Some beauty landscape and some shots of my fight vs Titan.

The Dark of Night is up!

If there's one spot to really read here, it's this one: Cid’s Motivations for Saving Bearers. Cid's motivations and his goal got a pretty major re-write between Japanese and English. This rewrite links up to the differences between Japanese and English at Benedikta & Cid’s Confrontation in Norvant Fortress. ...Which will link up to someone else's motivation and goal differences later down the line...

------------------

Quinten is one of those characters where his Japanese and English personalities differ, especially once his Japanese VA delivery style is taken into account. There's this sense of amusement to him in Japanese that is lacking in English. Particularly whenever he talks about doing things that go against the grain while getting away with it...

------------------

One of my favorite general "Japanese vs English" examples of what differences between them tend to be like is Cid's response to Clive after Quinten gives Clive his brooch/seal.

>(Japanese)
The 《brooch》 you received
is a sign its master has approved of you.
If a master has put in a good word for you,
they’ll listen, even if you’re a Bearer.

>(English)
You don’t need to worry about that just yet. Trust me.
Everyone in Lostwing knows what that seal means…and what it means if they don’t take note.

Japanese Cid just explains what is going on right then and there. English Cid puts it off and then never explains it...which leaves it up to the Thousand Tomes to do it instead. And even then the Thousand Tomes entries mention slightly different things about how this works...

------------------

One of the Japanese NPC lines here is really interesting and is foreshadowing about a topic FFXVI will go into a lot more later!

>Steely-Nerved Woman (Japanese)
The village residents gathered here have the same “thoughts” as the Master.
We will absolutely not allow it to be invaded by outsiders.

>Hard-bitten Villager
Most of us came to Lostwing to get away from the kind of thing that happened last night.
Which only makes it worse…

The "thoughts" used here are the same type of "thoughts" that Clive will spend a lot of time talking about in Act 3 with Barnabas and Ultima. And this NPC is talking about how the Lostwing villagers are sharing thoughts in the same way as Clive will later on!

Happy reading everyone!

It had to be done at some point.

I'm cleaning my storage and I stumbled upon this meme video I made to sumup my reaction of this PEAK scene.

Bought it at release on PC and played nonstop until the first finish but only recently picked up with Final Fantasy mode and decided to do it all. Carpal tunnel included as I eschewed using any of the helper rings except Evade just for essentially a fight and a half. The first time because the game crashed near the end of the last stage of the Odin fight and I'd had enough of that lol. And Leviathan, which predictably took a while regardless.

Still going to dabble a bit in the extra/score modes before recovering that 160gb for other games. Won't be long probably before another install though.

Just started playing and man the graphics and fighting style cant wait to finish it

Every post in the main sub is "WAHH I HATE FF16 WAHHH" do these people have jobs (not an ff job)? Or a life? Do they understand that 16 is ONE FUCKING GAME out of like 30 main games and spin offs

Hey guys! I've just unlocked Odin and this is what I got so far!

I'm struggling a bit to fill the zantetsuken bar so I'd appreciate it if anyone can share some combo routes to properly use Odin's skillset.

I'm using logos unleashed but I'm not very good at styling honestly 😅
