[OOC] Final Fantasy 9 - Reimagined [Private and Full.]

[Silver Fox]

Sorry, I got a cold. Will try posting tomorrow

[CAS1006]

Pretty much after the next update from me, the party should be fully united again.

[CAS1006]

I'll post later tonight.

[CAS1006]

Not my biggest post, but we are moving forward, ultimately the full party should be united within the next post.

I apologize to those who feel benched.

[CAS1006]

Another update. Since there have been no battles yet. (Unless you count Cas using an item to end a creature.) I'm fine if you change gear now. But anything after the departure will be exempt from being changed.

However, it probably will not change your character too much. I just want it so I don't go "Well, if I leave him as is, he will feel kinda samey too everyone else. And composition is a thing." So there is that.

Also, I sent Silver a note, I kinda want to do a Duet scene (As in me and Silver make the next scene to conclude the play segment to give it more of an ending.)

If Silver does not wish to, then I guess I'll have something else. But all and all, I hope you're all enjoying the Rp.

Edit: Added Gadgets under Cas's weapons. Feel free to add such to characters of yours.

[CAS1006]

Just typed up a rather humorous scene.

[CAS1006]

Anyways, what are you guys up to?

[rivaan]

Nothing really. Just chilling and playing some witcher 2

@CAS1006

wow. It's a good series alright.

[CAS1006]

@rivaanIt is one of those series that feels just simply perfect. It made writing fresh for me again, and even passionate.

Like... Geralt is easily the most human character for example. And he technically isn't human anymore. Just... Such a perfect series.

[rivaan]

Geralt be the best~ knight ever

@rivaan <3

We must gush about this wonderful franchise forever.

Like... I like a crap ton of other games. But... I don't think every one of them ever fully realizes themselves. Like you have rare examples like Xenosaga, FF9 (Duh, if I did not like it, I would not try making this fun.), FFX (I could do a recreation of that, but I rather not just rehash it. It is a great game on it's own.) Paper Mario Thousand Year Door to a degree.

The list unfortunately does not go on too far. Oh yeah. KOTOR 2. Kraya was just... Amazing character.
My mother ordered the Dishonored Definitive edition, so I'll have that next week. (Hopefully it is super amazing.)
There is Also Wild Arms 3 I'd like to add to that list, which explores complicated inner struggles in a dying world.

There are a couple other games I want to say has greatness, but I really need to remember.

[rivaan]

@CAS1006 I personally like most games I've played. Very few get my hate triggers, but witcher lists in the ones I REALY like. There be a few RPs I want to do eventually but it wont be anytime soon.

@rivaan

I wish I liked every game I played. But I'm so jaded by the ones I end up disliking.
Like... I'm probably going trigger you and Silver here, but I'll at least give my reasoning.

FF7, I hated it not because of who dies, but the whole story behind Cloud and Seph. It felt so... Needlessly convoluted, a huge chase to a problem that mostly fixes it self in the end. It is even more agitating that people are bitching going "Make it turn based!" It never was! There was a fucking Action Time Bar, and even then some enemies ignore it when you're placing a command in, hell, FFX is the only real turn based one.

Though I did not hate FF8, it was kinda just there for me. It boiled down to "Who do I hate least?" Quistis and Curtis. Even Riona.
It was a "It is an interesting concept, but I can live without the Battle system. It was fine before." I at least appreciate it did try to blend fantasy with enough modern concepts. Like how you leave by train at the start, and at water based ships. It was nice because it felt realized to that end. But Scipher to me just felt like Gary Oak. Sure, he is meant to be annoying, and has plot reasoning. But he was just a throw away character to me.

The only problem I had with FF9, was slow combat. Aside from that it felt like a perfect game. The Minigames were not boring or broken. Even fun to a degree, which says a lot about it already.

TL;DR: I did not care for FF7, I can live without 8, but at least they got it right at 9.
I do however like the Guardian Force for FF8, it did partially inspire the Familiar system of this rp. And a weee Bit of SMT.

[rivaan]

@CAS1006 I will not judge you for the games you like and dislike. I will admit ff7 and 8 aren't perfect games. They have some bad parts and so on. I like them both a lot, but you don't it's fine. ^^

@rivaan

I think my biggest problem with 7 and 8 was they wanted to be so much more. But the Translations were not the greatest. And unfortunately that is a problem from that time period.

Like... If I'm correct, there were Four translations of Skies of Arcadia. There was the original Japanese one, Then the Japanese Nintendo one (I'm sure you can imagine what happened there.) And the two English ones. While there was more content in the Gamecube port, I'm sure they changed a lot more dialog to either fix problems with the original Dreamcast version, to straight up censorship.

SOA was a precious gem.

Thing was though, FF7 had the option to be turn base. Yes you had to wait for the action bar to fill, but you could still make it so the enemies don't attack until you make your move. Same with 8 or 9. As did most of the old ones. (Except when you had those event timers which happened in 7 to 10.) It was there. You could turn it on or off. And it helped at times when planning your next move on the bosses. 11 was more of the first ones you couldn't turn base. Was the plot odd in 7? Yeah. Did it make no sense sometimes? Yeah. Was it fun? Yeah.

Was all those little side things you could do that had no reason other than your enjoyment fun? Yeah. It's those what I love about Final Fantasy and just enjoy the story. And every one has a eye twitching flaw.

I don't particularly mind or not if you didn't like them, but won't stop me from my enjoyment. I'm more like Riv as barely anything makes me actually dislike a game. It's gotta be really poor for me NOT to enjoy something and have fun with it.

I honestly can't think of a game I truly dislike.

Also. In FF9. F those jumprope and play minigames. XD

@Silver Fox

Just woke up from my nap, and was the first thing that came to mind. The fucking Jump rope was the real enemy. Kuja was no threat to Gaia, it was fucking Jump Rope.

CHANGING PLOT GUYS!
