*trudges in, dragging her feet*
Long day. Walked from train station. Found out the Counterburst Forums are shutting down because the moderator is frustrated. Now I’m depressed and need to inflict MUCH GRIEVOUS HARM to AI opponents to vent, and get a glass of icy cold cream!tea.
MEANWHILE HAVE A MEME.
I’ve got lots of these. Some of them are shippy, and some of them are just lulzy.
WoL should have had more interaction with Lightning in this game. I know the two were joined at the incredibly sexy hip in Prologus, but the point is I’d like to have seen more of that.
Keeping on Mr. Snookie Pie here, he should have also had interaction with Shantotto. Why? Because, during ???: Shards of the Cycle, there’s some serious creepy potential there:
Shantotto: And one who appears here without being called? The perfect test subject to keep me enthralled!
Who knows, maybe it’ll show up in an official quest and someone will translate for us.
Or I’ll wind up stuck here one day, unable to get to work because the elevators are down and I can’t handle the stairs AND walking to the train station, and do it myself. Problem is I can’t think of anything suitably creepy enough here…AND THAT’S A NEAT TRICK.
We needed more Vaan & Zidane. Two thieves running around? Hell yeah, sign me up.
Laguna and WoL. Why? JUST BECAUSE. It’d be like a So Bad It’s Good comedy routine.
And on that note, we needed some interaction with both of them along with Jecht.
…gee, I make WoL sound like he’s antisocial or something.
You know, let’s just say this: WE NEED MORE OF EVERYTHING PLZ.
STAIRS ARE AND ALWAYS SHALL BE THE ENEMY! *shakes fist*
Date: 2011-07-15 09:58 pm (UTC)We needed some sexydad interaction like...um...a metaphor that exemplifies just how neccesary it was!
I'd have like to have seen either some Kuja and WoL interaction or some 013!Kuja and ONION KNIGHT interaction. I know this sounds insane but hear me out: Onion Knight and Kuja are both the resident 'runts' of their team and Kuja is in many ways a proud yet scared child trying to be clever and self-assured and kind of failing due to not taking the bigger picture into account. Who do we know that's also like that? I'd have liked to see THAT dynamic play out. As for WoL and Kuja, well they share many similarities in terms of background; both are artificial lifeforms created as adults and built specifically to kill though both stray from their original purpose and take up their own path in life. Both are products of their enviroment but whilst WoL was found by Prishe and given an opportunity to shine (no pun intended...okay maybe...) Kuja had no saviour until 24 years later when Zidane offered him a helping hand and grew up selfish, cruel and alone. I'd actually prefer 012!Kuja or post013!Kuja to have interaction with WoL best...it would be a very strange but ultimately rewarding relationship I reckon.
Also we needed Kefka and Laguna action. And Lightning with Ultimecia. Just imagine the sparks that would've flown!
AGREED. HAET STAIRS.
Date: 2011-07-15 10:32 pm (UTC)YOU RAISE POINTS! That would have been interesting to see. It's almost enough to summon crack bunnies *AND WHERE THE HELL ARE MY MUSES WTF.* Both of them think they know everything…and totally don't. XD
I LIKE PUNS, FOR THE RECORD. And this interaction…GAH I like the idea and GODS DAMN MY DERPY MUSES. I gotta buy that PSN card so I can download this thing. I ain't writing until I have a solid grasp on Thongboy. Replacing my phone ATE my profits.
THOSE STEEP BASTARDS! D:<
Date: 2011-07-15 10:49 pm (UTC)Really I would've liked to see Kuja interact with almost anyone - he's such a complex character but I think WoL and Onion Knight would've been some of the more interesting takes. Firion too due to both sharing a rebellious nature but whilst Firion is pure of heart and a noble spirit, Kuja is anything but pure and only a noble in Treno. Also I'd have liked some Kuja and Sephiroth interaction (I played the first bit of Sephy's quest - Kuja mentions that this is the first time he's seen this world but Sephiroth believes otherwise. And Emperor talks in a lot of kanji I can't understand) because...well I could go into a long ramble about how Kuj and Seph are polar opposites especially in how Seph started off as a good man and yet cast aside his humanity to become a god whilst Kuja started off as an inhumane sociopath that believed he could be a god only to eventually gain humanity and yearn to redeem himself - but I won't.
ONLY I MAY HAVE A SOLID GRASP OF THONGBOY - I CALLED DIBS! (Bugger - and still a week to go for the new phone too? Ugh.)
*Throws on an extra pot*
Date: 2011-07-15 11:02 pm (UTC)And that last bit went over my head, so I'm just gonna pull a second puppy!eyes 'IMMA SOWWEY' and hope that covers it? XDIF YOUR EAR DOES NOT IMPROVE SHORTLY I WILL THREATEN IT WITH…*leafs through torture book* …scratch that, I got nothing.)
This ramble is actually relevant to my interests.
AS FOR THE SOLID GRASP OF THONGBOY THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAID.
That phone better be in soon. The backup I've been loaned is dying too!
This is why we need Cid Highwind in Dissidia!
Date: 2011-07-15 11:21 pm (UTC)*straps ramble goggles on*
Well I've always been somewhat agaisnt the Sephiroth/Kuja pairing (unless it's non-con becuase at least then it's IC for both of them) in that they both hold extremely different ideals and come from opposite ends of the spectrum so to speak. As I mentioned in the previous post, Sephiroth starts out good and ends up bad whilst Kuja is the reverse. Then there's the lengths they will go to in regards to their goals:
Sephiroth is willing to serve his 'mother' and do what he believes is her bidding. (Whilst there is of course the argument over whether it's him controlling Jenova or vice-versa the point still stands that he is following her to some degree) Also he is perfectly willing to sacrifice pieces of himself such as his humanity or even parts of his psyche according to Lifestream Black to achieve his goals because he cares more about
screwing with Cloudthe end result than himself.Kuja on the other hand is someone who was created to be a servant and vehemently despises anyone attempting to control his life - he believes that since it's his life he should take charge of it and no one else. He treasures his sentience and his soul above all else and would never dream of doing anything that would threaten them, even if it were to help him attain his goals. (However at the end of FFIX and 012 he has matured a bit so that he will sacrifice his needs and possibly himself for the greater good - but he still places high emphasis on being independent to the point of rejecting help from Zidane during Shade Impulse)
I could go on but the brain shaking has kind of made me forget how to make a good argument.
Hope the new phone comes ASAP.
If he was in the Dissidia Universe would implode from the combined MANLINESS of him, Kain, and Jecht
Date: 2011-07-15 11:55 pm (UTC)FIRST OF ALL, if this is you NOT making a good argument, then I HAVE THE FEAR NAO KTHXBAI.
You know, I never thought of it like that: I mean I never thought of Sephiroth as serving anyone, but now that you've brought up that point, it all makes more sense. Now that I think about that comparison, I get the feeling that Kuja would be absolutely disgusted with such a thing. …on the off chance that during one of those non-con encounters, I can totally see him flipping that around. It would be difficult to mess with Sephy, but—and I'm grasping here—considering what finding out what he was did to him in Nibelheim…before he went batshit and torched the joint, at any rate…a pull from just the right place in the storyline could set Kuja up for some serious mindfuckery…
I've overthought that. Never mind that ramble there.
And the whole dependency/independent thing, too—Kuja carries it to such extremes, doesn't he?
MAIL UPDATE: OH HAI, UNACTIVATED, UNREGISTERED NEW-TECHNOLOGY BUT REFURBISHED PHONE! YOU GET TURNED ON TOMORROW! …you know, once I get all of this damn tape and bubble-wrap out of the picture. YAY for pleasant surprises!
…that sounded wrong…
...Why do I have this is an icon?
Date: 2011-07-16 12:16 am (UTC)Oh the mindfuck-fu potential!
Kuja: Dear Sephiroth, take a look at the strings entangling your limbs. It is you who is the 'puppet' in all of this.
Sephiroth: What would a creature created in a labratory know?
Kuja: *lip curls* More than one that clings to his mother ever so tightly. How is she by the way? Does she greet you with adoration when you accomplish her goals- oh no wait of course not, I forgot you were her servant in all this.
Sephiroth: Mother is-
Kuja: A fantasy concocted by your own delusions of grandeur. Come off it, Sephiroth, you don't truly seek the promised land. What would you do with it? Do you even have a plan beyond your mother's whims?
Sephiroth: Hmph. Do you even have a purpose beyond being a puppet?
Kuja: Oh Sephiroth, the strings are not transparent! Recognize them before it is too late and they secure a garrot around your neck.
Hmmm...
YAYS!!!
Wh—there isn't more!?

Tifa: Um...no thanks.
Zidane: *sad!face*

I could write crack based on those things alone.

Date: 2011-07-15 10:53 pm (UTC)...This has potential.
The scary thing is how much potential
Date: 2011-07-15 11:11 pm (UTC)And this is a good time for "Uh...go easy on me, would ya, Light?"
Lightning's got potential but it's nothing compared to Tifa's...
Date: 2011-07-15 11:30 pm (UTC)Hooded Girl: "Is there something on my face?"
Zidane: "Oh, no. You see... I just thought you were the one I'd been waiting for all this time."
Hooded Girl: "Excuse me? You were waiting for me?"
Zidane: "Yeah! I've dreamt of meeting you here ever since I was born!"
Hooded Girl: "Do you mock me?"
Zidane: "No, of course not..."
Hooded Girl: "Then, I shall take my leave of you!"
Zidane: "Just a sec! Haven't we met before?"
Hooded Girl: "No, I do not know you..."
Zidane: "Hmm... Maybe you're right... I'd never let someone as pretty as you get away. Say, you wouldn't--"
Blank: "Hey, what's goin' on, Zidane?"
Or later:
Lani: "I've been looking for you, Princess Garnet."
Zidane: "H-Have we met?"
Dagger: "(Quit flirting with her!)"
Zidane: "(Yes, ma'am...)"
I blame Zidane for turning me into a mega perv:
Zidane: "We were gonna put you to sleep with sleeping weed, then kidnap you. It's mostly used for kids, but a big dose can knock out an adult just as easily."
Dagger: "I guess you didn't need it, since I came along on my own. Hey... Would you mind giving me some? I've had a hard time sleeping lately."
Zidane: "Um, I don't think that's a good idea. You might get addicted. Maybe all you need is some company, eh?"
Dagger: "Oh, please. Do you think I'm that naive?"
Zidane: "Heh, heh. Can't blame me for trying."
Dagger: "......"

Date: 2011-07-15 11:51 pm (UTC)get him under contract at his new strip clubget him to work under him...wait.It wouldn't have worked but he'd have tried damn hard to mess with his head over the whole betrayal issue and all.
Also slapping Emperor on the backside in Japanese is hilarious. Especially if you're using Zidane.
Did it sound less wrong in your head?
Date: 2011-07-16 12:03 am (UTC)Try to get him to work under him.
Try to get him to turn to his side.
Try to force the dragoon to kneel before
Zodhis throne.Try to dominate him.
Really, with Mateus around, EVERYTHING can be an innuendo.
If nothing else it would have messed with him, especially if it happened right before OR after he
sent Cecil to the Bad Touch Roomput Cecil down for his little nap. Take your pick—Sir Highwind's mind would be the perfect storm of angst.…wait, WHAT?
What is this?
I don't even—WAIT, I DO EVEN! What is going on over there in Voice PornLand?
No...
Date: 2011-07-16 12:24 am (UTC)Hmm...so far I don't think there's a quest that covers Cecil's fate but I'll have to check. Problem is I have to level up everyone to something like the 80s just to win the battles. (Level 7 Sephiroth vs Level 85 Firion. For all the bragging Seph made about how he'd take them on 1-3 he really was all talk) I'm still hoping one of Chaos' team actually got to him first because Kain Highwind has been dealt enough angst already!
Yes. He makes this tired old "Orh!" if you hit him right, that sounds verrrry...well it sounds like something only Ultimecia should hear. Speaking of which she moans strangely when Ziddy smacks her ass too. Zidane has the magic touch, yo! (I kid, it's the same for everyone who hits them but since I'm only using Zid at the moment...)
A POINT: You haz it
Date: 2011-07-16 12:34 am (UTC)CALLING 'NOT IT' RIGHT NOW, since I still haven't finished the Gilgamesh quest I've been working on XD
It's never too much angst. You only hit there when the cutie/bishie has a catatonic spell…or maybe I'm just evil. Who knows?
I've been playing with a good pair of Sennheiser headphones lately. Some characters are especially distracting right now. (I'M LOOKING AT YOUUUUU, GABRANTH…and Kain…and also WoL for that relatively uncommon "D'nngh!" sound that is just DISTRACTING.) I can only imagine the glory you're hearing right now, though.
Uh…SMACK DAT ASS, ZIDDY?
I haz an icon for that!
Date: 2011-07-16 12:44 am (UTC)Mebbe... I love it when S-E just about beats Kuja to the floor with misery (Japanese report 01 has Kefka practically SHRIEKING THEY RAN AWAY!!! into Kuja's ears) so maybe they'll do the same to a real man. (Kuja's so adorable when he suffers. *totally doesn't try to get the CPU to wall-smash him in Japanese so she can hear his adorable little whimper*)
Well now that I've got 75% hearing... *gets out earphones* There are still a few english voices I seriously miss (LIKE A REAL MAN FOR A START!!!) but some of the japanese ones make it feel like a decent trade off. Japanese!Cloud is very distracting... Oh man, Japanese!Cloud... listening to him and Kuja in report 01 is some very lovely fanservice. I swear the voice actors had a bet to see who could flirt with their microphone more...
HE NEEDS TO EQUIP A PADDLE!!!
Japanese!Cloud…
