[OOC] Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

[Silver Fox]

My brother walked in and was like "da fu** you watching?"

@Aerandir

My reaction would be 'I dunno anymore.'

Hold the phone, i'm gunna talk about this...!

Alright, was about to hit the hay and then I got to this part where everyones talking about how the laugh scene was terrible. I'm going to have to stop you kids riiiight there, you see, lets break this down. First of all, the laugh is forced, in every dubbed language of the game, including the japanese, the laugh is clearly forced, this is clearly and most obviously pointed out by the characters clearly laughing normally right after their forced fake laughter.

Also you have to keep in mind that the events so far have been goddamn terrifying, and what other way can tidus and yuna help to force out that dread that engaging in something they most likely will never be able to engage in, Yuna knows she's going to potentially end up dying and still wants tidus by her side. The laugh scene from final fantasy X is panned by people who have no idea why the scene is exactly how it is. Their going off to die. That's the message. They're going off, with full knowledge, that their going to end up being killed, potentially. Knowing they could end up dying on this dangerous journey, they do the only thing they can, laugh, laugh as forced as possible, to get it out, to try and make light of many people having been murdered, the cost of being a summoner and the agony which yuna is going through.

But no, clearly non-intellectuals just think "lol, bad voice acting urmagerd" without even taking into context the weight of the scenario. Have any of you ever experienced someone giving a forced laugh in a moment of crisis? No? I have. A few times. When my best friend died, when my mother died and when my father almost fell into a never awakening coma. I was the one who laughed forcibly two out of three, the last one was my best friend, before he died. When we're thrusted into a scenario in which we have no idea what the outcome will be, we act different to suit that, give ourselves one last minute of tomfoolery before sticking with the more serious tone, a final act of laughter, the calm before the storm. Honestly that scene houses a lot of ominousness to it, despite its goofy tone... Yuna was depressed, and Tidus, being Tidus, acted like a scatterbrained dimwit to make her laugh and be happy, to forget her doubts and go forward.

So don't dismiss the actual message of the scene when there's actual context, I absolutely despise it when people don't read into anything, makes me a little sick... It's the same people who think "Ermahgerd clouds emo, square ruined him" without taking into consideration the literal 100% mind fuck he went through coupled with losing his best and only friend... Cuz that's relatable.

We clear on that? Everyone feel a little smarter? Everyone feel like less of a dick? I hope so, I need my 10 hour nap...!

First of all yes they are going to die, yes laugh is forced, yes it's meant to be that way, but that doesn't make it any more akward... I watched it through 1 time and I already know it by memory and I CANT watch it again. Its too akward.

@The_written_John

I realize it's forced. Doesn't mean it doesn't sound terrible. That's why I said that I found it horribly amusing.

I personally, would not probably be comforted by this. But what mattered was Yuna found it amusing xD

@rivaan

Like I said, it's suppose to be awkward, that's the tone their going for. It's honestly horrifying, to hear such a sad laugh...

Anyway, i'm off to bed, hope you people learned something tonight! And you know... Yeah, i'm off to bed...!

[CAS1006]

@rivaanShh.. It's the greatest.

[rivaan]

@The_written_John

I think your taking it too seriously xD what's bad is bad. Not on the game and the context, just the sound of it. Sentimentally I understood. Still bad.

So no, didn't learn anything haha xD

I'm more tolerant of it then most people. But I just kinda stare when it happens.

I learned you're not very well lit upstairs, so that doesn't surprise me, honestly...!

[rivaan]

@rivaan

Honestly its not your faul- well it is but you shouldn't blame- well you should but... Okay yeah you probably shouldnt have brought up a topic that gets grossly underlooked by people who, and god forbid me saying this but

"Dont take serious scenes seriously"

... Hurts my brain trying to comprehend that logic...!

Dunno why you think that since I agree with just about everything. Except that the laugh was still terrible. Be it on purpose or not xD

@The_written_John

Because it's a serious scene trying to say to laugh it off and move foreword? And not take the horrible laughter seriously? That and it's a video game. XD

And hey @Oblivion666 ^^
