Hallway simulator
OP here, sorry wrong pic
>>720845831>HallwayKino*
I don't understand the linear hate. Most of my favorite games have been linear.It's rare I see an open world game done well where the open world part of it makes it better.Case in point: FF7Remake > FF7Rebirth
>>720845831Linear jrpgs with expansive end game > open world jrpg
>>720845831Best setting in a final fantasy game.
>>720845831>>720845951they're good games
>>720845951I should play this one. I hear if you like X this is very good.
>>720845831I'm old enough to remember that at the end of the PS2/xbox era everyone was tired of linear games and open world games were this new holy grail and gold standard for videogames going into nextgen... As it turns out we were wrong and that open world sloppa simply was a huge mistake that led to Pokemon, Zelda and Metroid etc to implement these shitty motorcycles and Ubisoft towers everywhereWE NEED TO GO BACK KATE, WE NEED TO GO BACK!
>>720845831More like S0VL simulator
>>720847353SquareEnix need to get off their stupid Kingdom Hearts loving asses and GIVE ME MY FUCKING FFX REMAKE Or at the very least FFX-3
>>720847446>Or at the very least FFX-3..do we really want that?
>>720847626yes. but don't make it a fucking action rpg.don't do it, square!
>>720845831Metroidvania.
>>720847446>Or at the very least FFX-3At least it should retcon FFX-2.5
>when u missed something and now you can't 100% your ffx-2 runbros..
>>720845831One of the greatest games of all time.
>>720847626We want the Jecht, Auron and Braska prequel.
>>720849036You can do it on NG+.
>>720848585There's already a X-3 script laying around so I'm not too optimistic on that
I beat FFX-2 NG+ with pic related alone. All games should have an optional monster arena autism simulator.

>>720849190...i don't like playing games twice. especially right after beating it.
>>720845831I'll take a good hallway over a shit open world any day."Oh but I want to go anywhere" you cry. Shut up. It's the same goblins over here as it is over there. The game is bound by its own confines.
>>720847150>>720849921but literally every FF prior to X was more open and many of them were better gamesthis has nothing to do with the modern premise of open worldJRPGs were mostly always more open than FFX its as core part of their design
>>720845831I wish the randomizer was simpler to use I'm too lazy to use that extractor and do all that shit
>>720850261>but literally every FF prior to X was more open and many of them were better gamesEssentially never. Every FF is a completely linear point A to point B experience, with a mere handful of sidequest options, which FFX also has.Only the World of Ruin was in any way open-ended and that was regarded as the worst part of FFVI anyway because it was at the cost of the game's narrative structure.
>>720847626Yes because they need to fix that blitzball bomb shit
>>720850261A linear game is better at telling a story from start to finish than your open world slop, prior final fantasies also weren't truly open world either, like FF7 is completely linear until you leave midgar and even then there is only that many places you can go until you progress the story furtherFFX also rewards you for backtracking quite a bit and when you get the airship you literally can go anywhere you want
>>720847150maybe something in between exists idiot
>>720850431>linear point A to point B experienceonly if you already know the gameI've played FF1-8, and 10 and in EVERY other FF I've had moments where I thought "where to go next" and had to figure it outI never thought this a single time playing FFX. Maybe open is the wrong word but FFX's design is significantly more narrow in the way it feels to discover areas on your first playthrough
I'm halfway through the game and don't like the sphere grid no more. Neither the trial puzzle places. I do like throwing explosives as rikku that is pretty kino. Wakka is based, tidus is the worst voiced MC in a jrpg.
>>720850689I see you suffer from the fatal condition called zoomer brain, my condolences.
>>720845831>hallwayhighest form of ludo kino
>>720850942my first console was a SNES and I had a ps2 when FFX came out
>>720850918>halfway throughWhere are you rn?
>>720850942zoomers prefer more linear designs because they're impatient anonyou know open world slop was entirely pushed and beloved by millennials right?
>>720850995That doesn't make it any better you know, you seem to have caught brainrot at your high age.
>>720850918>tidus is the worst voiced MC in a jrpgI played the international version just for japanese voice acting because of how fucking awful tidus is in english kekthe game is much easier to take seriously in japanese (many such cases).
>>720851067Every new game nowadays is open world sloppa catered to zoomers, you aren't fooling anyone here
>>720851037forest place after the thunder field. Not really caring much for the story. Tidus comments are annoying and seymour is such a dumb looking bad guy I can't take him serious. Rest of guardians are aight.
>>720851225zoomers play indie games and competitive multiplayer games kekyou really think the people consuming AAA slop are zoomers?
least favorite FF I played. Characters, story, gameplay, all step down from the previous games. And don't get me even started on blitzball, what absolute garbage. Fucking embarassing that BoF4 had a better back-row system than FFX, a whole console generation before it.
>>720851167https://youtube.com/shorts/o1SMMfErde4?si=TZ88NBsolbNa4eS4>many such cases
>>720845951FFX is at least a GOOD hallway simulator
>>720851246That's not even nearly halfway through, it will get more enjoyable once you reach calm lands huge open field though
>>720845831>I require wandering for hours, and consider that as quality gameplay Immersionfags deserve the rope
>>720851364that laugh is supposed to be retarded its literally the entire pointhis english VA is bad for the entire game though
>>720851349What's your favorite?
>>720851542>it's bad on purposethis has never been a good excuse.
yeah but the hallways had lore and soul
>>720851542>moving the goalposts that quickly
>>720851643Either way it doesn't represent the VA for the rest of the entire gameIts a pointless clip chimp at best
>>7208515798, 7, 9. in that order, the nes/snes ones were alright too.played 8 in german, which doesn't have the shit "whatever" localization
>>720851735>8 and 9No more questions your honor lmao
>>720851871why would I care what an X-fag thinks of my opinions. I don't consider you human
>>720851690I said its easier to take the game seriously in japanese and then the scene posted is a comedic scene where barely any words are even spoken kekthat scene is bad, period. the rest of the game isn't like that and everyone knows that outside of zoomers who saw that one scene on tiktok and know nothing else about the game
>>720845831It's a good game, the combat is fun and the soundtrack is great, but the praise it gets should be directed at XII. XII had the most satisfying magic system in all FFs ever. Only problem it had was that Vaan and Penelo are shoehorned and irrelevant and there was a lot of RNG bullshit (open the right chest to get the zodiac spear) and unbalanced builds, the Zodiac edition addressed it a bit but some classes were pretty much useless as well. Other than that XII was the last truly amazing FF game.
>>720851690>posts 35 seconds from a 50+ hour game>think they've made an argumentlol
>>720851643that's still literally the point of the scene.
>>720845831...as opposed to open-world slop?So which one do we hate, /v/? Make up your damn mind.
>>720852542Whatever FF 4, 5, 6, and 7 areFFX isn't thatIts a good game but clearly what led to FF13 design wise
>>720851950You have literally disqualified yourself from posting
>>720849705Imissmychildhood.Called me whatever slang term you want, but being a 13-year-old in Y2K and getting to hear Nobuo Uematsu compositions play on my family's living room television to beautiful scenery without a care in the world makes me feel really, really good.Great music.God, I love this game. At least for its music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9gXcNdtVE
>>720846141Linear works more in console because it gives you the illusion of control. You wont be looking at linear game as linear because you control the character with your joystick or pad; you move that thing in all direction when you control your mc in your playthrough. its a different story when it comes to pc port with kbm; all you have to do was to hold W in the entire game until your middle finger feels a little bit weird due to a constant-static holding for an hour or so, and when you realize about that you probably will stop and think for a moment: 'wait, did I just pressed W this entire time?' And that's like breaking the entire un-linearity illusion
>>720845831>>720845951The old games where too directionless so they made them linear to compensate. Now they make them linear and give you markers. It's a lose lose as people get dumber.
>>720847446Square Enix had more than enough time to make a proper Final Fantasy game.Why would you need a FFX remake anyways? It's barely rushed like the PS1 games, especially 9, looks great to this day too.They made a remaster and fucked up the models.Why would you want SE to touch any Squaresoft titles anyways? Did you not see what they did to FF7?
>>720852835You can use controllers on PC
>>720849157>we want the most boring thing everSpeak for yourself.
>>720852835I get where you're coming from but I've become more and more of a console gamer in my boomer age so it is not a problem.

>>720850431>Every FF is a completely linear point A to point B experienceThe difference being they actually had dungeons to explore with winding paths.
>>720845951This game is seriously so awful. I beat it last year because I just had to know. It's as bad as people say.Nice graphics, though.
I'm a simple man. I like 3 niggas in a row with overdrives that give you cinematic special skills.
>>720845831Well the hallways were pretty. Unlike yours I bet you fucking dont even have any nice pictures on your walls and just those gay ass live laugh love shit
>>7208468384-10 are the only good final fantasy games. Everything else is just trotting along. 13 is very divisive, most people very much hate it (me)
>>720853186I have the FMV of this as dynamic background on my Desktop
>>720846141Because the 9 Final Fantasies prior for 2 decades had overworlds. That's not even counting all the other JRPGs with them by square alone. Overworlds made the world feel so much bigger. There are games without hallway stuff that dont have overworlds too and they're still not as good imo
>>720847446>Kingdom Hearts loving assesWhat kind of fucking backwards ass clown bizarro Darkness huffing world do you live in where Square loves Kingdom Hearts?
>>720845831They couldn't make large open areas or even let you turn the camera because of the limited memory on the PS2. The one place that is a bit more open is just an empty field for the same reason.
>>720846141Linear doesnt mean a straight line, there is bad linear and good linear, and the one in FFX is bad linear.Super Mario Galaxy 2 is good linear.
>>720852957I want random sequels again. If they fuck it up at least it can be a funny trainwreck that you can ignore. Or you can make sequels to trainwrecks like Bouncer 2. Just anything PLEASE STOP MAKING REMAKES MAKE SOMETHING NEW I'm saying this as someone who hated 13 14 15 and especially 16
>>720852635FF12 led to FF13 design-wise
its excellent hallways.hallways that have way more shit in then than the overworlds in older FF games.
>>720853648Good man. I don't think I've used a "dynamic background" since, like, its inception use for thrills probably some 30 years ago: you have a cooler computer than me.
>>720854058>PLEASE STOP MAKING REMAKES MAKE SOMETHING NEWI think in their new plan they'll alternate between remake and new game. They'll never go the ridiculous trilogy route again, though.
>>720846261Open world jrpgs barely existed at the time if at all and there's lots of ways to design games in less linear ways than by making them open world
