The Slowly-Dying Death of RPG's.

Yeah it is really hard to find sex scenes in most non-Xeno RPGs. Certainly characters in the Suikoden games are sleeping with each other (Teo McDohl/Sonya Shulen, Blue Lightning Flik/Odessa Silverburg, Jowy Blight/Jillia Blight, etc.) but nothing is shown. It is just mentioned.

 

Unless you count Metal Gear Solid 3, which isn't an RPG but has similarities storywise to them.

There's also the Cecil/Rosa thing, which I think was restored in the Chronicles version of FFIV. But it was considered too risque back in the day.

 

I'm fairly sure they more or less came out and said that spoony bard was getting some too.

If there wasn't a red X there, I might remember this part.

Man, I miss the Lunar games. Anything happening with a part 3?

Suikoden also has the always-uncomfortable public hot tub that inevitably winds up in your base of operations.

I know there was one that was heavily implied in Wild Arms 2. I can't really remember the scene much anymore, but basically the lead character and his girlfriend are in her room, and then it cuts out. I can't remember if it is implied from the noises being made from the room, or from a conversation of two other characters as it was supposedly happening, but you pretty much know what they are doing in there. It also had the main villain in an incestuous relationship with his sister, making it one of the weirder RPG's I've played.

Oh yes.

 

      Melville: "Hey. You know, there's...

                There's something I'd like ask you about."

      Rody    : "What?"

      Louis  : "What is it Melville? Why so formal?"

      Melville: "Umm. Listen. Now, this is just between us...

                You know how everyone is supposed to have

                a 'dream person'... Do you?"

      Rody    : "'Dream person'?"

      Melville: "Mmm. This is really only between us.

                I just thought I'd ask."

 

      Louis  : "Mmm, I have one."

      Rody    : "Me too. I've...got one too."

      Melville: "Ah, I see. In fact, I do too."

      Louis  : "Hee hee! Now I want to ask who it is!

                Shall we all say who it is, together?"

      Rody    : "No lying, okay? It'll just be a secret between us,

                all right?"

      Melville: "Absolutely. A secret between the three of us.

                Okay, let's say it!"

      Louis  : "One, two, three."

 

      Melville: "Chris."

      Rody    : "Wan Fu."

      Louis  : "Lady Chris."

      Melville: "..."

      Rody    : "Ho..Hold on a second. No, it's not that!

                I didn't mean it like that! I mean it'd cool to be like

                him some day!"

      Melville: "I-I'll...just hop out of the bath now."

      Rody    : "Hey, I said it's not like that! I didn't mean it like that!

                Melville! I said it's not like that!"

      Louis  : "..."

I've heard rumors about it, but I honestly haven't seen anything substantial--not an official press release, a screenshot, a real title at all since Lunar Legend. I think a few weeks back the rumors started again, but still nothing concrete.

 

I think both Lunars had their drunken leches in the originals--but not familiar with the Japanese versions, obviously. I'm aware Leo was straight as an arrow while in the US Lunar 2 they hint that he may be gay or bi.

 

How could you guys forget the HOT ESPER-ON-HUMAN ACTION in FFVI?

Lunar 3 will come out shortly after Duke Nukem Forever.

A new Lunar game for DS is coming this year.

Doesn't FF7 insinuate that Cloud and Tifa did it the night they reunited at her bar in the Sector 7 Slums?

 

 

OH GOD I'M A LOSER KILL ME NOW

that was just your cosplay fantasy, Czech...how DO you get your blonde lovely hair to do that?

Even though it insuated, it was Cloud. I doubt he'd take her up on the offer. I'm more inclined to believe that Aeris during the trolley ride at the Golden Saucer was the only time he made out with anyone.

[Special K 0]

Yeah FFVII did imply it, but it wasn't too obvious about it.

 

God, going through http://zanyvg.overclocked.org/ , there were some downright ridiculous jokes in the Lunars. 'A woman's guide to recycling volume 6: don't toss that pad?' That's just GROSS.

 

A scan from Arc the Lad's instruction manual. Dear God, working designs.

[Matt Young 0]

LMAO.... That was actually released? Wow.

[Special K 0]

I've got a copy of it myself. Rated Teen to boot.

Yeah, it was implied, but not obvious because they couldn't get away with it. Then again, most people swear that Yuffie was the only girl to get anything from Cloud (that being a kiss). ...which I think is absolutely stupid. And my God it was an absolute bitch to get Yuffie to be Cloud's date.

 

Oh Working Designs makes really fucking horrid jokes. So so bad.

IX is easily my favourite of the PS1 FFs. It was overlooked because it came out with a lot less hype than FFVIII only a year earlier, and it was overshadowed by the PS2 which came out at roughly the same time. If you like FFVI, then you should like FFIX, as we finally return to 4 Character battles and characters with unique jobs (Vivi=Black Mage, Zidane=Thief, etc.). Even if you don't like the story (and I do), the fighting system is far and away the best of the PS1 FFs.

Agreed. I've never understood all the hate FF IX was given. It's a good game with a very good story, certainly better than VIII; and I love how they returned to the roots with the story with direct reference to Final Fantasy I.

[Lightning Flik 0]

FFIX isn't really that great of a storyline. Sure, there's some bright spots, but it generally just didn't feel as grandoise as other Final Fantasys. With at least every Final Fantasy game, I'm overwhelmed by any aspect of the game.

 

This one was just smack of meh. The music is really the worst out of the PS1 games, the storyline was better than FFVIII till you got a certain point (shit, I forget at what point). The graphics while returning to deformite really made me wince because it didn't really make it look that good but rather bad.

 

The only thing I liked about Final Fantasy IX a lot was the FMVs, but even then I liked FFVIII's way more.

Hm. Hey when you guys played did you make Cloud favor Tifa or Aeris? You can guess which I picked

[Ted the Poster 0]

Barret.

Duke Nukem Forever is supposed to actually see the light of day soon after all, though.

FF7 had some pretty disturbing gay moments though...

[AndrewTS 0]

Tifa, Aeris, Yuffie, and Barrett are the possible outcomes.

 

1st time through was Aeris, then 2nd time though I was a total ass and ended up with Yuffie.

[Lightning Flik 0]

You know, some mod should rename this thread to "OAO RPG Thread".

 

Oh and did you know that the next Lunar game, Lunar Genesis is actually going to be 1000 years before Lunar: The Silver Star Story? Oh, and you can even help with the naming of Lunar Genesis.

[Guest CronoT]

I was always perfect to Aeris and an asshole to Tifa.

 

What were the gay moments in FF7? lemme think, tell me what I missed

 

Big Bro, the gay guy at the gym

Cross-dressing Cloud

 

 

it's been a while that's all I remember

[The Niggardly King 0]

There was some place you had to go into during cross dressing Cloud's saga, and all I remember is being stuffed in a hot tub with a group of men.

Tifa and Yuffie were far better characters than Aeris.

 

I think Tifa was actually a particularly great charactar: shy, yet she kicked the crap out of everyone. Too bad during the cutscenes they made the most ridiculous female figure ever.

I was glad when I first heard that Tifa had Blitz techniques, but when the game actually came out, I was pissed that they replaced one of the most fun parts of FFVI, executing the Blitz attacks with fighting game motions, with a A FRIGGIN SLOT MACHINE.

 

And yeah, Aeris was just Terra, not done nearly as well, defrosted and reheated. Which is why I never could really care much about her death.

 

That being said--YUFFIE though?!
