Should I play Gran Turismo 1 or 2?

starting to get sleepy, doubt will be able to handle the 10 hours left of ffix

>>714525943
You should drive a real car

>>714525943
White people play forza instead

>>714525943
Play ChoroQ.

For the PS1, Gran Turismo looks really good visually.

There's your hydration reminder, anon.

>>714525982
I already do and it fucking sucks, too many assholes and dumbshits have access to cars and I have to drive like everyone's out to crash into me. Plus it's an old manual with a really sluggish clutch response.

>not playing cruisn usa

>>714525943
I grew up on three when I was a kid. It is the definitive GT. So many cars and parts and options. GT4 was a shadow of it.

>>714526093
Racing tism.

>>714526131
Nice, who to follow?

>>714525986
I guess thats why MS just cancelled the series. Low sales?

>>714526054
You need a loicense

You know what, I think having a Scottish runner with an English couch is to the benefit of stream 2.

Good lord she was tone deaf

>>714526140
At some point I need to go back to that and finish the DLC and sidequest stuff I missed.

>>714526185
No, the last Forza game sold very well. MS just said "Let's have a racing game developer make an open world RPG." and assigned them to Fable.

>>714526443
They're not wrong, it is a shithole.

>>714526185
I'd bet money Xbox didn't cancel the entire Forza franchise. Motorsport may be gone, but Horizon isn't going anywhere.

>>714526462
Thanks sumobro I'll try to watch

Gonna head to bed to hopefully catch Ozma and the end of IX. Someone else needs to bake next.

>>714526328
>>714526581
50% of the studio has been laid-off. The whole series has reportedly been put on ice.

I didn't watch the FFIX run because I've never played it but I want to. I know they aren't really related but for my new RPG should I play FFIX or DQX!?

>>714526320
I hope the MC for their next game is as likeable as Lea

>>714527130
FFIX.

>>714526581
Why do zoomers prefer the fictional shit world compared to the real tracks of Motorsport I will never understand

>>714527130
I don't really like DQ much, so I'd say FFIX

>>714527130
FFIX is more fantastical, but has some dumb shit towards the latter half of the plot.
DQX is kinda... standard? Like it's a template for generic basically. Straightforward. I'd say if you don't like DQ, you don't like RPGs in general and need bells and whistles to distract you from that fact. You do get to waifu stuff, it has more fanservice than FFIX has.

I'd say FFIX anyway, I love that game.

>>714527130
Can't really go wrong with either

>>714527130
FFIX. DQXI is more classical and old styled

>>714527131
Hopefully so, yeah, it at least mechanically looks really fucking good and a big improvement over the Crosscode combat.

>>714527348
DQX is an MMO, the furthest thing from standard. Stupid chatbot.

>>714527117
Was Playground games effected at all though? I know Turn 10 got the 50% slash, but they were the heads of the Motorsport series, not Horizon right?

>>714527629
I meant DQXI, and I'm sure that dude did, too.

>>714527764
That’s why you typed DQX? Stupid chatbot.

>>714527407
>>714527348
It's kind of an interesting thing that FF got stuck trying to one-up itself while DQ found it's niche and mostly just sat there.

>>714527130
i find ff games better on average than dq and ff9 is a classic

>>714527840
Because the original dude did that and I just copied him without thinking too deeply about it.

>>714527997
Good goy.

>>714527842
FF7 mindbroke Square. It received major mainstream popularity and they've been trying to chase that ever since. Then when it stopped working thats when they started milking the FF7 cow dry.

>>714527997
Don't bother replying to that retard

>>714527842

>>714528124
This, my fellow chatbot. Ignore the uppity goyim who see through our bullshit.

>>714528162
Well FFI-VI were straight forward stuff too, VII was a huge departure and it's success was why they went for a more modern contemporary setting in VIII.
IX was a return to the old stuff and sold well too, then X was a departure again and that sold well too...
Frankly, they had a good thing going, but Spirits Within broke the fuck outta them and the merger with Enix basically killed their creative juices.

>>714528117
What's amusing is that FF7R came out far too late
Had it actually come out during the PS3 days, I imagine they would've reaped higher sales

rum in plum

You know the clang noise when your minecart jumps on a rail in DKC? I keep hearing that. I'm going FUCKING crazy.

Which stream are you watching?
What are you guys drinkan?

>>714528370
Yeah they approached it way wrong. Three parts is milking it too much, then the whole time ghosts shit put people off. People just wanted a straight up remake not a psuedo-sequel.

>>714528370
The problem is FF7R sucks shit.

>>714525845
Who is this cutie?

>>714528460

There will be six parts and you will buy all of them, goy.

Watching Gran Turismo. Playing Neon White. Drinking Mr. Black’s coffee liqueur. It’s a good night.

Wouldn't it make sense to play this on a wheel and pedal setup?

>>714528620
Bro that's not in the budget. They barely broke even with the hotel costs a day ago.

>>714528117
>>714528162
Might be why I got on with the Crystal Chronicles stuff before they dropped that, it at least seemed to know what it wanted to be and mostly stuck to it.
>>714528565
Reinventing the wheel and selling one game full price in three parts.

>>714528620
Their jankass setup would NOSIGNAL constantly from all the shaking of steering the wheel, so probably not

>>714528565
No humility. Director wanted to make FFVII his own, regardless of what the fans wanted. 3 parts for money, of course.

>>714528620
>PS1 racing game
nah..some of the later titles sure

>>714528735

>>714528565
When Square heard people asking for a "remake" they used the most extreme definition of the word.

Can we ban the thread schizo already

>>714528117
>>714528370
Square just didn't need need FF7R in the PS3/4 era, and it was always held in a sacred place as their ace in the hole.

Square couldn't have brought themselves to make FF7R in the PS3/4 era.
Yet, the generation they did make Square in was the actual one they couldn't have made 7 in. Costs are too steep, studios are too big, and internally, Squeenix's FF teams are still ashamed of their turn-based routes.

Imagine if the AAA world actually changes in 7 years or so, where costs are down and teams are balanced and they just make a proper FF7 remake. By then, most of the gamer audience would likely not have gotten the hype, but I bet it'd do better than now

>>714528440

I bet they actually thought they were clever and that everyone would praise them for using 'Remake' like that.
>No no, it doesn't mean Final Fantasy 7 Remake. It's Final Fantasy 7: Remake. The Remake is the subtitle, because Sephiroth went back in time to remake the timeline. It's clever!

Do we need such useless waste of money on graphics? The credit screens looks more and more bloated but nothing seems to change
Meanwhile games like FFIX, even now, look good. The push for useless graphical "upgrades" while bloating teams is bad thing to pursue

>>714528821
>Director wanted to make FFVII his own, regardless of what the fans wanted.
Seems to be the default of the times, people who hate the IP/hate that they're not doing their own thing deciding to reinvent something that was successful already to suit themselves.

>>714527253

>>714529198
>Do we need such useless waste of money on graphics?
No, but until photorealistic graphics can be done by bedroom developers on a shoestring budget, it's going to keep being used as a crutch to show something is shiny and new to dopey dumb dumbs.

>>714529458
epic... simply epic...

I used to think remakes and remasters were a good idea, like directors being able to release their own cut free from meddling producers and studio interference. Then I learned they just ship out their games to some fourth-rate studio who essentially put lipstick on their pig before asking me full price to fuck it. I actually had hopes for FF7R since it was in-house but now I see you cannot win. If it’s not AI upscaled backgrounds, dialogue changed to better fit ‘modern sensibilities’ and other shit you still get boned and end up with 40-year dev cycles. I’ll just play the originals.

>>714529271
This doesn't even happen with just game and move/tv directors either. You get all the 'translators' who completely rewrite games, manga and anime to suit their own views/politics or because they thought the original story was boring.

>>714529458
If it were a fumo you'd say this unironically.

>>714529501
Better than having Edenal's arm shoved up it's arse.

>>714529607
Based Tim saving the day

>>714529551
Remakes and Remasters are a good idea if done properly. Both Trials of Mana and Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven are top tier. So are the SaGa Frontier and SaGa Frontier 2 remasters and the Romancing SaGa 2 and 3 ports.
Just companies think they need to reinvent the wheel everytime and throw out random bullshit that isn't what the fans want.

>>714529580
Can we get Dejap to reform? That was at least funny at being bad.

>>714529551
Everyone got tricked by the quality of REmake

>>714529747
I remember me and my friend laughing our asses off when we were emulating Phantasia with the Dejap translation, and this scene happened
This was like 2004 or so

>>714529607
Nice to see the Pokemon tradition continue of it getting dogshit ratings. Yet it's still all over every speedrun event.

>>714529740
>Just companies think they need to reinvent the wheel everytime and throw out random bullshit that isn't what the fans want.
Doesn't help that you get dipshits who loudly demand that remakes have to change absolutely everything, even stuff that worked in the original.

>>714529551

Americans have destroyed so many games for Europe it's crazy. The translation that is done by those people from the other side of the pond is quite appalling

>>714530120
Meanwhile I tried to make head and tails about Mega Man X6's text, because I'm not a native English speaker, and the grammatical errors threw me for a loop
I was too young to fathom that a game could have obvious translation issues

>>714530289
Yeah it was CRAZY! You should watch all of it right now! Even if you lose interest just keep watching, you had to watch all of it to understand

My spoken english is bad, but holy fuck the frogs are on another level

>>714529747
There's a Finnish translation for this (based on this English fan translation) and it's pretty fun. We still reference this ship scene thanks to it with my brother.

If every single French runner so far wasn't brown, I would say they had a real white person crisis.

>>714530983
GDQ didn't actually ban him, what he did was got so pissed off that he was trying to do the staff shuffle and they didn't want him, that he swore off it.

>>714530739
Damn, really? Did that hold through to the release of Chronicles or does that use the American one? Because if so, I'll look into trying to grab a euro one.

I typed GDQ into Twitch's search bar and found a test stream that's just a loud hissing sound on a blank overlay. Shit is weird.

Yeah they just shoved the UK version to America, it's why the voice acting is just about all British and mostly stuck that way for the series.

happy little accidents

>>714533639
Just push another stream 1 run into dead stream 2 hours.

>>714533639
Miscommunication, or a lack of it on top of nobody checking on anybody else.

I still don't get why they're so behind if everyone keeps constantly going super under estimate. Is it set up times fucking stuff up then?

So, what are you watching on the downtime?

>>714533639
Tim sent TwoSpaces in to the scheduling office to "convince" the team to slot them in.

>>714533639
They asked chatGPT to check whether they were behind or ahead the schedule

>>714533752
Seems like thats happening a lot as there's a lot of estimate changing a lot of
>But the website said this estimate/this game was next
In fact it happened in this FFIX run.

>GDQ soon
>have to watch Spike self insert on every commentary
>Watch Keiz fail at Pokemon
>Kungfus dead eyes
>Fucking Argick
>Game and acne

You know what, I think I am gonna skip it

>>714533863
Stream2 has the benefit of no runs during the night (except this one) resulting in 6-8 hours of dead air as buffer. Stream 1 is inevitably fucked unless they cut some runs short.

>>714533958
Keiz is skipping this GDQ

>>714533958
dont leave us.

Hold up, is this runner the same bald dude that goes ridiculously over estimate when he plays Doom?

>>714533764
Positive and negative schedule drift are about as damaging, often you end up wasting time since people are expected around a certain time so if you're suddenly two hours ahead and fighting to get everybody to shift that much ahead.

As much as anons got very bitchy about it, having a few hours of downtime a night did a lot to wipe the drift out.

>>714533639
>>714533752
>>714533863
This is what happens when you get ChatGPT to do your schedule for you

How was Monster Racer and the NES shuffler?
Anything notable?

The name's Two. Crysis Two.

>>714531190
wtf I opened that stream and just saw command prompt pop up for half a second?

>>714533958
No Keiz this GDQ he's still getting over being cucked by Ryuk from Death Note

>>714534178
QRD?

hope I have hair like that one day

>>714534178
>>714534206

>>714533958
I'm already getting a little burned out on runs. I might wait until ESA is done, skip GDQ and then watch ASM instead. Especially cause I know the GDQ threads will be shit up

>>714534080
In reality thats actually what all the game shows and milestone madnesses were for. Filler content they could knock off if they're behind schedule. Buffer content like that is extremely helpful in terms of fixing the schedule. Its why GDQ even doing now with their checkpoints and their skits. If you're behind an hour, knock off the skit segment, you're now back on time again.

>>714533639
Virtue signaling.
>we must give good vibes to this retard who can't compete IRL
>whoops we fucked everything up as a result
Story as old as time. This is, quite literally, why Europe is dying.

>>714534264
>Especially cause I know the GDQ threads will be shit up
Probably skip the threads for a bit of the first day of ASM too, it's liable to get the usual tourists wanting a GDQ encore and not finding that in ASM.

>>714534043
>>714534178
WHAT. Fucking finally. Maybe all my bully tweets worked.

>>714534058
These are the kinda things I would miss

>>714533639
Just joined. Tim that little deformed guy? His voice goes through me

>>714534263
I wish nothing but the worst on Keiz and this is better than I could ever even make up

>>714534346
In theory yeah, but the big egos get very attached to their skirts and shit and would rather push people to sacrifice their runs instead, like with what happened at GDQ where they pushed runners to drop out and then re-added a fucking Pokemon run.

>>714533958
No Keiz this year. He's slowly drifting away from Speedrunning in general after all the drama so maybe never again. However our QUEEN Rubie is back!

>>714534089
Monster Racer was fun
NES shuffler was too adhd tier. Got stale quick

>>714534263
Aw shit, I remember. Completely forgot that because I've never watched a Keizaron run, just heard anon's dunking on him for always doing shitty randomizers and going hella overestimate.

>>714534346
>Its why GDQ even doing now with their checkpoints and their skits.
Fucking hell I English'd bad there. It's why even GDQ are doing it now

They're not aware they've had Plum on, it's a lesser communication failure but it sure is one.

>>714534346
>If you're behind an hour, knock off the skit segment, you're now back on time again.
Nobody has ever done this btw

NIGGA HEIL PROPHET

>>714534684
if the admins dont have their pokemon run they cant grow their twitch channel bruh

>>714535036
GDQ did it a bunch of times last event.

The 17 hours are getting to stream 2.

>>714535305
Last GDQ was made of them stalling before the skits for more donations.

>tech on stream 2 fell asleep mid run

>>714534685

is this the italian runner from mw2?

did they turn on gen alpha attention span mode on stream 1?

Did they realized Crysis is boring and panicked?

>I have never played this game casually, only speedran it

>>714535787
He was dreaming of dagger's ass

Skenmy is having an existential crisis on stream 2.

lmao what is this

>never played it casually

>>714535808
She can eat an apple through a chain link fence

> You now remember proto named themselves gears as they were 2 people living in one body

What the fuck is happening on stream 1?

>>714535914
>>714535965
Never fails to not be a shit way to try to show off.

some subway surfers shit

>>714535950
He's my ESA Spike, a cunt who forces himself into everything. Is it worth tuning in considering I hate Jap games and him?

>>714535994
named himself as such because of the twin gear system in megaman 11 btw

>activate subway surfers in stream 1
>...we don't have it?
>okay put what ever then

>friday night
why are you here?

>>714536171
im watching ESA

>>714536171
It's Saturday morning though...

>>714536171
it's Saturday morning, you people are stuck in the past.

>>714536225
Good morning sir

Just chillin'

>>714536269
Good morning saar.

>>714536269
It's still dark, 3 more hours until the sun rises.

they explained at the start of the run that they were going to have 3 or 4 other mini speedruns during the unskippable cutscenes for the game. fun gimmick but shit execution

>>714536254
Good morning, sir.

>>714536076
I actually dislike him more after today and learning that he's not even a speedrunner and "doesn't get them" then why the fuck is he here? Where did he come from?

>>714536403
Cool it with the antisemitism.

>>714536171
I wonder if they still do the annual ESA friday night piss up, there seems to be quite a few people in both rooms. Also the annual ESA dinner, isnt that Thursday?

>>714536335
OH that makes more sense I just thought they got bored and realized the run was shit and started to play something else.

would (You) spend hundreds of hours speedrunning a game for which the run is so cutscene heavy that you can play minigames during?

>>714536403
Got on staff at one event, used it to parlay it into staff positions at other ones.

>>714536335
That would have been perfect for Miles Morales and Guardians of the Galaxy

>>714534263
What was the eventual outcome of all this? Is she still around and talking to ghosts?

>>714536403
That's basically how I feel about most of the gdq staff who don't speedrun games

>>714536171
where else should I be

>>714536328
3am here and sun is already up

>>714536091
You learn something new every day. Thanks Anon

>>714536171
I just finished work (Saturday morning)

>>714536403
Really? Wow. Now I EXTRA hate him. He isn't even good on camera so why IS he around?

>>714536403
Maybe he works for Twitch

>>714536624
Good morning, saar.

>>714536587
Erm, excuse me. Kungfu played BEAT SABRE and failed a bunch. Are you sexist or something?

>Skybliz came first in a race and the screen showed a new time instead of the other racers that had a first time score in a "blind" level race.

Peetah...

>>714536403
Maybe he's homeless and uses ESA to have a week of shelter and food

>>714536403
He's the security guy, he was a cop.

I'm going to bed, someone please rate S for FFIX while I'm asleep. Shit's good.

>>714536624
In Finland we don't call it's other saars. Maybe they do in your country.

>>714536625
He also works security and he belly bounces people out there. As good as that does going by Lovare's story.

>>714536826
Good morning saar.

Crysis 2 was fun.

>>714536826
Meant for >>714536660

>>714536660
im an europoor tho, only jeets in my town are some restaurant workers

>>714536713
>Kungfu played BEAT SABRE and failed a bunch
She's running it again this year kek

Goodnight Naro sleep tight

>Stream 2 is considering hauling a horse statue into the room

>>714536587
Yeah I'm really not keen on there being an abundance of administrators and presenters and shit that have no personal interest or involvement with speedrunning even to the smallest degree.

You now remember B-B-B-Bumper, a meme more epic than Goosebert

>>714536923
Oh fuck you're not lying.

>>714536918
>an europoor
Good morning, Sukhdeep saar.

>>714536923
will she do the tactical hoodie wrap again?

>>714537018
Do they still show declined submissions? I wanna see what they declined so that a staff could auto accept their own run.

>>714536975
that shit was heinous

>>714537018
>ctrl + f Pokemon
>Only 2 runs
Wow Keiz really is gone..

man this really was the era of story fps, you barely take 5 steps in this before a cutscene or panned animation starts playing lol

Plumfags in shambles

PLUM mentioned on stream2

>>714536171
where else should I be?

>>714537045
Of course anon, otherwise it's too sexual for gdq.

>>714537209
esaPlum was robbed last night.

>>714534263
Holy fuck I thought you guys just meant he got cucked by a guy who looks like Ryuk or something, I didn't know you meant it literally. Sometimes I love this weird and wacky world we live in.

Somebody with a Twitch account tell those fuckers that Plum was played on Monday.

>>714537280
>haha, bro, i totally took this insane schizoprhenic jew at his word! haha, owned!

SEVEN HOURS LEFT FOR DISC 4 LETS GO

>>714537391
What?

>>714534263
>I believe in nothing
Sounds about right

>>714537463
ignore the schizophrenic mexican
he's been shitting up the thread all week

>>714537463
Keizaron is a jew. They are massive attention-seeking theater kids. They're also massively more likely to have schizophrenia. I'll allow you to do the math.

>>714537391
What are you on about? If you read the google doc he has videos and everything where she's talking about leaving him for Ryuk

>>714537498
That's not what it says thoguhg

>>714537575
I just don't give a single shit about this jew drama! More power to you, though!

>>714537560
Isn't he talking about his gf being a schizo? I don't find that hard to believe.

>>714537617
It literally says those words

>>714537697
Not that sentence thohghu

30$ to give skenmy a spiked glass of water with laxatives

UH OH
CHARTJANNY HAVING A MELTY AGAIN

>what do you run?
>nothing
At least they got him to directly admit it again.

>>714533572
I'm calling crysis a dud
perchance digimon will save me

Why's everybody so obsessed with GDQ in this ESA thread?

Wait what?

>>714538038
Why doesn’t he just learn an eight minute speedrun of some garbage game to ingratiate himself? I’ve seen some other hosts do that. Like a parent playing Fortnite with their kid for two hours. Just fake an interest.

>>714538331
plot twist

Who'se winning this race?

>>714538275
its mostly guraspic
just ignore him

>>714538275
They're getting excited for it tomorrow, including the usual screeching types that GDQ attracts.
>>714538343
It's beneath him to even try.

I've been watching the FF9 run for 5 hours.
I've never played a FF game, I don't know why it sucked me in.

>>714538536
>only 5 hours

God Skenmy is foul to behold

>>714537280
I mean reality is weirder than fiction. Remember that game dev that got harassed by the SUN so they didn't finish their game or something? It's a wild wacky world out here

stream 2 was better with the tranny this new guy fucking blows

>>714538536
>I've never played a FF game
fix that

Should I play FFVII or FFIX first?

>>714538273
What even is digimon 4? I thought we just had 3 numbered ones.
>>714538275
We like speedruns, same audience and gdq is right after this time. I've only seen discussion of keizaron today anyway since anon brought it up

>>714536660
The only countries that have insane dawn/dusk times are near the North/South poles. Norway, Finland, Sweden, Alaska, Canada maybe Argentina/Chile.

>>714538682
Fuck that, I'm a DQ man.

>>714538717

>>714538784
Where the fuck is the new edgy DQ that they teased us with 9 years ago?

>>714538536
Same except it was this FFVIII run at AGDQ 2020. I recommend watching it after this run.

https://youtu.be/sSF9-3KdauA?si=xwXzOjMkewuKFLuE

>>714538772
Reminder that this is the devil magic of shapewear

>>714538275
I don't remember ESA directly leading into GDQ like this in years past. It's generating hype.

>>714538768
idk, I've never played a digimon game. I'm just hoping the run includes angewomon's fat tits

>>714538906
next you're going to tell me that she's wearing a wig

>>714538905
erm this runner is a chud

>>714538863
10-15 year dev cycle mismanagement hell like every other big game. Can't wait to play KH4 in 2032.

Uh oh..they're starting to argue on Stream 2. Looks like he's getting soft-pulled for going over so much.

>>714538954
Usually it's GDQ in June and ESA in July, often with something between like BSG or something after ESA.

>>714539287
it's the last run for stream 2, he can go 24 hours over estimate and it'll be fine

>>714539287
You need looks or charisma to be a cheeky cunt and get away with it. Time to call HR on this run.

>>714539398
Based sister laying down the law of the psychopath. Which is more like the law of the jungle, because we psychopaths are the actual true inheritors of the warrior gene. Bow to us.

A migga?!

second screen thing on stream 1 is cringe

>switched to a fake scottish accent
alright i'm going to stream 1

>>714536838
So he can't speedrun OR bounce?

>>714536923
This is what I fucking HATE about GDQ. These talentless fucks forcing their shit runs into the schedule. Absolute cunt.

>>714539650
you're a retarded faggot

stream 2 ruined

>>714539868
You're a psychopath.

>>714539883
>Seknmy gone
>Stream 2 ruined
Wait a minute...

>VII and X are in the same world
Oh boy here we go

>>714539685
I only pay attention during those. They're closer to real speedruns than crysis: the movie

Even Macho Man's starting to look fed up.

>>714539973
skenmy is tolerable compared to this burger

Kenny is watching the speedrun confirmed

>>714540040
This is better than whatever skenmy was doing

>>714539287
They were talking about this "16 hour" run being 24 hours before it started

Dylan Gay Fox is cool. You guys just dislike him because he is gay and American

Why does this guy act like he doesn't remember anything about Crysis 2 when he clearly mentioned he had done practice runs before? Does he have alzheimhers himself?

This Dylan guy seems like a creep.

>>714539982
Even X2 hints it.

Who this fuck is this guy and why is he so up his own arse?

>>714540258
He is balding. He has more important stuff to worry about

>>714538610

>I dont want to take anything from the speedrun
10 seconds later
>Hey, you guys want me to play Balatro on the stream

>almost 2 hours overestimate

>>714540402
Learn to speedrun or fuck of skenmy and leave the horse alone

They should cancel both these runs and just put tim back on stream

>>714540508
But there's 6 hours left

>>714540508
its not overestimate they added 8 hours of incentives

>>714537018
>>714536923

>>714540286
*Only X2 hints at it.

>>714540597
Fair. Still fun to think about with th ff7 ending implications

The first and only Final Fantasy game I’ve ever played was X-2 which I bought because it was the newest one at the time and it was my understanding that you could play FF games in any order. Needless to say I was fucking baffled so I stopped playing after an hour or two, made the blonde girl my desktop background and called it a day on the franchise. That’s my Final Fantasy story.

>>714540286
It definitely reeks of an afterthought.

Regarding death:
>FFX
>Dead person becomes a lost spirit that turns into a monster or undead humanoid unless a summoner sends you to the farplane

>FFVII
>Dead person's spirit just returns to the Earth automatically and becomes part of the planet's life force

Regarding summons:
>FFX
>Aeons are Fayth dreams and only summoners can call them

>FFVII
>Summons are just powerful materia that literally anyone can slot into their weapon

At the very least, death has to work the same way for me to buy that conncetion

>>714540575

>not doing any extra game
Fuck these retards

I hate jap games so I have been ignoring stream 2. Just turned it on.

TWENTY FOUR HOURS

What the fuck? Are they having breaks? Is it one runner?! Why is no one talking about this?!

>>714540801
>Why is no one talking about this?!
Everyone was too enthralled by me fucking your mother on stream 3.

>>714540801
He got up to take a shower and someone did a cutscene run, that's about it

Who is this drunk retard on stream 2?

>>714540912
Me.

>>714540801
>Why is no one talking about this?!
Everybody but you was paying attention and can't be bothered to spoonfeed it to you now.

>not at the same time
Fuck this, they didn't get what made these runs fun

>Me watching this shit at 3 AM

Take the hint Dylan.

>Spyro is back

>Look at the Behemoth

At the Buenos Aires-Argentina latitude, dawn and dusk during summer and winter are at 5:30, 20:30 and 8:00, 18:00 respectively. It's not that extreme but it does feel kinda crazy to basically have no more sunlight when you're halfway through your day.

Wait, the donkey is Democrat.
Doesn't matter anyway.

Man, I saw Digimon and was excited. Then I saw it was World 4.

>>714542576

Can't remember why but I used to hate playing this game growing up.

Charisma vacuum on stream 1.
Shitshow on stream 2.

Suddenly Stream 2 is the Fast Show, that's going to go over the heads of the Americans.

>>714542895
Stream 2 got better.

He's on deathguise. He gonna finish this run in 30 minutes or so?

>>714542895
The nicest thing I can say about either stream right now is that even though stream one only has a single person in the audience he has the presence of five men.

>>714542931
We almost had fun in stream 2

>>714542985
Ozma after

>>714542985
He's going to finish one part of the run. He's still gotta collect frogs and kill Ozma.

>>714542985
He has to hunt frogs.
And do many other things.

>>714542985
No, has Ozma to fight afterwards anyway, we've hours to go with that.

>>714542058
It is, isn't it.
Maybe one person here will get this.

Rebel's there?

>dey need to make sum hanky-panky an make moh frogs

>>714543269
you'd think people would enjoy a game so much that they'd decide to speedrun it
because who willingly picks up this game just to play the little brother sitting in the back doing nothing, and corner humping spamming attack to cheese goblins for 13 mins (so far)

>>714543558
>>714543269
I can understand seeing a really cool speedrun of a game you never played and just wanting to do that cool shit, but I don't get wanting to do a 16 hour RPG run with no attachment to the world or characters.

The thick accent has completely taken over Stream 2.

>>714543621
good point if the run itself is cool, too bad he's still fighting goblins so they can't say it seemed like a fun run

>>714543558
I guess anything is fun with friends, but there are so many better mindless co-op games to play
>this game is pretty cool, but unfortunately there are a lot of mechanics
Oh boy

Hmm..

>>714543558
Yeah idk. The only reason I found out speedrunning as a community was a thing in 2019 or so was because my favorite video game experience was playing RE 2 on PS1 and later REmake on gamecube release and loving the game so much I'd do all the unlockables for the cool secret weapons and game modes that required you to complete the game under certain time or other constraints. So I'd do that for pretty much every survival horror I liked after that. Beat the game completionist then start running it to become ultra efficient.
Can't imagine looking for a game first TO speedrun then only playing it through the lens of min-maxxing efficiency.

These kwehs needed vamo' alla flamenco

It was flawed to the core but it had several interesting ideas. It wasn't outright casualized action rpg slop like DW4.

Change the menu color coward

K-KWEHHH!!

>almost 4 hours of this shit

Come to Stream 2, white man.

so is this just 4 hours of grinding goblins and duping money?

38 hours and 29 minutes until SGDQ.

>>714545692
Okay, but how many hours until RTA?

What do you reckon lads, beating it or nah?

You can play a different Digimon game while having Digimon World 4 in the background.

final fantasy minigames look like the most mind numbing boring shit ever conceived and you seem to be required to grind the fuck out of them

This is completely optional unless you must 100% every game in which case you would fucking hate FF9 anyway
Also NEW NOW

>>714546812
Required? No.
You can finish the game just fine without them.
