How did Matsuno and Yoshida somehow manage to fucking outdo Tetsuya Nomura of all people and somehow design a more homosexual villain for their game than Sephiroth?
Amputee fetish
>>736166826>Sydney is a blond young man who appears to be in his late 20s. He is 178 cm tall. His hands and legs are prosthetics crafted from Hagane metal, the hands complete with clawed fingers, as he claims to have given his "limbs to the gods", having lost them during a childhood illness. He wears nothing to cover his upper body, exposing the "Blood-Sin" tattoo on his back, which appeared around the same time he lost his limbs. Huh, you know what I played the game as a kid so I didn't actually remember any of the story since I don't think I read anything in games back then so I actually never knew both his arms and legs were prosthetics.I always just assumed it was only the hands and he just had like gauntlets on as a weapon or something.
>>736166625they weren't the only ones at squaresoft trying to outgay nomura
>>736166625Good question, I must ponder this
>>736167175Who?
>>736167341itahana designed kuja
>>736167054>full quadruple amputee>villainbro is literally just a nugget with a headhow is he supposed to be intimidating?
>>736166625
>>736167054There was a scene in which he threw one of his hands away and it moved on its own.
>>736168028Those are spooky magic limbs he has
>>736168293>ashley with the almost apron shirt and assless chaps>sydney with the bare body and that bulgeit's like they were perfectly crafted to complete each othersurprised i never saw any art of sydney hotdogging those buns
>>736168374
>>736166625this game's gameplay is so absolutely dogshit, I can't believe that anyone has actually finished it. The music is good
>>736168374Oh yeah I think I vaguely remember that, but it's been a long time.I think I just chucked it to magic or something, he got shot in the heart with an arrow and didn't die so it's not that big of a stretch.
>>736168539What's wrong with the gameplay?I beat it when I was like 8 and don't remember having any issues with it.
>>736168539My original disc is so scratched it takes 5 to 10 minutes to cast spells and break arts
>>736166625>Sydney Lost a lot (of limbs)
>>736168897>ah yes our new character is carred shidnee rostarot, get it because he rost a rot of rimbs haha
>>736168634it's super slow and the weapon system is confusing as hell and aids. Even after watching youtube videos explicitly explaining things it is still opaque.
>>736168634Literally every fight is: pause, find their weakness, pause to make sure you have the right weapon, then do these really slow combos until the fight ends. And you can fuck yourself over by making weapons not good and then boss fights will take like 20 minutes because you'll be doing 10 damage.
>>736169092>it's super slowff7 is like twice as long, this game is really short>weapon systemi sincerely hope you mean the crafting?and not the affinities, because those are very simple and easy to understandyou smack enemy with the thing it's weak at, eventually if you keep smacking enough enemies with it the property changesthat's literally itthe crafting is a little complex if you wanna make the perfect weapon but it's completely unnecessary since you can beat the game without ever doing it>>736169273i mean it's a turn based game, the pauses are just turns>then do these really slow combos they're literally faster than one spell animation in ffmost enemies die in like 5 hits which takes a few seconds>And you can fuck yourself over by making weapons not good and then boss fights will take like 20 minutes because you'll be doing 10 damage.i mean... yeahprepare better?what's wrong with being punished for not playing the game?if you wanna just bumrush blindly and oogabooga bosses of course you'll get your shit pushed inbut the same applies to any jrpg, it's the same as not bringing enough restorative items or bringing wrong party members for the fight, that's on you buddy
>>736169520>ff7 is like twice as long, this game is really shortI'm not talking about the length of the game, I mean the minute to minute combat and the menu navigation
>>736169960>I mean the minute to minute combat and the menu navigationthat's also similar?
>>736170580when i played it it felt glacially slow
>>736170656dunno
literally, LITERALLY top 5 game of all time
>>736169092>mad cuz badmany such cases
>>736168634>What's wrong with the gameplay?Pretty much everything.>Body part targeting is a meme because most enemies don't have actual thought put into their zones and there's either no reason to mash or target one specific body part for max hit rate>Chain system (and consequently weapon and stat system) is entirely invalidated by flat damage chains>Weapon forging system is convoluted for no reason at all as 90% of weapon types do nothing and your material+three slot hilt are the bread winner here>Materials themselves are poorly damaged because Damascus>Hagane>>>everything else>Weapon growth/stat system is meaningless because enemy type multipliers do nothing and elemental weaknesses work on flat thresholds so any element that goes over 50-60 deals true damage, and again, three slot hilts with 30 element gems do all the heavy lifting>Break Arts are abysmal dogshit outside of the staff BA that reduces Risk, no reason to ever use any of them outside of damaging yourself with them to power up Raging Ache for superior flat damage>Magic is abysmal dogshit until NG+2 because it mostly runs off your core stats which are RNG rolls on boss fights of wines, plus most offensive grimoires are either RNG drops from arbitrary enemies and the AoE ones are dogshit until L4 which is NG+ cycles only stuff, any buff that isn't a Shaman elemental buff is also dogshit.>Healing Counters restore flat health AFTER the damage calculation is done as an entirely separate calculation so you literally can't die at any point in the game, especially because Magic Ward also protects you against Death spells that bypass damage and CountersLike all Matsuno games it's a fucking mess, but VS is his worst game by far because NOTHING works or makes sense mechanically, to be fair it's because the game was notoriously rushed and was axed mid development, it needed at least one more year in the oven.
>>736166625he literally just copied Star Wars. They was the whole story of how the two met.
