GF gives us strength. The stronger the GF, the stronger we become.
But if the GF is too strong, you start losing your memories, and consequentially your sense of self. I like superpowers with consequences.
>>739546983dont get an abusive gf
>>739547021Too late for that, I divorced her a year ago now. Thank God I didn't have a kid with her or I'd be beyond divorce-raped.
>>739547032>When you have no GF, the only action you can take is to attack others.Poignant
>>739546983Any GF will do that, strength is irrelevant. Even the tiny GF that Selphie junctioned cost her her childhood.
You cant turn the valve first try
>>739546945How do I find a GF?
>>739547550Try drawing from bosses.
>>739546945I wish Fantasian had been popular enough to make pre-rendered backgrounds trending again like Octopath was popular enough to make its graphical style a trend for a bit.
>>739547683quick way to get Firaga'd
>>739546945A game created by men for men
>>739547825Fantasian background were real life pictures not prerendered backgrounds
>introduce concept at start of the game>characters are barely miffed when they discover the twist>it never gets brought up again despite you getting more gfs and stronger by orders of magnitudes >no one ever thought to make a journal, everyone conveniently lost the same memories except for one character who decides to not share because reasonsI hate this dumb plot point.
>>739547121I overdosed from injecting a whole gfDon't do it, bros
>>739548931another reason why the plot simply works better when ultimecia is rinoa
>>739548661yes, but I wish the diorama shit brought back pre-renders is what I'm sayingor more diorama shit
>>739548931In the end, the party can only get over it. There's nothing to be done about it in the near future. They have to rely on the GFs to handle the crisis at hand (Ultimecia's bid to compress time) and whining about their amnesia isn't going to help a thing. They don't have much more past to forget, being only young adults.
>>739549251Should have had it where they lose their memories over and over like in Memento and can't get anything done.
>>739547054Me too, bro. Hopefully just because I'm older doesn't mean I can draw another GF.
>>739550539We're gonna make it big bro
>>739548931>>739549251I vaguely remember Squall saying there's fuckall they can do about it and they need GFs to keep fighting like anon's post.
>>739546945I’m level 40 and I never had a GF
>>739549251>>739551148Honestly, Squall was far too pragmatic for most of the plot points and twists in this game. He just kept rolling with the punches despite the constant stream of ridiculous nonsense happening around him.
>>739546945The Ultimate GF...>Can't Escape
I WONT LET ANYONE TALK ABOUT ME IN THE PAST TENSE
>>739546945Remember to take care of your GF.
>>739546945>>739546945>>739547032But what does GF stand for?
>>739547550Rub a magic lamp and pray to your maker fighting with your life on the line
>>739552338Girl Force
>>739552407*casts blind on u*nothin personnel el diablo....
>>739552338Girl Farts
>>739548931They literally talk about it several times. They decide to keep using GFs as much as possible because what they are doing is more important than their memories (and several members try to take actions to preserve them like keeping a diary, using the garden message board, etc).
>>739551393I'll be joining your party soon.Such is this playthrough..
>>739546945BF stronger
>>739552338geriatric fornication
>>739547550it's impossible
why is>I lost muh memorya plot element of almost every final fantasy game
Caleb finished his 99% run already. You gotta do Tactics threads next.
>>739553089Because it's the same 2 guys writing them shits.>6>7>8>10All written by Nojima and/or Kitase
>>739553089easy to write and it adds mystery
>>739553148but it was in 4 and 5 as well
>>739553121Wait. Caleb hammer does let's plays now?
>quistis is the mother figure, teacher, washed up old hag>18 years old
>>7395531724? You mean Golbez? I guess, but that's more brainwashing than memory loss. Never played 5.
>>739553637Tellah couldn't remember his spells until he was about to dieIn FFV I can't really remember the amnesia anon is talking about. Some of the characters can't remember some details of their early childhood though. If that counts FFIX can be added to the pile.
>>739553912You don't remember Galuf?
>>739553956I haven't played that shit in almost 20 years anon help me out
TIME KOMPRESSION
>>739553148There's no lost memories in 10. They quietly drop every mention of "Sin's Toxin" about 2 hours after they bring it up.
>>739554023what was her fucking problem?
>>739553997One of the party members was an old man who hit his head on a meteorite and forgot his mission to save the world.
>>739553997He's part of the main cast. He's like the most memorable non-villain character in the game
>>739554035I'm sure some of the Crusaders at Mushroom Rock mention it after their failed attempt. It's not really the most dangerous thing about Sin though so I don't think it's too important. There is a thread in X about memories being preserved in Spheres (water) that I suppose you could pull on but I don't feel like effortposting because it's too hot.
>>739552338Gee efF
>>739554052menopause
>>739554092>>739554095I knew who he was, I just forgot that he forgot
>>739554035>>739554158I'm replaying FFX right now and Sin's toxin is a real thing and you can even find a couple of sufferers, but they only say people's heads get "funny" on it. Some do lose their memory, others only get confused and combative. Either way, it's not really a plot point, only a minor side-effect.
>>739547683can't draw without a gf
>>739548931>no one ever thought to make a journalselphie very specifically starts a journal because of this
>>739554996It's trauma from being exposed to something so massive and destructive and all the death it causes. There's no mention of it at all when you're fighting Sin on the airship even though the party is literally standing on Sin's skin.
>>739551148Yep. He decides that they'll keep using GFs because they need the power-ups, but tells his team to start keeping journals so they can have written records and refresh their memory when needed. It's objectively a good solution.
>>739555216The extra materials say it's an effect caused by the super-dense pyreflies that make up Sin. Basically the whole final dungeon of the game, where you're wandering through mist and enigmatic vistas? That's the party dosed up on Sin's "toxin", it's not actually any kind of actual substance, it's just getting lost in memories.
>>739546945>Explanation of why all of them don't remember each other from the orphanage was that GF's occupy a spot in their memory, making it spotty>Squall never used a GF until his SEED exam>Entire time didn't realize he grew up with Quistis>Irvine is the only one that remembers because *HE* only used GF's when he met up with Squall's squadI love FF8, but holy shit it's full of dumb plot holes.
>>739550539>>739550634I had a GF glass me as a 36 year old dating a 35 year old. It doesn't get better through age, you've gotta stop dating spastic retards with anger problems. Turns out the only thing stopping you from finding love is your own assumption that you don't deserve a kind person. The dating pool doesn't really improve with age.
>>739555216There's some of that, but Ultimania says it's also a physical phenomenon essentially caused by a massive pyrefly overdose. People affected don't just get close to Sin, they get sucked into his outer pyrefly layers, which are too pyrefly-dense for the average Joe to handle. And since the pyreflies are the FFX version of the standard FF aether trope, I guess Sin's toxin is basically another take on the mako/aether/magicite poisoning.
Hot monster swallowing teacher Quistis >>> Seifer's used goods Rinoa Also an pre-emptive reminder that Angelo is a bitch
>>739547550Check the computer in your classroom.
>>739547032>tfw no gfbrilliant.
>>739547550just be a priviledged nepobaby SeeD and it will all work out :^)
>>739548931to add what other anons have said, them being from the same orphanage isnt a coincidence either because Cid knew them the whole time and orchestrated everything.
>>739555415>Squall never used a GF until his SEED examBalamb specialises on GF use and Squall had Shiva and Quetzacoatl registered to him even before the exam, so I'd say he had used them. The tutorials are there more for the player's benefit. >Entire time didn't realize he grew up with QuistisHe didn't. Quistis and Zell got adopted soon after the flashbacks, Selphie got fostered and then sent to Trabia, IIRC Irvine went into foster care in Galbadia, while Squall and Seifer were never fostered and went into the Garden system straight away when they were like five an six respectively. Squall didn't meet Quistis again until many years later. I don't know about you, but I don't remember shit about the kids I knew in kindergarten even without any GFs.
>>739552338gorgeous futa
>>739553148>coincidentally these are also the best FF games in the series by far
>>739556542I love most FFs dearly, but Nojima is objectively the strongest character and setting writer in the series, especially when he has someone to tardwrangle his bad ideas. Even XIII for all its issues has a really cool and imaginative setting, and that came from Nojima. Compare it with the much more forgettable settings of FFI-V, XVI, and even IX, and there's just no contest.
>>739551770You mean he was a protagonist in a fantasy story?I'd never have guessed that!>ridiculous nonsenseSame reason I won't play "Tetris." It's just absurd!
>>739556421>He didn't. Quistis and Zell got adopted soon after the flashbackWhen they have the flashbacks Quistis says she was constantly breaking up Squall and Seifer's fighting and that's why her feelings for him were misdirected, because it was a big sister love. They were together at the orphanage.>I don't know about you, but I don't remember shit about the kids I knew in kindergarten even without any GFs.Yes I do.
>>739552338Goofy
>>739555436Like the other anon said: we are all going to make it.
>>739558059>They were together at the orphanage.For, like, a year. As preschoolers.>Yes, I do remember all the details of my Kindergarten school-life and I can both recognize, and name, 100% of them should they appear in my life as adults tomorrow.I have to give you your credit, then! Trolls do have different memory skills, you are quite remarkable for that!
>>739555415this is a good example of pseudointellectualism, someone who thinks finding some inconsistency in minor details is a plot hole and thus bad writing.if you are an adult, please start thinking like one
