ITT: OH SHIT THAT'S ACTUALLY CANON Shit that is either

MGS 4 is canon. Complete atrocity. Behead all MGS 4 defenders.

No one considers it canon, even the Japanese fanbase hated it. I think Square-Enix just wants to forget about.

>>386901179
Is that the novel where Tidus comes back to life after the events of Final Fantasy X, his personality is changed drastically, make a bunch of dick jokes and Yuna start getting fed up with him? Then later on Tidus sees a "blitzball", kicks it, it explodes and his head flies away and lands right in front of Yuna? After all of this is when X-2 takes place?

What's confusing is FFX actually has a good plot for a JRPG. Nice poignant ending too. And X-2 isn't great, but more par for the course.

X-2.5 is like... What the fuck? How do you dip in quality as your career goes on to that extent? The idea that he just wanted it to end makes more and more sense.

Although there might have been someone else heavily involved in the creative process of either X or both X and X-2 that jumped ship at some point who was more responsible for the higher quality plotlines and then this gaylord got credit for the story for some reason.

You're misinterpreting the quote. He's stating that they're not shoehorning KH characters into the TS1 storyline like they did with some other worlds in previous games e.g. Little Mermaid in KH1. Rather they're coming up with their own storyline that takes places after 2, so it doesn't have anything to do with 2/3's plot. That said, it doesn't mean it's canon. If you ask the Disney/Pixar writers if KH stuff is actually in universe they'll laugh you out of the building.
tl;dr separate story does not mean canon

>>386909402
They aren't scrapping it, they've still got several books and comics coming out. Bioware Montreal got sacked for being a shit studio who couldn't manage for shit. Casey's back in charge now, you'll see another Mass Effect game in a few years. The setup was successful, though the game bland and in many ways inferior to Inquisition, in others it was great and the worldbuilding towards the end was very promising.

A sequel would likely be decades or centuries into the future, which could also serve as another "soft" reboot in that all the characters save a few and all the locations are entirely new.

>Nomura literally said it happens in the same canon as Toy Story series
No he didn't, you're misinterpreting it like I stated before. He said it took place between 2 and 3; but all KH storylines take place at some point in a Disney world's timeline, that doesn't mean they're canon.
>Pixar is even heavily involved

Neither of those actually happen. The rest is true. Its much better narrated in the novel, but it all takes place in between the 2 last scenes from FFX-2 anyways (between Yuna jumping out of the spaceship to hug him, and the next scene when they're in Zanarkand and she throws him into the lake and comments "you didn't disappear") so it doesn't change anything really.

>>386916767

sorry, i meant that
>The explosion blows his head off, killing him.
>His head lands close to Yuna and she faints
those 2 didn't happen like that. It never says anything about his head blowing off in particular, it just says that his body was the last thing she saw as she fainted, she saw him turn into those firefly things that summons in FFX turn into when they're dismissed.

>>386917775
I was fine with this. It was a humorous side story that I didn't have much of a problem with.

>>386917840
I think the actual thing that happens is that he see what looks like a blitzball after arguing with Yuna, and kicks it cause he's angry.

>>386917840
Yes, that much is true. And he is then later revived, Yuna meets with another elder summoner who teaches her how to take summons to another level, literally creating matter out of nothing. However this comes at a high cost, blah blah blah, point is she manages to bring him back to life with this new skill but she can never make him remember the incident.

Its not as shitty as it sounds, but that's the tl;dr version.

>>386917840

The only bad thing about X-2 is the dialogue (well, that and requirements for completion percentage). The plot itself is reasonable enough.

Actually it explains the melancholic and somber tone of the perfect ending cutscene and how Yuna acts in it. It has also irrevocably changed and strained their relationship from Yuna's side. There have been consequences and much has changed.

(If the parallel love story between Kush & the girl is an allegory for Tidus and Yuna, it also cements the old interpretation that it's only a teenage fling instead of being destined lovers, the so called golden couple of Square-Enix, and will pass sooner or later.)

Nomura was character designer and creative producer, Toriyama was scenario director. Tabata had nothing to do with the story or characters in that game, he was only focused on the gameplay which was actually decent. All the creative side in the story and characters fall entirely on Nomura and Toriyama.

>>386920580
>the director isn't to blame for the abysmal direction of the game
Are you actually trying to argue this?

>>386920851
He was director but only focused on the gameplay which is why he had Toriyama as scenario director and Nomura as creative producer because they were in charge of all the characters, story and writing side of things.

Nomura had the least to do with how the game turned out. He probably just checked in now and then and threw some suggestions around.

>Nomura had the least to do with how the game turned out.
He had arguable the MOST to do because he was CREATIVE PRODUCER. Aka the head on all creative decisions, andh worked closely alongside Toriyama who was SCENARIO DIRECTOR, aka the director in charge of all writing. So Nomura was in charge of visual and character with people working under him like kamikokuryo, Toriyama in charge of story and writing with some script writers working under him. While Tabata focused on the gameplay side of things and let Toriyama and Nomura to their devices. All Tabata would have done is asked them how things are moving along and they would update him and he'd say Ok while going back to checked up stuff more to do with gameplay since that was his focus of it.

Not to mention Nomura and Toriyama were the ones also doing interviews for 3rd birthday and not just Tabata doing them.

Tabata was the director full stop. It was his job to direct the game and he let Toriyama write that god awful story when it was well within his power to tell Toriyama to fuck off. Tabata is equally to blame for the pile of crap the Third Birthday is.

>>386923178

It's crap. During the game there's a scene where monster Birkin comes across his unconscious daughter and the scene fades out. Later you find unconscious Sherry and a slug is creeping away. Perverts assume in five minutes Birkin raped his daughter, impregnated her and she gave birth to the slug when really it just seems to be implying she was left unharmed because she is already infected.

the combat looks like the same old boring "Hold O" bullshit. Same with that Comrades Multiplayer thingy.

At least Prompto has third person shooter elements but the problem is that it's something new in the DLC so I feel like it would be poorly implemented since I don't think the base game has a gun like that

The battle of Legion and Human occurred for years. And on 2023, the world falls into a financial crisis because of the war and Project Gestalt.

>By 2024, conflicts between ethnic and countries start to took place. The United Nations, which look at the situation seriously, proposed a method to resolves conflicts.

>As detailed in the brief Famitsu interview, development on The 3rd Birthday began a long time back. Nomura revealed to Dengeki that the initial design document for the game consisted of such elements as the Twisted and the Overdive system -- in other words, the basics of the game systems and plot. Nomura gave particular thought initially to how the Overdive system would relate to both the plot and the gameplay.
>Nomura's official tile for The 3rd Birthday is "creative producer and concept designer." Dengeki asked Nomura if his main role on the game is as overall supervisor. This is basically correct, he said. The concept design part of his role means that he came up with the fundamental design for the game, and the creative producer part of the role means that he oversees the overall development. He's also working directly on voice recording. He does constant checking on the game.
>Nomura's name also appears in the credits as character designer. His work here involves designs for characters who are reappearing from past Parasite Eve games, and a few new characters. Even for these, however, he only did the rough face sketches and left the rest to other designers, checking up on their work. He describes his character design role on The 3rd Birthday as "thin."

This literally says Nomura appointed Tabata as director on 3rd birthday and that Nomura wanted to direct but was busy on multiple games at once, so he made himself the creative producer and concept design for the fundamentals of the game, including character design, voice acting aka he oversaw the creative side of the game and overall development, while Tabata the game development side.

Literally Nomura was heavily involved in 3rd birthday from the beginning before he assigned Tabata onto it.

Literally all he says is that aya is planned to have more depth and that there is gonna be a story incorporated into the game, he said nothing about him being the one doing that, and that is literally in the middle of a round table discussion with Kitase, Nomura, Tabata and Toriyama all being interviewed together.

Not really, to be honest. The scene in question fades out to black, but it doesn't even get close to implying sex. The nurse devil is teasing you by saying she'll show you parts of the body, and then she follows through by actually pointing out and naming the parts of your body. Her whole shtick is she likes teasing you, and if you respond enthusiastically to her advances, she backs the fuck up and you get the lowest points for that interaction. The best points can only be gotten from being embarrassed by it. The only people who claim that Yu bangs her are desperate milf losers.
