Cloud gets weirdly verbose-blunt when I'm tired. Is this a problem?

That's a term now.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Due to the shoddy translation and the fact that he was little more than a puppet with Zack's brainwaves and shit through the first half of the game it's sort of hard to capture his almost-nonexistent speech patterns.

Actually quite like it. The dialogue has sort of an Eva-feel to it, which is especially nice for now.

Typed this, looked at it, realised it was a tiredramble.

The most clues I have for how he talks are that he uses "ore wa" in the Japanese, and that he swears all the goddamn time, but then again it's FFVII. Everyone swears in FFVII. Other than that, it swings wildly back and forth from everywhere between super formal to slang and odd contractions.

Actually, that's another thing that bugs me. It's VII. Everyone swears in VII, because Square was eager to start flexing their "WE DON'T WORK FOR NINTENDO ANYMORE LOOK HOW NOT-FAMILY FRIENDLY WE ARE" muscles the minute they transferred to developing for Sony. And ACC was very firmly PG-13 for violence and goo-vomiting, so they had the go-ahead to curse up a blue streak.

And who gets the one swearword in the entire, surprisingly clean movie?

The fucking ten year-old. Not Cid. Denzel.

This doesn't make me mad, because whatever, it's swearing and the whole thing was attrociously written anyway, but it does baffle me they way it was used. Why him? Granted, that outburst of anger was the most convincing and spoken by the best actor in it (not saying much considering the rest of the cast was not trying at allnote ), but it's just... bizarre. Cloud finds his girlfriend/fiance/fuckbuddy/whatever beaten and bleeding and realises his kids have been kidnapped? A quiet, barely audible "damn". Kadaj goes on his badly written crazy-rant? Nothing. Cid shows up on screen, period? Nothing.

It's like a reverse Shadow the Hedgehog. Only instead of trying to inject swearing into a title that never had it before in places it doesn't belong for the sake of making it edgy, they take all the swearing from a title that had zero qualms about basically everything except "fuck" and "cunt" from places it should have been in order to... something?

Except for just one instance out of nowhere spoken by the kid when the rest of the movie is devoid of it.

Huh???

Though to said kid's credit, as mentioned before, he's basically the only good performance in it, which is uncommon for shitty spinoff child actors. The rest of the cast was mediocre to adequate, and Mena Suvari as Aeristhsthstsh and whoever the fuck played Loz clearly gave no fucks at all.

Oh, and George Newbern, but then he's George Newbern, and all he had to do was sound aloof and intimidating for ten minutes.

You know in FFX where John Di Maggio was the big name in that cast, and yet he somehow wound up the worst, most annoying one? It feels kind of like that.

Maybe it was just bad directing. I've heard that can do that to people with talent.

Oh, Spaz, a bad director can suck the life out of any performance.

Especially voice acting. The voice actor rarely gets to pick which take gets used.

Maybe.

I'm not gonna pretend he's Lawrence Olivier or anything, but... this is what we could have gotten.

And this is also what we could have gotten.

Someone take away their goddamn Ambien.

so you're doing the plot thing again?

so far i predict chibi's fourth plot will be chosen

simply because it seems like the most violent and depressing of them all and you people get boners over that

To be fair, the RP has at least as many adventure romps as it does dark and dramatic plots.

People vote for whichever they're in the mood for.

Indeed they do.

Speaking of the plots, It would be under my preference if we can start, whomever it is that's the GM, next Friday since by then I'll be completely done with exams plus all of my stuff will have been moved over here.

It's just a thing that I need to mention, although it'll be fine if it starts earlier, just expect me to be late or something.

So question.

How would you guys feel about making an OC for a plot?

Already got a list to choose from, unless you want a brand new one specifically.

I am talking about a new one. Though you may be able to adapt some of your ideas to it.
