Let's play FFIV if it was a fanfiction written by someone who really...REALLY hated women, and didn't want ANY female love interests around for Cecil. Ladies(Male) and gentlemen, I've got booze, and happy New Year. This is Final fantasy IV: Alter Destiny.
so as we go through the opening cutscene, I'll mention that I'm streaming live and drinking. Per global rules, I can't link the twitch or post my name, but you can search by game(the 2012 version). I'm pretty easy to find.Take a shot for >fanfic writing>Gay shit>The writer HATES women> Cringe
I believe this whole game was made in RPGMaker, and sometimes, you can tell.
>>729767208Oh, a Nigger thread for new years and it's not "Mario Jumpman Mario can't jump the fucking chasm". >you've played FFIVYeah but I never played After Years, so this'll be a good replacement I'm sure
Welcome back nigger.
so they absolutely broke the gameplay in this version. Darkness is FUCKING CRACKED.

>>729767718how new?
>>729767208>The sequels, Final Fantasy II and III, sold far more poorly, and were, consequently, not released outside of Japan.Good to know FF was cursed from the start.
Tonight's cocktail: The Forgotten Face of your Father, a creation of mine:>1 shot vodka>1 shot orange gin>1 shot melon liqueur>1 shot blue Curacao>1/2 shot lemon juice>filled with cranberry juice
It was always weird the way the king spoke to baigan here.
>Kain>part of the red wings
>no Rosa themeshame.
oh there it is.
missed a screenshot. Cecil randomly throws in "As a dark knight, we can never be together"...which I'm 90% sure wasn't in the original game. The fuck?
FUCK I love the main theme of FF.
>Jump is literally a free damage upgrade, that has no charge up
first boss is free, but the ATB freezes as soon as someone takes their turn.
*gasp* we were sent to bomb the summoner village!
>Kain turns coat with you immediately, starts figuring out the ally situation
and after Rydia uses Titan...she's nowhere to be seen, and Kain is still with us.Because fuck rydia. That's a drink.
>>729768893Le bombe ring is... le bombe????
>Hylian Shield on the wall
>Rosa did NOT come after us because she was worried, leaving to being antlion feverBecause Fuck Rosa too. That's another drink.
Tellah joins instead of Rydia
onto the next boss. The early FFIV doesn't seem to have been changed much.
>>729767208>The game sold incredibly well in Japan, though when it released around the world, its reception was mediocre, but not horrible>The sequels, Final Fantasy II and III, sold far more poorly, and were, consequently, not released outside of Japan.>>Then, in 1992, Squaresoft attempted another foray into the rest of the world, in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

Almost none of this is true.
RIP Damcyan.
>>729770004isn't it? I thought it got middling reviews because it was too hard, and the success of mystic quest is why FFIV got released internationally.Also, FFII and III did do poorly compared to I.
>that garbage clipping on the antlion
>>729770286mystic quest didn't even come out until after IV. 1 was decently successful in the US when it came out and they were translating II but it was already 1991 and the SNES was about to come out so they just decided to go with IV instead. II and III sold way more than 1 in Japan. III sold over a million copies. 1 only sold like 500,000.
>>729770460huh, well I guess I'm retarded.Also we're just fighting the antlion now instead of going into the cave for the gem to cure Rosa.
RIP edward's waifu.
Time for YOU SPOONY BARD and a scripted fight, after which edward joins the party.
>dumb women being dumbthat's a drink
so, uh...there's no ghost anna cutscene.
and...TELLAH FUCKING KILLS EDWARD
>I don't like this character so I made him diewell that's some fanfic writing. DRINK.
so for a tally of changes so far:>Rosa never left Baron castle I guess, so no Rosa>Rydia didn't get knocked out by summoning Titan, leading Cecil to save her and make atonement for Mist. This means Rydia doesn't ever forgive him>Kain stayed with Cecil, meaning no Golbez brainwashing because he's in love with Rosa>Edward FUCKING DIED
>Yang KEEYAH's his way through two enemieswe jason david frank now.
mommy bombey
>>729771342That's a big bomb
>>729771382U U U U
I guess Edward's exposition dump before getting killed was good for something
so who's your favourite final fantasy big villain (prior to the modern games)? I included the villains in the dissidia games.https://strawpoll.com/poy9kxQ9JgJ
Yes. The ENTIRE royal family of Damcyan died in the Baron attack.
cecil's darkness only takes like 10 HP
>ROSA was the one who got brainwashed instead of KainHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
well, that's it, that's our story, good night!
ah shit, I missed Tellah calling her a harlot. That's a drink.
ENTER
>I HATE WOMENwritten by an incel or a woman?
>changing namingway to just changing windowst-thanks
>the alternatives are all trashLAME
so what hte fuck is going to be the logic since in the actual game, Leviathan is seeking out Rydia?
Will playing this game get me laid?
>She was like a mother to me
>>729773357yes.
These threads should stay on /vrpg/. They're kind of awful. I don't care what you're doing if you don't have an intelligent opinion on something, a literal chatbot could make a better thread than this. Its just lazy.
Oh hi Leviathan. Sorry, I don't have a super gifted Summoner with us. >>729773525how new?
There is...no explanation.>>729773357nothing else has worked, so why not try?
and onto Mysidia again.
>poisoned by the bartender
time for Paladin Cecil.
>a woman is joining cecil*gasp*
>>729773974>Cecil only admits lolisholy fucking BASED
>>729774057what about Rydia?
how the fuck did Tellah beat us here?
>>729774229Cecil kind of fumbled it by blowing up her hometown
dat ass.

Think they'll ever be another Final Fantasy game that will be relevant to the mainstream again? And I don't mean having a bunch of 40 year olds who grew up with the series buying it I mean full zeitgeist manifestation.
>>729774712Peak FF interest timed with the 90s anime craze hitting a fever pitch. You will need another perfect storm and/or a revived Japanese economy. Outlook unlikely, never say impossible.
>can't instagib scarmiglione with a phoenix downRIP.
>>729767208I thought Mystic Quest came out after 4
>>729774712I seriously doubt it.
>>729774827would a revived JP economy really do anything when JP culture, or at least anime, is still becoming more and more popular and mainstream?a better global economy where people can afford to buy things might help more. Its hard to justify an expensive ass pc or console when you can barely afford to pay the bills.Even really shitty anime get praised and eaten up.
>>729770460yes ff3 is the goat nes jrpg, everyone should play it
>hey, you know how this fight is super climactic, because Cecil has to confront his inner conflict, and win not through conflict, but peace?>nah, fuck that. BEAT UP DARK KNIGHT CECILThat's a drink.
>>729775050>is undead>dies
Thanks this'll be a fun watchI grew up with IV and its my favorite so I'm curious how badly they butcher it
CECIL BECAME A -WHAT-?!
>>729774827It's something I've been thinking about ever since that story from like a decade ago came out where SE execs were freaking out because children only knew Final Fantasy via the rythm games on the 3DS. Hell growing up in the 2000s no one my age talked about FF besides Kingdom Hearts, I only ever saw it discussed on forums and newgrounds parodies I shouldn't have been seeing at that age. Just feels weird that this franchise I had been told all my life was a "staple" was only that way for the millenials that came before me. I think the closest we got was the covid FF14 boom but that seems shot now too.
>hey, you know how Cecil has to reject his darkness to become a warrior of light(roll credits)?>nah, fuck that, he's a super special knight who uses light AND darkness!!!
>>729775246Kino twist
>>729775151>man conquers his demons through pure willpower and egoHow is this a bad thing?
YOU GET IT?BECAUSE THE AFTER YEARS EXISTS?!
We T.G. Cid now.
SUDDENLY ADULT RYDIA
Boss time.
FUCKING WHAT?Okay, so I played the first few hours of this game before I replaced my PC like a year ago, and I did get to fell knight Cecil...but I do NOT remember this.
>>729775505GILRUGAMESH
at least it comes with a banger cover of Battle on the Big Bridge.
>uses protect and shell
and I guess...Rydia is now a villain.That's a drink.
>>729775505Greg!
>palom breaks the Hold on her to attack rydia
sorry, himself.
AND JUST LIKE THAT, PALOM IS FUCKING DEADHAHAAHHAAHAHAHHAHAA
so, uh...how the FUCK is cecil going to survive Baron castle now?
>>729776127RIP T_T
weird ass choice of aesthetic for an rpgmaker fan game, not just using the SNES sprites or something
>>729776164with the will of the warrior.
I just noticed the blood pool around Palom's corpse.I guess flare didn't cauterize the wound?
>>729776127lmao whaaaaat
>>729776127I HATE YOU RRRYYYDDDIIIAAAAAA
"Well, he encountered a woman."
...why are they already speaking about the Lunar Whale?
Better than whatever Squeenix shits out these days
>>729776770because the lunar japanese are hunting them to extinction.
>mods ban me for calling people niggers>this tripfag literally calls himself nigger and is allowed to stay yet he never actually plays anything /v/-adjacent like dwarf fortress or x-com ufo defenseyou could at least play something challenging like the FF1 ultra hard hack and not the equivalent of a deviantart fanfiction you niggrish faggot
>get back to baron>kain is aggro
beat him back into sense. He's good now.
That's...NOT an explanation, Cecil.
