I really really hate when cutscenes take away logic from the game and power from the player just for the sake of the story , that is bad storytelling seriously , if you cant do it without "cutscene magic" you are doing something wrong
Im playing GTA 5 atm and im at the part where we pulled a house down and just bust a cap in a bunch of wetback gangsters then in the cutscene their big mean leader comes with just a baseball bat and we let him hit us wtf???We both had guns!He was an easy target lmao!
Aren't phoenix downs for reviving from K.O. not from death?
Matthew Perry
this is your contribution to the topic?you are just worthless dogshit on the bottom of my shoes
Ryan Hughes
yes OP is a retard like always
Gavin Jenkins
wtf spoilers
Samuel Clark
Are you 12?
Blake Jenkins
Are phoenix downs cannon to the universe, or are they just simply a game mechanic?
Grayson James
Fuck off you stupid fuck, revive and phoenix down restores the consciousness, not life
Same happened in FFV; when galuf was dying, they tried everything to save him, yet they couldnt because he was already dead
Henry Green
mfw Everyone talkin about final fantasy when the topic is about GTA 5
Levi Howard
Not OP but that just makes gameplay stupid also. Slapping ass with weapons, but all you do is get KO'd.
Wyatt Smith
Retard, Phoenix Down doesn't work on cutscnes, Final Fantasy V had a whole event dedicated to using it and the cast was bawling their eyes out because it didn't work.
Ayden Anderson
While I agree that does make it non-sensical with world destroying attacks but for the context of its use it is used for K.O.s, like smelling salts i guess.
Samuel Jackson
>Phoenix Down is also a result from the Mix command. Rather redundantly, it is only achieved by mixing two Phoenix Downs FFV was a product of cocaine
Anthony Brown
>Borderlands 2 >Marcus is shot in the back by Jack >You mean to tell me he had no shields? >You mean to tell me he didn't get revived by New-U station? Fuck Borderlands 2.

>Pidgey hung on using it's Focus Sash >Pidgey used Endeavor >Pidgey used Quick Attack >Gyarados Fainted!
Oliver Gutierrez
why the fuck do they kill undead then?
Zachary Cox
>>Marcus I was surprised they didn't make a joke about his death though. Borderlands 2 really lost me when they started trying to pretend the characters were good enough for artificial drama.
Also why does the Hyperion-owned New-U Station keep reviving the very people trying to sabotage Hyperion?
Gabriel Ward
Yes. Phoenix Downs cure K.O., not death.
Joseph Hill
Personally, I love it. You don't see it anymore. It reminds me that I'm playing a videogame.
Nathaniel Collins
>yfw you realize all you did was knockout Chaos
Luke Bennett
FFV already answered this question.
They tried everything to revive Galuf, but when you are dead, you are fucking dead.
Logan Ross
because they couldn't show decapitation in a 1997 game
Benjamin Ross
>The undying phoenix is said to call back souls from the heavens, but to win the attention of such fabled bird, you must give up a feather as an offering. The best are the downy feathers of the tail... hence the term phoenix down, see? Mark well that not just any feather will do. Depending on quality and size, the blessing received varies greatly. Displeased? You get what you pay for.
im so confused
Ayden Hernandez
Some good cocaine, it's the only FF that was free of sad shit.
So you are practically buying high quality feathers, to summon the powers of the phoenix to revive or recover the consciousness of recently fallen people.
Daniel Carter
Bucket of water'd probably do, I imagine
Alexander Allen
A game that's pretty consistent about cutscene logic is Xenoblade Chronicles. Notice how every time an attack lands successfully on a Mechon or Face, it's after it's been toppled, because the character is using a specific anti-Mechon weapon, or because they've got the aura of Monado Enchant around them, and the only reason Xord could be damaged before Zanza unlocked the Monado's ability to arm sentient Bionis inhabitants is because he was malfunctioning and his Homs blood didn't circulate properly through his Face frame.
In short, characters rarely if ever do something in cutscenes that isn't consistent with the actual gameplay of the game.
Angel Cooper
Nigga that's holy
Lucas Taylor
That means that we either been scammed by shopkeepers all this time or that they know a way to get these featherrs easily.
Carter Brown
>it's her head, stupid >definitely representative of a head >because focusing on a decapitated fucking head slowly bouncing down into the water for the better part of a goddamn minute wouldn't be exceptionally gaudy even for Square >couldn't be that the Holy materia, that thing what saves the planet and all, isn't meant to evoke losing the hope for the salvation of the planet along with Aerith during the party's lowest moment in the game Nah Square just fucking loves themselves some excess gore and had to settle for a symbolic decapitation instead of an explicit one.
David Clark
FFV confirms that
The characters try to use them and raise to revive a certain character without any success
Christian Smith
then why the magic life existed in first place? i mean you see an angel in ff6.
Ryan Ortiz
Nigga it's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit.
John Cooper
blahblahblah symbolic blah blah esper space magic blah blah 'just knocked out' blah The game needs a separation between "you let shadow's HP hit zero" and "you let shadow FUCKING DIE" so you just gotta roll with it.
Thomas Foster
>do do do >do do do >do do do do do do do do do >do
