Is this the most misinterpreted thing in any video game ever made? In all of fiction even?
>>
lol yt boi laugh weird
>>
it's not misinterpreted
people can understand the scene and still laugh at how absurd it is
doesn't matter, my post is +1 to your bait thread
you win
>>
>>732333079
noob

>>732332856
No, the most misinterpreted thing is that people think Zelda was a series about solving puzzles, thanks to lies Eiji Aonuma started.
>>
>>732332856
The funny part is that FFX really is full of stifled voice acting and shitty translations yet the scene best realized by the dub is the one that gets shit on
>>
>>732332856
Holy shit. What is it with FFX fans where they seem to think the laughing scene is some complicated riddle that only they have solved.

WE GET THE FUCKING SCENE, you absolute retard.

That doesn't mean that it's not obnoxious, unsubtle, and awkward. "It's supposed to be awkward". Yes, fine, but does it have to be loud and last five minutes? There were a million better ways to do the scene, but they chose the stupidest one. Now shut the fuck up.
>>
>>732338271
The entire script is awkward and unsubtle. This was just the one time where it made some sense in context
>>
>>732332856
True xister! CHUDS just lack the media literacy to understand it
>>
>>732338069
Bad English dubs were the norm for JRPGs back then, and honestly still are to a lesser extent. I think Kingdom Hearts was the one rare example of an actually good English dub that’s superior to the original audio.
>>
>>732332856
It’s because the scene is intentionally cringe, and some people are allergic to cringe.
>>
>>732338490
"It's shit, but it's SUPPOSED to be shit."

Great. I can see why morons love this game so much.
>>
>>732338651
There’s also the fact that people have a hard time distinguishing between a scene that’s cringe intentionally and a scene that’s cringe accidentally for some reason.
>>
>>732332856
its him doing a seagull impression whats there to misinterpretate
>>
>>732332856
Some of the shit people say about the Star Wars prequel trilogy is borderline schizophrenic
>>
I think what really happened is that everyone who played the game knows what it is but the hate of the scene mostly came from the part of that generation that just hates JRPGs and watched the scene on YouTube to get an easy target
>>
>>732332856
It was the bad american dub
>>
>>732338718
Yes the scene is intentionally awkward and the genuine awkwardness of the dub makes it endearing if you are a human being with functional emotions. The awkwardness is less welcome when Tidus belts out I NEED FOOD BECAUSE I AM HUNGRY after a slow sequence of him barely surviving a disaster

there have been multiple generations of children raised on retarded, socially maladjusted, machild youtubers who willfully misinterpret shit they don't like so they have an excuse to bitch about it that's not just, "I don't like it so no one should".
literal chris-chan autist shit

Japanese Tidus gave a crow impression instead.

The "flower girl = prostitute" internet urban legend thing regarding Aeris in FF7 back in the 90's is probably a far bigger misinterpreted video game thing.
>>
>>732333079
A lot of people did actually misinterpret it however
>>
>>732339185
True, but it’s hardly to only work of fiction to be misinterpreted because people missed the point of what it was going for.

>>732341691
This. Manchildren have become the new generation of media critics, and the results have been disastrous for culture and the arts.
>>
>>732338635
Yeah, I think that's thanks to Disney.
>>
>>732338271
>WE GET THE FUCKING SCENE, you absolute retard.
Most everyone gets it NOW, because how badly it was misunderstood became a meme
And it WAS misunderstood
>>
>>732343438
Definitely. Having the budget to afford Hollywood A-listers do your dub helps immensely.

Still though, I don’t know why some people try to claim most English dubs are good now. They’ve improved, sure, but they’re still bad.
>>
>>732346125
>They’ve improved, sure,
Have they? I think they've regressed. Every time I see a dub now it's just "the anime voice" for every character.

Nah, this is.

It’s a standard fairy tale trope you see in Disney movies like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty but because it happened to be a blue animal mascot instead of another human, every retard in the west spent years screeching “BEASTALITY” and “NECROPHILLA”

It probably doesn’t help that this was written by Japanese people so the 2000s xenophobia gave it a boost.

This is the same reason people make fun of pic related, even though there’s nothing actually wrong with the scene in context.
>>
>>732347653
I feel like the reason Kingdom Hearts’ cringekino gets off easier then Sonic is because the KH games themselves are still good while darker Sonic titles like Shadow & 06 were poorly received overall so they lacked the luxury of having good gameplay.

Goofy’s supposed death in KH2 was genuinely meant to be sad but it was mocked and laughed in the face of every Western player because Goofy to us is not only a cartoon dog and is historically meant to be a funny comedic character so to see him “die” in this weird anime game is bizarre to many.

I think Sonic gets this same treatment because despite being a Japanese creation, he was heavily marketed with America in mind as a radical tubular mascot so to have him written with Sonic Team’s Japanese storytelling and actual vision confused many millennials who grew up with a verison of Sonic that was never Sonic to begin with, I blame Tom Kalinski.

>>732338635
The voice acting in Kingdom Hearts kind of bothers me immensely.
The VAs for the Disney side of things are real talent, that much is very easily noticeable. But on the flip side of things, it's also very obvious that they were not used to and lacked the experience of voice acting such a weeb chuuni story, and somehow the voice directors or whatever could not help them get over that hurdle. So as a result you've got very skilled voice acting from them that frequently stumbles whenever the game goes chuuni, which is like most of Kingdom Hearts. So it's kind of painful to listen to.
Which is not at all made better by how the voice acting for the original cast sucks fucking donkey dick. And having those hacks have dialogue with the out-of-their-element, yet veteran VAs, as all of them stumble through the dialogue. Is just awful.
>>
>>732348707
I think it’s also due to the toxic Anglo mindset that cartoons are meant for kids, so anything that puts anthro animals in serious situations is seen as “weird” by English speaking audiences. Other countries and cultures can accept anthro characters in serious situations fine because the “cartoons are for kids” sentiment never caught on there.

The fact that millennials are allergic to sincere and earnest melodrama also doesn’t help.
>>
>>732332856
It was because of gamespot or w.e goofing on this scene
>>
>>732341782
I think i uniquely hate this one. Because even though HA HA HA is really bad, you can write that off as secondaries watching a YTP and going off of that. I mean that's still bad. But the Aerith = prostitute thing comes from a fucking doujin. Which means I have to watch fucking dipshits argue canon events from FUCKING PORN! That they may or may not have even read.

I don't know,
>Actually Ansem wasn't Ansem nor was he Ansem's Heartless, he was Xehanort's Heartless that decided to call himself Ansem even though Ansem is some other guy entirely
still sits wrong with me to this day.
>>
>>732348953
I feel the same way and I think it’s because most of the Disney characters in KH are voiced by veteran cartoon VAs so they all sound very natural, even the impersonators for characters they couldn’t get their original VA did a good job for the most parts

Meanwhile, a good chunk of the KH-original and FF characters are all voiced by random former child actors or tv celebrities who absolutely suck ass at voice acting save for a few exceptions like Haley Joel or Jesse McCartney, only few of them are voiced by actual cartoon/game/anime voice actors.
>>
>>732350113
And that means it's not bad writing. Because not only was it intentional, not only does it set up actual characterization, but it also sets up 2 big moments later in the game. Which is downright efficient good writing
>>
>>732332856
I already accepted the grand majority of people are retarded and unable to understand any nuance. You can see it with how stupid the political world is with retards falling for the same shit over and over and over and over again.
Things go to shit? Vote blue. Things go to shit. Vote red. Things go to shit. Vote blue. 100 years later and things have only progressively gotten worse... Time to go vote for the opposite of whoever won before for the millionth time.

>>732350293
I can write intentionally shit cringe literature too. You can also intentionally pretenend to be retarded or not. It's still cringe.

Lack of nuance is why I don't want FFX touched. Case in point: Wakka. The whole deal with Wakka isn't too justify racism but rather to highlight how it's possible to hate a people you've never even met. Everyone recognizes Rikku's spiral eyes except for Wakka, who has the strongest opinion on the Al Bhed. Rikku asks questions about the Al Bhed, but rather than engage with any of them, he just asks Rikku other questions who, unlike him, Rikku can bluntly say that she doesn't know. But Wakka isn't presented as a fundamentally bad person either, just someone who's been lied to and has had that lie reinforced by events entirely outside of his control. If a good person grew up with a bias, is he no longer a good person.

The character of Wakka CANNOT exist in the current age. The people who played the game get too caught up in racist Wakka memes and the people who haven't judge the entire character on the memes they see second hand. Could you imagine the amount of disclaimers SE would have to include just to get the same message from 2001 across?

IMO, the only straight up bad KH original/ FF character VA is KH2 Aerith— she’s truly awful, which is weird considering her VA in KH1 is great.

You might say Aqua’s VA was a bit rough too, but her voice fits the character and she improves even as BBS goes on.

man KH1 voice acting for SE and OG cast is wild with all that Disney money, surprised they kept the main trio despite being actors
