I'm starting to think we have actual underage visitors on the board that can't contain their frustration over anons sincerely advocating for their favorite japanese stories in video games and anime and manga. Especially when it direct competition against juvenile western ones. Why are they getting so mad though? Like just get on board?

>>738487297
And yet I am not a nigger, not only am I white skinned but I don't play the gacha tier slop that is final fantasy. The only rpg I have beaten in the last year other than look outside was e33 and I defacto consider myself your superior. Nothing you can do to open your gay nigger mouth will ever convince me that final fantasy is not the gayest dogwater bullshit to ever be produced by modern men. I don't even like persona games but this is really taking the cake on cringe.

FFIV is only decent if you play the GBA or 3D versions. SNES/PS1 are garbage.

>>738487434
FFIV was the first video game I ever played. I grew up with it too. It's just not good. The three prior games all have more freedom in how you build your party. FFIV is just purely on rails from the story to your party to learning skills. There's nothing to the game.

>>738486125
I played up until the end of Heavensward, and though I didn't think it was offensive or anything, I really was surprised that people seemed to like the story. I just felt there was nothing to latch on to at all, and I really do not think an MMO makes for a good framework for telling a story.

I really was trying to engage with the story because a big part of why I was interested in it in the first place was people claiming Shadowbringers has an amazing story, and maybe it does because I didn't get that far, but I knew it wouldn't be for me when I found out that Haurchefant's death was considered this emotionally-wretching moment among fans. I know this makes it sound like I actually wasn't paying attention to the story, but it genuinely took me until like halfway through his death for me to even remember who he was. I barely registered him as an actual character and saw him more as a mechanical function, I was no more attached to him than I was to the innkeeper in Gridania.

It's really not, but XIV players have this weird thing about certain moments in the story where they all act much more emotional than any person reasonably should. And they'll go into twitch streams for people playing the game for the first time and all act hyperemotional over those moments, and get upset if the streamer doesn't do the same. It's some kind of really, really weird ritual.

Yeah Haurchefant I never really understood. He was barely a character pre-Heavensward and he was barely a character during it too.
But if you're this far and you aren't feeling it, I'd just abandon ship. You have the second worst expansion story-wise (to Dawntrail) and the second worst MSQ-content (to Endwalker) coming up.

Who fucking cares? All I know is that as a demanded gamer I have installed and pirated every single final fantasy game to ever be released and I stopped being able to stomache them, let alone complete them around the release of crisis core for the psp. They're so fucking awful I don't even understand how the company is still alive, let alone how it has fans. The entirety of final fantasy 7 remake was just hey lets hang out with faggot unlovable characters like cloud and the gang and maybe go for food afterwards. I wanted to blast a 9mm into my mail provider every day I opened that fucking turd and yet I still beat it because I still consider myself a proper gamer. Your games SUCKED FUCKING ASS.

>>738486963
4 was honestly good for the time. Following 3 with a true evolution of the format and showcasing what these games could actually be was fairly impressive in that time. The issue is that it doesn't hold up. That doesn't make it bad necessarily, it just makes it a product of its time. So when people go around still referring to 4 as one of the greats, it rings a bit hollow because it just isn't true anymore.

I don't know a single player who gives even half as much of a shit about that as the chronic retards writing seem to. That it's yet another tremendously gay MeLoDrAmAtIc DeAtH sCeNe when my Scholar is sitting there with Adloquium, Lustrate, and RESURRECTION, frozen like he can never seen a booboo before, EXACTLY as indefensibly retarded as Aeris' clown death, surely doesn't help.

I'm more upset that they killed off Ysayle because she, uh, fell off screen. But somehow the specifically physically feeble Yotsuyus survives being cut down by a Plot Level samurai, having half a roof dropped on her, having the rest of the fucking building dropped on her, and being driven into a river underneath that collapsing building.

The entire god damn plot and every single fucking thing that happens in it is the most retarded horseshit to ever come out of Japan, the country that made SAO.

Haurchefant is a "you had to be there" moment because in the months before Heavensward released, your character was in hiding after the Ul'Dah poisoning stuff and the new "home base" was Haurchefant's place, he was your only ally right then other than useless Alphinaud.

Another thing is that he's much more characteristic if you're playing with Japanese voices(and the English voices were for most part terrible pre-Heavensward, so more people were going Jap). He has different animations then and is kind of a freak.

One of the most interesting parts of Haurchefant's localization is that a goodly amount of it did still slip through outside of MSQ, he's still a BDSM freak in the Heavensturn event for the year of the horse for instance.

She was correct about Ishtard and made the correct decisions and took the correct actions regarding it. The issue is that Japan is an entire race of absolute vaginas so they keep producing tremendously gay stories with the """morality""" of "POWER BAD JUST BE A BOOTLICKING VEGETABLE"

The entire game became irretrievably pozzed when Stormblood, which SHOULD have been mass murder as a Solution to every problem the game had introduced at that point, becamse 90% about limiting casualties, getting along with fucking everyone, and wasting tremendous amounts of time doing that when it was JUST established that every single thing we were doing was supposed to be tremendously urgent.

They do the same thing with the character creators. It's just a handful of presets and they're only one step up from XI's. If you've played the game for more than a week, then you've seen every possible character already. And yet, the general in /vg/ is just a bunch of trannies going, "How does my cat look?" Dude, your cat looks like every other fucking cat, this game has like twelve characters, what are you gloating about? You didn't MAKE a hot girl, you PICKED the hot girl. So did everyone else lol

She was not correct in the slightest. She was a delusional bitch who wanted to kill innocent people to impress Hraesvelgr. Do you remember her first appearance? When she attacked the people delivering your grubhub from Gridania? She was just an evil lunatic.
Ishgard also wasn't even in the wrong. Ishgard had done nothing to the dragons. Thirteen people a thousand years ago did, and half of them were killed on the spot. The other half died nearly a thousand years ago. Nobody alive had anything to do with it, and Nidhogg knew that. He even intentionally prolonged the war just so he could keep killing people forever. If Ysayle really thought she was correct she wouldn't have been coming to you making a sob story about how she thought the dragons she let into the city would only kill rich people.

Yeah I never took it seriously either. Obviously someone who is willing to play through like 100 hours of garbage to get to the good parts doesn't think as lowly as I do of those 100 hours. It's like trusting opinions on the expansions themselves being amazing when anyone who is playing that has been playing the game for thousands of hours. It's not that their experience isn't valid, but anyone who even qualifies to play it is already madly in love with the game. It's impossible to get a more neutral, less invested/biased review.
Just the nature of live service games.

2.0 is very generic and only exists to catch people up on the setting because of 1.0 bombing, 2.X is all worldbuilding and does a much better job at setting up everything that just about every post-patch MSQ. Granted, this is also due to a lot of room to work with from 1.0's bible, but still. The main plot points are very monster of the week with the remaining primals, but the events going on around it like Doman refugees, Gyr Abanians, Garlean succession, Ishgard becoming more prominent are very strong points that they manage to establish. Compared to now where most, if not all, of the next expansion intrigue is saved for X.56

The most amusing part of Crow making Haurchefant a more respectable character instead of borderline faggot rapist is that it then influenced Haurchafant's writing in HW for JP and his death impacts you much harder when you aren't introduced to him as a joke character. He basically made the biggest moment of HW that much important.

No, retard. You leave the Ala Mhigan front, where YOUR PEOPLE are getting killed, to spark a rebellion in Doma to tax Garlemald by having to fight on two fronts. After jerking off theme park fantasy Edo Japan for entirely too long, we get to Doma and immediately can't do anything because groveling subhuman peasant cowards don't want us to. Yotsuyu is RIGHT IN FRONT OF US with the bodyguard of the guy we had already whooped in Ala Mhigo, and the excuse for why we can't kill her on the spot and save 20 hours of retarded bullshit is that it'd somehow be unpleasant for the worthless fishermen nearby. From there, it's off to Theme Park Fatansy Retarded Foid Mongolia to help the retarded fantasy foid mongolians with their god damn rugby match. While Lyse is presumably getting killed in the hot war we started back on the Ala Mhigan front, but this is Retard, Japan writing, so if it's not on screen, it just doesn't exist.

Profoundly retarded, you should be ashamed to defend this in any way, kill yourself.

The correct response to a betrayal from a handful of people is genocide? Funny, because Nidhogg's response wasn't even that. It was to turn them into an infinite murder farm.

I mean also the patch MSQ.
It's not just one stable line from one expansion to the next. Not all of ARR is on the same level writing wise. Not all of HW is (though you could argue it's the closest to a stable base to patch story quality), etc.
But yeah, that also applies to content if you wish to consider that.
>>
>>738490402
I played through ARR "on content" and that was deeply mid. The retards writing this game have a deeply retarded habit of setting up tremendously urgent stakes right before hours and hours of filler dogshit. Y'shtola was correct and Best Girl to refuse to humor the gaggle of absolute retards who wanted you to go on 12 different quests to MAKE DINNER when it was just previously established that Titan could drop have of Los Nachos into the ocean with an earthquake at any moment.

The problem with ARR post 5.0 is that the gameplay is shite for the player specifically. The vast majority of it is dungeons and for most jobs that's 1 button (or none) for a lengthy period of time leveling, shit like Goon doesn't get AoE until like 7-10 dungeons deep.

Tank is pretty damn easy. You hit your stance, use ranged pulls and area of effect attacks to keep enemy attention, and just use the damage mitigations to survive. They don't have to do much more than that, especially since sprouts (new players) aren't usually expected to go pulling every single enemy mob in the current section "wall-to-wall".
While DPS is a lot easier since they're often no commitment, especially ranged DPS, at the same time they have to deal with longer queue times if you're not using NPC duty support for story dungeons, and that can be kind of a big showstopper at times.

Monk isn't that bad to level at all. They're probably the most evolved non-vpr/pct job already. They get a 1-2-3 by level 6, an aoe at 26, and their full kit aside from some damage buttons by 60.

Not like they get much in ARR til lv40-50 anyway. They do get a bit more eventually at least, compared to PLD which is literally the 1-2-3, a 1-2 AoE, and bash+lob all of ARR.

Tank is the easiest dungeon class but it comes with the caveat that you need to have at least a little game knowledge so you're not constantly pointing the boss at the other players and shit. Very minor though. Healer is probably the easiest with having the least responsibility when the majority of players can cruise through things until about level 80 now. And Summoner would be the easiest DPS class because you rarely ever casting time. I'm pretty sure Samurai still spends more time casting Sword than Summoner does casting its own spells.

The thing about ARR was that it was good "for an MMO". Even the most mid JRPGs, and I'm talking just generic shit like Beyond the Beyond have comparable stories. Heavensward actually brought it to "normal" JRPG tier like a Tales game and it stayed that way through Stormblood, but still even that unfortunately is the literal best the MMORPG genre had to offer at the time. Shadowbringers was crazy good. On its own it stands up to the best stories in FF games and JRPGs in general and they haven't matched that high since. On a side note, Haurchefant dying was also just a "meh" moment for me as well. I've been playing the story as it came out and he never stood out to me as anything special compared to other NPCs and I'm also baffled by the love he gets.

His death was really not that wretching, just like moenbryda it felt more like a plot device. I didn't dislike the guy and without him we would've been forced to mindlessly roam the lands or something since he was the only giving us shelter but he wasn't developed enough for me to share a deeper connection. Shiva/Iceheart was more impactful for HW deaths. The whole expansion was just solid storytelling overall and had pretty cool moments that were memorable but if you didn't really like it at entering the expansion the rest won't change your mind. Maybe your expectations were too high, it ruined games like original FF7 for me since I expected to get mindblown at every waking moment.

Honestly if one reads between the lines it becomes obvious the localization and various writing elements are shifting basically every expansion, plus in general. Tone shifts, style shifts, how certain characters refer to things. EW felt nothing like ShB, which felt nothing like SB, which felt nothing like HW, which felt nothing like ARR. And DT repeated that cycle all its own. It's kind of a chaotic nightmare hodgepodge and you don't even need to bother with Japanese stuff if you at all care for consistency to notice weird shit. But the localization is generally "good enough" that the average person won't care too much. About the most consistency you get is British or pseudo-British english actors.

People bitch about Daichi Hiroi fucking shit up since the Zero arc, but he's hardly the only example of this game kind of bending everything over backwards to explain new things and fill in gaps or overwrite past stuff, and then the localization doubles down on the stupider aspects.

My expectations for Heavensward specifically weren't that high, and even when I have high expectations of something that aren't met I like to think I can usually at least see what others see in something but it wasn't the case there. I remember just being confused that people were really engaged by these characters or the narrative at all. I could maybe see it if people had played ARR as it came out, had no expectations of the story and then were pleasantly surprised by how much more effort seemed to go into the story as it approaches Heavensward, but beyond that I just didn't really get it at all.

I will cut the game some slack, if you can call this cutting it slack, and say that the more I played the more I felt that an MMO was just not a good format for storytelling in the first place, but even then there weren't really any ideas or moments that made me think that this could work in a normal JRPG or if it was just told a bit better or whatever. I do think it would be fair to say it just wasn't for me, but it still stands out to me as videogame stories go because it wasn't disappointing or offensive or any of those other negative ways I might describe a story I disliked, it just felt like nothing. If I was being uncharitable to the story in any way, I don't think it was in disappointment at it so much as confusion over its praise.

Now that I think about it, Garleans reverse-engineering The Echo really had little to no impact on the story like it probably should've. Like it's pretty clear they had no idea what to do with Zenos for two expansions which is why all of 4.X he's walking to Garlemald and all of 5.X he is sitting on his ass, so the Resonance wasn't made just to keep his ass alive in the story or else it would've been way more important early on.

there's kind of a logic chain, you kill the one researcher that pulled it off and they only managed a handful of 'hyperresonant' types before the project died. but it really does feel like stormblood msq was hyping up this big idea of garleans reverse-engineering our shit, and then suddenly the game jumps ten miles in a different direction with the black rose and garletards ending the world over losing ala mhigo.

Zenos' only purpose was to be a mirror image and equal to WoL. Unless they summon our "reflections", there is nobody in Eorzea that is actually as strong as us and can join us in the insane battles against eikons/primals/ascians. Zenos was, and I think Zenos was also a replacement of Haurchefant or a buddy type character.

Don't forget Zenos ends up being part Ancient literally just like us and has visions about the end of days where he gets caught up to speed.

>>738496154
Estinien and arguably Graha are at the WoL's level or surpassing it, but Zenos is the thematic opposite so it works better. The whole rejoining power level is nebulous and the WoL is just strongest in the room when he needs to be but otherwise isn't canonically, say, stronger than most of the foes we've vanquished. Zenos's ancient dream also amounted to nothing, there's a lot of nothingburgers for him during the whole stretch of 4.1-5.56.

Yeah, which is part of EW's poorly rushed writing. I wouldn't be surprised if YoshiPiss fucked with it, he's hated Zenos since his inception, but fans loved him so he couldn't do shit. Actually our dialogue used to be extremely spiteful to Zenos, but due to overwhelming fan complaints they were forced to change it (it was also mixed in with the complains that all our dialogue said/meant the same thing, but many JP fans pointed out dialogue towards Zenos only had hate or hate.)

It's been too long since I've thought about any of this shit. I didn't think the Echo was from Hydaelyn since it's explicitly something to do with your past lives and about hearing her voice or something.

The biggest issue for me was always that what the Echo and Blessing of Light actually DID seemed to constantly change and sometimes get completely flipped in meaning. I remember thinking that the BoL being downgraded to just being a simple Traveler's Ward doesn't really fit with a lot of the previous parts of the story.

But I've forgotten most of those details. What causes the Echo exactly, it's when people who were sundered hear Hydaelyn's voice or something?

The hairstyle Warriors of Darkness cat has.
If you oriented the camera right, there was a gap, and everything of your character through that gap was rendered invisible, so you would see straight through. So between the forehead and hair you'd see the sky. Really distracting and you'd see it constantly in cutscenes, which is a shame because it's a good hairstyle.
But it's FIXED now.

Basically meteors falling on the world was part of the creation magicks going nuts from the Endsinger song of despair, so it triggers the trauma all Ancients suffered from the End of Days and reawakens the latent power in your sundered soul.

I did read about this over a decade ago and in the case of Blum, about every director always wanted him to do the TOM/Spike voice when he's capable of variety. Meanwhile you have someone like Sagat doing three pretty distinct voices within the same show, but all those guys are old as shit and can't manage much range anymore. New age EN VAs all sound like they are from gacha games which is pretty embarrassing, you either like how they normally sound or never will.

>EN voices (mostly) mog the fuck out of JP voices.
No it doesn't, not in the fucking least.

I liked the EN voices well enough, I usually put JP media into Japanese voices, but the EN voices impressed me so I stuck with them. The only notable downswing (and it was huge) was getting to Thavnair and seeing that they'd chosen to do "regional accents", which meant getting far less qualified and skilled actors, for the sake of getting the right accent.

It was ridiculous since they hadn't done that for anywhere else, but whatever, a small thing and Thavnair wasn't a huge part of the plot, I could deal with every VA being a step or several steps lower than the rest.

Then we met Wuk, awful, no more needs to be said. I braced myself for DT thinking I'd just get used to her and it would be fine. Got off the boat into Tural and soon realised that every single VA had the same Thavnairian issue with being cast for "regional accents" rather than skill. Conversations with minor characters would blow you out of the fucking scene because of how awful the acting was, it was like regressing back to early 2000's level "Just have the Devs do the voices" acting. Truly terrible.

So, I finally gave in and swapped to Japanese and it was shocking just what an incredible improvement it was. Alisaie and Alphinaud were obvious standouts, far better than their EN counterparts, but Y'shtola and G'raha were huge upgrades too.

But the most notable of all was Krile. I was gobsmacked the first time she started talking, she sounded so young! I was like "What the hell? Isn't Krile supposed to be in her 40s?" So I checked her Wiki... And I learned, in DT, that Krile was 22yrs old. I'd gone the entire game thinking she was 40 because of how old and deep the EN actor played her. Instead, through DT, she was young, vibrant and I could feel some fucking life and energy from her for the first time in the game.

It's not a shitpost, that's my exact experience.

I enjoyed the EN voice acting only because I was living in the cave. The moment I stepped outside and heard the JP voices, I understood what a fool I'd been and how narrow my understanding of the game's voice acting was. JP is just miles and miles better than EN, even for the characters in EN I liked.

>>738499404
The one single success I think the EN voice acting did well is with Y'shtola, but only from a meta perspective.

You can actually pinpoint the point in the story where they went "Wait, what, Y'shtola is almost 40!?" and told the VA to stop playing her like she was in her twenties, lmao.

To be fair, that's also how she was written. When she's introduced, she's written like she's 20, but then they did a double take, realised they'd fucked up their lore, and began writing her in her mid-30's. The VA captured that change pretty well.

This is the most insubstantial wall of text that boils down to nothing ever. You wrote several paragraphs just to say nothing other than "I hate regional accents" and "Wuk bad".
By the same token, people will gladly pass up on the typecasting of like the same 3 JP voices. So tl;dr: thank you for your opinion.
>>
>>738500402
Regional accents don’t matter when the JP.actors playing background characters are still miles ahead of performance ability than John and Jane from down the block trying to do their best but falling short

Nobody outside /v/ cares for the JP dub.
You have legions of people creaming themselves over the EN voice cast of a litany of characters.
And most of them don't even bother with the JP voices.

I love watching anime. I see follow llenry of seiyuu who only have a few roles. Mostly because I outgrew action shounen 20 years ago around the same time in other Batman and super hero cartoons. There’s a lot more variety across different genres.m than you’d know about

You are unironically on a website for autistic virgins that love Chinese cartoons. Where do you think we are?
>>
>>738500968
And as someone who watches 99.999% subbed anime (even the ones people usually do watch dubbed), it certainly shows.
Bad guy is Japanese bad guy VA.
Lalafell is Japanese tiny chibi girl VA
Motherly character is Japanese mother character VA
All the ones you find in basically all other media.

I'm fine with the British Scions, I thought the EN voice actors did a fine job. That's why I was shocked at how much better the JP voice acting was despite that.

Like, I thought the delta would be pretty small, but it turned out to be far, far bigger than I'd ever imagined. And it completely changed how I viewed some of the characters (Krile most notably).

As long as the EN cast remains stage actors then there is no issue at all, it's why Fromsoft games have such memorable dialogue even if all the NPC says is "'fraid not much more than scattered bones in 'ere...ehehe..."

Which plays did Wuk Lamat act in? What about Koana? Sphene?

If the issue was only about the Scions being worse than their JP counterparts it wouldn't be a big issue. The issue is that everyone else in every region is done by the equivalent of "Whoever we can find of that demographic within 20km of the office."

That's without getting into how nepotistic the hiring practices are for those roles.
