I had a case of this recently for a screenshot of Epic Mickey 3DS, but that's all I can think of as of now.

Back in the day it was mostly the standard stuff others fell to like Aginham or however the fuck his name is spelled, what a fucking lame ass boss.

Did you have a copy without the instruction booklet? Barring that, if you wait a few seconds at the title screen, a message comes up that gives your orders. It says you are to "destroy Metroid."

Not graphics related, but in Megaman Legends there's a shop that has a limbless reaverbot body on display, and if you examine it, it says "it looks like it's still alive."

That used to creep me the fuck out, because I just imagined having a still-living reaverbot in your home, watching your every move, unable to hurt you, but just knowing that it wants to.

Then I realized, that line is meant to be taken literally: It LOOKS like it's still alive. As in, it's not actually.

I know no one gives a fuck but I really hate this "Warrior of Light" bullshit character they made up for Dissidia especially given how they had an "Onion Knight" to represent FFIII. FF1 representive should just have been "Fighter" to be in line with Onion Knight and YES I am aware that Warrior of Light is based on Amano's artwork of the Fighter class from FF1 but that doesn't change the fact there ISN'T a specific "Warrior of Light" in FF1 it just features four random Light warriors without a need to have a Fighter in your party.

>> No.2049379

>>2049367
I don't see your problem. Fighter is probably considered the default class for most people and following Amano's art was a good idea. The name being Warrior of Light is important because it comes from the game that defined the role.

Well seeing how his class name is literally warrior (in Japan) and he is one of the warrior's of light it kinda does make sense. He is the WARRIOR of light after all. Fighter of light sounds lame. So does just straight up Fighter. Knight of light also sounds pretty dumb.

I thought it was a floating vertically oriented fortress, too. Due to the face, I kind of saw it as vaguely resembling a sorceress (perhaps Queen Zeal), a fortress/statue, perhaps as a form of tribute or egotism. I knew it wasn't actually this, but I could see it in that sprite... still kind do. Years later when Pokemon debuted Jirachi, its head shape made me think that maybe that weird triangular "hat" was some kind of Japanese ceremonial headdress, reinforcing my wacky interpretation of the Black Omen.

You moron. The shadow in the game is projected out and away. It is literally nothing like your image and would not make sense if you put it into the same context. How do you even function with a brain like that? And again, I am objectively correct. You're just proving your idiocy.

As clearly shown, the shadow is of the upper part of the ship because of the light source coming from the top part of the screen. If the ship was a vertical tower, the shadow would be shaped like the bottom portion instead. This is basic shit. Don't even attempt art if you can't easily understand this.

The rest of the game overworld isn't top-down, why would this one element be?

The Black Omen is clearly meant to be hovering. If it's top-down, the ship would instead be moving forward and backward. Yeah, that makes sense.

When it's destroyed, it disintegrates due to the energy wave unleashed below it... but if it's top-down, the disintegration happens from front to back, when it should be bottom to top due to the direction of said energy wave.

I drew another diagram that is hopefully simple enough for you to follow. If it were a vertically oriented tower, the platform would be roughly in the middle. If it juts out away from the main structure as opposed to being flush with it, there would be nothing to obstruct a view of the earth below.

In fact, if it were a starship, I'd say the view of the earth is more likely to be obstructed due to the massive size of the starship's main body beneath the platform.

But go ahead and handwave it as "shitposting" because you can't (or don't want to) look at things from more than one perspective.

Then why can't you see any part of the rest of the ship? If it was vertical, you would see the main part of the ship and half of the Earth would be obscured (not to mention the orientation of the platform is completely impossible if it were vertical).

Answer: it's horizontal and that platform is raised over the ship.

This falls apart when you look at any other element of the game. Insisting that the Black Omen is straight bird's eye view when the rest of the game clearly isn't is what's "retarded." Otherwise structures such as Magus's Lair have to be viewed different based on "how they'd stand on this spot."

You really suck at perspective and lighting.

People keep saying that, but they're wrong. The platform doesn't fucking change its orientation if the structure is viewed as a vertically oriented floating glacier. You can believe it can't be a vertically oriented structure if you wish, but if you have to insist that your opponents are saying something they're not and/or insist upon something that isn't true in order to make your case, something's wrong with your case.

>> No.2065078

>>2065004
You have a hard time understanding that unlike mountains and castles the black omen isn't connected to the world, it floats. It make a difference because the mountains and castles point vertically because they're a vertical object on a horizontal world. The Omen on the other hand is a horizontal object floating above an horizontal world. The platform you fight is vertical object on an horizontal ship. I know the platform elevated because: 1) You take an elevator to get to it. 2) It's overlooking the world. Also it's the Omen can't be vertical because that would make a platform you stand be like the side of a house, you would fall off. But, say I'm wrong and some how you could stand and fight on it. If that was the case you wouldn't be overlooking the world, You be looking at the peak of the Black Omen.

Again, people keep saying this--apparently they are just incapable of interpreting an image in more than one way. I'm sorry, I can't help that. As I view it, the entire fucking platform doesn't rotate because I'm not viewing it with the same orientation you are.

No it's completely correct. It's clear where on the ship the characters are standing. And if the ship was vertical like you claim, then that portion of the ship would be one of the vertical surfaces and thus impossible to stand on. Sorry, bro.

Sorry, bro, but I perceive the Black Omen as a glacier-like floating palace with a balcony-like platfom, and there is nothing--not even saying "but that's wrong"--you can do to make me see otherwise.

also, on the righthand pic, you can see the earth in the bottom left and right corners. this means that the bridge is significantly higher than the ship, with a gap in between. which means that you'd still see the earth even with a horizontal ship underneath. it's like a star destroyer.
