This FF8 LP is totally dead.

derp.

Did you see the actually transsexual villain in FF9?

And what about the fact that Front Mission 1 was actually not fantasy delirium like most square games.
Can a later FM beat the Front mission twist in GRIMDARKNESS? I think not.

FF9 is to FF what CC was to CT.

And Front Mission 3 is awful. Annoying fucking characters. It has FF8 beat.

In fact i can't think of a square game that beats the FM 1 grimdark moment. Aerith or whatever the whore was called doesn't even come close.

Basically the most efficient computer available ingame uses humans brains. Blah you say.
But the only one available to you is the one the main villain leaves behind, that was created from your deceased girlfriend brain - suck it FFVII.

You can choose to "discard" it ofcourse.

Annoying fucking characters in mah wapanese computer games?

:smug:

And about FM3 - at least it has fun battle and mech-tunning systems. And you don't have to use the characters you don't like (at least two of them are suicide-inducing indeed).

Compare FF8 when it's impossible to totally avoid Zell. And Laguna. And Selphie. And Seifer. And...

Well they tried there, but it was so forced it was lulzy. Soylent green. I think they even said it, assuming, correctly, that 90%+ of their userbase are uneducated morons that can't even assimilate the zeitgeist. Dunno why in that assumption in THAT game, or maybe i know. It's because the whole game is a mishmash of conflicting concepts & references. and they just took a particularly retarded one for that.

Xenogears, according to Dicksmoker the greatest video game story ever written. In reality it's actually true.

IN OPPOSITE LAND!!!

ZOMG, an update!

This LP clearly shows that FF8 was one of the first beacons of current JRPG-Decline.
Back in the day the genre was full of basic (and sometimes funny) linear-as-fuck Dragon Quest clones with plot being "young heroes saving the world - once again" 99.9% of the time.

Well, currently:
  • over-the-top "artsy" visuals - check,
  • irritating as fuck emo characters - check
  • retarded AND easy mini games - check
  • men looking like women, women looking like 12 year-olds dressed like whores - check
  • faggy main character AND main villain - check
  • battle systems devoid of any fun
  • EXTREME haircuts and clothes
I salute you, Locue-kun for choosing such dangerous beast as your LP-target.
I mean: Vagrant Story - fuck yeah! Front Mission 3 - why not? Valkyrie Profile - haevan! Final Fantasy Tactics with animal-only party - exquisite!

But FF8...

I dont know mang~ IT seem all those checks work superbly well for FF7.

  • over-the-top "artsy" visuals - no
  • irritating as fuck emo characters - only one two!
  • retarded AND easy mini games - fuck you, chocobo race is totally awesome!
  • men looking like women, women looking like 12-year-olds dressed like whores - hey, it's made in japan..
  • faggy main character AND main villain - check :(
  • battle systems devoid of any fun - no. Materia system is fun.
  • EXTREME haircuts and clothes - only Cloud's hair and Tifa's boobs...

Don't know why but these old clunkers has some kind of charm.

Maybe because they do not have ridicilous voice acting.

Oh man, if only you knew. Well, I'm back now so no need to dwell on hate crime or other excuses to take sudden breaks from the internet.

Also, it really took you people two weeks to figure out I was gone? I know I'm not much but come on, man. Next time I'm gone for more than three minutes I want organized manhunts and shit going on. I want Volourn running around Canada putting up posters with my avatar picture on asking people have they seen me.

Let's try this shit again. Update coming up as soon as I actually get back home. Maybe not tonight, but definitely tomorrow.

Shoot me in the head. Change of plans, I'm going to be stuck in Stockholm without my computer over the weekend. Let's try this shit again. So update will be either monday or when I get some peace and quiet. Sorry, all my Final Fantasy 8 lovin' fans. It's really out of my hands.

I suggest you all go play some New Vegas.

Til then :x

edit: well at least i'm not dead
