FF8 should have been a horror game
- The CGI graphics remind me too much of a mix of Silent Hill 2 and Parasite Eve - Squall with blood on his face was so striking as the colour red does not appear often in the game - the frame of Squall’s lack of face gave me nightmares when my game lagged during the ending cutscene
- Rinoa’s unique appearance from clothing (love her DIY duster, bodysuit romper thing with the mini skirt) to her face (strong long and thick eyebrows, downturned eyes that look small when she squirts, and her pale face with no colour) makes her look quite...evil? when she smiles, she looks innocent at first but with her strong eyebrows and pale face, something about her reminds me of ghosts and spirits in Asian folklore (also Silent Hill for some reason)
- It might just be how blocky yet smooth the CGI looks in cutscenes but the character designs are unique because it doesn’t look that anime?
- Squall OG design has a really thick neck and angler face which made him look more realistic with the addition of not-anime sized eyes
- I think the lack of warmth on the character models make their faces look so dead which works if it was a horror game
- THE ENDING CUTSCENE! WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW SCARY THAT SHIT WAS? The two things I knew about the game was the frame of No-Face Squall from a watchmojo thumbnail and the ending cutscene (I had no context to the game at that point)
FF8 and Yugioh GX have the same weird setting design
- It’s a weird mix of futuristic (ish) mechanic vibes with socresses and aliens
- Like in GX, its surprising light hearted up until a point where it gets unnecessary edgy with monsters and magic
- It’s actually really hard to describe it but it’s not like FF7′s dieselpunk setting or YuGiOh DM’s mix of Japanese punk rock with Ancient Egyptian settings
Honestly, why did I waste my time getting attached to characters if they were gonna die in the end? A part of me wonders if Diego’s part in the story was cut. We all know that most of the budget went to Anton’s actor salary but I wish we saw more of Diego without his father beside him. The kid just doesn’t show up enough in the story, but I still got really attached to him and wanted him to live by the end. What a bummer.
I wanna watch challenges because the only two things I know about it is that tennis is somehow involved in the plot and there is supposedly a really graphic scene of Zendaya’s breaking her ankle(?) which was entirely done by a real-sized replica of Zendaya’s lower half and torso.
The director is from bones and all, a movie no one but me has seen so I’m expecting the movie to be secretly a horror movie. Also the writer was like some meme back in early YouTube before 2010?
It sounds promising to me at least.
Someone sent this in the GC. Haven’t seen arcane season 2 yet but this is just neat 🥹
handsome !
Rebirth Date Spoilers
Yall if you got the Tifa date in chapter 12 - you’re gonna be pissed about what happens in chapter 13 and 14.
On a serious note, people have been so disingenuous about the Aerith vs Tifa dates. Both sides cherry picked specific lines from their respective date scenes to prove one side over another. When you look at the whole thing, it’s more complicated than that.
Additionally, if you’re purposefully rude to one girl during your gameplay because you hate the character, then I don’t think the outcome you got was the “intended” canon.
Cloud likes both girls and no, he wouldn’t treat one girl worse than the other “canonically” - you the player made it that way. The outcome that you got from doing that is what you wanted and that’s fine because it’s your play through of it - but it doesn’t mean it’s “canon” or else you will be so surprised in the last two chapters when Cloud gets a lot of screen time with one girl over the other.
I don’t mean this as just a dig at Tifa fans but I think her fans are more aggressive than Aerith fans, just from some peoples reactions to chapters 13 and 14.
We did it gang
They deserved to have a fistfight
What I’ve been missing in my life
Naruto and sasuke still make me so insane like I already said this yesterday but few other relationships in fiction perfectly capture the gut wrenching heartbreak of having an intense homoerotic friendship and then having a messy falling out as teenagers
Chainsaw man fucking sucks but the first chapter was so good. Denji was a decent character but the moment his ambitions (touching girls bodies) was revealed, it ruined his character. Him explicitly viewing the women around him as sex objects is awful. He doesn’t even really care if he dislikes them, he just wants to touch their breasts. The male author can’t help himself and justifies it by having the female characters act in a way that women would not act like and feed into his perversions. Not to mention, the story is MID. It wasn’t even worth the read for the story.
Zettaflare solve all problems….I think
