I played two or three JRPGs in the 90s. FFVII included and had enough. How can people continue finding this genre interesting? Its just anime with press X to attack until you win tacked on.

*tips fedora* Hear hear! I agree fellow /vr/ m'gentlemen, I daresay this schlock barely qualifies as a video game, or as I refer to them "ludoentertainment". As a true retro ludoentertainment purveyor I spend 20 hours a day trying to get a world record in Centipede (on ORIGINAL arcade hardware purchased directly from the manufacturer...or I wouldn't be actually playing it) I don't consider anything released after it ludoentertainment, especially not so-called "JRPGs". Glad to see like-minded m'gentlemen on this forum :)

Aeris was annoying as fuck, her only value as a character was getting killed and turned into a nip jesus christ.

Yeah, part of me wonders how that section is going to be handled. I really hope they don't try and water it down, because it really is a great section. It was "haha" funny in 1997, but a lot has changed in twenty years. Trans activists will probably be up in arms about it.

Good choices of characters to include in your party: Cid, Red XIII, Tifa, Barrett
Meh choices: Yuffie, Vincent
Shit choices: Cait Sith, Aeris

When first drawing up the outline of the story they weren't sure on who would be killed out of the main cast of Cloud, Aerith, Tifa or Barret. They instantly ruled out Barret so he should check his privileges.

Kitase also had the idea that in the Midgar raid at the end of disc 2 you would select your 3 party members and the rest would be killed in the attempt leaving you with those 3 until the ending until he was talked out of it by Nomura.

>>4788330
Honestly, it's good the way they did it. She's more interesting and useful than several of the other characters, but that just makes it more effective.

>>4788391
That'd be unfortunate, because her death is heroic, not just "Hey, let's kill the hero's fucktoy."

>>4788770
Cait Sith is going to be the biggest problem.

they should get Idris Elba to voice Barrett in the remake, or maybe Chris Tucker

why not just have Samuel L Jackson and have him literally fight a bossfight against snakes on a plane solo

>> No.4789052

It's unfortunate that Aeristh dying is like the "Darth Vader twist" of gaming. I think the twist is actually very savvy, because the game is trying to fake you out by making you think Cait Sith "dying" at the Temple of the Ancients is the "something dear" that you'll lose.

>> No.4789054

>>4789052
Cait Sith was not something dear to anyone

>> No.4789058

>>4789054
Yeah, but that's part of the joke. It makes you think that it's going to be one of the good party members. Then when Cait Sith sacrifices itself, you're supposed to think to yourself, "Oh, it was referring to itself with that fortune. How droll."

>>4794561
Not that guy but i's not even elitism. The only FF games I've enjoyed were VI and IX, the others all ranged from 'mediocre, standard JRPGs' to 'Dull and uninteresting'. I've got the same feeling for Dragon Quest games. FFVII I couldn't even finish because it was so boring once you got out of Midgard (although everything leading up to climbing up the wall was great).

I like JRPGs in general though, so it's not like I just don't like RPGs.
