Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers

It's not that it's a bad game, it just wasn't the game Graham and Paul were expecting.

Wow.

I have no idea what the hell I just watched.
I do know I laughed my ass off however.

Was anyone else surprised when the brown-haired pilot started talking in a male voice?

Eh, JRPGs. They have do a reputation to uphold, after all.

Had to check it happened after reading this. Somehow, I remained convinced the pilot was a girl even after he spoke.

Aaaaah. Remix the channels, please! I'm listening on headphones and it sounds like Graham and Paul are right next to each of my ears.


Which is a bad thing, just to clarify.

Wait...that character that was piloting the small..flying aircraft thingy that wasn't a ship in a flying ocean...was actually a male?

Also... i watched it twice. I still have no idea what was it all about. The dramatic silence was the only bit that made any sense whatsoever. Good job. I guess.

Oooh! A Final Fantasy game which has a plot revolving around crystals? Square Enix really know how to innovate.

That was a very good unskippable, but the cutscene itself was already very ridiculous.

I... how... no, wait. Ok, this androgynous thing has been always been a part of JRPG, fair enough. But in this game, all the humans with male voices had completely feminine facial features. They are simply women with male voices. This is getting ridiculous.

A well dressed ostrich, quoting Dickens, the whole escort thing. This show really works best with fantasy games!

I must play JRPG's too much. Everyone here is amazed the brown haired guy is in fact a guy. It didnt even cross my mind that it could have been a girl. I'm gonna have to watch it again to see what your all on about.

Edit: Ahh he has long hair, I wasnt paying it much attention. I heard the voice and accepted it was a male characeter speaking before he was even shown on screen.

Yeeep. I was about to say the same thing. I thought the dude with the red brown hair flying the ocean ship was a girl...until he spoke.
Then I thought the blonde one could have been a tomboyish girl. To top it off, the weird creature thing has a female voice? Yeah...what?

I've played plently of JRPGS, but this is still a big question mark.
(I've never played Crystal Bearers though.)

I'm an avid JRPG fan and even this surprised me.

But yeah, usual Final Fantasy affair, confusing cutscenes full of pretty boys and girls who claim to be girls (i'm looking at you, pilot)
and yeah, Action scenes in which you don't do anything.

They skipped some gameplay where he uses the gun to shoot the dragon-things while free falling.
