Flare4War Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The hell it's not. The man asked what the deal with the sword was; we answered him. The part he's asking about exists for no other reason than because Japan thinks it's cool. That's what the thread was for, to answer that question, not for you to vent your nerdrage.Incidentally, that's an absolutely retarded thing to get angry over. What, do you think that the video game industry is interfering with your God-given right to quality RPGs by refusing to release a game that lives up to your personal standards of excellence? If you don't like recent RPGs, don't buy them. It's that simple. There's nothing for you to get angry over. Anyway, Crisis Core was released like, what, a year ago? Woe is me, I've gone a whole year without playing the newest "BEST GAME EVAR!!!1". If you go into a game with the attitude "IT MUST CONTAIN X, Y, AND Z" then obviously you're going to be disappointed. Games aren't custom-tailored to your tastes; they're designed to appeal to the widest possible audience. Try going into a game with an open mind and enjoying what's there, rather than hating it because it's not what you want it to be. Have you played Fallout 3? There's an RPG on the 360 (and PS3 and PC) that's generally considered a good game. And hey, the main character's only a pussy if you are! Surely you're up to the challenge. I've heard good things about the storyline, too, though I couldn't tell you any details as I generally try to avoid spoiling that sort of thing for myself. Other good 360 RPGs? Try Eternal Sonata. That was fun -- good characters (none of whom are "pussies and pansies"), unique story, interesting battle system. There, two recommendations. Go forth and enjoy. Or keep bitching; whichever you prefer. But don't expect us to justify your righteous fury because you happen to dislike the new RPGs coming out recently. This is one of if not the funniest rants I've read on these forums. I shit you not I was laughing aloud. Btw, I disagree with you and stuff. I have the best taste in RPGs of anyone in the world. If they made them to my standards everyone would be happy. I should probably mention that all that stuff about me being mad was sarcasm. NJ, we all have our moments but leave PPR at the door when it comes to video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziellink Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Reminds me of Nero from DMC4 who had a sword he could rev up. EDIT: Goddamnit, Dhsu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I personally think that sword looks freaking cool. I don't care if an engine on a blade is the most impractical thing in the world or not. I like it. I'd like to think that it's an engine designed imbue elemental properties on the blade.

TheLeviathan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Just to let you guys who are dissing the gunblade know, there are actual old weapons that exist that are part sword/axe/knife, part gun. The gunblade in FF8 bears a pretty similar resemblance. I was pretty surprised to see a bunch of them in a museum in Europe a couple years ago.

The Author Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Not only that, but a detonating device well placed might actually work at increasing the damage potential of the sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeviathan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Needless to say, I don't believe you. Well here's some random link showing a couple pics of one kind: http://www.ruble-enterprises.com/PFsword.htm There's some proof I guess. The museum had a room full of different kinds, though.

Gollgagh Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 now see, that's a sword with a gun in it that actually fires projectiles the gunblade does no such thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 yeah the idea of a pistol with a knife on it is totally believable and probably somewhat useful gunblade with magic vibrating action is just silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Wolf Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 now see, that's a sword with a gun in it that actually fires projectilesthe gunblade does no such thing I almost feel bad making posts this nerdy anymore, but something continues to compel me. The gunblade is actually one of the more feasible Final Fantasy weapons to bring to the real world. The barrel of the gun IS the blade, and the bullet passes through the 'spine' of the blade - the unsharpened back side. There's a piece of official artwork somewhere that shows the muzzle of the gun exiting where the gunblade curves down to a point. It would be entirely possible to implement such a thing, but it would be mostly senseless to try to use both functions at once. It would also pretty much require a cutaway of the blade in the hilt area so you could stabilize it on your arm and aim with it. It wouldn't be the most sensible of weapons, but it's totally possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how that would work, but I've never seen this artwork, and I'm going off of the ingame explanation of how it works. I don't remember it saying anywhere that it actually fires projectiles; Squall's gunblades at any rate. I am aware that Seifer's gunblades do fire projectiles, however. edit: actually, now that I think about it, this difference was detailed ingame (I think, it's been a few years since I played it and my discs are screwed up now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The pretty-boy aesthetic is getting SO tiresome! It's been there all along; it's only that the hardware is good enough now to show it in all its androgynous glory. (You've seen concept art for early FF games, haven't you? It's freaking hideous.) Also! In a game that involves witches, magical creatures that let you pretend to be witches, the ability to possess people in the past, giant flightless yellow birds used as beasts of burden, monsters that jump off the moon to invade the planet every so often, and TIME KOMPRESSION (among other things), I find it hilarious that the gunblade thing is such a sticking point.

Gollgagh Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 which is why I still think magical water swords are more ridiculous than a gunblade. also the buster sword because it's the size of a damned plane wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
