Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

Got to the part in FFVII (the PS1 original) where Cloud has to disguise himself in drag to get inside the club.

Nobody makes THAT big a deal out of Cloud wearing a dress, and one of the people in the clothes store even says that it might be a new business for them.

That’s actually pretty progressive for 1997.

@Background Pony #1732
Isn’t that the same game where Cloud got felt up by grown men in a hot tub, or am I misremembering?

This one is actually pretty tame compared to stuff I’ve seen.

@Beau Skunky

Yes.

By a bunch of big musclemen.

@Dustcan
Thought so, thanks.

Man it’s fucked that even with a game as big of a success as Marvel Rivals, layoffs (Especially to the very top of the team) are STILL happening

@Icey1517
You could have the most successful game in years and still be hit with total layoffs. Totally normal industry

Not an exaggeration. Layoffs are an industry standard to save up some last minute cash right before the Quarterly Earnings Report.

@Icey1517
If this isn’t a sign that we’re dangerously close to another video game crash, then I don’t know what is.

@Penguin Dragneel
Yep. That and the pricing and monetization being grotesque while the employees have trouble making ends meet is a sign of things being dire.

Obsessed with Final Fantasy VI.

Do you think Edgar and Sabin would be fascinated by rain, since they live in the middle of a desert?

One of the towns you visit is perpetually raining. They don’t comment.

They’re princes so they’ve likely traveled and seen it before.

IIRC, the town is Zozo.

@Background Pony #1732
I always hated Zozo.

Just a place where everybody is out to rob you.

What makes Zozo so bad is that you can run into enemies.

Towns are supposed to be safe zones in RPGs.

@Background Pony #1732
Zozo sounds like if Georgia and Ohio had a baby

Yeah and one of those guys is this thing.

No biggie, just some random fuck you I’m a giant walking around as a stock mook in town.

@Dustcan
That’s why I always carry Edgar with me. I just love to use Noise Blaster every single time I fight.

MyNintendo just announced they’re discontinuing Gold Nintendo coins that you can redeem for discounts on Switch digital games/DLC… So if any of you have any left spend them before March.

To quote the author of VGCats, I feel like a “beaten wife” with Nintendo sometimes. No matter how many times they bitch-slap me, I still love them… Oh well, I guess every company does crappy things sometimes, but at least Nintendo usually does something nice to make up for it.

The Switch 2 better have a StarFox game or something else cool/unexpected to make up for this…

@Dustcan
Man, I remember those guys.

FF6 (AKA FF3 if you’re an old fart) is still a great game.

This guy wrecked my party’s shit the first time I ran into him.

Inb4 it’s another 64 remake

It’s disappointing, but I don’t by many games digitally so I didn’t get a huge return out of the gold points. But I do hope they replace it with something

Is it just me, or is the original FF7’s pacing really, REALLY bad?

Story or gameplay?

Not a fan of how slow the battles are compared to IX and X.
