/vr/ - Retro Games

I agree Vivi had a good story. For me it was when Squall was in space floating to Rinoa. I LOVE FFVIII and that whole part of the story really got to me.

yes, wander from shadows of the colossus. his face was so blank and gave of an overwhelming"i don't care what happens to me, as long as she is resurrected". sad stuff

>>3150097
Not CRY, but tear up, yeah.
Cyan in FFVI as a character was the first character in a game to really jerk moisture out of my eye.

Plenty of retro games did the same though.
FFVIII the most, especially the ending with Laguna.

FFVIIIfag from above. I've never met another anon on 4chan that didn't shit all over FFVIII. Glad to see you enjoyed FFVIII too!

>>3150502
FFVIII was a great game and would have been my favorite if it weren't for the whole amnesiac orphan thing. FFX was all feels and the twist of tidus being a dream of the fayth and disappearing was quite sad.

>>3150502
Fukkin love 8. Anyone I see hating on it I just chalk up to "oh he's one of those kinds of fags you can give a gram of coke to and he'd complain about the baggie it's in".

Anyway, I won't continue to turn this into a FF8 thread.

>>3150459
I wish I could get into ff8.

I got it on steam and had to put it down after 15 mins.

VIII was the only game in the series I had any emotional attachment to the characters. Felt good at the ending, like that feeling when a movie is over and you're like "that was a good movie".

I don't know how people get all blubbery over Vivi and IX, I didn't feel much in that game, just admired the art direction.

>>3151507
Weren't the first 15 mins of ff8 one of the most comfy of all games?

>>3151527
The Balamb Garden is super comfy, but the entire game world is pretty fucking cool. It easily has the most believable and lived-in look for a FF game.

If it wasn't for monsters roaming the countryside, I'd love to live there.

>>3150097

I didn't like the game but I loved Vivi and his background.
I'm glad to see praise for FFVIII as I liked the game, my only complaint being the magic system.

I cried several times playing video games. The earliest I can remember is the ending of Link's Awakening. The most intense though was the ending of Silent Hill 2.

This scene put me on an all expensive paid trip on the feels train.

I play a ton of RPGs but oddly enough when I think about it, I don't think I've ever even been close to tears playing one. Cried plenty watching different anime but never a game even not retro. Hm, anyone got any sad as shit games I may not have played?

No tears but in Final Fantasy Tactics a certain character's death left me with a strong feeling of injustice.

When poor, innocent Teta gets skewered by Algus' crossbow shot. Never before have I been so angry at pixels

>>3151534
My favorite aspect of FFVIIII too anon. It has a very contemporary feel to it which I really liked. I really dug the idea of SeeD and the Gardens. I spent much of my youth wishing I was a child soldier.

>>3151674
I too felt this way, anon.

Something that I never felt in another game happened with me on Dark Souls, i felt broken, hopeless, alone, not exactly sad, more numb, and it got much worst when i had to kill solaire, i used to be really happy to see him because i would have someone to talk with that is not weird or spooky.

A lot of the first Mother did this to me, to be honest.

There's something stark, unsettling, and heartbreaking within it that even Mother 3 can't match.

When I was a kid I was so used to Heroes being invincible and untouchable that the Green with Evil two parter in power rangers really surprised me, that was as far as I thought it could go in terms of Heroes "losing" but then in my first Video game I reach the the second run to Hellena Prison and Lavitz dies ....I was shocked Crying and absolutely wrecked and even to this day I still have trouble with that part of the game Seeing him again in Mayfil and the subsequent boss fight with his posses Soul was one of the most infuriating and depressing fights I have ever been through

>>3151674
Another death in that game made me thirst for justice when Delita kills Ovelia at the end

>>3150097
Everybody talks about Aerith dying, but Red XII finding his father was more emotional.

>>3152090
This hurt man...

>>3150097
Not really. I got a little misty at the end of FF6 when Shadow told Interceptor to go on his own because animal, but I think that's about it. Never had a serious cry or bawl over a game because you're never with the characters long enough to really form any emotional connection. Even a 50 hour RPG isn't enough because that sort of stuff takes years to grow.

>>3152145
Dem feelers bro. Those green crystal tears...they wrecked my child mind. How can a statue cry, and the reveal. Oh it hurt. Coward, not even a little bit.

>>3152104
Blame yourself or blame God. Delita is one of my favorite characters from the final fantasy series.

>>3151674
Finishing that game was the most depressed I have ever felt completing a game
The creators say Ramza and co. survived but I just don't buy it. And then Orran gets burned at the stake ;_;

>>3152145
came here to post this.

Aerith was more of whuuuuut moment than actually sad.

But that shit was beautiful and very emotional, finding out that his father was this great hero that gave his life to save the village and that Cosmo Canyon music kicks in a just the right moment, its my favorite moment in any RPG.

>>3151527
Yes. Easily my favorite part of FF8 and one of my favorite parts of RPGs in general. Not even sure why, really.

>>3152054
The end of the Caterina family quest in Ash Lake for me.

Pic tangentially related but the ending of Rhapsody a musical adventure left me pretty emotionally exhausted, didn't help I beat it on valentines day

This whole ending from Rockaxe onward is fucked.

Bump. I really like this thread.

This one was tragic, but not as unfair. Imo, Delita was ruthless to achieve power so he could finally bring peace and justice in a troubled period. I felt his motives were ultimately good, while he had to be a sneaky bastard until the epilogue.

Ovelia should have went with the flow and be a docile queen. But no, disgusted by this man's treacherous attitude she wants to assassinate him, fails and as expected he retaliates. Was he going to let her live and allow all he had worked so hard to build crumble? All the sacrifices that would be for naught? By this action, she caused her own demise.

Yes, I would have prefered for Ovelia to live, but her candor and intransigence were her downfall.

>>3150097
no lmao what kind of fucking weirdo cries over a video game?

One of the signs of autism is not being able to empathize or form emotional connections. This isn't something to be ashamed of, just make sure you're getting proper treatment and it'll be okay.

>One of the signs of autism is not being able to empathize or form emotional connections.
i empathize with real people and with well written characters in movies and books. the thing about video games is that they don't have well written characters, or stories for that matter. video game characters seem more to me like dolls than people.

that said, what does empathy have to do with crying? it's common to have one without the other you fucking bonehead. what an arbitrary connection.

that said, what does empathy to fake people have to do with crying? you can have one without the other you fucking bonehead. do you cry every time you read a sad news story?
