my xmas present to me is that I'm downloading FF7 remake.

Remember the other day when we were talking about random settings/fandoms that are christmasy to us? (victorian london/sherlock holmes and marvel/80s NYC?)

There's another one. Final Fantasy games.

Purely because as a kid/young teen we got them for xmas, so we were always playing them as xmas time.

We also have to talk about the uniform standards of the crownsguard. Yes black must be your PRIMARY color yes you MUST have a little skull and crossbones somewhere on your back yes you MUST wear black shoes with red soles yes you MUST have a little belt chain that you bought for 23 dollars at hot topic. Other than that? Go nuts.

#the uniforms in this game are SO funny #like I get it the characters we care about need to all have distinct designs #but also imagining this being enforced in world is so funny #I'll never be over how. Prompto clearly modified his jacket.#his UNIFORM jacket. and no one cares #as long as he's got the skull and crossbones he is good to go #especially funny to me because when you have cor in your party in the main menu he has no fidgets. he just stands at military rest.#BRO what kind of military do you think you're in??????#final fantasy #final fantasy xv #ff xv #ff 15 #final fantasy 15 #ffxv #ff15

once again thinking about cloud “there’s someone in me that isn’t me,” “i have to leave, i’m afraid I won’t be able to stop him next time,” “i’m sorry i couldn’t be your cloud,” “maybe one day you’ll get to meet the ‘real cloud,’” “i was never hunting sephiroth, he was always calling me,” “please give me a number professor,” “tell him that when you see him again, it’ll mean the world to him, okay?” “back then we got by with scraped knees,” “hey, tifa” strife.

#ff7 #final fantasy vii #talks #cloud strife #the writing in the og. is just. so special to me #some of this might be slightly off i couldnt find exact captions #but yeah. all things he says that bounce around my empty brain like the dvd logo #just. how he goes through the first half of the game powered by anger and fear and vengeance.#and how the facade of strength falls the second tifa agrees with sephiroth. that she lied and kept the truth from him #how he struggles for so long to hold onto control because he has no idea whats happening to him. why he cant remember stretches of time.#why everyone is treaded on eggshells around him. why he cant remember how he got from one place to another. why he cant stop #himself from hurting aerith.

i just saw someone call ffxiii overrated like? what?? it's literally one of the most hated games in the franchise wym "overrated" 😭

#they've gotta be butthurt it got 3 games #also saw someone whine about how it shouldn't get a remaster bc ''other ff games deserve a chance'' and i was baffled #xiii and xi are the only mainline ff games that aren't on modern consoles what are you talking about!!!!!!!#i shouldn't be reading random men's comments on ffxiii omg it just makes me peeved lmao #final fantasy xiii #i gotta ramble real quick abt how we don't have a remaster yet actually #it bugs me when people act as if it's because ffxiii was some huge embarrassment for square and that they want to bury it #when it actually sold super well #and lightning became one of the most iconic protags in the whole franchise #not to mention that xiii got TWO SEQUELS that ALSO sold well #AND the combat system has influenced modern ff titles #square doesn't hate xiii omfg get real #but that does make it even more absurd that it doesn't have a remaster yet #some people think it doesn't need one since it still looks so damn good #but it's not really about that lol it's about accessibility and letting it reach a new audience (the pc port is too broken seriously)#something tells me it's because the crystal tools engine was so much of a pain to work with but idk they haven't really explained anything #either way it just annoys me when people claim xiii doesn't deserve a remaster bc ''no one likes it'' when that really isn't true #and calling it overrated is beyond insane

2024 reads / storygraph

The Sword of Kaigen

standalone fantasy set in a rural mountain village at the edge of an empire that still holds traditional values, with families of powerful water/ice magic warriors

follows a powerful young heir who begins to question his beliefs about the empire when a new boy comes to his village from the city

and his mother, a housewife who has tried to forget her youth as a warrior and vigilante in the city since she moved back home to a loveless marriage

when there’s a violent attack on their village that they’re unprepared for, everything changes, and she has to embrace her old skills to protect her family and people

#The Sword of Kaigen #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #I’ve been meaning to read this for years and I finally got around to it! a really unique fantasy novel #I had always assumed this was ur average pre-industrial high fantasy and then was immediately hit with video games/tv in the first chapter #lmao. But overall (aside from the broader worldbuilding/politics) it is closer to the average ‘historical’ fantasy narrative -#so I can see why I got that impression #Some really compelling characters and interesting narrative structure that went in some unexpected directions.#It really focuses in on one village and how devastating a single battle in a war can be to their people - and how much work the recovery is #I feel like most sff is more concerned with a single person and/or the whole war so this felt unique. did also mean that the pacing was odd #- it's a slow start; then there’s a battle that must be hundreds of pages. The last section of the book feels a little too drawn out #and brings up random hanging plot elements that don’t really go anywhere. But I think overall this works for the story.#also one thing I didn’t love - cool complex interesting female character MC sure but also there’s weird moments like:#the first scene we see her is all the housewives comparing their attractiveness; she keeps referring to herself as an old woman (when she’s #and oh so meek and useless etc. And some of this feels like it’s part of the broader portrayal of the misogynist society #but some of it felt clunky or unintentional?#And then especially the end - when she and her shitty husband finally confront each other as equals and he apologises #she basically immediately forgives him and is like oh I was equally at fault because I am a meek woman who didn’t try either #like him realising he was wrong (and her realising he had a reason for being the way he was) doesn’t negate the fact that he treated her li #she acts like it was her fault for not trying too - when we have numerous examples of him berating her if she spoke up about anything?#like im glad he’s learning. but also that doesn’t mean she needs to suddenly forgive and love him wtf #that's the only real thing that annoyed me though.#also btw that 5yo seems kinda fucked up. are you guys gonna do anything about that

As a lover of ff6 first I'm almost offended at the crossover outfits in ever crisis bc it's like... ff7 overshadowed it entirely, and now the closest thing we have to modern renders of the cast outside of the brave exivus CGs is the cast of ff7 dressed as them 🫠

#this is kinda just a silly post dont take it too seriously #ff7 is a great game too dont get me wrong i just #i love ff6 so fucking much and it was done so dirty like ff7 got to be a mainstream pop culture thing and ff6 deserves that too #i think if 6 had been the first 3d style game it wouldve gotten the same treatment as 7 pretty much #also the story of 7 draws a lot of inspiration from 6 and its characters and i just-#it makes me sad how underappreciated it is outside of the little circle of ff6 fans #its really a phenomenal game #i am no longer asking #ff6 remake when #i know square wants to do one #final fantasy vi #ff6 #final fantasy 6 #ffvi #my post

i love you video games that you dont need to get good at, i love you games that dont rush you, i love you games that dont require dexterity, i love you games with easy settings, i love you games with accessibility features, i love you games in which you dont die, i love you games in which the stakes arent high, i love you easy games

#a video game post #video games #im already stressed out enough i dont need games to also stress me out #and im dyspraxic so that means my dexterity fucking sucks #i cant aim for shit #this makes shooters impossible for me to play #even splatoon #and aim is just one part of all that dyspraxia makes difficult #i have a long response time !!!!!!#i dont like final fantasy cause its turn based makes me feel rushed #its also why i will always always always always a l w a y s prefer dragon quest #i also cant really play zelda if i can be really honest #especially now that it got extremely button intensive #i cant play anything horror either lmao #i cant deal with things chasing me #even the golems in the stardew valley mines freak me out lmao #thanks anxiety :)

*wings flutter as soft feet with slightly sharper claws land on his unprotected shoulder.* "Figured I would find you here." "I'm a simple man, it's not hard." "What's on this simple man's mind?" "New adventure... new lands, a whole new part of the world." "And" "Do you think it will be a good adventure?" "Yes" "Me too."

(It's odd to have Mako without his mods, but patch day means that happens... I was just sitting there, and the idea came into my mind and here we are.)

I can fix him*

*bad writing, underutilized gameplay mechanics, characters with unfulfilled potential, funded by bootlickers

#ra speaks #personal #sorry I made dr phone calls and have like. ten minutes til I gotta get ready for first class of the semester. let me have this.#I think I should get every COD game ever for free. it’s MY tax dollars at work after all (actually anything produced w us military funding #should be free I think I can trap even my bootlicker tax hating dad into getting onboard w this one)#anyways. ghosts was…decent. but jfc if you give me a silent protag I expect SOME self awareness in the writing.#why are characters calling to him on comms when they know he won’t respond? why doesn’t he have an AAC device or something more futuristic?#I’m just saying if you explicitly limit a character you need to respect those limits in te writing. it’s not that hard.#like non of the characters even acknowledge that Logan never talks. esp weird when he first meets the ghosts #also. obv not a big fan of ‘all of South America has United into evil space terrorists’ but it was 2013 so ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯#wish we got to see some SDC civis y’know? get a bear on the average attitudes abt the whole. invading the US thing.#(jfc do not get me started on The Wall like this is a 2016 trump voter’s power fantasy)#also Riley was such an interesting mechanic why couldn’t they have at least substituted him w drones or something on the other missions??#you get him for like. two missions. and then he gets shot and you have to protect him (gosh I actually loved that section)#just. it was clear Logan was The Dog Guy with an aptitude for tech. honestly Hesh felt more like the MC than Logan.#and while Logan doesn’t have a ton of personality we can glean as a result of non speaking + ZERO communication at all ever #seriously he doesn’t even like. wave or give thumbs up to people wtf dude do ppl just assume he’s psychic or something???#I do LOVE the few scenes we get with him acting outside of player control/where he actually has agency (Elias’ death. the final cutscene)#and like it’s not much but it’s enough that I WANT to see what happens next #but alas. a decade old game without a true sequel (I think??? haven’t actually looked into it.)#my brother is making fun of me for being a COD gamer now like boy. I have no defense pls be nice to me T-T

In which the author starts working towards earning that Graphic Depictions of Violence warning

#ffxiv fanfiction #ffxiv #final fantasy xiv #lazy oak #alphinaud #alphinaud leveilleur #alisaie #alisaie leveilleur #i may regret choosing one of the chattiest characters in the whole game to write a fic about when I struggle so much with dialogue #just a little bit.#hence why this took me two months #but I also got to treat myself to writing body horror so it evens out

The one thing I'm genuinely upset about with the ending of FFXV is the fact that the boys don't hug after reconnecting with Noct. Like I'm sorry, you just spent the last 50+ hours showing me these characters high five, fist bump, slap eachothers asses, sit with their feet in the others' lap, vault off each other during combat, share beds, sleep together in a tent the size of a mattress, and then told me they have just finished waiting TEN YEARS to see Noctis again, and they don't immediately tackle his kingly ass to the ground???? Mr. Square Enix I'm sorry but you're just wrong.

#in a lot of other jrpg partys it wouldnt feel that weird but with the chocobros??? It just feels WRONG #the way the dynamic just /shifts/ is both so important to the tone but also out of characterly jarring #I wish we got more time with them all figuring it out again #also fucking imagine Prompto seeing Noct for the first time in a decade and he just starts flat out running #tosses his pistol away and its gone before it can hit the ground and he full on LEAPS at Noct #probably making his bad leg buckle and sending them both to the dirt but I dont think in that moment anyone cares #and Gladio hauls him to his feet only to crush him in bear hug #let me see Ignis take his gloves off for one of the only times in game and run them over Nocts new face #let me see them all stumble back in to that easy affection one last time before it all goes to shit #final fantasy #final fantasy xv #final fantasy 15 #ff 15 #ff xv #chocobros #ff15 #ffxv #noctis lucis caelum #ignis scientia #prompto argentum #gladiolus amicitia

Tbh Dirge of Cerberus' actual gameplay isn't as bad as I was expecting it to be, like I'm almost 4 missions in and I still haven't died, but the gameplay getting interrupted every 5 minutes by some kind of micro cutscene is driving me up the wall. Did they really have to stop the action just to show a common model NPC walking out of scene. Was that 100% necessary

#textpost #The villain names are cracking me tf up #Blue the Blue. Red the Red. There's a guy named White so I'm sure he's White the White too #I saw that there's a Transparent the Transparent later lol #This game is really corny but in a like fun Shadow the Hedgehog B movie way so I'm diggin it haha #It's really not that bad. I don't think it deserves the super super low rankings it got #It's like a 6.5 or a 7 out of 10 so far tbh #One of my buddies said that it was one of those games where the hype made people expect too much #So people thought it was worse than it actually is #It's about as good as GG2 Overture and Overture got 7s and even a few 8 out of 10 rankings back at release #Though tbf FF7 basically changed the RPG genre forever and no one in the west knew wtf a Guilty Gear was when Overture dropped #Overture definitely had an advantage there. Dirge of Cerberus was NEVER going to live up to Final Fantasy 7's hype #Doomed right outta the gate. I hope the devs weren't too beat up about it

man fuck the pitioss ruins

#i had such a miserable time #and all because of one simple thing:#you can't fucking save the game inside dungeons for some goddamned reason #i was so damn tired by the end that i kept failing even the simplest platforming parts #and god this game was NOT built for platforming #i hate it when devs shoehorn platforming sections into games whose controls are optimized for a completely different gameplay loop #i would have very much prepared a dungeon full of high level enemies thank you very much #would be much more of a fitting test for the post-game y'know?#*sigh* this one is on me but i didn't even like the reward item #part of the fun of combat is dodging attacks yourself...#sorry for the anger i just got really frustrated #i never liked and will never like platforming in combat-oriented games #ff15 #final fantasy
