    This is a spam thread by the FF8 schizo. It's not about the advertised topic. Don't bump it

      Requesting a lore dump on FF8 schizo.

        He just makes threads on Ganker, /vr/, and /vrpg/ all day and talks to himself. It's really blatant and spammy, so he's probably some moronic janny or erping with a janny. Not much else to say about it.

          Is there a particular reason he does it?
          From another thread he seems to think 8's middling reception was caused by Spooney's review. He also like to pit the game against 9 in particular.
          Also is he the same autist who spammed the "I'm a hardcore fan with FF8" pasta?

            The ff8 schizo talks about ff8; not people who play ff8.
            Thats more like the rpg maker crowd. They like to spin yarn about peoples relationships and regularly fabricate "new" identities.
            They briefly named the schizo coyotecraft, but I think they backed off when they realized just how much that narrows them down.

      Welcome "Everything I don't like is the same guy" guy!

      You'll be disappointed to learn there's more than one person who likes FF8. Here, I made a new thread in part to highlight the fact

      [...]

      Now suffer and despair in the knowledge that the schizo you obsess over is is a creation of your own schizophrenia.

        Thinking that your liking FF8 is more important than discussing the stated topic in the OP proves him right.

    Because the West is broken. The people abandoned God and their lives shattered. Most people come from broken homes and don't know what a marriage should look like. Hence why our media depicts shit such as dating culture or degenerate fetishes or sex eithout children when the point of sex is to raise children. Japan is breaking down too but there were for more people who saw beauty and want to preserve it and that is reflected in the media they made.

    Wrpgs don't give player character's backstories.
    They just have some magic pixie hormone dust blown in their face; and the next thing you know they're humping a bear.

    Because WPRGs are obsessed over player choice which in turn reduces romance to sideshow themepark attractions. The only good WRPG romances are those that are easy to frick up and demand from the player to curb their own freedom on certain choices in order to achieve the romance.

      This. WRPGs tend to dilute the relationship down as a multiple choice event with the goal being a 'sex' scene and not a lot else. Kinda hard to have a meaningful relationship when the intent is shallow.

        I kinda miss the sex card mechanics from Witcher 1. Witcher 2 felt like a terribly written porn movie

          Letho was KINO
          Geralt essentially being a sidecharacter with a players POV was KINO
          Ladybug flying away in the end was KINO
          Killing Henselt was KINO

          Witcher 3 can't compare

            None of that has anything to do with romances.

    There's romance but no logic. Why would they have built Adel's tomb in a way that it could be unsealed or opened if Esthar was so worried about her coming back? They go through all the effort to make a state of the art casket, launch it into space and even build a central space station to monitor it, but they put locks on the tomb that can be opened.

    Because westerners get more sex irl than Japs.
    They don't need RPGs to fill the gap in their lives.
    >inb4 you aren't getting sex ... yeah, we guessed

      If you don't understand the difference between romance and sex you don't belong in this thread.

    American puritanism. Euros are capable of romances too. It's 'muricans that suck at it.
