>the only black guy to ever be in a squaresoft game>the most stereotypical nigga ass black mister t sounding mofugga with a gun obsessionWhy is there not more outrage about the racism of Japan?
>>737089950>the only black guy to ever be in a squaresoft gameWrong
>>737089950>the only black guy to ever be in a squaresoft gamenot, true, you have your detective pal in parasite eve
>>737089950Hes one of the coolest dudes in gaming. Strong, loving dad, badass, etc. I dont see why anyone black or otherwise would be upset by his portrayal because hes a very positive character.
General LeoKiroswere also black
>>737089950>AC first comes out and we all see him with cornrows
>>737089950I like how nobody even mentioned this guy yet, and instead named more obscure examples, as if we all blocked out FF13 from our brains
Barret is a soft dude underneath that hides behind a tough exterior like a turtle. A real racist Japanese character is pic related.
>>737089950>>737090437black people actually behave like them
>>737090028>woke characterNo wonder it shit.
>>737090070His voice sounds like really bad Mr. T impression; the forceful gruffness and hammy delivery is embarrassing. Barret deserves a more natural voice, simple as.
>>737090028plus the guy in 2>>737090418OP said squareSOFT
>>737090418Sazh is from a Square Enix game. OP said SquareSoft.>>737090514Ok Jeet
>>737089950>>the only black guy to ever be in a squaresoft gameRetard
>>737090514Woke was around long before it was given a titleLate 70s, early 80s, if i'm not mistaken. Maybe even before that. But it gripped hard in the 90s
>>737090467barret is a serious dude. b is one big parody. its like Boyz n the Hood vs Dont be a menace
>>737089950Japanese don't know how to write Americans so they either just write them like a japanese character or copy what they see on TV
>>737089950>>the most stereotypical nigga ass black mister t sounding mofugga with a gun obsessionYeah, but he was cool. Maybe even the coolest character in the game.Nobody gives a shit about stereotypes if they're portrayed positively. Nothing about Barret's personality is shown to be something he should be ashamed of, and the cast mostly welcomes his over-the-top shenanigans.We need more cool giganiggas with a heart of gold in games and media, not less. Rarely are they not appreciated by anyone that isn't compromised one way or the other.
>>737090514>Daniel>WokeObscene retardation>ESLLol, makes sense.
>>737089950>raises another man's childYup. He's a broken buck alright.
>>737089950Nah, Barret can actually support a family
>>737092664No he can't. He's defined by being a terrible father. Cloud and Tifa have to take care of his daughter after FF7 because Barrett was such a deadbeat.
>>737092736Cloud bailed too, Tifa was left to do it alone.
>>737089950>Why is there not more outrage about the racism of Japan?Black americans whine about japan being racist every day and they're the only ones that actually care enough to try and slander japan
>>737089950They should bring back mister T type of black guy in media again. He is the only one to redeem actual niggers and can even alleviate nigger fatigue from humans. I'm tired of the current black woman worship, not even black dudes like them.
>>737096206No they don't. Don't confuse black Americans with white liberals who feel they can speak for them.
>>737097948Like you're doing right now?
He was 1000 times better in the original and it pisses me off
>>737095118>Single woman raising a black man's daughter and she's not even the motherThat's a level of cucked I didn't know was possible.
>>737096391Why is gentrification in there? The whole point of criticism there is when you raise the property value of the location without raising the wages of the people who live there assuming they're hired at all. Forcing them to move out of places they always lived. That's literally Shinra 101 and the reason why everyone in the Slums hates the top siders
>>737090636It was called PC in the 90s. That's where south park got the whole "PC Principal" thing from.They were also making fun of it hard back then just like now. See: PCU. You get to watch david spade as an unapologetic mayflowerist, jeremy piven in a vanity project, and Happy Hogan as a completely fried out mosher, all in the same film.Also MEATTOSSER.
>>737090049oh wow look at that you managed to make the same exact post someone else did a whole minute later dumb reddit nigger
Remember when Cloud called him a Nigger and Barret said at least he doesn't have bug eyes?
>>737089950Because Barret is a cool dude and clearly intended to be seen as such by the creaters.
>>737098027Holy fuck that's funny. Does Barrett talk like that the whole game?
>>737103264Most of it. In OG 7, you picked which party members were coming with you, so what dialogue you saw in a given scene was usually whoever you had with you rather than just everybody.So if you wanted to see a lot of Barret, you had to bring him, and he's not as good in 7 as he is in 7r.
>>737089950>the most stereotypical niggathis is what makes him feel real and relatable. they also gave him the best backstory and character moment.
>>737089950>the only black guy
>>737106551Suicide was cringe.Rebirth handled it better.
>>737106848this must be bait, lmao.
>>737106848I don't even remember how it was handled in recringe. That's how generic and forgettable it was
>>737106848Did you jizz your pants when the comic relief character showed up out of nowhere 5 seconds later?
>>737095118No he didn't, Cloud just has a job. He goes back and spends time with Tifa, Marlene and Denzel when he isn't working or dealing with weird fags like the Turks.That's how children are supposed to be raised.
>>737099647Dyne was white
>>737107063Barret joined back too in DoC
>>737106848when I play OG I think about bebop, eva and fma. when I play REMAKE I think about netflix, disney and hollywood. you have shit taste my man.
>>737090643>>737090437Eh, Killer B isn't really racist, he too is taken seriously, the guy is just so strong he himself doesn't take many people seriously.He's the kind of character that happens when someone combines a bunch of things they like into one character, like how hes a wrestler
>>737089950Barret is one of the deeper characters in the game and has many sympathetic moments. When they remade the game they also made him the most handsome character in the game.>>737090437Bee is popular and well-liked.
>>737090643Bee is meant to be a funny character but his character is taken very seriously in the show.
>>737106848Do you think the remakes did anything badly?
>>737107708When I play either I think about FF7Sounds like you need to learn how to focus
>>737108042
>>737089950cuz he takes care of his daughter
>>737108206Sorry I'm gonna need you to filter whatever point you want to make through a few more layers of pop culture before it can click
>>737108319try focusing, you said you were the master of focusing.
>>737108296A stranger that happens to have raised another stranger who just recently met a man that Barett openly hates and doesn't trust spends more time taking care of his daughter than he doesHe will fob her off on literally anyone and if nobody will take her then she gets locked in a secret hidden basement not entirely unlike Fritzl, not the same either but there are similarities
>>737089950soul
>>737107097Really? Are you sure?
>>737108641How else could there only ever have been 1 black guy?
>>737108770Well "guy" is gender specific and Barrett (male) had a daughter (female), so yeah. To be honest I've never played a FF game. I just knew that Barrett was a bad parent and made Cloud/Tifa take the reins, lol.
>>737109164Well then maybe you should keep your fucking mouth shut if you don't actually know
>>737109249How the fuck could a black guy have a white daughter? That's all I'm asking.
>>737108515well, aint easy to do when you are also trying to save the world on the side
>>737089950>takes care of his* kidThe direct opposite of a stereotypical black
>>737090564>OP said squareSOFTThen OP shouldn't have included an image of remake Barret, eh?It's safer to assume he's simply retarded and means squareenix by the image he posted
>>737109454He also abandons her after the world has been saved
>>737109602This. In Advent Children Tifa and Cloud are more parental towards Marlene than Barrett is, and Cloud outright makes a living riding off to parts unknown.
>>737109164>To be honest I've never played a FF game.Then shut the fuck up and stop talking about things you dont know.
Let me just get this straight. Is Barrett a farther, or not? Does he actually have a child, or is he a big cuck?
>>737107931The only people who like Bee are people who like Hinata NTR.
>>737110413That seems to be most of the Naruto fanbase, to be fair
>>737089950he sounds like an 80s black guy, noone thinks that's racist.
>>737089950Because Barrett is a well written character, him and Yuffie had the biggest glowup in the remake series.
unplayer bait thread
>>737111425>him and Yuffie had the biggest glowup in the remake series.Every character had a glow up retard, in the OG game every character was just a shitty low poly model
>>737089950>the only black guy to ever be in a squaresoft gameHe wasn't even the first.
>>737111679What would be a valid criticism of remake?
>>737090028Arr Parasite Eve games good if I like ps1 era squaresoft and RE/Dino Crisis etc
>>737090418>as ifi skipped 13 outright
>>737106848Rebirth is still suicide, but by getting shot by soldiers. He could easily kill them all or escape if he wanted.
>>737089950Your first sentence was a lie
>>737107063Nojima specifically mentioned she was left behind by Cloud and Barret. She wears the same ring as Barret. Barret left her to raise their daughter alone.
>>737089950Barrett is a Strogg Enforcer
>>737107063
>>7371125091's fine. 2's divisive. 3B is pretty much the worst thing any of its staff ever worked on.
>>737106928Dyne isn't sorry and he doesn't forgive Barret. He dies by suicide by cop and tells Barret to live with the guilt.
>>737099647It's implied Barret did marry her before abandoning her. Don't know if that makes it better.
>>737090520>voice>ff7
>>737112013I was about to post this.One of the most powerful individuals in the game he was in, to boot.>>737113835I loved 2 as much as 1, for different reasons.
Just a reminder that most of you like Barret because you played FF7 before Youtubers told you to be mad and racist
>>737113950>rings on wrong hands and fingersReally, son?
>>737114014take a closer look at the OP!
>>737113559Quake 2 and FF7 were the best games of 1997-1998
>>737089950If you think that of Barrett fucking Wallace, you probably didn't play the game
>>737114427Wedding rings are worn differently in Midgar, for all we know.
>>737089950he was cool though so no one cares
>>737114134you didn't know how to use a toilet until someone else showed you. doesn't mean shitting in your diapers was the right way to live.
Why did they make him white for this minigame?
>>737113950>marrying someone before abandoning thenThat would in fact make it worse, my dude.
>>737106848>>737106551I dont think either was good, both have flaws.The original had bad plotting overall but it did that specific dyne moment good, but everything around it was bad. Meanwhile rebirth tried to iron out some wonky stuff from the original but they also added new mistakes like the immediate fight after dyne or not making Corel prison either like the OG or actually manage to deliver their own version they shilled.I would have written it differently.
>>737116573Barret is not meant to be a villainous character, the promise is he'll come back to her and their daughter one day after he finishes what he left to do.
>the only black guy
>>737098027as a kid I never understood why he was talking about pizzas out of nowhere and was very confused. yeah i was kind of a retard with no imagination. didn't change much.
>>737114134Youtubers are wrong about everything. That's not news.
>>737120369True. Max's hype for 7R was all I needed to see to know it was a dumpster fire.
>>737089950When this game came out, Mr. T was a very popular and relevant celebrity. He's still a positive role model to this day. There are more offensive stereotypes to take umbrage with than taking character inspiration from a good person.
Stereotypical giga nigga is the only good black archtype Everything else is just a smelly nigger that should be deleted
>the only black character in square-enixYou're wrong. Perel, Xehanort, Sazh
>>737089950>>737090437barret is my favorite ff7 character and killer b is my favorite naruto character so they must be doing something rightwhy can't west make cool black man like carl weathers?
Barkley RPG has the best black cast out of any game ever made.
>>737107708Prove that you've played the original.Post gameplay of you now
>>737089950>Why is there not more outrage about the racism of Japan?because Mr.T is cool and Barret is the moral heart of the story?
>>737096391>t. Polfag
>>737089950I find Cordy's design to be amusing because it's not just 'anime girl but dark skinned' like most things do. They actually designed her to look african.Anyway, Front Mission 2 is already a weird game, anyway. Quite literally the only JRPG set in Bangladesh.
>>737089950>the only black guy to ever be in a squaresoft game
>>737113835>3B is pretty much the worst thing any of its staff ever worked on.wierd take. i've played it last year and thought it was a decent action game, especially for PSP standards
>>737089950Black people fucking love Barrett.
>>737125837this chick has body type 0, holy shit
>>737125987>type 0that's cool. Type 0 girls are really hot
Best black character = BarretBest white character = Cid
>>737089950I liked old Barret, I like new Barret. For all the shit the remakes screwed up they handled Barrett masterfully in the minefield that was 2020.A masterclass on how to do minorities right.
>>737125768Thats pretty funny.
>>737089950>the only black>what is parasite eve>what is XIII>what is Paradise>he's not black he is okinawanOKINAWA!!!! NOT NIGGER!!!
>>737090514>>737090514mental retardation itp
>>737090418>>737112809Funniest part is Squaresoft polled normies. Lightning was their most recognized protagonist, way ahead of absolutely everyone else but Cloud. There most successful branding is for there worst game.
A V A L A N C H ELOCAL FLORISTLAB RAT DOG
>>737126132Indeed
>>737126494Then it was some retarded poll. Cloud is a tier above Lightning recognition wise. Sephiroth might be even ahead of him
>>737126585
>>737126672>normies
>>737092736>deadbeatBlud was pulling six figures usd as a mining surveyor. No more loansharks, no more canned geezard.
>>737126824Why would lightning be more recognizable than cloud? Cloud is in smash. Cloud is everywhere
>>737126898You keep referencing video games. My bets the porn but who knows the reasoning behind 20yrold women.
>>737089950Forgetting someone?
>>737126898I never played Final Fantasy but Lightning was also the first protagonist of them I learned about and what I associated with the series for a long time. Can't remember how or why anymore>t. Zoomgod
>>737125987the game was written by Motomu Toriyama, the same guy who wrote and directed the FF13 trilogy and created Lightning as his perfect waifu. the man seems to have a thing for really slender girls with really slim and athletic bodies I don't blame him desu
>>737089950>nigga ass black mister t soundingas opposed to the cracka ass white mister t?
>>737127315Awful series but the main character was not the problem. In fact shes the strength that kept it alive WAY past expirey. She was too good.
>>737126494She became recognizable because SE kept shilling her in everything until 2B took her place and the new collab queen.
>>737127315Thats a man.
>>737127669Just when you think your dick could not get any harder. BAM!
>>737089950The point of having an aggressive cursing guy is so once an even bigger aggressive cursing guy shows up, he won't feel like a fish out of water.
>>737127190Probably because XIII came out when it did. The first FF character I knew about was Genesis thanks to yt recommending me his fight vs sephiroth and angeal. But still really doubt cloud isn't n1
>>737127813Cid's 32 years old.
>>737090028I saw someone call them Cloud and Barret and I can't unsee it because their character arcs are so similar.
>>737096206No....We don't.
>>737099647You forgot her “””boyfriend””” left her for a dead woman
>>737106848I agree I like Dyne being hunted down and dying to Shinra soldiers and giving a little speech to Barrett, but fucking Palmer>>737106946 right after plus the weirdly long minigame of shooting the helicopter after ruined it.That said, the OG had the chocobo race placed after the Dyne scene so it had the same shit happen anyways. Moving the chocobo race beforehand, and Gus in general, was done better in Rebirth
>>737129253Larping is gay
>>737126114Cater > Deuce > Cinque > Queen > Sice > Seven
>>737090028They need to port this
>>737124318I've played it many times. I think I played it 3 times on psx alone, once I did a 100% run, then a couple of times I played the PC version and maybe 4 times on emulator. I didn't play the whole game every time, I had situations where my disk drive died, then later on when my PC died, so I lost 2 runs in the middle of the run. this is across the last 25 years. the only other FFs I played more than 3 times are ff6, ff8, ff9 and ff12. I started the new threat 2 a few weeks ago (pic related), but I don't have time to rush through it.
>>737089950I played one of these games as kid don't know which. Started with a dude leaving the castle on a dragon and a meteor crashing. There were pirates too.
>>737127315Why was he so obsessed with her anyway? Not even Nomura went as far as he did, did he?
>>737132036That was FF5. It has light story but super class and customization for SNES game
>>737090418Squaresoft, nigga. Read. Also, Sazh is unironically one of the best FF characters
>>737112809You should give it a try and form your own opinion
>>737132036That or disc 1 of FF8 was the peak of the franchise. If you didnt love the first 3rd of FF5 the series is not for you as it never gets any better.
>>737132721She was his perfect waifu. Toriyama likes the strong, badass, cold, semi-kuudere types, so he created the perfect one in the form of a jap video game character. He loved her so much that he not only made an entire video game trilogy for her, but also made her breasts bigger throughout the series, made her go to the real world at the end of her final game, and put her in real life fashion advertisements (the were also rumors about him going to the red light district in Tokyo aka Kabuchiko and hiring a specific fetishistic cosplayer prostitue who happened to have Lightning's body type to dress up like Lightning and act like her. Just rumors tho). It's not just him either. Japan also always loved Lightning, which is why she consistently won first place in FF character popularity polls for many years. Japanese players also viewed her as a perfect waifu. Toriyama wasn't alone. Over here in the West, we view an overly cold, emotionless personality as a sign of autism or bitchiness, but over in Japan, it's a sign of inner strength, pure coolness, and sexiness.
>>7371125091 is a fun, experimental action RPG with a charming story and cast that's a lot more approachable than, say, the nightmare tactical systems and difficulty of Vagrant Story, and honestly I'm not shocked two separate developers are making their own spiritual successors. 2 is Resident Evil but the anime cranked up for good and bad. Third Birthday is an okay if strange shooter on the PSP, but an absolute nightmare for PE fans that wish to ignore it ever happened.
>>737128564Shera fucking everything up for him aged him +20 years.
>>737090636>if I call everything woke I can make my brainrotted war on culture sound normal!!
>>737133734>He loved her so much that he not only made an entire video game trilogy for her, but also made her breasts bigger throughout the series,
>>737099806It's not saying gentrification doesn't happen or isn't a problem, it's that it's dishonestly invoked to make whites permanently guilty of racism no matter what they do.
>>737124513>I have no refutation so I'll just attack the poster
>>737134227they even got /pol/fag wrong so you know its some shitter newfag
>>737107708>When I play the original I think of the oldgoyslop>When I play the new I think of the newgoyslop
>>737089950OG Barret is shouty black man, remake trilogy Barret is an actual character.
>>737134148You gunna be okay anon? Need a hug for that fragile ego of yours? Considering how oppressed you are.
>>737136968but "new"goyslop is mostly consumed by boomers. do you think zoomers care about star wars or marvel movies? this is exactly the biggest problem with square enix and final fantasy series. since sakaguchi and uematsu left they were unable to connect with new generations of gamers. zoomers couldn't care less about ff7 remake. only millenials with shit taste and buyer's remorse defend time jannies, new timelines, and other bullshit.
>>737137590As a zoomer that isn't interested in Final Fantasy I can say there's an easy solution to this. Make a sequel to Jack's gamI tried FF7 remake and I got bored of the endless Sony walk&talk cutscenes, if you cut that out and just leave the combat in it was pretty alright for what little I played
>>737125987Yeah I know, it's really hot
OG Barret is Mr. T and I pity the foo who didn't like him.
He was never black. Thinking all dark-skinned people are black is we-wuzzery. He doesn't even look black in the remake.
>>737089950Barrett was cool and there weren't disingenuous shitposting faggots like you trying to fabricate fake racial strife over nothing 30 years ago.
>>737143750He talks like a black man
>>737143917>western dubs are trashand?
>>737090028I fucking love Daniel.
>>737144232>Dives through a literal instant death zone to throw Aya the bullets she needs to kill the final boss while on fireHe might be the coolest black guy in all of gaming.
>>737144541Holy f that was stupid
>>737144541Holy f that was based
>>737144661Parasite Eve is a very stupid game. In a good way.
>>737090437Shut up whitey. Killah B is a great black character and I won't appreciate this slander
>>737097994Burden of proof is on you. Show me where black Americans are slandering Japan.
>>737089950turns out blacks love based niggas like mr t much like whites like chad thundercocks>>737090418sazh was by far the best part of 13, just a guy trying to be a good dad despite probably being in the worst situation possible. also having a chocobo in his 'fro
>>737103264Cid's even worse (better) in that regardBro goes off on his bitch wife for ruining his career in front of the whole squad
>>737089950Because Barret is cool and the best character in FF7
>>737089950I have had to listen to retards saying this for decades. He is a single father raising his adopted white daughter while fighting as an echo terrorist.But you retards judge him by his appearance and dialogue.
>>737151078I can almost see the case for not judging someone by their appearance but dialogue is a product of their personality, it's something that you absolutely should use to form judgements about someone. You may want to take a seat for this but I also judge him for his actions, I don't care if that sounds bigoted.
>>737089950>>737090028Black people like mr t though. This guy based his whole persona on him
>>737151414The dumbass leftists who say he is a racist caricature are only talking about the cursing. He talks about wanting to protect the planet, how he lost everything, how much his little girl means to him. But they don't give a shit because they just want to call japs racist and you racist for liking the game.
>>737151557I saw a video where he appeared and I honestly hate him.
>>737151645I'm not kidding, you need to seriously get help. Get offline. Touch grass. Seek help.
>>737152584Reddit
You wanna see TRUE jap racism?Go look at Zack from the SNES power rangers game, tell me what you notice.
>>737144541He tanked that btw
>>737128727It's been said that Parasite Eve was based on not only the book but an older pitch for Final Fantasy 7 which would've taken place in modern (as of 1997) New York so I can see that being the case.
>>737089950>the only black guy to ever be in a squaresoft gameWe also claim Magus. We don't care that he started out white.
>>737089950Nobody got offended at shit like that back then.You might be too young to know.
>>737114134>>737120369I never liked black people in my media long before the 2010s.All you faggots did was undermine 80 years of brainwashing to trick others to be okay with it lol
Well, somebody on the Street Fighter 6 team was unfortunately taking copious notes on the whining about any negative characteristics associated with blacks. It's a fighting game with no menacing black characters. lmao. They are all jovial, uppity, big smiles, and super energetic about life. Every battle with one of them is like interrupting a dance contest. They just want to dance, not partake in violent activities. Absolutely hilarious.
