How Rude, Kupo.
Jan. 22nd, 2019 12:22 pmPokémon Go was the only mobile game I'd previously played, but ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jecca_mehlota mentioned Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, and I thought I'd check it out. It's not that heavy on the story - it's designed to be consumed in small bursts, so both cutscenes and battles are brief - but it does have some cute interactions between assorted Final Fantasy characters, and characters from different Final Fantasy games interacting is something I have a huge weakness for. Here are some things I've liked:
- Cloud reminds Sazh of Lightning. 'Looks like other worlds also have their fair share of strongheaded soldiers who take on way too much alone.'
- Hope giving Vivi reassurance and courage and then being taken aback when Vivi says 'thanks, mister!' (Hope, being fourteen, probably isn't used to being called 'mister'; Vivi, being nine, probably doesn't think anything of addressing him that way.)
- Vaan running up to go HEY YOU GUYS HAVE A REALLY COOL AIRSHIP and Sazh going 'finally someone gets it!'
- 'I don't like the look of you. You remind me too much of... someone I know,' Seifer says to Cloud.
- SEIFER WANTS TO BE YUNA'S KNIGHT. You should have been born in the Final Fantasy X universe, Seifer; being a guardian would really suit you! Well, I mean, you'd like the idea of it. You wouldn't necessarily be good at it. But you'd like the idea.
- Everyone goes 'hey, Seifer, come with us and save the world' and Seifer goes 'no, screw you, I'm going on ahead of you and I'm going to save the world first.' Seifer's the worst and I love him.
- Zidane: (speaking of Yuffie) Must've been hard to work with someone as flighty and brash as her.
Cloud: Yeah. She's just like you.
A story detail I found interesting: they come across ruins and assume people had to have lived here at some point, and Mog explains that, no, this world was constructed based on their various worlds, so these ruins were just... built as ruins, without history behind them. There's something fascinatingly creepy about that.
The Kingdom Hearts Let's Play we've been watching as a household has just hit 358/2 Days, and my housemates can't get over the fact that every member of Organization XIII seems to be flirting non-stop with Roxas.
Ginger: It's not helping that the 'dialogue advancement' icon is a literal fucking heart.
Axel: (to Roxas) You have to look around. Sometimes what you're after is sitting right under your nose.
Rei and Ginger: OH COME ON.
Rei, who is gay and always on the lookout for queer fiction, is increasingly outraged that the Kingdom Hearts series is not considered a staple of gay culture. 'Nobody ever told me how gay these games are! You've all failed me!'
