALL of her feistyness away and just make her into the same half asleep, one dimensional walking plot device she was in the other games.

This game is going to make The Twin Snakes look like a faithful, point-by-point reproduction of MGS1

[pichubro]

Welllll she WAS kinda a plot device, but a neatly packaged one. I mean, if I recall correctly, they made her essentially under the premise that they wanted to kill off the white mage to shock players and thus made her really appealing?

No kidding. At least all the dialogue and most of the assets resembled MGS1. The cutscenes were just awful and the gameplay was broken by invasive mechanics. At the very least it isn't a bad game, just a Chinese knockoff version of an actual good game.

And yes, I know I was going to bed, but I have stomach pains keeping me up and I took some pills :V Will probably crash soon.

[Mario the black knight]

Well she was a character that was believeable to me. She had spunk, all the girls in FFVII did in some way, they weren't just damsels in distress. They were toughened up by the world they live in. Aeris grew up in the slums and Tifa was a martial artist. But at the same time, she can be a flower girl. And theres something kind of interesting about that, it's the flower that grew throught the cracks in the sidewalk.

Something that Square Enix couldn't capture on their best day these days.

I'm not saying Twin Snakes did anything close to a good job, I'm just saying this game will do it a billion times worse.

Sleeping is hard :niggasad:

[pichubro]

I just recalled the moment where Cloud attacks Aeris. Because of the graphics of the time, ironically Square could get away with a lot more. Not sure if woman beating would fly in 2015.

But imagining all goofy stuff with modern graphics does make me laugh though. Just imagining peoples' faces like mine who heard about the game for years not expecting humor in it and then getting some of the most silly stuff in the series like a dating sequence and giving Cloud a grenade for being a terrible soldier who will hopefully blow himself up.

[pichubro]

Red XIII in a sailor suit hahaha just remembered. God that will look probably even more stupid than it did originally xD

[pichubro]

All these people complaining about TLG makes me think they all jumped on the hype bandwagon without understanding what they were getting into. Some of them are saying they don't get what people were excited for.

Not that it helps that Ueda games are extremely hard to demo.

SE is developing a new IP and it's an RPG? What year is it?

[Mario the black knight]

OK, so I slept through a lot it looks like......what happened with KH?

[pichubro]

youtu.be/C32RjkiNtr0

Although some of the madness is lost without watching it live because there was one guy in the audience who was really loud and when Hashimoto came onto the stage he goes "and now, for a new Kingdom Hearts video" and the guy goes OH MY GOD THANK YOUUU and it turns out that it's a newly announced KH mobile game called Unchained. The crowd gives golf claps and seemed to shocked to respond. Hashimoto laughs and goes "I know what you really want" and then give us the actual KH3 footage. Massive troll.
