I saw them suffer.<br /><br /><br />This game, man. <i>This game.</i><br /><br /><br />Well, I may not be playing the game, but for the sake of "future endeavors" -- and my own foolish pride, to some extent -- I couldn't bring myself to leave it unfinished. I would say it's a mistake, buuuuuuuut I feel like I've gotten all the information I need to make an informed opinion about the game. Every stone's been un-turned. And now there is no doubt.<br /><br /><br />...I need to get around to playing FF9 one of these days. I've got a copy from PSN, so I could use a real palate cleanser. I don't know how it stacks up to the others, but I've seen the lowest point thus far. We won't be seeing anything worse for a while. I hope.Voltech44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-87533185523296429822013-05-30T00:01:30.908-07:002013-05-30T00:01:30.908-07:00I have a problem with this cutscene, because it...I have a problem with this cutscene, because it's 10 minutes of contrive, cryptic bullshit that don't really mean anything and because apparently everyone's dead but not really or something.<br /><br /><br />Why are you playing this goddamn game?

Like when it's time for characters to shriek their problems at one another, or generate conflict out of thin air. They're like magicians that have mastered sleight of bullshit.<br /><br /><br />Time will tell if Lightning Returns ends up selling well. From what I've heard, 13-2 sold half as much as vanilla 13 in the States (not 100% sure on that, or how well it did in Japan...and of course, that's not counting DLC sales). And from what I've heard, a lot of people are burnt out on Lightning and her little saga -- either because of the go-nowhere story or just the (justified) wish to see her go away. It'll be interesting to see what happens, but we'd both better prepare for the worst.<br /><br /><br />If nothing else, this is -- hopefully -- the end of the saga, so they can put this dark chapter behind them. Then again, I doubt Squeenix is going to bench their golden girl for long. We'll be seeing her again soon enough, I'd wager. Squeenix finds a way...to be <i>just terrible.</i>Voltech44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-64667493473423863302013-05-28T19:08:38.140-07:002013-05-28T19:08:38.140-07:00What is wrong with that ending cutscene?

Square Enix HATES writing understandable dialogue. Square Enix hates anyone who cannot understand any one of their many magnificent magnum opuses! *gags and chokes*<br /><br />This is repulsive. If 'Lightning Returns' ends up a hit...<br /><br />Final Fantasy... please... either find better treatment for your seemingly incurable disease, or pull the plug. PLEASE. You don't need to suffer this much. Learn to let go. It's too painful to watch this go on... Look at poor Voltech! Spoony! Kungfu Jesus! Anyone who ever touched or acknowledged this game's existence and threw a tantrum because of it! Please... let go for their sake and their sanity!<br /><br />...<br /><br />And my cries were in vain.

I meant what I said when Lightning was worse than Master Chief and Dante (or "Donte" if you prefer), But I think the reason for that is because as annoying as those two characters might have been, gamers' time with them was at least mercifully brief, and there's only so much that can be done with them in the time they have. That's the expectation. The standard. <br /><br />The standards are different with Lightning, because the expectation is that over the course of (soon to be) three games and roughly a hundred hours of play time, her character development has been stunted, contradictory, infuriating, or any mix of the three. For the main character of her own forced mini-franchise to be so hollow is THE greatest failing of the games.<br /><br />...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it looks like I've gone and turned this comment into another mini-rant. Screw it, I'm gonna go listen to some slams.
