immersion?

[AngryNixon]

I don't begrudge people their desire to feel "immersed" in the game if that's what they deem to be fun. But I do think the term is often wielded like a club cracking the skull of common sense and good game design for its own sake. The brain matter oozing out of that cracked skull onto the floor in a little pool is everyone else's idea of fun.

Did someone let The Goons/4Chan into the forums?

The game is very immersive.

YOU just have a hard time immersing yourself in it.

The world is beautiful, the sound is appropriate, there are many small details to notice in the world and the animations are realistic.

Remind me what's not immersive?

Oh, the gameplay. That they are working on. Like next week will be released.

I love listening to awful synthesized combat music while fighting a rat next to a rock formation that repeats 20 more times within a 200 foot radius. Can't HELP but get immersed when I visit the golden bazaar where NPCs repeat a single line of dialogue and won't even sell me anything. MMM MMM. SHIT IS BELIEVABLE I WISH I LIVED IN EORZEA.

Also, apparently trying to create a game with a well designed world and characters you can grow attached to automatically removes the fun in the game AND ruins the gaming industry. Do you guys read over the shit you write sometimes?

They've both been here since the forums opened up.

Can't wait for your game to come out. When is it released? What kind of development do you have? Got any vacancies as man, you sound like you are gonna make the most successful game of all time. OF ALL TIME!

I'm secretly working on a project with Tanaka. It's gonna be the shit you can make your own class and errthang I won't even put auto-attack in it because I wanna make it unique feel me dawg?

When I play the video game sure its for fun because I want to be wrapped up in the story and be taken on an adventure, its like when you see a film, you want to see something you'll get pulled into, but if you kept seeing wires or greenscreens or subtitles popped up because they didnt finish voicing you'd be pretty fucking annoying and it would "break immersion" because you would be to busy thinking "woah cant believe this film still has props lying around and a camera man stood behind Thor".

When a game becomes annoying and difficult to play and you're constantly reminded its just a game that is breaking immersion.

"I don't want to see people jump around like rabbits, it's breaking my immersion so bad"

It's so much more realistic and immersive to have to walk all the way around a small little bush or rock or a 6 inches high fence, not being able to jump up a small little hill and having to walk around until you find a path getting you up that small hill...

and as thousands of games from every genre proved for decades, jumping is fun and can be use in many many ways.

so let's sacrifice another great feature for the sake of "immersion"

"I never wanna see my character swim, it's so unrealistic to think i could swim with a chainmail armor"

Yet it is much more realistic to carry 100 pieces of armor weighting a ton in a small big attached to your belt..... or invisible bag wtv...


" I don't want to see you carry around a sword with flames all around it, it's so bright it's breaking my immersion, go play WOW!"

It's probably better to have a plain ugly simple steel sword and yet be able to throw fire and ice out of thin air... much more realistic.... we sure don't want any FANTASY weapons and armor in a Final FANTASY game... right...


It's crazy how closed minded so many people are and how they are ready to kill any FUN idea for the sake of their absolute immersion....

And it's going to come out in like 2018 and it'll have like 4 epic, 15 minute long quests!

Do you guys read over the shit you write sometimes?

They can't. That would mean stepping out of their immersion for a bit.... that's just unthinkable!
