Square-Enix Decides To Give All Of Its Fans The Middle Finger By Re-Releasing The PC Port Of FF7 For The PS4

oh god this again.

is it so much to ask to just play the game again? you liked it the first time, didn't you?

my two favorite games are snatcher and persona 2 eternal punishment. i take great pleasure in playing them start-to-finish every couple of years, and i always see a snippet of content that i missed the first time round. i don't need them remade, i don't want them remade.

besides, you know they'd just fuck it up. the guys at square are not good writers: ff7 was a great game, but in terms of plot it was a convoluted pseudo-philosophical mishmash of mythology and bologna. if ff7 was remade today, it would be re-wrote as a pretentious base-level existentialist crisis ala ff13. with more sunglasses and belts.

to conclude
1. be careful what you wish for
2. be happy with what you have
3. brand new stories are better than retreads and cash-ins

White to Black: Downfall of the Hero (Plot Idea)

UPRC, have you played Suikoden 2? (If not, now's the time, it was just re-released on PSN yesterday)

Spoilers below, so...

Suikoden 2 follows the story of two best friends who are conscripted into the army and are then caught in the middle of a false-flag attack in which their government slaughters its own soldiers. The two friends survive and escape, but eventually they become separated, with the protagonist joining the resistance, and his best friend joining the original army in an attempt to change its corruption from within. The best friend, though well-intentioned, finds that he must embroil himself in dodgy politics to rise through the ranks, becoming the central antagonist of the game.

We only get to see brief snatches of this friend's journey and growth into a formidable general. It would be interesting to see a game set from a similar character's perspective.


Also, Tactics Ogre takes a similar approach:
At the end of the game's first chapter, the protagonist is given the choice of obeying his commanding officer's order to slaughter an entire village of unarmed civilians, or to rebel against his own country. This is not a 'but thou must' choice, and changes the trajectory of the game's narrative completely, allowing for a 'lawful evil' protagonist if the player desires to see that story play out.

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

No love for No More Heroes? I think the first game is one of the smartest pieces of satire within the medium. It was also Suda51's final truly postmodern game before embracing...whatever it is he's doing now. :(

I'm playing Tales of Hearts R, for Vita. It's great to have a Tales game in my pocket, but jeeezus this plot. It's one of those JRPGs that consists of a cast that can't stand to be around each other, which is an awful way to present your story.

Using RPG Maker, how realistice would it be to do everything non programming related

Further to Orochii's post, Jasper Byrne did Lone Survivor virtually single-handedly.

It's possible, but it will require a lot of time and patience.

SUIKODEN II (and I) COMING TO PSN!

Hold up, I knew Suikoden 1 was already available on US PSN, and 2 was coming out this week..but they're both hitting the non-US store this week too?!

I already own both physically, and have beaten them numeruous times, but I really want to play them on my vita <3 <3 <3

Under World 3

I was being facetious, as your chosen topic is very focused and rather unusual. I wasn't actually accusing you of fraud. Welcome!

Recommend my brother some RPG/RPGMaker games?

Exit Fate? It's essentially Suikoden 2, thematically as well as liberally borrowing its sound and graphic resources. Despite this, it's still a solid game, though the battle system isn't that satisfying.

Did you make it?
