why do boomers glaze this shit?

It's all they had.

>>718277642 (OP)
I remember playing this on a tv even smaller than this when I was 10.
I was thinking about it all day during school. I couldn't even speak English but I beat the game. I sorta made up the story in my mind as I went along. All these years later I realize I was sorta close on the general plot

>>718277886
pretty much this, when talking about the impoverished families
a budget $20 rpg was a hot commodity when that was the realm of pc games and $80 snes/genesis rpg carts

FF7? Because it's a masterpiece
CRTs? Because good games were meant to be seen from a CRT
Other dumb questions?

it was the first real movie game and first real aaa game, there was a brief period of time where final fantasy was the biggest normalfag series because normalfags are suckers for movie games and graphics. the marketing legitimately played up the movie game angle.

>2 years was considered an insanely long production time in 1997
crazy
now 5 years is the minimum for a sequel that reuses assets from the previous game

>>718278214
>FF7
>Movie game
Fuck yes i love playing the gold saucer in my movie game

Boomer here. What does "glaze" mean in this context?

there was a time when moviegames were special and not the norm

>>718278093
>FF7? Because it's a masterpiece
baby's first story.

>>718278409
Now they waste a ton of time making hyper realistic cutscenes no one gives a shit about

>>718278453
to praise it, or act like it's really good

>>718278495
That would be FF4

>>718277642 (OP)
it was their first ff. its basically just rehashed ff6 with shittier story and characters, but most didnt play 6.

>>718278686
Kefka > Sephiroth and ok, but what character from 6 is supposed to be Cloud? Terra is very different

>>718278686
It's nothing like 6

>>718278409
even the toonami review was mentioning 30 minutes of fmvs, which is nothing now but at the time that was crazy.

Where's the insight/dunk? zoomertrannys are going to glaze whatever slope they played first in 2010 as the best thing ever when they're 40.

I remember seeing this live... god I'm so old.

>Why do zoomers shribby this glackygloo?
Zoomers will see this shit written about them by alphas and betas in due course and think they never said anything so retarded about their elders. Always the same, nothing ever changes.

i have no idea what that means

Kill yourself

>>718277642 (OP)
Back in my day, "glaze" meant to bust a nut on something. What the fuck went wrong that it has evolved into a compliment?

>>718281951
I think zoomies like sperm or something.

>>718277642 (OP)
they like the screen door effect but get pissy if someone takes a pic of a screen with their phone

Unless you're RGG, in which case you sweatshop it within a year each year.

The same Mr. Libido(-san) animation has been in ten games running over the course of like 15 years.

Hating popular things doesn't actually make you quirky and unique.

Is it even possible to enjoy RPGs as an adult? The older i get the more i want to play vidya just for gameplay. The older i get the less i can get immersed in a story. That goes for television movies and books too. I feel like the ability to enjoy those things is a hallmark of youth. Suspension of disbelief becomes nigh impossible as one reaches maturity

>>718277981
FF7 cost me $69.99 in 1997.

>>718282368
>Is it even possible to enjoy RPGs as an adult?
Switch to porn RPGs and yes, it is possible.

>>718282297
Repeating this tired sentiment doesn't make popularity a measure of quality.

>>718277642 (OP)
zoomers don't even understand the concept, that those games allowed for a sense of grandiosity, despite being polygonal blobs and glorified matte backdrops. Which was an evolution from pixel blobs which also allowed for a grandiose adventure.
Zoomers have no baseline for the experience of adventure.

>>718278453
I assume it means "cum over".

>>718282368
you're just depressed anon.

>>718282368
>Is it even possible to enjoy RPGs as an adult? The older i get the more i want to play vidya just for gameplay.
I've vowed to never play a turn based RPG ever again. The "gameplay" isn't challenging, the puzzles are probably lame, and the story is always stupid.

>>718282368
>I feel like the ability to enjoy those things is a hallmark of youth.
tolkien wrote his books as an old man, much like a lot of other famous fiction authors.

>>718277642 (OP)
because it was made in the 90s and still shits all over the sterile tranime demake.

>>718282368
The older I get the shittier my reflexes become so it's the opposite, action games feel like a chore now.

we were much poorer back then, most of the US was still rural, playstation wa one of the things that felt so new and refreshing

I just saved you from Sephiroth

Novelty and accessibility.
Novelty:
Early 3D. It was Mario-64 levels of mindblowing at the time. Up there with OoT in terms of being a mediocre (by today's standards) game that was lauded because it was the first time many had seen 3D in action. Lots of Final Fantasy nerds buying a playstation just to play it because previously FF had been a Nintendo franchise.
The setting. Up until that point Final Fantasy had been medieval (knights, swords, armor, dragons) which at the time was a tired trope. FF7 is cyberpunk.
The FMV (Full Motion Video) cut-scenes were a first for most console kiddies. Lots of PC games had them but most console games didn't. Impressive at the time and there's a whole lot of them.
Accessibility:
PC's at the time were an arcane magic box that only the super nerds could commune with. It wasn't easy getting a game to run on a PC. You had to have a compatible video card, sound card and OS. Consoles were much easier in comparison, plug it into your TV and put the disc in, EZ.
CRT TV's were getting cheaper, around this time "flatscreens" were becoming the latest and greatest. This meant CRT's were getting more affordable because you could get one second hand as somebody upgraded to a flatscreen.

/v/ told me $70 games was a new thing.

>>718278450
Just because games are even more movie-like now doesn't mean FF7 wasn't THE movie game of its time.

Niggas like you that only know the 90s via youtube videos made by zoomers who looked up wikipedia pages seriously think 3D games didn't exist until Zelda and FF7 lmao

they don't, they glaze this

>>718277642 (OP)
>glaze
"Glaze?" As in, "gloss-over/dismiss?" Or "decorate?" Or "fill in the gaps?"
What are you talking about???

>>718284827
pretty sure glaze means to cum all over

>>718282440
the times before msrp were wild when a store could just decide its own price and you'd have to actually go check or call (landline) other stores to not get ripped off

zoomers grew up with gta , cod, and fortnite. pretty sad to think aboot

>>718285076
Synonymous with "highly praise" or "intesely favor."
I wonder if some AI spellchecking program offered this word intead of being an actual encyclopedia and offering better, more erudite examples.

>>718284610
>seriously think 3D games didn't exist until Zelda and FF7
I specifically mentioned that it was only novel to console kiddies.
>Niggas
You could work on your reading comprehension, my melanoid friend.
>lmao

>>718285391
I more meant that the root of the idiom is from "I glazed her last night," aka I coated her face in cum, which I suppose has some sort of "high praise" in it. Yes, colloquially it means highly praise.

I used it in a work context the other day and I have been thinking if it was wrong to use it given the sexual connotation.

>>718283886
Man ChatGPT is stupid as shit

>>718285796
I can answer your pondering; yes. For exactly that reason. Being "polite" is a very real social construct and has genuine value to regulate behavior.

>>718277642 (OP)
Old games that were meant for those kinds of TVs look better on them than they do on modern high res screens. That's about it.

>>718277642 (OP)
Babby's first JRPG, Chrono Trigger and FF6 are the greatest JRPGs but PlayStation owners wouldn't know even when FF6 was released on psx later on.

>>718282368
Sure it's possible, why wouldn't it be?
>Suspension of disbelief becomes nigh impossible as one reaches maturity
I think that's just depression or some shit, not a sign of maturity.

>>718277642 (OP)
The crt or ff7? I didnt even play ff7 on launch since I was from the ps2 generation ( played it very recently along with the remakes ) and I can tell the game is truly legendary. The mako reactor opening soundtrack gives me goosebumps

Glaze means "to suck the dick of", referencing the saliva left on the penis of the one receiving felatio. Colloquially, it can mean both "to highly praise", or "to constantly nag" (compared with "dick-riding").

>1, 2 BUCKLE MY SHOE
wait what?

>>718287089
never, ever heard "glaze" as suck the dick of

>>718287254
It's used interchangably with "dick ridin". I hear it from kids day in and day out.

>What the fuck went wrong that it has evolved into a compliment?
It's not a compliment. It's the exact opposite. When you say someone is "glazing", it's meant to be derisive.

Had some great background renders and the music was top tier, really felt like an adventure as well. There are aspects that haven't aged the best but most people are willing to like look past that because of its age

>>718283797
Nah the idiot is playing in 50hz, I can tell because the TV is Bush branded. Very common brand in the UK, typically these sets are mono Daewoo rebrands, on the other hand they all do support RGB through the SCART socket.

>>718294418
True enough, though the black parts shouldn't be glowing either, brightness it too high

>>718278686
Played all mainlines, in the end VII still is my GOAT. In general too, but I need to play a lot more games. Really hoped for IX to do it but didn't quite get there so next I'm setting my hopes on Xenogears, though who knows maybe some DQ or Zelda game I play soon might surprise me (doubt).
