i don't understand how anyone could think this actually happened. Cloud is stronger than every one of those bodybuilder guys, and he could have sent them flying out the window at any time if he wanted to. No raping happened. He simply tolerated being in a packed hot tub with a bunch of other guys as opposed to making a big scene over it.
bro he literally gets put in a hot tub with a bunch of naked men, says "it hurts", then the screen fades to black and he also gets mating pressed by a strong man on a couch. this same guy dresses up as a woman in the game. i hate to tell you bro, but cloud got buggered.
>all this shizz for a couple thousand and a miss
BTW 2024 is going to be extra hot, the sun goes through a 12 year period of activity and it's gonna PEAK
>new game is different because uhhhhh it just is okay!?!?
Yeah the game where the main character transforms into a giant dinosaur and Kamen Rider kicks a mountain while screaming obscenities definitely wants you to take it super seriously at all times.
It does, though. That's the problem. It does absurd and goofy things, but it carries itself as le epic movie film game, unlike FF7 which knows it's just a silly '90s JRPG with a bit of edge here and there for flavoring.
After Midgar there are simply too many moronic moments to count but it just wouldn't be the same without that stuff. I don't think it ever lingers too long on the ancillary stuff, and you're always excited when the main plot comes back to progress a little more. For a 90s JRPG I think its incredibly well paced. I don't mind random encounters but sometimes you JUST wanna explore or try to comprehend the path forward in the pre-renders and the relatively moderate encounter rate can get quite aggravating in those moments.
I don’t think it ever really does. The games title is Final FANTASY, so there’s supposed to be a lot of suspension of disbelief. If I had to point out a particularly dumb aspect that makes me question the game it’s the Super Nova attack being used more than once in the final battle. >that Sephiroth bastard blew up my sun >again
The first time they meet after the disaster, Cloud was acting as if he were catatonic. She must have realized those lies helped him cope with his unknown problems and were holding him together. Because it was such a horrible experience and she didn't have the full picture, aside from the fact that Cloud knew lots of things that only someone who was there could have known, she probably also doubted her own memories.
not quite. she doubted her recollection of events just as much as she doubted Cloud's, because his memories were so vivid and accurate. There was a good chance she was mistaken, and she didn't want to give Cloud a hard time over the subject when he clearly needed her support first and foremost.
I havent played in a while but didn't the party know that launching the huge materia with the rocket wouldn't work so they had to get the materia back so it wasn't wasted?
I thought it was solid all the way through, you're thinking of final fantasy 8. 8 was cool when it was just about a love triangle and cool kids traveling the world doing secret missions for a mercenary school, the witches and time compression orphanage stuff ruined it. Laguna was cool but also contributed to the messiness of the story.
It's honestly the most reasonable starting point into the series by far, not that this matters as the games are all totally independent things that happened to be made by Square employees.
Can someone explain to me the appeal of Final Fantasy as a franchise? Seems like every fan is a drooling moron and I don't want to -actually- think it's for morons. There's got to be some underlying appeal. What in particular about VII made people want to play it? Was it good advertising?
>Can someone explain to me the appeal of Final Fantasy as a franchise?
It has the most profound gameplay in the genre. Did you know that stone monsters can be killed by the same item that is used to heal stoned characters?
story and adventure as a kid. tifa is my eternal waifu. cloud is my eternal self insert. to group together with cool friends (Cid, Kain, etc) and beautiful girls (Rosa, Tifa, Rinoa) and save the world together.
10/10 music.
10/10 graphics and unbelievably charming scenarios and characters and creatures
everything after ff8 is useless uninspired trash though.
after consideration, i think my answer is when they introduced the weapons.
if the planet has this defense system, why wasn't it doing anything about Jenova? or Sephiroth? or Shinra?
why was it just letting all this stuff happen? what a shitty security system.
From the point in which you learn the company you're fighting is called the "God Company" and the energy being harvested is literally called "Evil Light".
when cloud gets raped in the hot tub lmao

Nice gay fanfic you got there homo.
Wrong board
this shit blew my fricking mind the first time I was playing it
>all this shizz for a couple thousand and a miss

At no point. The over-the-topness is what makes it great. If you take FF7 seriously you're doing it wrong
However, this is very different from something like FF16 where it's just as stupid but still really wants you to take it seriously

never. you start our with a supersoldier and a bunch of terrorists blowing up a nuclear reactor. that sets the basis for the rest of the game.
What the frick do you even mean?
At what point in the story did they jump the shark?
there was not a shark in final fantasy 7.
When they introduced aliens on the plot.
FF8 has always been the superior game

>that Sephiroth bastard blew up my sun
>again
Do you seriously believe him blowing up the sun even once is supposed to be more than a metaphor?
When Sephiroth threw the Gravity materia at Cloud in the Mansion basement
>actually that was heckin jenova pretending to be sephiroth!
That was Destruct (Death), you fricking fake fangay.
What do you mean “jump the shark”? The story is consistently weird.
It was a dolphin, not a shark
underrated post
Reminder: Tifa knew Cloud was lying the whole time and never said anything.
The first time they meet after the disaster, Cloud was acting as if he were catatonic. She must have realized those lies helped him cope with his unknown problems and were holding him together.

She didnt want beta Kuraudo
The huge materia shit. "Sure Sephiroth is launching a meteor at us but we have to stop Shinra from trying to stop him because...reasons. Shinra bad!"
I havent played in a while but didn't the party know that launching the huge materia with the rocket wouldn't work so they had to get the materia back so it wasn't wasted?

Cait sith 1 being replaced by Cait sith 2 in 5 minutes
Rip Cait Sith 1
When they tried to make me feel sad that Cait Sith was gonna get crushed. What the frick was that about, he's a fricking robot.
The part were you'll notice the Xenogears elements
There is no shark in FF7.
When they introduce bestiality into the game
When they drop the eco terrorist plot in favor of a generic adventure where you gotta stop da bad guy from doing bad guy things.
It would have been cooler they remain terrorist
Would have been cool if they destroyed every reactor they come across.
planning to play this soon, but I’m mostly interested in the story. Are there any good guides that would help that kind of playthrough?
haven't played a ff game but this looks like the most maximalist game in history so i wanna check it out.
It's honestly the most reasonable starting point into the series by far, not that this matters as the games are all totally independent things that happened to be made by Square employees.
Jumping the shark is what makes FF stories fun.
After you save Priscilla heh
I'm sure you'd enjoy knowing that the game's MAP is homeomorphic to a torus.

Nice looking backgrounds, decent sense of adventure. Pretty animations in combat. The combat is pretty boring though.

>everything after ff8
lol nice revisionism.
FFIX through XII all shit on VIII. And that's only counting retro.
When they conceived the setting. It was the least Final Fantasy-like Final Fantasy (until the Spirits Within happened, what the hell was that)
Never. It's genius the entire way through
ai generated hundreds of tifas, but most of them are too ude for this board.
>ude
nude
>ai
It's your loss. I have have infinite tifas to fap to.
Infinite Tifas with melting faces and discoloured eyes, great...
Why aren't the flags Italian?

The talking dog.
Any part of the story that doesn't take place within FF7.
Crisis core, Advent Children, Remake, etc make the story bad by adding in or retconning things that don't fit.
Take the story of FF7 as it is within the game and just pretend everything else isn't canon.
When they started making a bunch of shitty sequels and prequels.
Cid pulling the "turn into a plane" lever
sephiroth should have been lvl 99 so you can grind for the ruby weapon and not make the last fight irrelevant and anti-climatic
