>kino deaths only>posts a death that occurs in a cinematic cutsceneWhat did he mean by this? Also spoiler that shit you fucking asshole
someone's going to post something that i'll have in my backlog and i'll be like FUCK
>>3845480the first cartoon porn site i jerked off to was called aeris dies. only real oldfags remember.
>>3845480aerith was a cheap ripoff of picrel
>>3845540>female important playable character dying = ripoffalso found the death kinda meh after looking at it online. shocking =/= kino
It still hurts
>>3845549>i watch youtube videos of games i don't playKill Your Self Now
>>3845580that's why they call it "kino" games are just youtube vids to them.
>>3845580>>3845581Assblasted for no reasonNo wonder nobody cares
>>3845549>>3845540If you play the remake on PS2 you can save her on NG+ if you do a bunch of convoluted shit. Very easy to mess up but it's so worth it. Nei best girl.
>>3845573This one was weird because at first I assumed I'd fucked up and took too long. It felt like it wasn't supposed to happen.
>>3845596calm down, kid. who cares who cares.
>>3845480For me is Galuf.>Killed so hard the Phoenix Downs do nothing.
>>3845673Such a pointless character.
>>3845947Agreed, really liked the way the game handles it
>>3845947It's nice to see the party at least make a futile attempt to use all your healing shit.
>>3845830boomer
>>3845480>and the eight divine->FOR THE LOVE OF TALOS shut up and let's get this over with>COME ON I haven't got all morningBro mogged the whole of helgen so hard even alduin felt it in his dragon soul
>>3845726I dont want to play a remake.Any mod that ports that content to the original game?
>>3845947Best death scene in any Final Fantasy game by far>Why won't you die!?
>>3846081hello.i love you.
>>3845947Galuf's death is so important to the story, too. The plot practically telegraphs that it's coming, but it still hits like a truck because it's just a well-crafted emotional moment. But the second you step into that forest and hear the unique dungeon music, you should know that old man ain't makin' it out alive.>>3846178I forget how all the different translations handle it, but I'm a big fan of Exdeath presuming that it's hatred or anger fueling Galuf and not love. Exdeath is such a big, dorky, generically evil baddie that he literally cannot grasp the concept of love and how powerful it can be. And that is ultimately his undoing.Everyone always jokes that JRPGs are about "killing God with the power of friendship", and if that's true, then FFV is like the poster child.
Hinawa (Mother 3)>>3845483>What did he mean by this?You know, "kino" derives from "cinema", so it kind of makes sense to me.
>>3846229It's moments like this really chaff me when people say V doesn't have a good story
>>3846246>when people say V doesn't have a good storyI put the game on the back burner for years because people always referred to it as the "great jobs, bad story" game. But it turns out the story and especially the characters themselves are brilliant.I think one of the big reasons people overlook V's story—apart from the fact that most of the west played it after having stars in their eyes over FFVII and VIII—is because very little of the drama is directy tied to the plot. There's nothing going on like the mystery of Cecil's origin, or Kain's consistent betrayal. Instead, the drama is all about the characters finding each other and growing together. This game's biggest moments are the little things like Bartz and Galuf sharing a beer in Regole, or Krile bonding with Mid and telling him to take care of his grandfather—the kind of stuff most players just sort of mindlessly gloss over because "nothing's happening".
>>3845480I think the shock of this one is what made it so good for me. I remember thinking "oh she just got punched really hard in the stomach, she'll be fine" and then the next scene is her dead and laid out on a slab. Getting punched really hard in the stomach can kill a human! I'm shocked that a video game let it happen.
>>3846253>>3846246Its just because the game likes to be fun with jokes and lighthearted stuff.I at least remember more moments from V than IV. I did play IV-V-VI at the same time and I barely remember IV stuff.Feels incredibly overrated. Found it interesting how FF2 has so many similar bits which made me question the praise IV got.
>>3846253>But it turns out the story and especially the characters themselves are brilliant.>This game's biggest moments are the little things like Bartz and Galuf sharing a beerCome on dude, this wanking over ff5 is getting too far lol
>>3846333>This game's biggest moments are the little things like Bartz and Galuf sharing a beerBut it's true. Once Galuf gets his memory back, his whole pathos is that he's wracked with guilt over sealing Exdeath in Bartz's world 30 years ago, and Bartz is struggling with not wanting to get attached to people because he fears losing them. Galuf is gutted when he's forced to leave their world behind because he loved traveling with his new friends, and he feels even more guilty when they all leave their homes behind to come help him in his own world.The scene where Galuf and Bartz share a drink in the pub is both of them being honest with each other in that "say it without saying it" way that men do. They're not sticking with each other because they feel some obligation to a greater cause—they're sticking with each other because they love each other.If paying attention to the emotes and dialogue in the game sounds too much like schizo rambling to you, that's very much a (You) problem. I won't apologize for paying attention and appreciating the story the developers portrayed. And if you can't appreciate it, I just kinda feel bad for you, lol.

>>3846351>it's a simple story for kids.Some of the best stories ever written were for kids. I feel like people often confuse complexity for maturity. They'll try to tell some convoluted mess of a narrative filled with symbolism and deep themes but won't actually have a proper story to frame things around.
>>3846259and undercut by her look-alike daughter joining the party right after the funeral
>>3846259>Getting punched really hard in the stomach can kill a human!That's how Houdini died
>They'll try to tell some convoluted mess of a narrative filled with symbolism and deep themes but won't actually have a proper story to frame things around.I rather have something ambitious than rehash of the same sunday morning cartoon storyline again. Doesn't matter if it was not perfect. Was those cartoonish stories perfect either?
>>3846333It's the FFV schillzo
>>3846531Yeah I figured
>>3845493ow my lumbagot. 06 newfag
>>3845480FE4rocks fall etc
>>3845573SameWhat would have happened if Chaz died?
>>3846351Yeah that's kind of the whole point. But it's a simple story for kids that's masterfully told as a video game, and not a movie or a book. FF5 is arguably one of the best examples of storytelling in a video game of all time, but most people are such midwits who are incapable of basic analysis or simple empathy, and somehow FF5 got the reputation of being the "bad story" game.>>3846362>. I feel like people often confuse complexity for maturitytoo true. FF5's themes are all extremely simple and I won't deny that. But it's how effectively they're portrayed relying on minimal dialogue and 12-pixel tall sprites that honestly makes it truly amazing.>>3846336>The scene where Galuf and Bartz share a drink in the pub is both of them being honest with each other in that "say it without saying it" way that men do.I love this scene. It's very clear that one of Galuf's biggest regrets is that he didn't stay behind with Dorgann after they sealed Exdeath in another world. Then Bartz, Dorgann's son, willingly leaves his own world behind to help save Galuf's. It's an absolutely brilliant moment that captures the concept of generational grief and love.
>>3846975>one of Galuf's biggest regrets is that he didn't stay behind with Dorgann after they sealed Exdeath in another world.And then you have to also consider that if Galuf hadn't returned to his own world, he wouldn't have been there to raise Krile after her parents died trying to save a wind drake. This parallels Lenna's backstory where cutting out the wind drake's tongue would have saved her mother's life, but that wind drake saved her own life so many times. It's why I have to laugh when people criticize the story and say the wind drake is a deus ex machina. That's the whole point. The game is telling you that investing love and compassion into your family IS a deus ex machina. The devotion of each new generation is capable of making up for the shortcomings of the last. People should simply enrich each other for their own benefit.I'm honestly not surprised this message is increasingly unappreciated as time passes. Early 90s Japanese media is peak in terms of good morals and good vibes. That's alien to us, now.
>>3846982forgot pic, derp. This game has so many important moments, and some of them are optional. This is truly a game that rewards diligence and attention.
>>3846982>I'm honestly not surprised this message is increasingly unappreciated as time passesit's the American notion of "MUH RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM". All American media has glorified the individual and downplays the support they had and its importance. It's not surprising that an FF game that's all about proper empathy and support is not valued by the western world.
>>3846839>What would have happened if Chaz died?It died as soon as they started protesting at the mayor’s house.
>>3846362>I feel like people often confuse complexity for maturity.This comment triggers the jrpg faggot
FFV shillzos try to defend their game story without resorting to "appeal to emotion" challenge
>>3846259It helps the villain that his fists are stronger than any magical and sentient artifact swords he could find.
>>3846336There was one scene where Galuf asks to stay behind to wait for his friend when he knows he's not making it or something. People really don't give FFV enough credit at allwhy does this game have a schizo now? it's crazy.
>>3847127Any time someone praises something at all it's a schizo.
>>3847330schizoschizos see schizos everywhere because they don't actually understand what the word means.
>>3846089As racist on his alt? As he was one main
>>3847127>There was one scene where Galuf asks to stay behind to wait for his friend when he knows he's not making it or something.Another one of the great moments of the game. This is one of the multiple times the game shows that Bartz's fear of heights is something he fabricated in place of his actual fear of being alone. Here, he knocks out Galuf and freefalls down the side of the exploding tower to save his life because he wanted to climb down to save his friend who was already dead. Later, when Exdeath destroys his hometown, he jumps out onto the bow of the airship just to curse, then flies it like a madman until Faris and Lenna calm him down.This game is so blatantly emotional, I don't understand how people lack the empathy to absorb it. Humanity is doomed, lol.
>>3847330This is a symptom of modern times. People are becoming stupid of their own volition, to the point that any time they see a long-form paragraph with proper formatting, they're going to accuse it of being AI. We're tangibly de-valuing the concept of thought. It's fucking crazy.
>>3847409Truth bomb: Literacy shouldn't be encouraged.
>>3847435No, not for your own mental well-being. Certainly not. Literacy is a curse that most people lack the conviction to obtain.
>>3847448It's basically forming a vector for people to rewrite your brain if you don't have innate defenses. It was never intended for the masses. All these retards with phones are abused children. The horror of this is too great for most people to comprehend.
>>3847463What's crazy to me is how fast we are slipping. Decreasing standards of education and the increasing influence of AI and social media echo chambers are normalizing extremely harmful coping mechanisms. The problem is when people let digital influence override their compassion for actual human beings.Games like FF5 are prophetic—literal pleas to make sacrosanct the cornerstones of humanity, wrapped up in flashy fairy tale presentation using the media of the time. This is basically how the good faith of mankind subsists.
>>3846839>What would have happened if Chaz died?Game would have been better
This is why people call you FFV schillzos. The world doesn't revolve around you on your moral high horses that you use to justify why your favorite game is superiorYou used your biases to feel a moral superiority to everyone else. That is just pathetic
>>3847330>>3847338sounds like a schizo not wanting to be called a schizo, sorry
>>3847500>>3847501I value life and compassion above all. I will always be superior to you. Nice try, Satan.
>>3847505>Life and compassionMore like an excuse to impose your beliefs and magical thinking to other people.Yes, call other Satan just because they don't agree on your forced evangelism.
>>3847507>More like an excuse to impose your beliefsMy belief is that all of god's children are equal. Why would you try to oppose this?
>>3847508You shall know a tree by its fruit.
>>3847509>You shall know a tree
>>3847508That is a weird rhetoric. Sounds like a populist way of talking without making any meaningful point. >>3847509Hello schizo II.
>>3847495>Decreasing standards of educationThe point of education isn't elucidation, it's creation of a servile class. Ignorance is the point. This is what people are, your conception of humanity is a fairytale.
>>3846178I like how the FFV OVA barely feels like it is related to the game it's based on, but at the same time you sort of get a vibe that as they were producing the episodes someone on staff was playing the games and making sure to fix things. Like how when the ghosts of the heroes of FFV first appearance, it's just Butz/Faris/Lenna/Galuf and there's no Krile, but finally by episode three they acknowledge she exists. But anyway, I always liked how the first time you see the ghosts Galuf feels most like he was based on his Amano art, and then when they had to draw him at the OVA's end the one guy who was playing the game stepped in and go "No, make him HUGE AS FUCK this guy FUCKING SOLOED EXDEATH"
