Who is actually getting filtered by the battle speed in FF9, or the door animations in Resident Evil? Seriously? I've seen years worth of bitching about these on this board, yet me, an actual ADHD zoomer who wouldn't feel a smidge different on meth never had any issues with these games; there has to be some other form of mental retardation at play preventing people from appreciating them.
>>
>>12119642
I imagine it's less about adhd and more about autism. People see the doors in resident evil and it triggers their spergness.
>I am not controlling the character during this unskippable animation therefore it is wasted time and bad. Games must always be playable at maximum efficiency!
Normal bros like me just see that as the opportunity to take a sip of their brewsky, y'know what I mean?
>>

this board always seems to have a bone to pick with this game for some reason. i mean it's true that the battle transitions are on the longer side, but it's not something i ever would have noticed if people didn't whine so much about it
>>
>>12119775
less about the battle transitions and more about the totally forgettable story in a series that has great stories (at the time) and an awful second half
>>
>>12119642
I never got filtered with the door in RE but I did get filtered with the speed of everything in 9. Luckily I just used Moguri Mod and it fixed the game and is probably my favorite final now.
>>
>>12119642
I've always loved RPGs and I hated FF9 in 2000 because of the load times and battle speeds (among other reasons). Never diagnosed with AD(H)D.
>>
This is precisely why my ADHD+OCD ass is able to handle Famicom/NES RPGs but not the PS1 ones, like the battle transitions and everything in FF7 and the likes make me want to bash my head against the wall
>>
>>12119642
FF9 prob isn't the battle speed but that pointless animation at the beginning of a fight.

ADD/ADHD are sets of symptoms, not real medical disorders. It's just a thing to sell lazy motherfuckers drugs.
Adderall & meth affect ADHD people just the same as anyone else.
IX is the first RPG I played, I love it and played it on orig hardware several times - but it is better with the battle intros cut out and a speed boost. That's just being reasonable, the battles end up taking a lot of time over the course of a casual playthrough and those intro panning shots do nothing for you.

OP is a humongous cocksucking apologist for poorly optimized, badly-designed games, trying to blame observant players by insinuating they have a mental illness.

This. They tried to "return to basics" without realizing that their crazy storylines and plot twists are what blew Final Fantasy up in the first place.
The entire story of FF9 is forgettable and Kuja is, by far, the worst villain they've every created. Zero personality.

>Sadist weapons dealer
>Also an alien fairy boy that prances in a man-thong
They wanted the middle school girl crowd I guess. They should've done much more with the first part of him. They really did undercook the story, but it's still a cozy adventure.

you're wrong
although the point of the monkey-people is that they're soulless vessels. so he should have had no personality by default, and just wander about saying nothing. which he doesn't do!

The game should just be a giant button that says "press to win" and then you just stare at the screen and mash the button over and over again

Its not about ADHD (can confirm) but more about delayed gratification. Some people are so used to instant dopamine hits that they can't comprehend having to wait for them. Concepts like dramatic tension or repeated failure leading to eventual success are completely lost on them after decades of save states, instant retries, and a reduction in consequences. They can learn how to appreciate these things, hence why stuff like the soulsbourne games did so well even with zoomies, but even there the levels of frustration they express seem somehow worse than they were back when losing a random battle could cost you hours of progress in your average game. Every time people pine for "QoL" as things like skipping encounters or maxing out money for free or anything else we used to call cheats, keep that in mind. You didn't beat the game is a meme, but that kind of stuff is where it was born. And as a consequence, people stop themselves from being able to enjoy games.
>>
>>12120051
Makes OP even more of a faggot in that case, because it definitely is an issue in FF9.
>>
>>12119642
Id be more tolerant of speedup, qol, 5x xp, romhack fuckers if they ever phrased their grievances with games like these as a failing of themselves instead of insisting the game is the one thats broken.

>>12120359
In FF9's case, anyone who doesn't think it's the game's problem is completely retarded

For reference, to anyone in this thread who hasn't played the original FFIX, there are 14-16 seconds at the beginning of every single (JRPG-style) random battle, where nothing happens except for a black screen and the camera zooming around the battlefield. You can observe it on any PSX longplay on jewtube. There seems highly likely to be a technical reason for it. For reference the field->battle transition in FF7 was about 7-8 seconds and about 2.5 seconds in FF4 for SNES.

There's no upside to this delay whatsoever. There's no argument for how this is a good thing, how it's actually the player's problem for being impatient or "having ADHD" or just having a peculiar preference for games that don't waste your time for no good reason. In fact, even players who don't consciously notice the delay will STILL find themselves having less fun in FFIX than they would have had otherwise, had the game done a better job speeding up this transition.

Gatekeeping people because they didn't sit through the same lazy battle sequence intro every time is cringe and just makes you look like a retard. I guess it works if the majority are also retards but it still doesn't work well or at all.
>>
>>12120561
When you feel like youre being gatekept its pretty easy to tell whos in the wrong. Its funny, I never feel like im getting gatekept from the games I like, I wonder why?

>It's just a thing to sell lazy motherfuckers drugs.
then why does the ADHD brain respond to those drugs differently than a normal brain? if it isn't real shouldn't the effects be the same
>>
>>12120274
man I think this guy is correct. original final fantasy is actually a pretty slow game. zoomies don’t learn or use weaknesses or aoe spells because they can just auto attack enemies down at 15x speed. i’m not saying ff9 is perfect, but atb style battles are definitely more of a relaxed tactical thing even at the fastest official speed. you’re waiting on enemy openings, you’re waiting for your turn, you’re waiting for limit breaks. blowing through the game in a sitting isn’t really possible. it’s more akin to reading a book. you can definitely rush through books and JRPGs, but mostly you’re just there to enjoy your time. not like a race or a boxing where you go all out and finish asap

Everything in FF9 feels like you're walking through molasses, so it's just pent-up rage that you're developing about that overhyped piece of dogshit. The battle system is extra retarded because when you execute commands, it comes out extremely delayed, and the situation of battle could've already changed in the time it takes for a character to actually do what you wanted them to do. What a crock of horse shit FF9 is fuck that game and fuck everyone who likes it

nta but breh wake up fool. ADHD not only exists, ADD/ADHD is by fucking far the easiest inborn psychological disorder to diagnose ever. Here is how in 2 easy steps!

1. Give any child or any adult a shipload of potent stimulants (caffeines, cocaines, adderalls, whatever)

2. Observe the effects in your test subject. If the coke makes him edgy, shaky and st00pid he is not an ADD. Alternatively if the coke makes him calm, focused and sharp he is an ADD

Family Gay Season 14 Episode 1 when Brian and Stewie both get addicted to adderall and experience utterly opposite effects spells the truth clearly enough for you normie cumstain whiners. The only Jewish racket related to ADD is the millions of misdiagnoses what with how fucking goddamn easy it is to test for via pure scientific method. It's called the stimulant paradox you half-educated birdbrain

t. Big time speed dealer and an ADD whose happy enough to "cheat" my gaming feats by consuming hardcore drugs. And. Yes I concede approximately 80% or more of psych disorders are made up manufactured BS scams by big pharma
>>
>>12119683
Pretty much just this, also you have to take the factor of millenials growing with shit internet, you had to be patient some times, now everything is expected to be super fast, thats how you create things like tik tok not investigating wanting everything to work at the first try
>>
>>12121023
how did you know about my fleeces then? thought so
>>
>>12121070
>Alternatively if the coke makes him calm, focused and sharp he is an ADD
What if it has no change whatsoever? Is that severe ADHD?
>>
>>12124978
Nta but it would suggest the dose is too small. If it's medical drugs then some people react differently to them. Having ADHD doesn't mean that all of them work for you. Caffeine doesn't do much for me or at least I don't feel the difference. Haven't done any cocaine but even a small dose of that should fuck up a normal person.
>>
>>12125006
As a person with severe ADHD coke is still very speedy and there isn't a thing anyone can do about it except not take any of course hey would you like to hear a business pitch about biodegradable plastic??
>>
>>12121070
>psychological disorder
This is the racket. Creating a pathology from evolutionary advantages in the name of standarised obedient citizens and egalitarian lip service.
>>
>>12119642
I was 11 when this game came out and had adhd, but oddly enough was able to stick through it despite it being noticeably sluggish crawl during battles. Granted I didn't beat the superboss until the Steam version came out and I modded it with faster speed.
>>
>>12125813
>evolutionary advantages
Such as? The benefits of ADHD hardly outweigh the negatives and I can't see it being better if you had it in more primitive times. Most my life doing basic shit has been a struggle. I'm barely functional as a human being. If I had to secure my own survival I'd be dead.
>>
>>12119875
It was loading stuff while doing that, that's why the battle intros took that long. It's the worst part of the game though for sure.
>>
>>12126519
Energy and different perspectives for one.
>If I had to secure my own survival
This is not how primitive man lived. Differing personalities allowed for tribes to excel, weaknesses carried by others' strengths. The individualised self-managed slavery of the modern world is the pathological state. Most modern psych-pathologies are based around people who don't gel with this modality.
>>
