I often think about little things/media that helped me eventually radicalize, this was one of them
(hexbear.net)
I wanted to punch Algus so bad. Guy was just a superb classist prick.
Honestly wish they would've returned to doing stories that included the kind of nuance/class warfare that FF Tactics had but I don't think the people writing these games in the PS1 era continued to really have much influence (xenogears was a particularly fun one).
Can't say I liked 12 (I felt like the plot left a lot of unresolved stuff, and didn't really lean into the imperialism bit in a way that made out the empire to be as bad as it could've). Vagrant story was obviously good, but its not surprising that we don't get weird stuff that goes off the path as much. Its sad that AAA devs are largely pigeonholing themselves into safety because of development time. It says a lot that the wildest thing thats happened in the FF franchise in years is characters explicitly having sex.
idk, how explicit do you need it? Because it's definitely been strongly implied in such a way that it may as well be explicit. Like Tidus and Yuna in the Macalania Woods or whatever in FFX
Uh no that was just kissy huggy wet fun don't be GROSS
Gaia and Ryne (and also Sadu and Cirina) in FFXIV are incredibly obviously a lesbian couple but they won't come out and say it.
Which game was this? I totally missed it lol
Who seduced you? The queen?
Ahh-hhhh
16 has an unambiguous sex scene
Ah, makes sense - I don't have a PS5 lol
It's largely not worth buying, honestly. I enjoyed FF16 but partly because it doesn't try being something more grand than just a spammy action RPG. The plot is simple, and as such it doesn't fall into the weird pitfalls of being convoluted but is also nothing to write home about
Sounds like something I'd impulse buy for $10 in 5 years and play like 15 hours of lol
Yeah honestly thats a good way to look at it. I thought it was better than 13/15 but not enough to justify a premium
