Is there a way to do an NPC love interstate without it being weird?

> interstate
Now that's a weird way of spelling this word. Also, it's perfectly possible, but I'm just gonna bet that you won't be able to pull it off, OP.

>>49550591
Yes

>>49550591
You don't introduce the NPC as a love interest.

If the players show interest in an NPC you take it from there. React to them, but don't force them into action.

Do you want to sit and extensively roleplay as your buddy's girlfriend/love interest?

If so, then no it might not be weird, because you might be gay for your buddy. Go for it, maybe you'll discover something about yourself

>>49550591
Interstate? Dude relationships are hard enough when they're not long distance. Of course, any adventurer marriage is going to be like this if it's with a stay-at-home spouse.

This. It's why if my characters have any kind of love interest they're probably dead, called off the relationship, or an enemy before the story begins.

That part of the plot where Cloud and company are straight-up terrorists is going to be a lot more interesting to read about when the mainstream media gets a hold of it.

I wonder if they'll even have the balls to make you do the part where Cloud crossdresses, or if playing along will just be a suggestion.

>>49550591
Keep it brief, which is a good idea anyway because the only thing more awkward than an extended romance roleplay between a GM and a player is the silence from the other unlucky bastards at the table trapped at the table with them.

There is a lot of material that people would call highly-questionable in FFVII. I doubt that half of it will make it in, and suspect that anything which does make it in will be watered down as hell.

Square Enix knows they're going worldwide with the game. They know the West has very different views, culturally, from Japan. I expect them to cater specifically to those differing cultural views, despite the fact the game is being made because of Nostalgia.

They're probably going to cut out the most questionable shit, make Barret a less blatant black man stereotype, and water down the content they can't straight-out cut.

Hell, they've already retconned some stuff. In FFVII, Zack gets shot in the back (which wounds him) and then point-blank executed by two regular Shinra soldiers and one Shinra officer who then leave Cloud's retarded ass for dead, and then Crisis Core upgraded that to a heroic last-stand against an army and a pretty "you'll be my legacy" speech to Cloud as he was dying.

One of the strengths of the original game was what it did with character archetypes. Barret started off as a stereotypical angry black man will to resort to domestic terrorism to change the world, but you see very quickly that he cares for his daughter and his team mates. As the game progresses he sees how much his actions have harmed instead of helped and goes from being a self assured leader type to being able to see his own flaws and conceding leadership to Cloud because of it. His new outfit is a lot better as well.

Worried about Genesis being shoehorned into the story somehow. Never liked him.

I decided I liked Snow when I found out that you could overpower his physical attack so that his launch attack is also a one-hit KO.

So if he's set up right, he'll just walk up to enemies, uppercut them into the fucking sky, and then move on to uppercut another motherfucker into the sky. The best part of this is that while the enemy animations acknowledge that he's launching them, the camera does not, and thus doesn't move.

You don't see the enemies fly up and then disintegrate, you just see them fly up and not come down. Ever.

Between that and the fact he rides a motorcycle where he's literally sitting on two women scissoring when he summons his Eidolon, and the fact the staff nicknamed him "Mr. 33CM" (for his "shoe" size) and he convinced a girl who barely tops 5'4" to ride that every night, he's the most balling motherfucker to be stuck in that POS game.

Hell, Troy Baker made him sound badass instead of like a pussy, even though he gets bitchslapped left and right by Lightning.

Pic related. He made it look easy to look manly as a Square Enix character.

yes, don't get specific about it and make it as big a joke as possible.

To be fair even in CC, those are just made into last three surviving soldiers. The army as a whole gunned down Zack and the final dude put a bullet between his eyes point-blank.
It's just that being a SOLDIER, he's largely bulletproof, and this only served to give him a large degree of internal bleeding that he'd slowly succumb to, rather than any external wounds causing immediate death.

>>49558820
Which is fine, but CC contradicts FFVII by, you know, having Zack die slowly. In the flashback (which I cannot believe is optional when Barret and Red XIII/Nanaki's bullshit is mandatory) Zack straight up gets shot, point-blank, in the face and his corpse left to rot while they leave Cloud's retarded ass to die in the wasteland.

FFVII's version of Zack's death and CC's version don't jive together at ALL.

>>49559018
Again, he gets shot point blank in CC too. They just expand, rather than contradict; essentially, after laying motionless for a bit after the shot (some time clearly passes in the CC cutscene), he comes to for just a moment to pass on his legacy to Cloud, and then dies.

>>49559098
Dude, CC vs FFVII Zack's Death doesn't square up remotely unless you're willing to call Zack being offscreen while some sound effects play for a few seconds a remotely acceptable substitute for the final battle of CC.

Which, you know, is not.

>>49559137
Again, an expansion rather than a contradiction. We don't see the battle in FFVII because, ultimately, it's a meaningless battle between people we don't care about at the time. (And obviously in real-world terms it wasn't written.)
It does not contradict anything, however. Just because there was a huge battle beforehand does not change the result of Zack being put down by the last 3 infantry and then shot in the skull.

>>49550591

Why does Snow not have his own spin-off game?

My sister plays a male fighter and fell in love with this lady knight in town which I have to roleplay. So me, the brother, roleplays the girl, while she, my sister, roleplays the guy and we act out romantic scenes.

It's weird.

Why are Yuffie's pants undone? Wouldn't that increase the risk of them slipping and hindering her ninjaesque movements? Heck, from what I can see they only have a zipper and no button, even if she did up the zipper again it'd be undone within minutes of normal use. What the fuck is wrong this artist's problem? Looking more closelsy, do her pants even HAVE a zipper? It actually looks like there's only fabric there. He gave Aerith buttons and Tifa a belt, so is clearly aware of various means of keeping pants and other clothes on. So why the fuck does Yuffie get shafted here? Wardrobe malfunctions are arguably even worse for ninjas than they'd be for brawlers or healers. I bet the DM is some grognard who hates everything "weeaboo" and claims it's just for "balance reasons" that the ninja's player has to roll a save against losing their pants every time they attack or want to do anything actually.

Fuck I'm mad! This is why roleplaying is going down the drain. Back in my day we'd play our prerolled loli catgirls and enjoy it!

I remember seeing a greentext one time about a Five Rings player who had an NPC wife pushed on him as a negative bonus. Ugly as sin and very macho, hence the arranged marriage.

If I remember correctly, he left her to take care of his estate while he did plot things, and ended up receiving a letter from another house that his wife had thrown some important fellow out on his arse for a minor disagreement. This repeated a few times so she ended up joining the party, which is when he found out she drinks like a sailor and snores like a drunken sailor, the latter getting so bad he has her sleep in a separate room to him. Cue an assassin attack during the night, wherein the player was saved by his wife because she'd been keeping watch over him, nearly dying in the process and endearing herself to the player. I wish I had it on me now, it was a pretty good story.
