Pet peeves: The return (Part 2)

I will give 10 one shiny medal.

Great character art.

fun fact: you can break the two guards riddle by killing one and asking the other if the corpse is dead

are you sure you wish to continue with this analogy :V

not sure murder is in the spirit of the riddle

I play a cutscene rendered by an external studio that is so full of grand visuals and smothering orchestral scores that you forget everything about that one trick and all you can think of is how awesome that cinematic you watched was.

the only spirit in this riddle will be one of the guards after it leaves their body

Ooooooor for the less violent here;

Ask the guards what the other one would say and then take the opposite door.

I see you are a wizard and elly is a fellow barbarian

There are no doors.

There’s just a dented copy of FF10 on the ground.

That said.
I do not like the long cinematics. Stop it with the long cinematics.
The only thing that will happen is me falling asleep. So plz stop.

If it works it’s not stupid!

I don’t quite remember when but I’m fairly certain they made skippable and pausable cutscenes a standard in FF as of…12? It might’ve been 13, but I do think 10 was the last mainline (single player) FF where they weren’t skippable.

X-2 had skippable cutscenes iirc however they baited you by making it so your completion % might be nerfed if you skip a cutscene, so if you want that perfect ending you HAVE to watch everything. Completionists really do have to completionist.

Orrr
Ooooorrr
they could just… not make them so long. :I
-gremlin noises-

Nobody feed Blythan past midnight or spill water on them!

imagine complaining about long cutscenes in final fantasy when metal gear solid exists

Excuse you, I can feed and water myself!

imagine me playing MGS
you have to because I’m not actually going to do so

reality can be whatever i want it to be

MGS4’s final cinematic sequence is ~75 minutes long iirc? Got a save point mid cinematic in case you need to come back later. Very thoughtful.

Don’t ruin my Gremlins reference!

i like that wakka is voiced by bender bending rodriguez putting on a funny accent

a twitch staff member once tried to chew out a streamer because at the time Twitch was only for gaming

the streamer was playing MGS
