Yeah, but he was cool. Maybe even the coolest character in the game.
Nobody gives a shit about stereotypes if they're portrayed positively. Nothing about Barret's personality is shown to be something he should be ashamed of, and the cast mostly welcomes his over-the-top shenanigans.
We need more cool giganiggas with a heart of gold in games and media, not less. Rarely are they not appreciated by anyone that isn't compromised one way or the other.

They should bring back mister T type of black guy in media again. He is the only one to redeem actual niggers and can even alleviate nigger fatigue from humans. I'm tired of the current black woman worship, not even black dudes like them.

Why is gentrification in there? The whole point of criticism there is when you raise the property value of the location without raising the wages of the people who live there assuming they're hired at all. Forcing them to move out of places they always lived. That's literally Shinra 101 and the reason why everyone in the Slums hates the top siders

It was called PC in the 90s. That's where south park got the whole "PC Principal" thing from.
They were also making fun of it hard back then just like now. See: PCU. You get to watch david spade as an unapologetic mayflowerist, jeremy piven in a vanity project, and Happy Hogan as a completely fried out mosher, all in the same film.
Also MEATTOSSER.

Most of it. In OG 7, you picked which party members were coming with you, so what dialogue you saw in a given scene was usually whoever you had with you rather than just everybody.
So if you wanted to see a lot of Barret, you had to bring him, and he's not as good in 7 as he is in 7r.

No he didn't, Cloud just has a job. He goes back and spends time with Tifa, Marlene and Denzel when he isn't working or dealing with weird fags like the Turks.

He's the kind of character that happens when someone combines a bunch of things they like into one character, like how hes a wrestler

Barret is one of the deeper characters in the game and has many sympathetic moments. When they remade the game they also made him the most handsome character in the game.

A stranger that happens to have raised another stranger who just recently met a man that Barett openly hates and doesn't trust spends more time taking care of his daughter than he does
He will fob her off on literally anyone and if nobody will take her then she gets locked in a secret hidden basement not entirely unlike Fritzl, not the same either but there are similarities

Well "guy" is gender specific and Barrett (male) had a daughter (female), so yeah. To be honest I've never played a FF game. I just knew that Barrett was a bad parent and made Cloud/Tifa take the reins, lol.

I dont think either was good, both have flaws.
The original had bad plotting overall but it did that specific dyne moment good, but everything around it was bad.
Meanwhile rebirth tried to iron out some wonky stuff from the original but they also added new mistakes like the immediate fight after dyne or not making Corel prison either like the OG or actually manage to deliver their own version they shilled.
I would have written it differently.

When this game came out, Mr. T was a very popular and relevant celebrity. He's still a positive role model to this day. There are more offensive stereotypes to take umbrage with than taking character inspiration from a good person.

I find Cordy's design to be amusing because it's not just 'anime girl but dark skinned' like most things do. They actually designed her to look african.
Anyway, Front Mission 2 is already a weird game, anyway. Quite literally the only JRPG set in Bangladesh.

I agree I like Dyne being hunted down and dying to Shinra soldiers and giving a little speech to Barrett, but fucking Palmer>>737106946 right after plus the weirdly long minigame of shooting the helicopter after ruined it.
That said, the OG had the chocobo race placed after the Dyne scene so it had the same shit happen anyways. Moving the chocobo race beforehand, and Gus in general, was done better in Rebirth

I've played it many times. I think I played it 3 times on psx alone, once I did a 100% run, then a couple of times I played the PC version and maybe 4 times on emulator. I didn't play the whole game every time, I had situations where my disk drive died, then later on when my PC died, so I lost 2 runs in the middle of the run. this is across the last 25 years. the only other FFs I played more than 3 times are ff6, ff8, ff9 and ff12. I started the new threat 2 a few weeks ago (pic related), but I don't have time to rush through it.

She was his perfect waifu. Toriyama likes the strong, badass, cold, semi-kuudere types, so he created the perfect one in the form of a jap video game character. He loved her so much that he not only made an entire video game trilogy for her, but also made her breasts bigger throughout the series, made her go to the real world at the end of her final game, and put her in real life fashion advertisements (the were also rumors about him going to the red light district in Tokyo aka Kabuchiko and hiring a specific fetishistic cosplayer prostitue who happened to have Lightning's body type to dress up like Lightning and act like her. Just rumors tho). It's not just him either. Japan also always loved Lightning, which is why she consistently won first place in FF character popularity polls for many years. Japanese players also viewed her as a perfect waifu. Toriyama wasn't alone. Over here in the West, we view an overly cold, emotionless personality as a sign of autism or bitchiness, but over in Japan, it's a sign of inner strength, pure coolness, and sexiness.

1 is a fun, experimental action RPG with a charming story and cast that's a lot more approachable than, say, the nightmare tactical systems and difficulty of Vagrant Story, and honestly I'm not shocked two separate developers are making their own spiritual successors. 2 is Resident Evil but the anime cranked up for good and bad. Third Birthday is an okay if strange shooter on the PSP, but an absolute nightmare for PE fans that wish to ignore it ever happened.

but "new"goyslop is mostly consumed by boomers. do you think zoomers care about star wars or marvel movies? this is exactly the biggest problem with square enix and final fantasy series. since sakaguchi and uematsu left they were unable to connect with new generations of gamers. zoomers couldn't care less about ff7 remake. only millenials with shit taste and buyer's remorse defend time jannies, new timelines, and other bullshit.

As a zoomer that isn't interested in Final Fantasy I can say there's an easy solution to this. Make a sequel to Jack's gam
I tried FF7 remake and I got bored of the endless Sony walk&talk cutscenes, if you cut that out and just leave the combat in it was pretty alright for what little I played

I can almost see the case for not judging someone by their appearance but dialogue is a product of their personality, it's something that you absolutely should use to form judgements about someone. You may want to take a seat for this but I also judge him for his actions, I don't care if that sounds bigoted.

Well, somebody on the Street Fighter 6 team was unfortunately taking copious notes on the whining about any negative characteristics associated with blacks. It's a fighting game with no menacing black characters. lmao. They are all jovial, uppity, big smiles, and super energetic about life. Every battle with one of them is like interrupting a dance contest. They just want to dance, not partake in violent activities. Absolutely hilarious.
