Aerith dying

Cool, as I was coming here I thought to myself "I wonder if we're going to get a Celes attempted suicide repost today." You did not disappoint.

>>1482931

Terranigma's ending...

Deionarra's sensory stone in PS:T.

Also the Transcendence victory in SMAC.

I would feel sad for her suicide, but like most things in the World of Ruin.
It's utterly shit.

>Lavitz Dying

Years later, it's still hard to bring myself to play the game to and past that part.

Here we go again.
The typical anon who only played FF6, Chrono Trigger and Earthbound.

Tenchu 2 has a very sad history, but the ending... Oh god, all the endings. ;_;

Beating Metal Slug without dying for the first time.

Name a fanbase that is more obsessive, pretentious and irate than the FFVI fanbase.

>>1483640
Final Fantasy VII fans are way worse, at least Final Fantasy VI fans didn't start a cult

http://www.demon-sushi.com/warning/

>>1482931
god... I love that scene. did they cut it out of the later ports? I just got the IOS version, and they changed a lot

>>1483640

FFVII fans are all of the traits you listed but roughly over 9000% worse. And to add insult to injury, FFVII is a pretty mediocre game. It does not hold up nearly as well as FFIV and VI.

>>1484146
I've never met one of these supposed people. Meanwhile you don't even have leave this board to find shrieking FF6 fanboys.

>>1484135
>>1484146
The worst thing about FF7 fans is they think FF7 is good.

lol

>>1483640
FFVI's fanbase is alright, it got such a devoted community for a reason.

FF7 was riding the western anime hype train, and had a hip, "cool with the kids" protagonist with hot babes

Hey guys, you wanna know something cool I just realized?

Nothing is actually stopping you from enjoying both games

Also it doesn't really affect you if other people enjoy a game you don't like

>>1484163
>a hip, "cool with the kids" protagonist with hot babes
Yeah because Final Fantasy VI didn't have that.

>>1484170
The hell is going on there? Is Tina stroking herself?

Final Fantasy VII is cool and everything, but it always bugged me how the combat mechanics make every character a blank slate.

FFVI hit the perfect balance of making every character good and bad at certain things, while also giving them a bit of wiggle room with the magicite. You could teach any character any spell, but it was more of a commitment if you wanted to spec a character for spellcasting or physical combat.

FFVII just went full retard and said, "every character can have every ability and switch them around at will"

And ultimately, the real meat of an RPG is in its character customization. Like, that's the metagame, that's what really differentiates RPG's from eachother, right?

>>1484163
>>1484135
>>1484146
>>1484148

I guess I should have mentioned the worst part of FFVI fans: always using FFVII as a scapegoat for their shitty behavior. I don't give a fuck what stupid shit those fans did before you guys (and I certainly don't care which one is "objectively" superior) because I don't see them nearly as often nowadays in comparison to you, if at all. It's almost like they grew up and moved on from their childish opinion shitflinging. Something you guys should consider too!

>>1484173
>Tina
It looks like she's casting fire magic on her tits.

>>1484135
oh god I'd almost forgotten about that site

>>1484198

I think you care a little bit too much, dude.

>>1482961

First reply and the thread's already over, dayum

>>1483640
Does it have to be a retro game fanbase? Pretty sure most of the fanbases spawned from /co/ can easily top it.
>Homestuck
>Frozen
>MLP
>Gravity Falls
>Doctor Doom fans

>>1482961
Eh, it wasn't THAT emotional. However, it was extremely badass. Manliest way to die, for sure.

>>1484179
>but it was more of a commitment if you wanted to spec a character for spellcasting or physical combat.

I actually forgot magicite even affected player stats in any way, which I guess speaks to how important that kind of long-term planning is. Rather I remember turning everyone into Ultima spamming machines for boss fights and having plenty of powerful fighters and relics to abuse left over without ever really thinking ahead or strategizing.

The second half of FFVI is as bad as VII with it's all-powerful red mage syndrome. Yes the characters have their own innate stats and abilities but most of them are irrelevant by that point in the game.

Sabin's street fighter style combos were a cool tie in with another style of game that was popular at the time and made him really feel unique. Agree that everyone else had massive red mage syndrome, yes.

>>1484269
Also the min-maxxing in FF6 is kind of pointless since everyone and their uncle winds up getting some sort of "ignore all defenses never misses" attack.

Funny enough, if you want to make a good Sabin though, you have to train him in magic rather than physical. Despite being Slab Hardcheese, almost all his good blitzes are considered Magic.

>>1484282
Heard that before, but it isn't true. Or rather, the "if you want a good sabin" part isn't true. The magic power boosting his blitzes is true, but they do massive free damage even if you don't boost his stats.

>>1482931

That wasn't a particually good scene in the original and the Woolsey translation made it a retarded joke (huur jumping off cliffs for shits and gigs.)

Even the tunnel bandit's (successful) suicide scene in PSII was handled better than this and that guy just blew himself up on the spot.

>>1483105

I got sad at the beginning of Xenogears.

>>1484305
Captain Glovel and the bridge bunnies died for your unnecessary late game plot twist

Also, they took like the entire game's budget with them

>>1484282
Or if you really wanna break the game, just get Gau's charm rage and never lose a boss fight again.

Tella using Meteo on Golbez.

When Ronyx dies in SO2.
After helping save an entire solar system in SO1, not to mention going out of his way just to save a backwater planet, because that's the kind of guy he is.

And in SO2 he's just looking for his dumbass kid, who got teleported away... And killed by the 10 wiseman as a show of force, without Claude ever realizing how much his dad really cared for him...he was just tired of living in his shadow...

>>1484290
>MFW I FUCK UP

>>1484341
I was going to post that.

Not to mention that Ronyx dies thinking that his son was dead too.

>>1484250

the system shock 2 ending had more emotional impact than this cheesy garbage

Spoilers for Dragon Quest III, but the scene near the end when you finally meet up with your dad kinda touched me. After he's been defeated by a monster, as he's dying he tells you that he's become blind and deaf, and asks you to talk to his son for him, but there's no way for you to tell him that you're his son.

I really wasn't expecting the game to just kind of let your dad go out like a punk like that, the fact that he died to a random monster on the way to the final boss made it that much more sad.

>>1484514
You know 4chan has a spoilers function, right?

>>1484524
Not that poster, but the black spoiler bar makes the whole post hard to read, and if you're on a cellphone, it's borderline unusable, as there's no mouse-hover event, and you have to highlight, and it keeps thinking the user is trying to tap a link, etc., etc.

I don't know, it's not really terribly sad, but the music makes it pretty emotional. It's a shame she didn't stay dead though, kinda ruined this scene for me.

>>1484549
Where the fuck is my pic, you fucking faggot captcha.

>>1482931
Alys dying

>>1484298
He was forced to change the scene, due to NoA's censorship policies back in the 90's. Blame Nintendo, not Woolsey.

>>1484567
That gave you feels? They acted like they were in love despite knowing each other less than 24 hours.

>Get to the end of Super R-Type
>Successfully rescue and defend all of the other allied ships during the final boss battle
>During the escape sequence, one ship always fails to make it out alive

Pic related. Very sad, and done with a good deal of economy too (we didn't follow Toby around for the whole game to establish a connection).

>>1484545
What are you doing using telephone like its a computer, laddy?

>>1484673

>>1483640
>>1484198
The worst part about FFVI's autistic fanbase is they take Woosley's rushed, mistake-ridden, corny translation as if it's the holy word of god. If you even mention the retranslation, they'll start chimping the fuck out. I've finished the RPGOne ROM and absolutely no fucks were given.

http://fantasyanime.com/finalfantasy/ff6/roms/Final_Fantasy_VI_(J)_%5BT+Eng1.2_RPGOne%5D_(All_Fixes).zip

>>1484736
is this another one of those retranslations written by an autistic basement dweller who thinks every line should have profanity in it for it to be "mature"

>>1484651
My nigga.

>>1484748
That's not the real problem with it, the problem is that it's as dry as a dinosaur bone. People can say what they want about Woolsey but at least his scripts read like they were written by a human being.

>>1484767
And this isn't just unfounded personal opinions either. Hell, the review that RECOMMENDS the hack says this about it
>The first thing that must absolutely be said is that I don’t think this was ever intended to be a readable script (like, you know, for actors in a play). There are a lot of stilted lines, things that just don’t sound like anything a native English speaker would say. It even breaks verb tense once, right near the beginning (during Tina’s introduction scene).
>Be that as it may, I get the feeling that this wasn’t done with the presentation of the story in mind. What’s interesting about it is that it manages to make the game sound foreign. Some things just don’t translate well to English from Japanese, and this can be viewed as a study in dead literal translation. Without having any (!) knowledge of Japanese beyond knowing how to greet someone according to the time of day (ohayo gozaimasu!), I can say that playing this hack feels like I’m reading a foreign language, even if it’s nowhere close.

as grown men playing children's toys this is really pathetic

>>1484679
but on this board its still 1999

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXNQNeLDg5s

>>1484208
Not him but Tina is that character's name.

>>1484867
Not in english it isn't

>>1484779
Oh god I cried when my onee-chan died ;_;

>>1484867
Judging from the friendly banter a few posts up, it is literally impossible to hold an opinion on this without shitting on SOMEONE'S most cherished memories. :D

I think Terra is a way better name, myself.

>>1484870
Yes in english its Tina.
In Japanese its ティナ

>>1484885
no, in english it's Terra
deal w/ it

>>1484883
I respect your opinion but the game was originally written with the character named Tina so that's her name.
Also its Ryukku, not Rikku

>>1484886
Except ティナ does not translate to Terra. It translates to Tina. Therefore her name is Tina.

>>1484890
doesn't matter what it translates to
official english name is Terra
they had multiple chances to "correct" it and they didn't
now go back to /jp/

>>1484889
Yes but Japan has something of its own culture going on. Due to different language structure and mythological background, names that sound common in Japanese may sound overly profound and exotic in English, and vice versa. It can make sense to change a name during the translation process to get similar connotations as the home audience had to the original name.

Not that I know anything about the translation process of FF6. I'm just saying that your argument isn't very good. >:]

>>1484901
Official english name is Serena but that doesn't make it correct.

>>1484908
You never change names when translating a work. Never.

>>1484910
I don't think anyone cares, dude. You come to an English speaking website, you can expect the English speakers to call things by their English names. Deal with it.

>>1484916
Well then you shouldn't be surprised or upset when someone corrects you on it.

>>1484913
>You never change names when translating a work. Never.
according to who, you?
Tina is a stupid name for a JRPG protag and the decision to change it was a good one

>>1484925
The only person (or people) upset here are getting mad because we're calling Terra Terra.

>>1484926
>Tina is a stupid name for a JRPG protag

According to who? You?
Squaresoft didn't change it cause it was a stupid name. They thought Terra was more exotic, not realizing that Terra is an incredibly common name in America.

>>1484939
>According to who? You?
according to the people who matter

>>1484943
And who would that be? Since that was not the factor that decided the name should be changed.
The character was originally named Tina so apparently a good deal of people thought it was a good name for a jrpg protag.

>>1484939
>Terra is an incredibly common name in America
wut

It sounds like an exotic hippie name parents gave to embarrass the shit out of their children in the '70s.

holy shit the FF autist really came out of the woodwork in this thread

>>1484953
Terra is common enough that I had a neighbor named Terra and every school I went to had multiple girls named Terra.
I live in the US before you ask. Not in the hippie regions of the US.

>>1484959
that's Tara you moron

There are tons, but none will top this one, at least for me.

>>1484967
No retard they were named Terra. When they wrote down their names in the top right of the paper in school they wrote Terra.

>>1484967
You are nitpicking over spelling. That's like saying Sarah isn't a common name because of Sara.

Going back to Eklemata after you wake up

>>1484939
>>1484953
It's Latin for "Earth". Also the personification of earth, who in the myths gave birth to all the gods, titans and giants and basically the whole universe.

>>1484968

I agree with you tho. Twas very sad.
Thank god you can get her back if you get all 108 stars

>That goat in Terranigma

>>1485013
you mean Tinanigma

>>1485016
oh hush. the name change in FFVI was down to how "exotic" the names were meant to be or some shit like that.
anyway, it's a separate one.

>>1484987
Yeah, we all know what it means. I'm saying I've never heard of a single people in America going by that.

Final Fantasy VI, the one whose protagonist's name we were just arguing about.

>>1482931
The healing of Mikau's and Darmani's soul in Majora's Mask is still, for me, rather powerful.

And the credits scene of the Deku Buttler grieving to his dead son tree thing.

>>1484198
What this guy said. Fucking christ. I'm happy people are finally noticing how damn annoying the FFVI fanbase is and that they always peg it on "DURRHUR LEAST WE NOT FFVII KIDZ".

I'm still cringing from that "How would an FFVI film adaptation work out, and which actors would play muh waifus" thread we had a while back.

>>1484958
If you pay attention you'll notice it's mainly just the FFVI fans.

yo....the game that really caught me off guard and made me cry and shit was Suikoden 2. for realz, g.

Also the bad ending to Gabriel Knight is fucking sad as hell.

Also the the normal ending to Gabriel Knight 2 where you have to kill the man you may of strangely been homosexually attracted to was also very sad.

That's because she has class and grace
Katt is just a strumpet

Shama'li ending for this game. If you've followed the lore, it's the absolutely coolest fucking thing imaginable.

>>1485876
Or maybe because devs wanted Katt to be more likable.

>>1485883
Or maybe you just have low standards

>>1485889
When i said 'offer' i didn't mean a literal offer. The game clearly shows Katt in a better manner and Nina as a non-factor.

COLONEL: Meryl was... my daughter

Why are Final Fantasy fans all so hostile towards each other?
There really shouldn't be as much in-fighting between fans of FFVI and VII when the games are so fucking similar. How do you even enjoy one if you absolutely hate the other?

Exactly. Tina is an English name. Terra is not. So her name is Tina. :-)

This is the same reason I didn't bother with Valkyria Chronicles. Why does it always have to be the waifu material?

Loom (by LucasArts) - too many moments to really mention, and besides it's been ages since I played it on my Amiga 500, so I don't remember all the details.

I was pretty upset when the plate fell on sector seven.

I thought that, in Breath of Fire II when:

Claris and Tiga get wiped by Habaruku, that was more emotional than Celes trying to an hero. Oh, and when Rand's mom dies so he can live. Both of those moments gave me feels.

I cried the first time I saw this. Mostly because of all the really good shit I gave her and couldn't get back. ;_;

I'm glad she wasn't dead afterall.

I was pretty moved by the ending of Illusion of Gaia. Will and Kara have gone on this enormous adventure and grown into young adults, facing all the perils of the world and of first love, and they realize that when the world is put back into its proper shape... they won't remember each other. They can only hope that some glimmer of the time they've spent together will stay with them and bring them back together. It's a frightening thought that we might someday lose someone so important to us, but all we can do is try to go on. It's really a beautiful little scene. There's a profound sense of loss, yet they're about to be given a whole new world.

I grow more worried with every day that no one will want to remember me for eternity.

That's the point. Anon was saying Woolsey's "slit his mama's throat for a nickel" part was "rushed, mistake-ridden, [and] corny." Notice Anon's filename for the image in question.
>hurr.jpg
Anon is ignoring (or entirely unaware) of the original Japanese line there which used the common grolious nihongo phrase "slit his mother's throat for a single yen." The phrase is used in other media, as well, such as Samurai Champloo in reference to Mugen and most recently in P3 in reference to a minor character.

I find it an apt localisation there on Woolsey's part, though I can't speak on other examples in FFIII/VI as I'm not going to rifle through both gamescripts to find silly or questionable translations/localisations. Although... two that come to mind are both from nearer the beginning of the game, specifically "loaded for bear" and "son of a submariner." "Son of a submariner" is silly for the sake of silly and "loaded for bear" is too old and obscure of an American expression to be of much use today.

As someone who played and enjoyed Phantasy Star 2, her death didn't hit that hard... you could just tell she was doomed from the start. That said it was pretty poignant when Chaz occasionally got asked where she was by random NPCs.

The really sad thing about you know who dying in PS2 was that she was actually lucky to die, instead of spending the next month or so of her life fighting increasingly horrible ghouls, witnessing the explosion of an entire planet killing billions, then plunging civilisation of the algo system into 1000 years of medieval apocalyptic suffering.

I knew that expression when I was a teenager in 1995

>>1490643
>i knew that expression a year after Woolsey translated the game

>>1490648
It's clearly not that obscure.

>>1490656
Turns out the phrase is still somewhat common in the Canadian prairies, the more rural areas of the American PNW and, oddly enough, Appalachia.

>>1490643
Are you from any of the areas listed above?

There's nothing wrong with "he'd slit his mama's throat for a nickel." It gets the meaning across.

It's a video game, not a scholarly work.

Always makes me feel bad for killing the pilot. ;_;

What, you're saying German soldiers are human beings with friends and families? Nonsense! Only Americans are people!

nazis were idiots and dug a shallow grave for themselves tho

And Woolsey's from Puyallup (PNW). That explains why you both know the phrase that left much of the rest of North America scratching their heads.

>>1490696
The post was saying there's nothing wrong with it. I don't understand why you're commenting on it.

>>1490713
There are a ton of depressing details and the paper plane in the end credits is a kick in the guts.

I... I think he believes 'apt' means bad.

>>1490696
The post was saying there's nothing wrong with Woolsey's translation there and that it was apt IE decent.

The "nazis" were the only hope we had left to save our world from the jews and a future for white children

It has only been downhills since they lost.

Here's a rather obscure one: The cutscene after Act 7 in the PC-Engine CD-ROM version of Valis IV, where Amu (the tomboy sister of the main character, Lena) gets herself killed by Gallagher (the final boss) to prevent Valna (playable character in Valis III) from getting killed. The voices are in Japanese, but it's still kind of sad even if you don't know Japanese.

Clip (the cutscene ends after the 2:18 mark):

Yes, Lena had a SISTER that you could play as in the PCE-CD version. You could also play as Asfal, which was Gallagher's FATHER.

It's okay, cause he probably got magicked back into existence at the end

>>1490310
Oh really? That's cool. All I remembered was the couple and their new kids in Lindblum but those two had been saved in Burmecia.

I don't feel anything for them.

Fucking QFG4 has more atmosphere and feels than any game I've played in the past decade.

I wish indie devs could tap into some of this, but no, all their shit is forced or acts as a means of social commentary. Or is just lazy

FUCK MAN.

Time to play some QFG4 again... still haven't beat it even though I first was given it at age 6, and lady of the lake was my first fap

It's just a phonetic thing you weeb. The Japanese pronunciation of Aerith is 'Aydhis'.

The ending of Shadow of the Colossus.

Most of Okami was pretty emotional too.

>>1490936
I thought it was more like Ah-eh-rih-suh

well this is certainly making me feel some strong emotions

>>1491080

Japanese 'r' is a sort of soft 'd' sound. And technically is would look like a 'su' but in practice the 'u' is voiceless.

>>1490793
No, he stays dead

>>1491108
Is that confirmed?

>>1491080
No.

>>1491105
Wait, let's be clear. The Japanese 'r' has sounds a little like a 'd', but it's still primarily and 'r' sound

>>1491102
MOTHERFUCKER

>>1491113
>Is that confirmed?
He doesn't show up and isn't mentioned in any context that would indicate he is alive in any of the endings, so it's reasonable to assume he remains deceased

>>1491113

Yeah, I know, that's why I put an h after it. It's a bit hard to explain how you say it. It's like trilling, but it's only one trill.

>>1491125
On the other hand, the endings are also really short and don't give much information at all.

A better source would be Blue Sphere

>>1491113
You could just give a reason to explain why instead of just saying "No."

>>1491102
Not as bad as roguelike feels.

Close.
AE, the open-mid front unrounded vowel, is a sound not overt or obvious in most dialects or varieties of English but common in other languages. Try to listen to how a Kiwi says "egg." They pronounce the E as an open-mid front unrounded vowel.

Properly, the name is pronounced in 2,25 syllables. I add the additional 0,25 for the terminal U sound there following the S. It's very faint and most people can't pick up on it. Try placing your tongue just behind your teeth and blow air through your teeth forcefully (S sound) then quickly pulling your tongue back a very short bit as you suddenly stop blowing air. That's the sound. Difficult to transcribe, I know.

>>1491113
>>1491105
That's not correct. The Japanese R sound is called a rhotic flap. It is a particularly difficult sound for English speakers to note correctly (it sounds like a D to native speakers of English) because not a single English dialect or variety has a single perfect example of the sound at all. Of Western European languages, Spanish has the sound most (Spanish R). While Italian speakers pronounce all other Japanese sounds perfectly, Italian tends trills its R too much for it to be accurate in its approximation of the Japanese R sound.
In English, the closest example I can think of would be the TTs in "pitter-patter." Although very close, those TTs aren't quite right, either.

>>1491126
Yes. It's called a rhotic flap. See >>1491195

Definitely worth playing through, though I wasn't a fan of the combat system. Way back when I was a younger man, I played through QFG 1 through 4 over a few weeks with the same character, making sure I maxed out his stats in each game (well, i did in 1 and 2, I probably didn't in 3), in preparation for Dragon Fire. Was such a great time, I should probably do it again. QFG4 was definitely special when it came to feels, though the atmosphere of all of them was really outstanding. I'm personally still partial to Shapier in QFG2, goign back to the inn each night and chilling with my Katta friends..

>>1482931

>what's Balthasar being deleted

Or whatever the fuck his name is.

>>1491460

(also of note, I believe QFG4 was Jennifer Hale's first job as a voice actor for games).

>>1491195
I get your point on the rhotic flap, but I'm skeptical as to whether it can be so cleanly classified as sounding closer to TTs than Rs. I'm thinking of words that start with the R sound for example (e.g. Ranma, "Last", etc). I think it's more of an in-between.

GOG has the entire series, 1 through 5

5 is kind of repulsive for its attempt to replace the pleasant cartoon feel of 3 and 4 with primitive attempts at 3d, but my affection for the story and the characters compelled me to see it through anyway.
