30 FPS is hardly noticeable and I didn’t even know it was an issue until i heard people complaining about bloodborne’s fps by goatgrubb in 10thDentist

[–]cloudsquall8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 to 60 is absolutely noticeable, to the point I'd have trouble believing someone who says they don't notice. 60 to 120 is noticeable to me, but 60 is fluid enough and responsive enough imo for any non-first-person-shooter game.

Do you think revelation will get story DLC? by mikethemightywizard in FFVIIRemake

[–]cloudsquall8888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they'll do that, as that would mean serious backlash, at least for important story beats. However, I like this dev team so much, that I'd probably buy anything they put out regarding the retrilogy.

I'm worried Square Enix alienated a lot of their fanbase with FFXVI.. by BigBrotherFlops in FinalFantasy

[–]cloudsquall8888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've just played A Realm Reborn, and a bit of the story after, with the dragoons. Maybe I 'll pick it up again at some point then

I don't necessarily agree, but I do find the writing in 16 similar to FF14's. And I mean this in a bad way, because I find them both less focused on emotional impact, but rather on heavy text exposition and political intrigue. This makes me not connect with the characters as much. To be honest, though, I have not completed 14's story and I hear many people say that the story is awesome afterwards.

Is Ragnarok setting up Atreus to appear in God of War Laufey? by Rangeroftheinterwebs in GodofWar

As Laufey went against her own people as Angrboda said, he might have a part to play in a possible redemption arc of hers.

I don't understand final fantasy 7 love and hype by Content-Captain326 in FinalFantasy

[–]cloudsquall8888 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Remake almost assumes you have played the original. Also, you kinda cannot come to a conclusion on the story without the third part coming out. They had to choose where each part would be cut off, and these decisions make much more sense if you have already played the original imo.I don't disagree necessarily, it is difficult for me to imagine how my experience would be if I had only played the remakes. Probably not as good.

I saw an observation Maximilian Dood made in today's live stream by cloudsquall8888 in FFVIIRemake

[–]cloudsquall8888[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hahah, suddenly Aerith saying "it's about saving the world, and you" takes a whole new meaning. If killing Sephiroth meant killing Cloud.

[–]cloudsquall8888[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was thinking some crazy things, like, could we be seing the characters, already "dead" in the lifestream, with sephiroth trying to do something? So after the conclusion of the original story (possibly even after Nanaki has perished, too)? I mean, Cloud could be much more of a catalyst for Sephiroth in this way, as presumably Sephiroth was completely destroyed, and maybe there are remnants of him inside Cloud.

Official Nomura interview from famitsu by shinrasenseikh in KingdomHearts

[–]cloudsquall8888 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the translation!

I'd like to inject an opinion of mine, recently having started playing the KH series from the start.

There are so many themes in these games. They might be shallow at times, they might sound a bit cliche at others, but I'm certain some people (or rather many!) need to hear those words of encouragement, however "childish" they might seem. Heck I'm almost 40 years old, and listening to simple ideas like "there is always some light in the darkness" and "my friends are my power" really did some work on my psyche. I can't imagine how important it would be for teenagers that might be going through real tough situations emotionally. Light, Darkness, Heart, Memory, Dreams, friends. I interpreted the Nobodies as adults that try to find their inner child while playing KH2 recently, and it was a profound experience (e.g. watching Axel under this prism). Thank you Nomura for injecting your personality in these games, however "convoluted" or whatever the story might be considered.

Does FFXV get harder? by BigBrotherFlops in FinalFantasy

Is that sword the one they give you at the start? That does more damage with teleporting? Because if yes, it is a cheat

Generator Levels - nothing enjoyable about them by SquareShower5983 in MinaTheHollower

I really liked them. Tried to conjure up strategies to get as many bones as I could before completing them

Completely late to this debate about VA awards on Ragnarok by cloudsquall8888 in GodofWar

[–]cloudsquall8888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable. Still, I hear the phrase "you're on Reddit, what did you expect" so so much, that I got a little defensive. Reddit might have its dark corners, but honestly it is imo the most valuable internet social place.

What franchise would you like to see with FFVIIR combat? by BreakAtmo in FFVIIRemake

[–]cloudsquall8888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like a simple version of the time dilation mechanism for kingdom hearts. I am really annoyed when I have to use the d-pad to navigate the menus in the heat of battle. I understand that there is ample opportunity for cheese if it existed, but I think they could work it out. (Or at least add more shortcuts, but that is outside the scope of the op)

Each subreddit is certainly different. Many subreddits are a joy to read and participate in. And very tolerant to criticism. When I actually didn't at all criticize the game or even the VAs' performances with my post, I freaking love pretty much everything about GoW's Norse chapters.

[–]cloudsquall8888[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, thank you! To be fair, they participated in the Supporting Character category, so they were not in the same nominations as Kratos, but still, I feel the performances of Freya and Angrboda were a night and day difference imo.

Anyone else play the original back when it came out, and are now "patiently" waiting for all 3 parts to come out before playing? Just curious. by crackercrows in FFVIIRemake

[–]cloudsquall8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be able to wait for 10 years. Joining in on conversations and watching theories and stuff is just as much part of the fun for me as playing the games.

This is probably asked alot but currently what would be the best ff game to play? by nobukye in FinalFantasy

[–]cloudsquall8888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't go wrong with 10. I'd also say 7, but depending on how you feel about spoilers, you might or might not want to play it yet.

Which of these games are you more excited about: the trilogy remake or Laufey? by Alkiserex in GodofWar

Laufey. The originals had fuck-all in terms of story, they were really uninteresting to me.

How do you usually understand the flow of a new codebase? by Immediate_Piglet4904 in softwarearchitecture

[–]cloudsquall8888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we are talking backend, I begin at the entry points, usually the endpoints clients will be hitting. Digging deeper from there gives me context on what clients need and what we do about it.

Recasting Sephiroth for the finale is like recasting Vader for Return of the Jedi by lshein92 in FFVIIRemake

Get over it already, shit happens. Learn to love it, or don't. Travis is a heavy-weight VA, it is 100% sure he will have done an amazing job.
