Nothing in video games can top this scene.

Personally, the dommy mommy shit going on in the sequel was better.

For me it's Neverending Story, The Indian in the Cupboard and Small Soldiers. And Jumanji 1995.

Get the fuck out my thread fucking pussy they're statues.

>>725408639 (OP)
In what way? The music? The build up? Or just the act of running between two statues? I can name scenes which match it. Because this scene influenced a ton of games. From Final Fantasy III to Link to the Past and so on.

Ocarina of Time felt like this in 1998

>>725408639 (OP)
The Southern Oracle was a great scene, I agree. But for me, it's when Atreyu spoke to Rockbiter near the end, after he'd failed to save his friends. That always gets me. Holy shit. Actual pain just remembering it.

>>725410385
I know it's a normie take but watching the horse drown in quicksand fucked me up

>>725408639 (OP)
>just believe in yourself!
Many such cases.

>>725410483
Same. The kid who played Atreyu was really good at conveying the anguish of losing his friend.

Where in ff?

>>725409997
Statues of what?

>>725411062
Big deer butt

remember when kids movies had tits in them? wild.

>>725410951
Final Fantasy III. The biggest influence is the music. But there's also some call backs to Never-Ending story in some events in the game. Most FF games take heavy inspiration from western film. And everyone knows about Star Wars and Game of Thrones and stuff. But Final Fantasy III was a love letter to Never-Ending Story.

>>725411740
when you say III, do you mean III or do you mean VI?

>>725411803
The actual Final Fantasy III. The one where the big baddie is literally "a cloud of darkness trying to turn the world into nothing." And you can work backwards from there to see the influences from Never-Ending Story.

FF6 is Star Wars.

>Nothing in video games can top this scene.
The function of a movie is to be seen.

A game fundamentally can not achieve that scene, or any scene, from the Neverending Story or really any movie. Imagine if there was the ability to freely climb or fly on Falcor in the game; you could approach that area from the wrong location or direction, and end up damaging the visual impact by changing the viewing angle, or simply missing the scripted sequence entirely by flying over/beyond it.

The function of a game is to be played.
The best you can get to that sort of experience through gameplay is by immersive simulators like Thief 1: The Dark Project / Thief 2: The Metal Age. Where the experience is depending on the gameplay, and putting yourself in the position the actor of the movie would be in, were they actually there. Not some disembodied third-person camera experiencing the world through curated and directed visuals.

>>725412150
ok, that makes me less confused. i def couldn't remember any Neverending Story references in VI. i've never played all the way through III.
but is there a stronger connection than
>evil force wants to destroy everything
?
cuz that's pretty goddamn common, anon.
is there an Auryn equivalent? a Childlike Empress? a luck dragon? do you watch a horse drown in a swamp? can you point to any tracks that sound like Neverending Story songs?

>>725412659
>is there an Auryn equivalent? a Childlike Empress? a luck dragon?
There's a child king and a sage who is also a dragon. But those aren't really direct connections. It's more the overall tone and feel of the game.
>can you point to any tracks that sound like Neverending Story songs?
The most obvious one is the airship theme. Which variations have been used over many other FF games. But started in FFIII.

There's some other songs around the game that have that same kind of symphonic/synth style. Which Uematsu is famous for in many games. But again, a lot of those things started in FFIII. Whereas in FF1 and 2 the music takes on more of a Baroque style, influenced by his mentor Sugiyama and Dragon Quest. FFIII is when he started really finding his own voice (and taking inspiration from a lot of western artists).

This scene has lived rent free in my head since childhood.
>>725410179
All of it, the starry black sky, the strip of blue horizon forming the magical backdrop, the exaggerated glow from the sphinxes themselves, the fakeness produced by the 80s effects, the knight, Doldinger's score. The fact that it's set 10000 miles from everything else, in an irreal dimension that's experiencing oblivion.
It's the moment Bastian starts influencing the narrative from the beyond, linking his will to the fate of Fantasia, saving Atreyu from certain death. The whole thing feels like a fever dream, a reenactment of some secret esoteric ritual, tickling the primordial, mythopoetic corner of human consciousness. Surreal, disturbing, grand. It's just glorious man

>>725408639 (OP)
Final Fantasy 12 always makes me think of Neverending story

>>725408639 (OP)
it was already topped by final fantasy 7's aerith death

A literal poison swamp
Now, hold on.
That poisons your emotions...
With sadness.

damn, a Souslike Neverending Story game DOES sound pretty dope...

>>725414318
That's not even a good scene within the FF series. Let alone all of JRPGs. It's built up terribly in terms of tone and then the scene construction isn't that great either. Hence why every FF7 sequel/remake completely redid it. The only good thing about it is the song.

Only WOMEN may pass

>>725410592
This game did a great job of balancing the stakes and when you were a chump vs a golden god. Like when you kept fighting the no-eyes lady and she kept getting weaker as you were stronger, and the last fight with her she's just a weak demoness in a corner of a room.

>>725408639 (OP)
wasnt there an awful sequel to this or did I imagine that?

>>725418453
Yes. There's a Never-Ending Story 2. Same kind of tone and style as Return to Oz.

>>725418515
I liked return to oz, and speaking of that movie and FF its obvious it inspired a bunch of enemies.

>>725409971
no Labrynth?

>>725414804
I tried but I just couldnt finish it

This scene was so damn intense when I saw it as a kid!

Nice tits are awesome to look at, but I would rather look at no tits than have to see bad tits.

>>725418453
>wasnt there an awful sequel to this or did I imagine that?
Yes, but it wasn't awful. It has one of the hottest evil women ever to grace cinema.

>>725408639 (OP)
>called never ending story
>it ends
fucking false advertisements

It's really unfortunate what the movie did to the source material.
By the time it's over, there's absolutely no fucking way to adapt the rest of the book.
Yes, what they DID adapt, was awesome aesthetically. No one argues that.
But there's no way to summarize just how much they shat the bed, with what they didn't adapt at all.

This was my favorite movie, and I'm saying this.
I read the book (well, audiobook, while driving) earlier this year.

>>725421252
That's it, I'm finally ordering it

>>725418453
>>725418515
Neverending Story 2 is good.
it's 3 that's terrible.

>>725418453
Never Ending Story 2 is actually really good. Different vibe than the first movie but sitll good. Never Ending 3 is when it shits the bed. There was also an animated TV series that sucked ass.

>>725421449
Hello it's me again ( >>725421252 )
It was only after the book that I was able to forgive what Neverending Story II did. They were handed a complete scrap-pile of lore. There was no way to properly sequel it. They did the absolute best they could, in order to resemble the other half.

However.
Those casting choices were fucking weak. Dogshit in some cases.

>>725421723
Well yes but you're omitting how dodgy they were about it. She got movie offers where there were nude scenes.
I think in the 80s, they were PEAK gargoyle about this shit.

This track from V always reminded me of the main theme

>>725422037
Yup. A lot of the flying themes seem to be influenced by flight from Never-Ending Story. The one I hear the most is people compare FF9s to Atraeu's Flight. But I think FF3 and 5 sound closer.

>>725421926
>the year is 1917, and smack in the middle of that redlight area, bubblin' with sin, smoke and jazz, grows a female child raised on a diet of cock money

You are looking at the absolute pinnacle of hubris.
Jews thought they were invincible at this point in time.

>>725408639 (OP)
If you had a test like this in a vidya, how would the player prove they have no fear and are pure of heart?

>>725422962
They thought they were all the way back in the 1920s. And still do. But it's not just "them." It's any group who gets "in" the industry. The black lesbians and the LGBT shemales and everyone else. They all think they're on the top of the totem pole. Until they're not.

>>725423250
Many RPGs have done it. It's usually something stupid like "character stands in front of a mirror and then fights a copy of themselves."

>>725423336
Okay sure.
No one takes it to the level that they do, though.
Look at this prostration.

What, nude?
How in the fuck, then

>>725423930
>What, nude?

Yep. It went to court. For some reason the judge ruled that it had artistic merit and wasn't child pornography. So technically I guess the pictures are legal; but yeah, nude 10 year old in Playboy decked out in makeup and lingerie. Hugh Hefner was a dirty bastard.
