#conversational cutscenes

[travelling-hydaelyn]

Ardbert clearly having the time of his life (in spite of complaining that Thancred is not being very sporting)

#or time of his death to be technically correct #I have had a theory that of the 3 WoL dialogue options at conversation branches #The first option is the most 'ardbert' and the bottom is the most 'fray' #that's ardbert while he was alive of course #the point is #ardbert seeks the pleasure of fighting for its own sake and no other reason #lamitt doing the silent callout because they have Serious Business #there is a LOT going on in this entire cutscene #I always forget Thancred fought in-his-prime-Ardbert #ffxiv #ffxiv spoilers #heavensward #ffxiv: heavensward #ffxivedit #gamingedit #lamitt #ardbert #thancred #thancred waters

What was that? I don't know what that was. If you feel it again— you will tell me. I will.

Grabbed this one and shared it in discord, but I will share it here too because in terms of voice acting and animations, I feel like this scene is not talked about enough! I love him so much, your honor. 🥺🖤

the audacity this man has to say "fixing act 2" when fucking tacked on thaniel's bullshit was shoehorned into act 2 but Ketheric being recruitable was axed. But you know, because they care so much about making a good game you can pinpoint exactly where they jankily cut Ketheric's recruitment out because you can still persuade him and then it just fucking snaps into the railroading and he'll have complete personality shifts during both his boss fights. Are you kidding me..........................

#tbd #anyway lifting the shadowcurse should've been just tied to aylin or something idk bro #you visually see her freedom's effect on the land in the cutscene #you see the shadow curse shrinking away from her passing. #conversely isobel's magic completely fucking fails if shadowheart kills aylin #and you see thaniel himself doing...oh that's right. fuck all. #he does fuck all. fuck him. fuck that entire storyline. #and it's far more thematically appropriate for the solution to be derived from selune. #given that the conflict between shar and selune is built into the bones of that area. it's the history. #sorry i will shut up #there are so many other things i could name #that shouldn't have been in this game if ketheric was left on the cutting floor to make room for it #but look at act 2 alone #all those resources on this boring ass nature demon were better used somewhere else #larian critical #bg3 critical

heat def the kind of guy who just wanders off after enough drinks

#serph and argilla just like having a normal conversation at the bar when one of them is like hold on. where did heat go #cut to him like running down the street 3 blocks away #gotta cancel the whole night to find him and bring him home #after that last cutscene where he runs off and then joins your party the second you walk out the door im just imagining argilla #grabbing him by the back of his stupid cape like HOLD YOUR HORSES MISTER

"What do they know? Surprisingly little, it turns out. After everything we built... I never thought it would come to this."

#deathloop #i love taking screenshots that seem like stills from a cutscene #i wish so bad we had cutscenes #the seance and the conversation(s) with wenjie are almost like cutscenes but like......... cinematics you know?? that's what i'm after #egor serling

I think what bugs me with TotK's Ganondorf, beyond the uhhh everything here and here, is that... This version, the reintroduction of this character after 17 years of patient conversations, tries so super hard to kill any ambiguity he once possessed? I have come across many posts here, on youtube and elsewhere that focus on, just, settling down the flicker of doubt and complexity that could have been extracted as: no, he was just an evil prick all along without any depth and layers, and those who saw anything more were both wrong and manipulated.

(which could have been absolutely great if the gerudos' perspective had been centered as his first victims and how exactly that played out for them tbh --but here it just feels... I don't know, patronizing, a little bit? It's not like people hallucinated these elements, they were present in the text and resonated with people in a way that wasn't cynical at the time)

Again: obviously the fandom will do something cool with ambiguity regardless, but... I don't know, I want the media I consume to be interesting and layered also? I'm not saying TotK should not have him be evil (I think it's good that he is, I was dreading the redemption arc personally), but just... maintain the doubt? keep the conversation going? especially since it kind of condemns any further apparitions as a variation on this one-note interpretation of the character (which I think will get stale pretty fast), and also retroactively tries to reinterpret his previous iterations in the same breath. I think it's partially why I'm a little hostile to this version, even beyond its role in the narrative: Zelda is great when it reinvents its characters, but I'm not fond of sweeping statements that try to simplify the entire canon of the series for the benefit of the hylian heroes and their absolutely undisputable moral purity (and everything it implies).

I don't know, I think I'm just a little sad for what could have been.

#thoughts #totk #totk critical #totk spoilers #ganondorf #zelda meta #me grumbling #(AGAIN I know I'm sorry :((( ) #I think the combo of gleeful flattening + extreme sexualization makes me go a little gngngn as well #(not that I blame anyone far from me the thought it's just... the combo of the two) #it's not a big deal at the end of the day #but I waited the whole 17 years like manually #I was but a wee teenager the last time I saw this guy #and... I don't know I don't think future zelda content wins from taking that decision? #+ writing all over past interpretations feels a little :/ to me as well #totk kind of wants to have its cake and eat it too in that regard #(again I don't count all the conversations on imperialism as ambivalence or nuance as they are not textual imo) #(like if you watch the cutscenes it's just... not that ambitious storywise)

[zombiepatch]

apparently my parents are gonna see if the fallout tv show is any good and ngl it was a bit surreal to be sitting there explaining basic fallout lore to my parents who were genuinely nodding along with interest and asking questions LMFAO???

#miles txt #folks i think i can get my dad to play new vegas >:))) #i used the conversation topic to show off the intro loredump + cutscene and he was like ''i might have to play that'' #like YESSSS <- sickos

any hopes for kiwami 3? like things u wanna see added or changed stuff like that

if they dont keep kiryu's goofy walk stance and the hoof-like walk sounds i dont wanna play it

#snap chats #no one understands how much i love that from y3 and y4 its genuinely one of my favorite things about the game #oh but i guess i have to give an actual answer now. HMPH. #id scream if they revived kanda calling mine limp wristed. homophobia in 4k #OK BUT TO BE SERIOUS uhhhh i dont know. im a real simple guy i think #my only like. If This Isnt There Im Leaving deal is mine's palette and im so serious #rgg's scaring me with all the black-hair/purple-suit mine stuff as of late and i cant stress how hard ill vomit if thats in the final #HYPOTHETICAL final anyways. yk3 isnt coming out for. IDK A WHILE #i wanna say i hope they highlight daigo and mine's relationship more but i dont know how theyd do that #i really like how mine's handled in y3 as is so i dont think i want scenes injected like what they did with yk1 and nishiki #someone said a Mine Saga after the game and... hm ... sounds too unrealistic for me to hope for it #like im REALLY trying to think how they could possibly reference the rggo stories in y3 since those are EXCELLENT but #i think . MAYBE. you could reference the story where richardson calls mine as he's driving to the hospital #the only thing you'd have to exclude though is mine stopping by the bar- like JUST keep the phone conversation maybe #cause in that scene that subordinate does question mine if he can really kill daigo and i think thatd be neat. in my opinion. #yeah i dont know. in regards to rggo its hard to think of what i want without intervening things i already like about y3 #its a real head scratcher ... #a really good epilogue addition would be adapting that RGGO bit where daigo ruminates on mine. that's a fair ending for him i think #it also fulfills the need to see how daigo saw mine even if its just a little #and to non-rggo readers it could start to answer 'how does daigo feel about everything that happened' #im still so curious as to if daigo was briefed on EVERYTHING that happened but .... anyways.... #sorry all my hopes for y3 are just mine/minedai centric fLVKELKA BUT LIKE. i really am content with everything else with y3 surprisingly #idk. i want kiryu fucking up that curry in high definition tho. thats important to me #THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE QTES DURING THE RICHARDSON FIGHT ILL BE PISSED #i need the fight to be AS CAMPY and unnecessary as it was in the og. INCLUDING richardson's voice acting i need it wack as hell #is it weird i actually appreciate the Diet Building Loredumping being like. in replayable-cutscene form #i thought id prefer just One Long cutscene but im glad theres the option to skip those segments #BUT being able to get a refresher in case you missed something somehow #im running out of tags jesus christ i shouldve put this in the main text but vjALjlagj those are all my thoughts for now bYE

i very recently learnt that during the morikaze fight inside the mdcr building if he hits you with absolute zero (his special move, the one that gets the cut-in) on the first turn he says 「ほんの挨拶だ。再会を祝して、な。」 and ive roughly translated it as "that was simply a greeting. we should celebrate our reunion, don't you think?" and i keep thinking about it because of course he's the type of guy to blast you with a scary magic attack and then say that kind of shit

#i remember before the fight starts when you initiate conversation he says like “well i'm glad you remembered me” #i hate him so much................... (lying) #i should go properly translate all of his lines sometime. except the ones from That Part of That Cutscene but #mo4 #marikinonline4 #morikaze #morikaze mo4 #gou kirimi #kirimi mo4 #i guess? #taton's art #i also guess?? these are shitposts

Kson asked if I wanted to shower with her and then I got the platinum achievement

#she platinum on my Joryu till I spider wire is this anything #like a dragon gaiden #the live action hostesses weren't too bad but praise cyricz for the conversation answers to speed it up #kokoro was fun to hang with and kei/kson has a demented edge that isn't fully realized until her last scene #I watched some of her translated streams with ai and she's delightfully unhinged #also during the RGG English stream last night she made everyone do the 'ogasawara pose' together during one of the longest Y7 cutscenes #it was hysterical #my bisexual ass might be showing a little here

[ohsotragical]

i never actually got the ‘how would you like to be killed’ cutscene with astarion in my playthrough i’m working through, yet i saw it and i’m still sitting here with my heart in pieces bc it’s literally just “i know too well what it’s like to not be controlling my own mind and if it comes to that, neither of us want that, right? you kill me and i’ll kill you, right? because i’d rather die than be controlled again and i’d rather kill you than let you become something that could control me”, isn’t it? like. i could be wrong and dramatic but…that’s what he’s saying, right?

#bg3 #baldur’s gate #astarion bg3 #astarion #ive missed more than half the cutscenes i swear #and its not like i dont rest?? like there have been so many nights where i get no conversation whatsoever from the characters
