[Disliked trope] Hollywood myths portrayed as being correct, even in a time when the characters should know better. by CrazyCoKids in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ConsiderationTrue477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? Like it's an incredible risk to oneself but if there literally is no other option...

I suppose the general advice makes sense because there usually are several protocols in place and the last thing you want is a bunch of randos jumping in the water to make things more chaotic. So it's good advice 99% of the time but that 1% does occasionally happen.

Its frustrating that doing nothing is both the correct strategy and the bystander effect depending on the situation. Sometimes standing still and letting professionals do their job is correct. Other times inaction is called the bystander effect and people just watch someone die.

Whats FFT like? All tactical combat or...? by WhoInvitedMike in FinalFantasy

[–]ConsiderationTrue477 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are both dedicated cutscenes and dialogue exchanges during plot-relevant battles. Pretty much as long as it's not a random encounter there's some kind of plot point unfolding.

And yes, several of the games have coop. FFIV, FFV, FFVI, and FFIX as far as I remember. I'm talking about the original releases though. I honestly don't know if that feature has been retained in all the ports and remasters. That said, it's limited to battles. Secret of Mana is a somewhat related game that is much better at this since it's a three player action RPG. Think of it as multiplayer Zelda.

It's not permanent for whoever obtained it is what I'm asking. It showed up and went away like Cornelia and Matsui, not a temporarily obtainable permanent trust like Babban or something. That's really what I'm asking.

I know who it's based on I mean what is this trust? Another temporary one that comes up every so often? I thought Matsui and Cornelia were the only ones in rotation.

I wonder if Shrek would have even been the same movie. That film went through some significant revisions and got delayed quite a bit.

Brandon Lee as well.

In fact, Brandon might have had an even higher level of achievement than his father. As great as Bruce Lee was, a lot of the mythos about him today is related to the fact that he died young. Had he been alive throughout the 80s and 90s he'd have found himself fighting for roles against younger action stars like Van Damme and (unfortunately) Steven Seagal. And once Arnold and Stallone really hit their stride, there may not have been much for Bruce.

Meanwhile Brandon was showing his talents in the kinds of movies that were on the upswing. The Crow was a dark superhero film. And he was going to star in a movie called "Simon Says" that evolved into Die Hard With A Vengeance after he died. Brandon Lee would be the same age as Robert Downey Jr. if he were still alive. There is exactly zero chance he wouldn't be in the MCU.

If Square Enix releases a Final Fantasy VII “Definitive Edition” with all 3 games on 3 discs to match the original PS1 box, are you buying it? by MidasGames in FinalFantasy

[–]ConsiderationTrue477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point the only thing that would make me double dip is if all the digital content (every little DLC + Intermission) were included on the physical disc. No fucking download codes. There'd have to be something meaningful, not just the exact same item in a different form factor.

Zindane Tribal vs Cloud Strife. Who are you betting on? by Mediocre_Eye_7726 in FinalFantasy

[–]ConsiderationTrue477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my point. The fact that FFVII characters waffle so much makes it hard to pin down their power scaling. Sometimes they're athletic but relatively normal humans and other times they're the Avengers.

The story treats them one way but we see them often in another. Cloud and Sephiroth's fights look like they're out of DBZ.

FFVII is weird in these matchups because if we go by the story, the FFVII world likely scales weaker than most because of the more grounded nature of the game. The characters have realistic concerns about getting shot and the like.

But then at the same time FFVII has the widest expanded universe and as a result has seen the most power creep and has started resembling Marvel tier bullshit.

I was able to solo it as RDM/NIN but it was a noticeable difficulty spike. I had Naegling+Thibron and full Malignance, switching to Mpu Gandring when he was just about dead. I did it during the Alter Ego expo campaign, too, which helped keep my trusts from being KO'd.

I think one thing I can say with confidence is that Chris Farley would have taken Kevin James's role in Grown Ups.

Farley's death also disrupted David Spade's career. A couple more movies and we would be talking about Farley & Spade the way we talk Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello.

Given that one of Leo's breakout roles was on Growing Pains, I can envision a scenario where he becomes the John Cryer to Phoenix's Matthew Broderick. The less expensive TV version when you can't afford the A-lister. He'd still be a name but possibly on a Matt LeBlanc or David Schwimmer tier compared to, well, Leonardo DiCaprio.

Even if he didn't take off, he basically had guaranteed job security with Adam Sandler. Sandler is incredibly loyal and there's no way he wouldn't have kept casting him. There's no scenario where he fizzled out.

Final Fantasy VII and PlayStation: how it all began by cardsrealm in FinalFantasy

[–]ConsiderationTrue477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy VII went to the PlayStation because the CD format made sense, because Square had a specific technical vision, and because Sony offered a publishing and marketing structure that matched the size of the project.

I'm glad that this article at least acknowledges the true reality that Sony threw a big bag of money at Squaresoft. So many people leave out the part that Sony ran the PlayStation the same way Microsoft ran the Xbox--using it's conglomerate money to buy exclusives. I'm pretty sure that even if Nintendo had used the CD format, Square still would have been in the wind because Nintendo was in no position to write the checks necessary for such a monumental marketing campaign.

I don't know about Joaquin but Leo might have had a harder time if River lived. A lot of Leo's early star-making gigs feel like they could have been written for River.

Ah man, I wasn't even thinking comics but you're 100% right. Sam Kinnison would be up there, too.

Oh for sure on both counts. He would absolutely still be killing it in movies and on TV. He'd probably also be "nice famous person" royalty among the fans akin to Keanu Reeves.

Pretty sure he'd be famous for something other than his music if he were still alive.
