oh baby youuuuu, you got what i neeee-eeeeed.

[nagyka]

Hey, dudes & dudettes! I'm Lucy and I bring with me Quistis Trepe from some obscure game you've probably never heard of called Final Fantasy VIII! She's set up as a spouse in house #1468! Her canon point is Disc Two, before going to Trabia Garden.

I don't like to do intro posts, so I will probably bum around until that newbie log. My motto is "if it's dumb, I want to RP it," so please come to me if you have really stupid ideas and need someone to jam with!!

I can be found on AIM at instructor fourteen (or my old one, candyfloss branch if I'm playing sneaky-sneak) and plurk at esuna (this is where I talk about RP and dogs)!

we might have!! i am really awful in group conversations, but i try i try....,.,...,,,...

to me, it felt like a lot of it changed alongside the update? idk. i always appreciated the mash-up of old school fantasy world with tech and i think the original handled it really well and interestingly, but it didn't have the same charm in latter installments for me. i confess to not having played crisis core, but around the time it came out i had a really demanding job and up until recently i honestly haven't had much free time at all.

see, i kind of just liked... not knowing much about her? i like when some things are left behind and not touched on. then again, i also like the idea that the whole world blew up at the end of ff7 and nothing worked out. OH BOY WE GOT AN ANGSTY MC ANGSTER HERE!!!!

a lot of it was i liked that vincent had moved on to some degree and then they were like YEAH NO LET'S CUT THEM WOUNDS OPEN!!! but again, most of my issues are with worldbuild and petty stylistic choices

my opinion is always invalid, remember this!!

[thirdbeauty]

Shush you, you have lots of valid reasons!

Like, the whole mashup of old school fantasy with tech thing is exactly what I was talking about with the original game having its own charm! FF7 proper really showcased it in the visual style, even though technology was pretty hugely part of the world. I don't think FF8 really threw the balance a whole lot further towards tech, but it certainly updated the visual style so it seemed more modern and less connected to the old-school fantasy style. That's how I feel about the Compilation titles... it makes it feel more modern, like the other FF titles of the early-to-mid 2000's. Even though, when you get down to it, it's still the same world. If that makes sense?

One of the things I really appreciated was that they used DoC to really develop characters that didn't get much focus in the original game. Reeve, Vincent, Yuffie, Lucrecia... I think it did repeat some things, but they were kind of making up for those characters being so "minor" in the original title. And admittedly, I hated not knowing much about her because it made her a bitch to RP, lol. (Technically, she still is, because she's kind of a bitch... o.o)

But again, that's just my feelings on it! Yours are perfectly valid, too! I just apparently feel like sharing tonight. xD

[fortissimos]

RIGHT!! god i have after years on psp and i haven't played it i'm a bad fan... i hear bad things and it makes me worried

at least the numbered games can be relied on for quality even if the spinoffs are a hot mess... they're better than some other companies.

[burgle]

.....................

rude, he is the best son!! better than kuja-- i mean, kuja killed dad!!

[nagyka]

death was his only option

it was about honor

[nagyka]

i paid for it as it came out on wii and halfway through i got angry because it was a money pit and then it came out on psp and i didn't play it out of annoyance. now i'm playing it and half-enjoying it, half-linefacing.

this is true. this... is... true... (unsure)

[nagyka]

yeah, definitely!! although i do really enjoy high fantasy, too. in terms of rp, i think it is certainly easier to play from a game with some modern tech as opposed to none at all (although really jarring differences can be really fun to play with, as well!).

but yeah, you make sense. i think my thing is that i never never really found myself attached to any character (or characters) as i did with the other games -- or even was able to go I LIKE THEM ALL, I CAN'T PICK!! i like all the characters well enough, but it's one of the games i've played the whole way through and know pretty well and don't rp from. although i also don't play from vi and i chinhands that, too... hrm.

hey, man, it's all good. it's always nice to have someone to jam with. most of my friends rl and rp are horror/old television shows/sci-fi/etc. so i don't often get to rocktalk about the vidya that i enjoy.

that icon...... ♥

[thirdbeauty]

Heh, for me it was like... the Compilation titles actually made me appreciate the cast and world a lot more than I originally did (which was about the same - I liked 'em all okay). I did technically RP from it, but... I barely count Lucrecia, since my version of her was like... 90% headcanon...

But hey, VI is actually my favorite of the 2D era! Along with VIII from the Playstation era and X (counting X-2, I suppose) from the PS2 era.

I have very unpopular tastes in Final Fantasy games. xD

[mayoboro]

YEAH!!!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR QUISTIS!! ff8 happened to be my first and favourite final fantasy >:I good memories omg and our characters are literally neighbours

i'm kira and this is hijikata from gintama ;-;

[nagyka]

Hello, Kira!! Good memories even though she got shafted (and not the way she wanted ZING!!!!) are always what I hope for. Which house is he at? :3a

I don't know your canon outside of cross-canon CR in RP, but I have had nothing but fabulous experiences so I can't wait!!

[mayoboro]

DIDN'T EVERYONE GET MASSIVELY SHAFTED HALFWAY THROUGH CD 3 THOUGH-- also, house 1470! if i understand the neighbourhood structure then they're next to each other

i hope i can deliver a good game experience because gintamas are gross aldskfj

[nagyka]

Disc 3? Lbr, anyone who wasn't Squall or Rinoa basically didn't exist at the start of that one.

I like the "if I understand" part. If I stick with you, I bet I'll be going places!

That's why I like them 8(

[mayoboro]

sDFALKDJFadskflamds it's so hard to remember....

lmfao believe in me who believes in you it'll be fine I KNOW PEOPLE

[nagyka]

i feel like everything goes back to lion king these days with me........

QUALITY RP FROM QUALITY PEOPLE, IT WOULD SEEM

i like you already 8(

[mayoboro]

i feel like i did my job here, in terms of first impressions
that said, mind if i add on plurk?

[nagyka]

YOU DIDN'T SEE HER
you're free to add me if you so choose

[mayoboro]

2 late
the damage is done

[nagyka]

I hope you can still accept me for who I am

[30thcenturyrabbit]

QUISTY! MY FAVORITE FF CHICK.

[nagyka]

YOUR ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS

Quistis is p swell 8(

[30thcenturyrabbit]

Is she possibly going to be a teacher here? Because if yes, there is another dumb teacher she should meet.

Well she should probably meet him anyway. Most of my chars are dumb and I like dumb rp.

[nagyka]

I was going to have her maybe be a tutor part-time? She's still a little earlier in canon (to refresh your memory, Trabia also comes before Seifer/G-Garden attacks B-Garden!), so the wounds are still pretty fresh and her personal journey hasn't quite come to fruition.

Yes, I would v much enjoy this. :) I mostly apped here because I find people who really enjoy slice-of-life stuff enjoy making it really dumb. In my experience, anyway!!

[paper_rabbit]

oh wow yes. It's been a few years since i've played 8.

she should really talk to chibiusa, that pink-haired moppet who is secretly a magical girl and thinks that having crushes on two guys is having an affair.

This guy here's a derpy historian who'd probably trip over his own feet.

[nagyka]

Yeah, it had been a while for me and I rebought the game last year but didn't get around to playing it until like, January. I realize that visiting Trabia Garden is a much more minor thing and it might be easier to pinpoint her progress via WHAT DUMB THING IS SEIFER DOING AT THE MOMENT? :')

I actually know her!! I've never gotten too big into animu (old computer, the effort of finding subs, general laziness on my end and vidya just being easier and more compact heh), but yes. Awkward mentorship? I'm in.

>historian
she's in!

[30thcenturyrabbit]

SEIFER DOES SO MANY DUMB THINGS OMG. I am actually finally cosplaying her this year (about damn time, really).

yay! Chibiusa/ Teeny Rini is always fun! She's not as much of a brat in the original, but instead will probably give you cavities.

>yes yes yes. Lavi does not meet many historians, though he's befriended conspiracy theorists.
