I'm going to after lunch!

So I will get all of the jobs in Bravely Second eventually, right? Regardless of my choices and whatnot?

ooooooooooooo

Tiring, my job is sucking the life out of me and all I want to do lately is sleep and play Castlevania but insomnia only allows me to do one thing.

Guess who got Bravely Second?

Hint: It was me

Heh, it was fun while it lasted ^^ RP'ing Makoto is likely about a million times easier than RP'ing Byakuya though and nice job on the posts you made, I totally read them in Byakuya's voice xD



Umm... Thanks, Nagito... I guess...

You've got that backwards. It's precisely because I've played the game that I can say these words.

The plot adds to Final Fantasy VII's world and overall story in many ways. Deepground serves well to deliver the message that just because the heroes saved the world and even if Midgar did get destroyed in the process, ShinRa's past deeds are still as vile as always and that is something that cannot be ignored if the world is to move on. Perhaps Deepground is a bit forced in, but it plays so well to the game's themes that it's easily forgivable. It gives the heroes a tangible enemy and a sense of urgency to not content themselves with what they've already done, but rather continue to clean up the mess ShinRa left them with.



The five-second-cameos did no more or less than put a smile on the faces of those who truly love Final Fantasy VII and have also accepted Dirge of Cerberus for being a different type of game. It's a simple reference, but that's all it needs to be; these characters are not the focus of the story, it'd be perfectly justified to not have them show up, but just to give the fans a moment to squee they have them show up anyways. If that's not love for the fans, what is?



If you claim the creators failed to reach out to your own love of Final Fantasy VII, surely there is some blame to put with them. But they did try, and I will not let the denial of their efforts stand. There is no justification for calling Dirge of Cerberus an abomination, much less compare it or put it below All The smurfing Bravest which had absolutely none of any of this sort of thought put into it.



(Also this is the part where I stop caring because I don't really *like* the plot of Dirge of Cerberus per se)

...



"Well now. Surely you will not let this cancerous 'hope' and 'trust' for something so vile stand like this? I expect an interesting show of it being torn to shreds. Don't bore me, okay...?"

Yeah it will be awkward, especially for sex but the benefits are good!

Fine, I concede that point. There are times where All The Bravest can be enjoyed. As rare an occurrence as that may be, the possibility can't be denied.



But I'm disappointed, Byakuya. You should know better than to look at things so one-sidedly. Here is my counter to your argument.



The fact that All The Bravest 'can' be enjoyed is far outweighed by Dirge of Cerberus being a game that is inherently much more fun to play! Simply by aiming higher and having an incomparably higher amount of effort put into the execution, the ways in which Dirge of Cerberus can be enjoyed greatly outclasses the unbelievably monotone (even for mobile games!) All The Bravest.



Furthermore, Dirge of Cerberus uses its fanservice well to make the game more enjoyable. Playing as a Cerberus-wielding Vincent protecting the general populace is delightful! On top of that, the gameplay has a lot of individual elements put in with great care to make the playing experience as varied and rewarding for your trust, time and effort as possible. None of this can be said for All The Bravest! Assaulting big bads with an army of barely recognizable sprites gets old so fast you'll be bored of the game before it even gets the chance to ask for your money!

There can only be one conclusion. All The Bravest is a travesty that should never have come into existence. Meanwhile Derge of Cerberus is an enjoyable game crafted with love for fans that dig its concept. With this I have pierced all of your statements. Do you have a counterargument??

...


"You're putting way too much effort into this, you know. And still your arguments are full of holes."

Shut up, Bern.

That is a pretty interesting and unique motif. I'm definitely wanting to play it even more now.
