I heard nothing but praise for FF6 when its following game came out. People like OP have FF6 praise for being more than the sum of its parts. When I make these critiques, people say I'M being autistic. I'm going to throw you a bone because for some reason I'm being nice.

If you WANT a game to have a lot of cutscenes, fine. In fact, I've played my share of games that are cutscene heavy.

There's a difference between a game and a fucking movie. A game should be interactive. If control is taken away, I might as well watch a movie. Movies are better at telling visual narratives than games.

Considering there were games with full songs and shit on the snes it actually comes off as pretty cheap. Sure you had to be a nip to hear most of them, but it's also not like that was the first time either. I really don't understand the hype of the scene at all. Maybe if you really only played final fantasy exclusively.

"mind blowing" is overstating sure but it was something that was well and above the use of presentation through timed-scripting and music in any other game at the time. Also something lost in translation is that the music notes are in time with the lyrics and thus you can sing along in correct meter in Japanese

imagine how intellectually stunted by games you must be in order to think of them as "artsy" or "intellectual".

I play video games as a hobby, and it's certainly a hobby I've invested a lot of time in. that being said, I've NEVER played a game that I would put on par with anything from the western literary canon, or any other canon I'm familiar with.

when video games take up so much of your time that begin to see them as equal or superior to other media, I think it's a wake up call that it's time for you spend a little time doing something else for a change. games are fun and stimulating, but they aren't "classic literature".

>> No.4231976

This. It doesn't even feel as intentional trolling anymore. What's even worse is people are doing that even more nowadays. There are so many other forms of media where story telling has been established. Why would you even want to compare game stories to literature , live performance or movies/TV? For what purpose? Isn't playing games exactly what makes them different and worth spending your time on to begin with?

I hope you realise that "opera as an aesthetic" is one of the most common "faux high brow" tropes in pop culture. They literally just took an ordinary scene, - which was a very generic jrpg scene, by the way - , and slapped a stupid gimmick on it. It's not opera, but rather ordinary narration that uses an opera setting as a cheap and shallow aesthetic.

You can see it as an equivalent of all the instagram filters teenagers use when they want to seem "deep" on social media.

>> No.4232193

>>4232189
Not that guy but again, you do understand the context right? Even bad soap opera storytelling shoehorned into an rpg was enough to make it seem almost incredible put beside other rpgs of tbe time.

Context is everything. It's one thing to not find the scene compelling yourself. But not understanding why others did doesn't .make you seem erudite.

>> No.4232270

Look, an opera usually lasts from 2 to 4 hours, did you expect a game on SNES to put a whole act for you to "play"? They can't, so all you get is an actually elaborated symphonic piece and some scenes. Conveniently, the point is not to play the whole thing, the Returners' plan was to get Setzer's attention to kidnap Maria. As the opera goes on Locke get to read Ultros letter, thus resulting in a battle that interrupts it.

Yeah it could have more depth but I think you're going too far criticizing it for being generic when they tried something nobody attempted before.

It's fine, even good, but so is almost every scene--it's a good game.

The only argument I actually understood here was that it matched text on screen with music and you can sing along with it. Which again is good, but it's also not unique. The entire point of games is being able interact with the sound and video on screen.

That you even need it explained is what's a weird combination of sad and funny. I honestly think you're playing it up but whatever. If you sincerely don't get why one of the most famous sequences in a retro rpg got to be that way it's no skin off my back.

I did say in a earlier post that a love story scene was almost certain to not appeal to younger players. So if you were under 16, 17 or so at the time I could see it mot clicking. And maybe then never appealing after. But also who cares? You don't like a thing some others do isn't the end of the world.

holy fuck you are stupid. I was pointing out that is how reddit discusses video games without fucking saying it, nobody was fedora posting in there so its kind of hard to reply to reddit posts. Maybe 4chan is too meta for you dude reddit might actually be more your pace, I was making light of the fact that reddit does the psuedointellectual armchair psychologist over examining shit. Thanks for killing any faith I had in this board and letting me know reddit has really taken over. You faggots don't understand meta, you cant read between the lines you are all autistic as hell and read into everything way to literally you don't belong here you have no sense of nuance and I even tried to spoiler it to give you a chance now I fly off the handle because I thought this place was for people who fucking understand nuance. You're retarded and you're the newfag. Now go back to writing your university thesis on kefka fuckin autist

The opera scene was far from the best In the game, and probably directly responsible for everything bad in FF7.

To be honest, I do think there are some aspects and genres that I think games work better in.

For example, I am slightly more stimulated by playing a detective game than a detective book because plot progression depends only on if I can solve the mystery.

I think video games is its own thing from movies and books as movies were a different thing from books. And it has a good crux to rely on, which is interactivity.

People REALLY underrate Sega's JRPG game. In 1993 they released Shining Force 2, which is a great substitute for Fire Emblem, and they released Phantasy Star 4, a fucking juggernaut of cinematic storytelling considering the limitations and times.

I thought it was pretty cool, though it did take a big chunk out of the gameplay for a time, and chasing Ultros through the rafters sucked ass.

Not related to FFVI opera, there's some things you can do in video games that can't be done in any other medium. That said, there's also a few games out there that explore themes better than some of the best literature, and do so without nearly as much direct exposition, using the entire set of components of the media (visuals, sound, writing, and player engagement) to produce the effect. In that sense, video games are more akin to Theater than literature, requiring each of those parts to come together as a whole, and the entire thing is only as strong as its weakest bit, whereas literature only has a single avenue and point of failure for its work (the writer's talent at writing).

Dismissing the form of media out of hand is intellectually ruinous, as is refusing to appreciate the effect of any and all media to convey ideas and emotion on their merits rather than expecting all types to conform to a specific design.

I think the biggest death in Final Fantasy wasn't actually a death at all. Rachel in FFVI telling Locke to move on was one of the best scenes in the entire series, but it's completely overlooked.

>I actually wanted someone to explain it to me, but no one can actually say what it is about the opera scene, so I guess it's nothing afterall.

I think the main reason FFVI fans aren't able to describe why the scene is good is because the scene triggered emotions specific to them, but they aren't willing to admit it nor able to describe it.

>It's like how some people say they have all these great ideas inside their heads. They have a great novel or great song they're working on. They can't get it out of their head though because it's not actually there, all they have is a fantasy of their own skill.

This. If people can't explain it or covert their ideas into something communicable, then they might as well not exist.

Its not that easy kid. Language converts whats on our mind into something you can communicate but that doesn't mean the language can convey everything. This happens to me very often when watching films.
