[OOC] Final Fantasy X: The Final Atonement

[Silver Fox]

ehh not really not feeling like trolling. But I do feel like sleeping and it's time for me to leave for now ^_^. Have a nice day to all!

@rivaan

Trolling is too tiring. Dunno how they do it all the time. Though I understand the appeal a little. Odd really. And I'm pretty tired too, so I'll play more FF and go to bed. You have a nice day too ^o^

[Aerandir]

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...!

@The_written_John

First of all I played it when I was 12 when I first played it so no I didn't read into it second of all you your self is a dick for well... Being a dick so it's kinda funny your calling us dicks for only pointing out it was an horribly awkward scene .... Which I don't understand why you got all defensive saying it was an awkward scene because it was meant to be thus agreeing with us in the first place but then going all out to calling us dicks and dumb and it's all our fault was a little uncalled for so yeah others might of played it off but I won't.

@Aerandir

I find this funny cause I just recently started watching Star Trek xD

[Aerandir]

Star Trek never gets old. :) anyways to continue cause it posted for me before I was finished. I know this is the internet and we feel more confident over it but there is absolutely no need for belittling. Especially in my roleplay. Funny or not I don't tolerate it. If you don't like it try to act all high and mighty somewhere else. If you can work with this then great. Have fun

[21308]

I looked back at what -name forgotten don't feel like going back again- said and I actually kind of agree. A lot of stuff early on in the game, including that laugh, probably seemed really forced and awkward on purpose because that's how some people are when they're in life or death situations. The only problem I have is that, unless I'm seriously mistaken which I really shouldn't be because I just recently played the HD remix, that scene happened before Tidus knew for sure that anyone was going to die.

Also should I have Bohdan attempt to approach the group or something? I'm not sure what to have him do.

@21308

Might be a good idea. He'll be talked to if he comes up to them.

Also, I do understand WHY it happened. Just, it was still a cringeworthy laugh xD

I say just ignore it. It isn't worth thinking about if someone seriously has to be literal about something so inconsequential to begin with. (Unless it is contradicting a statement that is crucial to the project, which it isn't... we were just laughing the the delivery, hell, I was 7 and understood the psychology behind the grave matter. But he ranted about it and tried to pass it off as informative. It isn't high and mighty, it is just plain silly.)

And I find it even funnier how pissed he seemed at us blatantly ignoring it- fact is he read our responses out of context and responded irrationally. If he wants to make an ass of himself, let him.

Either way, I don't care, and I'm sure none of us do if we are making light about what he thinks of us. The guy who was being pretty much talked down to pretty much mocked him. (Which was pretty fucking funny.)

I find it funny as well it was taken so seriously and as silver pointed out serious over a serious scene meant to make things less serious. I say this just because I had a friend who was bullied on the internet, mocked and made fun and because of that nearly killed himself. I don't allow it to slide. The really is no reason for belittling anyone ,never.

You can always deliver he info with out calling us uneducated, idiots, dicks, and acting like you know it all. Really no need for it. But I'm getting on the rant again and I'm gunna drop it.

@Aerandir

Awwwwe it's okay buddy.

[CAS1006]

Which is more funny to me; because he really is not a "know it all" he is just being self important and defensive over media. Like... if you're so fucking smart... you'd know not to be pissed at someone laughing at it.

It is different if something clearly is contradictory and you are calling that out and why it does not work; but that is no where near the case.

But yeah, maybe it will sink in, either way I'm having a good laughing Watching "Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes Repainted".

Might do a FF 9 abridged in the future with a friend. (Might voice a costarican Garnet.)

[21308]

FF 9 Abridged: Let's all get together and ponder why we all look like freaking Teletubbies.

[CAS1006]

@21308Is that really a thing!? I'm going to be sad than.

@21308

You two are going to make me want to play FF9 now. Cause it's my favorite and I have it on my vita ready to go xD

[21308]

@CAS1006 No it's not, I just came up with it right now. I do think that if you're going to criticize Final Fantasy 9, the first thing to go with would be how they gave several characters chibi-like bodies but realistic eyes and how jarring that is. Makes them look like underweight toddlers or something.

[CAS1006]

@Silver FoxFun fact, on a different fourm I was doing an rp of it. Super detailed- but... No one was dedicated "FF9 does not pay bills. Fuck yo project."

I love FF9.

@21308

I have always liked the art style of FF9, but I can't disagree xD I always just found it amusing and a bit refreshing compared to the more darker previous two games.

That fricken jump rope game though. I hate it. And that fricken acting/play mini game. I hate that too.

@CAS1006

Yes! I'm not the only one!

[CAS1006]

Because everyone is extremely realized and developed. As much as I love FF X, that is where it falls flat in some areas.

>inb4Lulu.

[21308]

@CAS1006 What about her?

@Silver Fox Yeah the minigames could be pretty ridiculous, I actually liked that sword fighting one at the beginning though. I guess they had good reasons for going for a more whimsical art style or whatever, I guess it just wasn't for me.

@21308

Oh I liked the sword one xD its just id always get 99% no matter how fast and perfectly I did. So I eventually rage quit and skipped. Managed to do it once or twice on the original.

@CAS1006

Indeed, I loved all the characters xD even Quina. Zidane was also a refreshing main character since he's a thief, which the main character is usually a warrior. And after having two gloomy characters, to get a more playful outgoing, clever and lively one was nice.

10 was also nice, especially graphic wise cause the first time I booted it up I was like 'ITS SO PRETTY I CANT EVEN!!' And most of the characters were likable. Although I didn't like Tidus and Yuna at first. XD

Also, I adored the battle system, but detested the leveling system
