Finally catching up with the thread again, and there's secondaries who forever seethe about jarpigs as always.

Odds runner is a tranny
Evens they're just a regular nerd

>>715601725
kek

>>715601725
one of the runners was in the stream just now

>>715601725
Both were part of SA1 yesterday

>>715601632
Umm sweatie... le more le merrier!

>>715601725
Steiner...

>>715601717
you can't speedrun jrpgs

>tune in for the first time since the start
>quadro tranny
So much for based aussie chuds

do you think they made a pronoun mistake with the dude on the right or is he actually a zero effort tranny just claiming she/her like that?

>>715602079
PWNED!
They are way less obnoxious than the GDQ-ones though.

>>715601551 (OP)
what the hell have i tuned into... i thought this shit only showed up at GDQ bros?

>mute stream cause of ads
>come back, unmute
>hear two guys
>both she/her
why are they like this, is it the discord-focused nature of speedrunning+grooming nerdy guys?

At least this is the last tranny run for a good while

>"Here Comes Niko" tranny game
>check stream
>it's all trannies

>>715602240
rolling

Did one of them just say this game is held together by "hopes, dreams, and gender"?

There are tranny marathon now (Games Done Queer), "supposed to be female"-marathons, nigga-marathons.
Why don't we make a binary marathon with just male and female runner. Keep the tranny trash out!

>>715602483
dont forget frame fatales, for that same minority

>>715602483
none of the good speed runners will endorse it from fear or losing their social standing

>>715602483
Imagine if all the she/hers were actual legit women. There'd probably be loads more viewers because people would wanna tune in to watch babes play video games. If you didn't know, you'd see all the she/hers and be like "Wow, I thought games were a predominantly male hobby, what happened?!" I guess that means most market studies performed by game companies would have incorrect data, if the people being surveyed are trannies giving the wrong pronouns.

WOOOW IS THAT AN UNDERTALE REFERENCE?

Please let FFX be comfy for the love of god. Does Muttski still do marathon runs?

>>715602705
I dont know. Im not a faggot.

time for our daily SOVL

look who is running next!

Fucking kek

>Urban Climb sponsoring

>>715603793
Thats not bald. Thats a buzzcut, bald you would need to shave it with a razor after
These fags are scamming people pretty much

>JWU
Good morning. Any neat runs I missed?

Just boyz being boyz

will you guys be tuning in for my sinisistar run?

Can the right side stop choking

>>715601717
jrpg are there just to fill the comfy quota

>>715604240
The high amount of alpha energy Werster radiates is causing him to choke

>>715604149
Fasho

This race is godly. It's not close but who gives a shit, the energy is just right and werster's putting on a good show

>>715604149
Coom Games Done Quick when

I always believed, time to turn the tables

I might emulate this, looks fun

>>715602483
We have RTA in japan already.

>>715604149
Show us your censored assets

Just woke up, looks like team blue is absolutely mogging. Game looks fun though

A race that went round by round, yet is still all but over thanks to Werster ass-raping the other guy during his turn

>>715604836
The Joester comeback is on

it should have been Joester vs Werster & Stylonide vs Damosk

>>715603860
what's with the bald gimmick?

>>715604930
every time they reach a certain donation total (every $5000 I think)) someone shaves their head

>Out-of-game issues like menuing and controller swapping aren't docked against you since they're using the in-game timer
>Rewarded for getting coins and going hitless
>Points per level matter, not just overall
This actually seems like a really good idea for a relay. I don't know why it's not emulated more. In fact, even if it's one-sided right now, I actually feel like I can get what's going on in the race which makes it a huge achievement

I’ve been watching Werster practice this.

>>715605041
Yeah, going level by level makes it a lot more interesting to follow along.

>>715605135
Must feel nice to play a game where you're 100% in control of what's happening after so many years of pokemon randomness

How am I supposed to know which runs I slept trough are worth watching without a chart?

>My sphincter everytime they have to weave through a narrow corridor at max speed

>>715605269
He plays Sonic regularly too, he just rarely streams it and does those in caveman mode where he only uploads his recordings to YouTube.

this has been a damn fine race that's actually held my attention the entire time
>>715605271
read the threads. not like there are 20 every hour

>>715605135

Same, I've been looking forward to this run.

>>715605309
Apparently he doesn't stream Sonic because the community is toxic (not to mention when someone tried to cancel him in like 2021)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtgi6PGECvE

>"Let's Play" has fallen out of gaming vernacular because everyone now is just a streamer

>>715605309
Right, I forgot he also did some sonic runs back in the day, but I didn't know he still ran them. Probably also some catharsis from rng.

>if that green guy killed me my controller was going through the monitor

>>715605575
>ctrl + f "rate"
Wow so hard

>>715605575
people are still rating to some extent. Just ctrl + f "Rate" you lazy cunt

>They both died

>>715605668
>>715605670
The last run I saw people rating was Halo 3.

>>715605718
This game looks really hard. One of those “simple but deadly” games.

>>715605752
My ass has been clenched since 1-1. This game looks great

this game is brutal, the gba one already was but this is on a different level

>>715601551 (OP)
Here Comes Niko is okay, but the game purposefully goes out of its way to avoid identifying the player character in ANY way. Like you have no clue if they're supposed to be trans, non-binary, homosexual, or what exactly.
All you do know is that they basically ran away from home from a pretty nasty mother.

Story aside, it's just a 3D sandbox platformer where you run around and interact with cute animal characters and collect stuff for them. It's fine but it's complete tumblr-core if you're either into that or completely detest it.

>>715605494
the idea of attempting to make an entertaining video on a game without a chat to riff off of or a prewritten script feels completely foreign now

>>715605842

Insane

almost

Holy shit that level

holy SHIT

Legendary

I audibly gasped when joester took damage. This was a great fucking relay

absolute KINO

Holy kino

Did that count as a draw?

>>715606291
they got points for each stage, so its not who finishes the last stage first

This is the run you need to not shut up about if you want people to know ASM is the shit

>>715606327
Got it. My lips are sealed.

>>715606291
Werster and Styl won with honest points.
Damosk and Joe won speed by one second.

>>715606216
so gald he's not alone anymore

>>715606327
It has Werster too so people may actually watch it

>how much time we got?
>enough
holy kek

this is chaos

Guess I found something to play during the FFX run

If this was GDQ they’d be promoting giveaways and doing excel spreadsheet filler shit by now.

>>715606628
They'd be parking the staff in front of the camera just for the sake of hearing themselves talk. This is so much better

Just a few bros having a good time. Absolutely based

>>715606628
All those moments of silence would've been filled with screaming donation readers to throw the runners off

It's a FF run.

>french laugh
Yeah this is kino

I forgot how good the intro of this game is, really puts you in the action. Probably on the same level as FFVII bombing run and FFVI opening walk

>>715607660
Eat shit tranny faggot. Your bans mean nothing lmao.

>>715607856
No Muttski :(

>AAAAAAAAAH I KEEP BANNING HIM BUT HE KEEPS POSTING HELP ME NIGGERMAN

I get you hate the janny but spamming this thread only fucks over the people using it, what an absolute dumbass

I really like the urgency of this music

>>715608006
The FFVII bombing mission intro will be forever the best in the entire franchise, and one of the best in all of gaming, with pic related as a very, very close second, but we don't say that because most people hated that game.

>speedrun requires multiple laptops to keep track of what the fuck is going on
Rad

>>715608185
>NOOOOOOOOO WHY WON'T HE STOP I DID THE THING I BANNED HIM I AM ALL-POWERFUL THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>715608248
Yeah FFVII is iconic. Most FFs in general have pretty strong openings, even if the game later on goes to shit.

>>715608235
Ok fine that was the last one.

I'm new to FFX speedruns but the fact that he now knows all these numbers off by heart based on a seed is pretty amazing to me

>>715606840
SSS

>>715608248
Does the FF1 bridge count as part of the opening?

>>715608248
You're heretical, you're disgusting, but you're not wrong

This game is fun but I can already tell speedrunning it probably takes years off your life

>>715608621
I guess. Come to think of it, barely any FF has a weak intro. The start of the FFVIII gameplay was kinda weak but the actual Liberi Fatali opening cutscene was great as well.
>>715608754
Clive's game is the the game that inspires the most love-hate extreme feelings out of any game I've ever tried.

>>715609005
FF3's is pretty weak, and as much as I love FF5 its opening isn't anything special

They're focusing too much on the game..... I have AGDQ withdrawl...... Host-sama please interrupt with a $10K donation from the Yeetee

>>715609212
Donation from the Yetee COMING RIGHT UP!!!

>>715607890
That and the moment where he gets the wall clip were both fucking incredible.

Everyone in this game has such homoerotic attires, it takes me out of it.

Cool playthrough, dingobros.

>>715609212
Honestly I wish the game volume was a little bit higher.

>woman is already dragging down the bro vibes
instant Z

>>715609470
Doing that clip 8+ hours in was crazy. That entire run was a rollercoaster

I will still imagine Rikku is naked under her pink armor even if I know the yellow is just the skin tight suit

>>715609572
How would you dress in a tropical, apocalyptic world? I wouldn't blame them for having to deal with strong heat and being fit from all the swimming and fighting. Now here, have a Rikku to keep the gay away.

>going to BWS

>>715609787
>That entire run was a rollercoaster
It really was, I thought I'd watch it for half an hour and then fuck off, but I ended up watching the entire thing through.

Shit did not feel like a nine hour run.

Bit rude of Tidus

>gets the backwards glitch
This run is blessed.

>>715609884
I wanna hold hands with Rikku while I gently kiss her on the cheek

>I want to rub Tidus' thing
Understandable.

I missed Kururin Squash because it was too early for me, will they put up the VOD on YouTube?

But I liked the oyster trials.

>>715610924
You could probably open the Youtube stream and scroll back to it.

>>715610924
You can rewind the Youtube stream back up to 12 hours.
>will they put up the VOD on YouTube?
Yes, at about a day or so delay.

>painted nails
NOOOOOOO

I'm glad GDQ was such a profound abomination of an event to compare and contrast with this one. It really feels like I'm in 2013 again.

>>715611106
I think he's just a metalhead, he's been the same guy for years now

Don't use this out of context

>>715611106
>>715611189
Or perhaps he was part of the Akatsuki.
Speaking of which, I NEVER see any Naruto game being ran in these marathons. Are they too long, boring or grueling to speedrun consistently?

>>715611342
I don't think boredom is a factor when it comes to these events, especially gdq

>>715611106
>>715611189
Also there's nothing wrong with taking care of your nails, even if it's just the clear stuff.

>>715611417
Then it's about time for someone to run that Naruto shit.

>>715611342
A lot of anime/manga tie-in games tend to be cheaper 3d fighters, which probably contributes to it

>>715611152
I think this run alone is better than all of SGDQ, I'm having a blast watching this couch

Legally, Tidus is entitled to both Yuna and Rikku since they're cousins
Lulu too since the shenanigans with him and Chappu.
You know what... Hand over Donna too for being a bitch. We're John Madden's chosen after-all

>>715611573
The couch made the FFIX relay they did last year really fun too.

>>715609884

Fierce heat has a way of just killing the libido. Unless your mind is coombrained, or they're not hiding their genitals, when it's super hot out you just stop caring as much.

I came prepared this year.

>>715611568
And the core content is the single player story/campaign, but yes, if the game is 100% cheap 3D arena fight, then you either cheese it unti your mind goes numb, or it's too inconsistent to break.

In subsection 3, amendment 5, line 80 of the US Constitution (Subsection 10, line 20 in the current EU variant.) The husband is entitled to the wife's immediate female family members if they have not been claimed by another party of if said party is deemed unfit.
It's one of the earliest known laws recorded in human history

FFX is THE ps2 game for me

yuna and tidus both look like they have down's syndrome

What the fuck, they're having fun?

Is that allowed?

>knowing the cutscenes from memory
yup, that's a bannin'

ten years. and three months. AGO!

>>715612406

When is fat qt?

>>715610406
I can guess Hamauzu made this track in a hurry due to its simplicity and some strange midi choices, but it shows how the best things are made without too much thought. The fully polished version he made for the HD Remaster just loses what makes it special

>>715612573
It's kino of the highest order. If you don't understand that, there's no helping you. Perish.

So much porn and art of Tifa, Aerith etc, yet I never see anything of Yuna. is it just that VII is that popular, or is Yuna not considered that attractive?

God I hope I'm still awake for the Jecht shot

>>715612647
She's got shaved armpits.

>>715612647
>looks like a potato

Might have something to do with it

>>715612573
It's one of the best games of all time. I would say objectively

>>715612617
define kino

If you told me in the early 2000s that dub voice acting will get worse, I would've called you a liar. To be so optimistic again

>>715612759
>define kino
final fantasy the tenth

oh hell yeah I'm in just in time for Jecht Shot

>>715612759
Has transcendent qualities hard to describe in words

>>715612647
Because she exists in the same game as Rikku and Lulu
Yuna is exceedingly boring, plain, and sometimes outright annoying

>>715612573
It's fun

>>715612787
if you told me in the early 2000's this would be the last final fantasy i'd give a fuck i would've called you a liar

>>715612859
Yuna's combination of plainness while having an incredibly important duty is exactly her charm

>>715612930
I have to wonder how Square Enix feels watching Expedition 33's phenomenal success after aborting Final Fantasy for 24 fucking years straight

>>715612859
Yeah but I'd fuck X-2 Yuna

Didnt like, hall after hall and a grindfest, still I finished it but i dont get why this one gets so much praise and then FFXIII got shitted on when it has pretty much the same structure

Why did they just stand there and not even try to run away

GET SINNED GET SINNED GET SINNED GET SINNED GET SINNED GET SINNED GET SINNED

>>715613046
This is the same company who decided that making a turn-based RPG was such a risk to the Final Fantasy brand that they spawned Bravely Default instead. They don't know how they got where they are anymore or what works.

>>715612787
Compare the voice acting between FFX and FFXVI, anon. Some things got worse, but some others got MUCH better.

>>715613081
X's corridors are connected to each other in a believable way and have varied pacing, while XIII's whisk you around the world and have the exact same pacing of battles and cutscenes throughout the game

>>715612930
They're never backing down and they'll just reuse turn-based for Dragon Quest and smaller franchises. If anything, I'm curious about what the old guard (the Gooch, Tetsu, Kitase etc) thinks about Clair Obscur.

>>715613279
I'd argue that the way FFX frames its story and characters also does a better job at getting players invested

>wake up
>8 hours left

>>715613102

Stop right there, goers!

>>715613978
Me too, except for Anima, and I got my ass handed to me by the rival summoner as a result, and the final fight was an absolute cakewalk consequently

>>715613807

6+ hour runs should be done in shifts. By about the 4th hour the runner usually can't provide good commentary while also paying attention to the game. Relays work best for these kinds of jarpig runs. Convince me it's not the case.

She became a sphere hunter, because Rikku shows here an old sphere with a recording of Shuyin which Yuna obviously mistakes for Tidus.

>>715614159
I guess that's what the fan arrangements are there for, though they're mostly just "what if with vocals" or a metal arrange

>>715614385
Soken is doing alright, but he's no Nobuo.

>>715614271
the flag should give you enough info but in case is not trans right!!!

>>715614256
I didn't and that fight filtered the fuck out of me the first time I played the game

Holy shit, someone with great fucking taste does actually exist

so what the fuck is wrong with their YT channel chat

>>715614220
>By about the 4th hour the runner usually can't provide good commentary while also paying attention to the game.
That's why you need a good couch

>>715614481
One of the simpelst ways to cheese that fight is to get every summon's overdrive prepped before the fight, and CAREFULLY summon them so he doesn't Banish them before they can use Overdrive (since he will IMMEDIATELY try to do so the second they're summoned).

>>715614294
That run was the rollercoaster to end all rollercoasters.

Run is borked...

I'm the best!

YOU CAN'T DO IT, KID

What is the locksmith and why does it matter that he missed it?

its over

run just got upgraded to let's play

>>715614536
This was peak comedy in 2012, appreciate it for what it is I guess

Runner is looking pretty worried lmao

TOLD YOU YOU COULDN'T DO IT

>>715614969
I think they said he forgot a Luck Sphere.

>>715615083
Ah, so why is it such a big deal?

>>715615083
can't he get another later?
or do they not drop from enemies and are only found in chests

>>715614652
https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/452013756/#q452019221

It might not be the same but you can still experience this little moment in time. From utter despair to pure elation.

>>715615198
He's out of lack now, Anon :^)

>>715615201
Luck Spheres do not drop from enemies. There is a limited number of them in the entire game.

>>715615254

Try again.

>>715615229
He had hair then...

Goer there, stop!

>>715615325
Sorry Anon, I went full SAAR, I swear it won't happen again.

>>715614294
>>715615229
At the risk of triggering that one anon, Metako sure fucking saved that run by taking over when Leonis was all for quitting, dude would have regretted it if he did walk.

Stop right there MIGGERS

SKINNNEEEEERRRRRR

>>715615229
>everyone celebrating and popping off for a run that went nearly 4h over estimate
Now that's the good shit

>>715615314
Oh damn
That's not good, was it the chest he passed by in the last place he was?

>STOP RIGHT THERE, BOERS
Is Tidus an honorary Brit?

Hnnnnnnnnghgghhhhwould

>>715615229
man this is so awesome to read. I see my posts there. What an exciting run.

>no pronouns to be seen
is this an ultra right chud event?

I don't know what they were thinking with Seymour's VA.

>>715615549
He ran to the chest, but got an encounter before it and forgot he didn't grab the chest.
According to the runner just now, someone's just messaged him a backup strat so he doesn't need to use a backup save.

>>715615487
That it even finished was a miracle, between the having to find and swap PSPs mid run, the tech issues, the game being deeply unforgiving, the fucking up some of his routing, it really was the last ditch try to kill the boss.

Wholesome

>>715615628
I can't even blame him for that, it happens to me too, a random encounter makes me completely forget what I was supposed to be doing
I'm glad there's a backup though

>>715615652
I mean, I've played tons of rpgs and still haven't found anything worse than the final stretch of FFIII. It's completely absurd in the amount of bullshit it has

I have but it's mostly stuff like the early Wizadry games that are in a class of their own for how you can just get fucked through no fault of your own.

FF3 is still really fucking high up there where it's nuts to even attempt to run it, let alone at a marathon.

Just checked the schedule. Oh no, a 6 hour Pokemon run?!

won't stop some anons bitching but still we eating good for long runs.

>>715615962
I can imagine it's rough for a speedrun, but for casual playthrough you've got all the time to prepare and grind if need be
FF3 remake is still rough, I'll give it that

>>715615890
The final stretch legitimately filtered me for two or three days.Thank fuck the PR version added the baby mode saves and removed capacity points

this setup looks great honestly, runners facing the crowd so we don't see the room, just a cozy corner with the couch.

>>715616589
Man, that fight as a kid was kicking my dick in but as an adult I feel like I just managed to mash through it

>>715616585
PS2 was a massive leap, same with FF9 -> FF10, though it was also the death of prerendered backgrounds

>>715616519
We could've used a Jinzo (or an entire deck of them) for the GDQ threads.
>>715616585
The game got a remaster but it sort of fucked up the lighting and some of the models. However, pre-HD era 3D Final Fantasy games were famous for being some of the best looking games in the market, thanks to both their cinematic focus and lack of real-time action.

>>715616647
yeah that's how I realized
>>715616675
for 15 years there's hardly any difference, just more polygons

>>715616585
Graphics peaked with Kingdom Hearts 2

God LULU IS SO FUCKING HOT IT'S UNREAL

just woke up and turned on the stream. instantly recognized our runner

>>715616993
Imagine just plunging your head down that cleavage.

>>715616738
It's still one of the hardest fights in the remaster, and it depends on difficulty level too. Managing Riku-Ansem's recovery moves (and your MP if you decide to use limits, Ars Arcanum helps quite a bit if you know how to use it) are key. Chernabog and the final fight have the potential to be even harder, but they're more mashing-friendly.

There's been a couple troons, but it's nowhere as bad as GDQ.

Some anons are still desperately rating things because they're hooked on it.

Got met yesterday I'm pretty sure

No fucking way he's 30...I'm 32 ffs

>>715618485
There's trans people and there's troons and they're not the same. GDQ is just troon central with non stop freak shows who turned their autogynephilia into a personality.

>>715617357
I want to shop this pic with Wakka but I think his hair is gonna be too big

Is that really what the Japanese think 35 year olds look like

>>715602048
JPRPGs are the pinnacle of speedrunning because it's all about perfecting your route and optimizing boss encounters, rather than abusing bullshit frame-perfect glitches that get you from the title screen to the final boss in 20 seconds.

>>715618752
I was greying before 35...

>>715618764
I mean, it depends. FF4 has that whole staircase glitch, in FF7 you can clip through to get to certain places early, and so on.

>>715618630
It's also a thing they decided on beforehand, it's not like it's a problem since it's a more relaxed run and she's a FFX runner too.

>>715618764
Considering the mother of all speedrunning games is super Metroid I am inclined to disagree. It's just different flavors, some games are heavily execution focused and skill focused, others are more about planning and strategy and optimizations. Both have their place.

here it comes

>>715618764
>rather than abusing bullshit frame-perfect glitches that get you from the title screen to the final boss in 20 seconds.
Stairs% is exactly this.

You need to be Japanese to understand this scene

kek

HA HA HA HA

kino

The scene that became the face of bad dubs even though it's on purpose.
Poor bastard

kino

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

He said the line!

AH HA HA HA HA

Goddamn, I tuned in just at the right time

This is good shit.

>>715619089
It makes me so mad because its what FFX is remembered for and has this reputation now and I'm an AKSHULLY ITS MEANT TO BE BADder

>>715617789

>>715618764

People often forget how huge Kalm skip and Cosmo skip are in the history of FFVII speedrunning.

>>715618750
Just do it like this except not shit

>>715619164
Some people just really want dubs to be bad

>>715619228
And isn't there now a straight up skip to the forgotten capital, which has the funny side effect of Aeris surviving?
That, and of course Yuffie skip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lfiTebewnc

>>715619228
Kalm is just a boring cutscene. But Cosmo Canyon skip should be illegal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOzM4ClFG1o

I hope this run stays comfy while I go to bed

>>715619089
>>715619164
To be extra fair though, the voice acting is pretty bad in FFX overall
But that's par for the course for games from those days
It wasn't until relatively recently that companies realized they can't just use devs for voice acting if they wanted to have impactful cutscenes

Any runs worth checking out until this FF let's play finishes?

AH HA HA HA HA HA

>>715618750
this is the best i could do

>>715619346
>And isn't there now a straight up skip to the forgotten capital, which has the funny side effect of Aeris surviving?
If that's the case, then best girl and all the schoolyard bullshitters who preached you could resurrect her have been (sorta) vindicated.

>>715613081
X has linear map design. XIII has linear everything including map design, but also including levelling, cut scenes (X has a few dialogue options, some alter the story), you can't back track in XIII and for the first half can't even choose who's in your party, even the weapon selection in XIII is linear, in X you can customize weapons with lots of abilities.

>>715619164
FFX is the beginning of the end for the FF series. The story is still good, the spehre grid is actually great, but the looks like lots of stuff (for example the monsters) are just copy/paste palette swaps, and getting rid of the overworld was a huge mistake. I've seen a let's play and thought it was a great game, then I tried playing it, and it wasn't very fun to play. It felt very linear and boring.

>>715619279
>>715619556
Based

>>715619525
Part of the reason for FFX voice acting also was that I think the dubbers weren't allowed to change the duration of the spoken lines, because being anything shorter or longer than JP dialogue caused problems?

>>715619604
Basically there's a bug associated with player hopping on and off a Chocobo, which when you manipulate the overworld memory correctly, lets you walk over the ocean all the way to forgotten capital. This basically skips disc 1. This skips the trigger for Aeris leaving your party, so she just sticks around even though you'll see her die and all.

>>>/wsg/5924630

>>715619525
I know that a big issue for Japanese games in the PS2 era was that they the mouth movements and cut scene length was tailored towards Japanese language, and some sentences in Japanese are longer or shorter than English. This mean when it came to the dub, sometimes the dub voice actors had to rush their lines in to fit the cut scene length. This is pretty obvious in FFX with shit like "I wanted to go to Zanarkand... withyunabymyside"

>>715618764
>rather than abusing bullshit frame-perfect glitches that get you from the title screen to the final boss in 20 seconds.
Like this you mean? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/648726557

>>715619741
As someone who grew up on ff6-9, I kept waiting for the moment when the world map fully opens up, and it didn't really click that it won't happen until I got in the al bhed airship and it was just a menu of level selections. I can't begin to express my disappointment.

>>715619863
SOVL

>>715619741
Palette swaps are par for the course in the FF series and many other jarpigs. The real disappointing thing is the lack of monster types some of the modern games had. FFXVI feels like there's barely a dozen distinct encounters.
>>715619810
That skip's bonkers, but as long as there's no Carry Armor skip, there's still the chance of wiping several hours in.

Did somebody say weeaboo?

>>715619810
>>715619874
That's a good point about lip sync - there are multiple reasons why voice acting, especially dubs, sucked in the PS2 era
It didn't really detract from my enjoyment too much, but maybe I'd be more critical now that we've seen so many examples of "doing it right" today

It's hard for me to look at FFX without nostalgia glasses

>>715620017
Same. Then there was XII, where every character except Balthier felt plain, or outright annoying like Ashe, and I thought that it couldn't get worse. Then came XIII...

>>715620295
XII kind of got the short end of the stick during development, so that's why it's the way it is.

>>715620210
That's a paddlin'

>racist horses

>>715620295
Balthier IS the leading man after all.

Isn't it like 2026 in Austrailia?

This entire game is just hallways with random encounters if you're lucky and cutscenes.

um actually it's 2/5ths. You're suppose to go down to the lowest possible fraction

>>715622137
And yet it's kino af

>>715622089
You're thinking of Japan

>>715622203
In Australia you go to the highest instead.

>>715622253
no

>>715622089
No, its 5202 in ausland dummie

>>715622137
Despite what you might think, your life is also a straight hallway. Determinism, fate, god's guidance, doesn't matter how you call it, you ain't got any real choices, you have no influence on your own life. You can't even sit down and NOT go down the hallway. You just do what you're supposed to do, straight line, no curves or crossroads.
FFX is quite a smart game in that regard.

>>715622961

>>715622765
Wrong. Every facet and factor in your life that led you to be here, on 4chan, in an australian speedrunning contest thread, determined that you will call me a faggot.
