Team N64’s argument: that the n64 is famous for multiple groundbreaking titles is totally valid. Team Ps1’s point that the ps1 had more good games and better shovelware is right too

Yes. N64 and PS1 were the best reasons to be an idort out of probably any generation. But I can see why someone would go with either one if they had to choose.

Consoles are like Slurpees. They're all made of the same stuff: crushed ice, club soda, some Kool-Aid mix. And they're all equally delicious.

Saturn fans on suicide watch. Dreamcast fans: "But we had Shenmue! And a Sonic game! And... something else, maybe..."

No great loss.


The inventor of QTEs, thanks for that.


Arcade ports! Some good, some bad. Others that spring to mind are Jet Grind Radio, Grandia II and Skies of Arcadia.

Nothing to justify buying the console. Sega chased off all their developers by then. Saturn killed them and EA was the gravedigger.

Jaguar fans:

Just kidding, those don't exist.

To drag this back on topic: Everybody, what are your ideas for what the FF game for the 64 could of been? I know they had a screenshot or two of Celes, Locke, and Shadow fighting some rock creature, but outside of that I've never heard anything.

Those screenshots were just taken from a demo Square put together and wasn’t meant to really showcase anything they were actually working on. The Final Fantasy VII we know was the Final Fantasy VII they were working on when they decided to go with the PlayStation.

Jecht lived only for himself, so him becoming the Fayth is cathartic for him.

It takes Tidus a while to accept that Jecht had a redemption arc. Part of him thinks Jecht got his just desserts. The other part takes it as a personal affront that Yu Yevon made Jecht do these things.

Real question tho: was Jecht Shuyin’s father? Didn’t that business predate Sin?

I did read an interesting theory: "Dream Zanarkand" is just that, a strange representation of reality. In the Dream, things don't work the way they did in the real world. Tidus isn't a solider there, since Zanarkand would have lost the war to Bevelle.

This version is a mirror of the city at the height of its power, basically a utopia. Hence why summoners are not a thing there. (Aeons are tools of War.) The Fayth appear to have only summoned the good bits of the city from their memory; the fun and the nightlife, not the politics.

Does FFX even have a plot? All I know is there's this evil insect thing called Sin that shows up every so often to destroy things unless there's a human sacrifice or something like that.
 
Sin is clearly more of a whale thing. Vegnagun is a bug.

can’t say I am surprised Shuyin makes no sense. The Dream of the Fayth basically means none of it has to make sense or be discernible.

Sportsball player's city is destroyed by a creature named Sin, which is the FF equivalent of Godzilla if he was a whale/giant space flea and he ends up being taken into the future. While trying to find a way home, Sportsball player discovers Sin is still rampaging and that they have to find a way to defeat Sin and those who have been exploiting Sin's rampages to keep control over society.

The turning point is Yuna going off the reservation.

When Jecht first arrives on Spira, he is laughed at.

Well, this sly dog has a trick up his sleeve: the ability to turn into a giant mutant.

You know what, as bad as thing are, just be glad that the Final Fantasy 13 universe thing never came to pass which tied all the bullshit games together.

The fact that Type Zero never got a sequel is a good thing because holy shit that gay ass lore. There would be a cult surrounding lighting in universe far into the future that becomes evil and lightning needs to go to the future to fight the evil cult who don't believe it's her but then a cult surrounding her arises when she's int he future and that's the good cult. But then she has to undo everything by killing herself in a future where she's already dead starting the story back at the start of Final Fantasy 13. And She needs they 17 people to act as spears to intentionally kill her because she can't just neck herself so it's gotta be really matriculate assisted suicide so all the kids would be GODLSAYERS FORCED AGAINST THEIR WILL and then once they kill her they get a fragment and they become demigods who go off and make other mirror universe.

Literally be glad that Final Fantasy 15 killed this shit by being violently shat out unfinished.

Wouldn’t that be Aeris? Granted it was more aesthetic and conflated with Mother Earth a lot.

The Lucifer allegory is obvious, but the Jesus stuff is thinly-sketched. She likes church so much! 🙏
