Topic	Which of these Final Fantasy games should I play?
trdl23 12/17/21 12:22:00 PM #15	Can't go wrong with V or IX. I'd joke about the mega-free-trial to XIV but the game's so popular you can't even buy it right now due to server loads, so... --- E come vivo? Vivo!

trdl23 12/15/21 9:09:17 PM #237	HeroDelTiempo17 posted... It's this from a logistical standpoint but I don't know WHY they don't outright state it at this point. Her stated reasons in-universe are what Ganon says and are pretty flimsy. Not trusting Fandaniel is one thing but why not Emet or at least Hythlodeus? It creates this weirdly written half-justification instead of her just embracing the loop. And the thing is, with how we know time travel works in this universe she COULD feel free to change the future from that point and create an offshoot timeline (the Exarch's original timeline still exists, after all). That's getting a little too wacky and this is getting a lot too nitpicky though! Anyways I'm not through the whole game so maybe there's more context I'm missing, but I do have another question about that scene I just thought of When Venat is walking through the ruins of Amaurot, she passes Emet and Hythlodaeus. But we know that Hythlodaeus was one of the sacrifices to form Zodiark. We talk to him on the moon about it! He couldn't have possibly been around at the time of the Sundering, which she is on her way to do. What's up with that? To the second spoiler text: That scene was symbolic, not literal. In the same walk she passes Hyth giving one last goodbye to Emet, then soon afterward finds people looking to sacrifice to Zodiark a third time to restore their brethren, then she Sunders without any of her worshipers being there to sacrifice themselves to her. This couldn't have happened in the course of one stroll.. --- E come vivo? Vivo!

trdl23 12/15/21 2:48:24 PM #231	GANON1025 posted... So actually, I have a bit of trouble understanding that post 87 dungeon MSQ scene. Youre talking about the one where we see Venat summoning/becoming Hydaelen, right? So ok, after the dungeon you and Venat escape with your memories in tact. And she says she cant just tell everyone whats going to happen because. I dont know, Fandaniel might mess things up??? Dont truly get it, but whatever. Shes going to try to help stop whats about to happen with her new knowledge but later on we see that she wasnt able to help at all and basically, everything happened how it did before anyway. Yep. Closed time loop, just like Alexander's storyline. The reason she felt she had to be clandestine about who she told is because she was afraid of causing a panic that could itself trigger the Final Days early, iirc. I'll need to rewatch those scenes. --- E come vivo? Vivo!

MCH, PLD, NIN, and GNB were all kinda "whatever" (since the real level 80 GNB happens in Bozja), and WHM is as awful as every other quest in that job. --- E come vivo? Vivo!

I stopped after the second big dungeon, before the second open world area. And I hear the story is...not good, so I feel no pressure to do it now while I have other games to get out of the way before SMT5 and Endwalker ruin my life further. Frankly, you're through the worst of it. Zadnor has glimmers of good because characters worth a damn actually get some chance in the spotlight (Lyon and Bajsaljen specifically, though Menenius gets better too).

Topic	Is Smash Bros a fighting game franchise?
trdl23 10/30/21 10:52:23 AM #4	It's definitely borderline, but I think it's just distinct enough to be its own thing. To me, the most telling thing is the lack of cross-play between Smash and every other fighting game. Most fighting game players embrace multiple game franchises, but there's a schism between Smash communities and the rest, which speaks for it not fitting in. --- E come vivo? Vivo!
