JSA Storytime: Gen13

Good evening owls,

not gonna lie, it's sunny and cool outside, so if I vanish for bits, that's why

Hello, Storyteller.

>"surprise mechanics"
>so-called Hardcore Gamers are STILL whining about Tifa's tits and are now demanding sports bra lore
Holy shit, fuck video games.

Also, this comic never gave a fuck in the first place. Lizard racing is a filler episode.

If I see another hot take about how SJWs killed Vertigo....

those aren't even good hot takes, BAKA

you really can't talk about how you kind of want to screw your mentor figure to your dad, can you

Oh fuck off. Vertigo died because nobody fucking buys anything that isn't Batman. I highly fucking doubt DA SJWs are going out of their way to make damn sure the most previleged superhero in existence is the only one that consistently sells worth a damn. I swear these conspiracy nut dipshits don't have the physical ability to think about the nonsense that spews from their fucking mouths.

I spent a few hours yesterday making collages of every new item shipped per year for the last decade of Vertigo, and damn has it been shit for at least seven years. It was a long, long time coming

oh, the other dumbass comics twitter thing of the week is NEPOTISM, because JJ and kid are writing some Spidey comic no one cares about

People wouldn't care as much about that if
>Marvel didn't decide to do a four part countdown for it
>Yoshida didn't tell everyone that he was about the make the industry's jaws drop at the giant announcement

it's nice and cool outside...and there are about five million mosquitos, fuck

I'm not actually kidding. These fucks are actually questioning the validity of sports bras existing in the FFVII universe. You can't make this shit up.

Like, I haven't even played the game, and even I've heard of the bit where Cloud finds Tifa's "orthopedic underwear". Fucking fake gamers.

Unless Abrams Spidey ends up being a hilariously convoluted Lost-esque mess, it has no reason to exist.

Oh yeah, but if you're not desensitized by now to Marvel promo bullshit you must be a total n00b

Everybody's favorite youtuber did a video on it, and there's been at least two threads parroting what he said

As predicted, Roxy is 1000% into lizard racing

Oh man, I've replayed 8 and 9 a whole lot, but not 7. I could find my PS2 and memory card...or I could fire up the PC edition....

Also people balking at the existence of an "ethics department" like it's a sign of the end times, as if literally every company hasn't had a Standards and Practices department for decades

Attached: Gen13_31_p11.jpg (1057x1647, 411K)

doesn't he keep saying that? how do people keep falling for this shit when it happens twice a month?

I caved and bought the switch edition, I've never played it before

The button that heals my health every turn and fills up the limit meter is a much appreciated addition

Grunge is too pure for this world

PC edition has some good mods, like uprez'd backgrounds and a newer, more accurate translation

Because within 24 hours people have moved onto the next thing to be angry and/or excited about and forgotten all about what they were angry about earlier

You know, I hadn't even thought about mods, but that's a great point.

I keep putting off installing Frosty and getting geared up for another DAI run, but I should just do it

wait what

damn, that's a mic drop

...it also sounds almost like, you know

my main preparation for the rest of the summer has been buying another bottle of Stranahan's

Attached: Gen13_31_p15.jpg (1064x1651, 307K)

it's called boost mode I think, it heals the party's HP and automatically fills up everybody's limit meter

there's also a no encounter mode which is nice if I'm feeling lazy

Is it just me, or did Roxy suddenly get smarter at some point? She got a boost to her INT score, and I can't place when this happened.

I'm waiting for the Remake. FFVII seems like I would enjoy it, but I just can't with turn based combat most of the time.

That may be the actual dumbest thing. Oh no, a company has a department designed to keep them out of deep shit? How awful!

And it wasn't even an ethics issue. They just wanted Tifa to not look fucking stupid with her titties floppin' around while she's fighting.

Why does he draw Roxy like a 40 year old gutter slut?

the most annoying thing about the idiots whining about Tifa is that her tits are still big! They just have no idea how boobs work on a 3D person and they think anything smaller than a watermelon is basically flat

Okay, no encounters is great because one of the best things in FF8 is how early you can turn that on, but...eh, I'm modding for casual difficulty too sometimes, it's nice when it's an option.

It's indicative of the inherent issues with trying to remake a game that was originally portrayed with stylish anime graphics, now with shiny realistic graphics.

Changing Cloud and Aerith's hair to fit the realistic artstyle, no one makes a peep, but make Tifa's body realistically proportional, and it's now an attack on gamers and men everywhere!

Seriously. Even with the bra, she is apparently an H-cup, from what I've heard from people who know more abut boobs than me(i.e women). You'd think these morons, obsessed with tits as they are, would realize that mammaries are squishy.

The worst part of all this is that this """""""controversy"""""""" is detracting from Tifa's character. Everyone is so obsessed with her boobs, that they are forgetting literally everything else about her.

ugh, this hyper-realism thing in general in games

The last three Lara Croft's have been very big too, they just fit her frame better.

Nothing of value was lost.
Retarded "graphic novels" for emos who are too afraid to admit they read comics.
Hiring someone who hates comics to edit comics was levitz's biggest mistake

Real talk, that needs to stop. First, because it's really fucking boring to have every game look the damn same. And second, because it's absurdly expensive. Video games are not magic, and you kind of have to pick what parts you focus your resources on. Since it's an interactive medium first and foremost, the logical thing is to focus on the gameplay, and then the story. Y'know, the shit that actually matters. All these high-res, hyper-realistic graphics detract from the actual game itself by being a waste of resources.

Quality art direction is really important but that's not the same as "you can see her boobs jiggle perfectly", and for hairstyles for custom characters, modders take that on themselves

Mike Ginicola, wanting to know why Roxy isn't Fairchild sized in the chest

So, how realistically proportional is Cloud's Buster Sword?

>Quality art direction is really important
It is arguably vital. If you want a game/comic/show/whatever to have any real staying power, you must make it look unique, or else it will get lost in the pile.

When you look at a Dragon Quest game for example, you instantly recognize it as a goddamn Dragon Quest game. Even people who don't play Dragon Quest know what it looks like.

Actually, now that I think about it, modern comics have a big problem with this. Fuckin' house style trash.

DQ11 on PC is just so beautiful, how they took the classic look and kept the essence of it while adding the dimensionality. It has such a consistent and appealing aesthetic, and the localization has been done with care--all the punny monster names, etc.

Hey OP. My teeth are driving me nuts.

I know that feeling, I hope you get some relief

Attached: Gen13 v2 32 p04.jpg (969x1508, 234K)

... A goddamn Twister reference. Because of course.

Oh, it's still fuckhueg, naturally. Imagine the actual fires being lit in the streets if they tried to make the Buster Sword less ridiculous.

Also, apparently, the crossdressing scene is still happening, and I for one eagerly await Cloud obviously being into it. Let's be real here, that's the only way to do it nowadays.

just got here, whatd I miss
they should make an omnibus of this run

DAD FIIIIIIIGHT!!

they started restoring the series digitally for release, but then stopped.
The $$$ isn't there

I enjoy seeing people insult Grunge to his face. He deserves it.

Again, style over horsepower. The results speak for themselves every time. Metroid games will always look great because the series has firmly codified a solid aesthetic.

Rich Johnston cooked up a related fake news article, this time about Stan Lee and Martin Goodman. He also earlier claimed that Pam Lifford hates imprints but the pop-up ones.

I would buy a copy
that’s funny that DC can’t capitalize off JSC’s art like every other company can or even collect Frank’s stuff when he’s their top toted talent

Zoom and Ink were kind of dumb names

>The Unmen.jpg

that series is fuckdd up
thanks OP, fun stuff

Too many girl characters with big tits in bikinis for this not to have been aimed at boys to some extent.

Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.

Turn-based combat or no, I might just have to go ahead and play FFVII original just to learn Tifa's character out of spite for these fake gamers.

... Wow, that was surprisingly bitter and depressing. Fuck.

Zenescope's readership is mostly women
they want big titted fun fantasy stuff

Spider-Abrams is utterly unimpressive, especially as a countdown reveal.

Well, you see, if the people complaining ever had a job, S&P is probably who fired them.

>those massive DC Kids/YA GN announcements after the sunset announcement of Zoom/Ink/Vertigo
Two Zatanna books, two Swamp Thing books, and a Li'l Constantine one.
That latter one is literally a Watchmen Babies tier-joke.
I think I'll storytime the single issue "The Gift" for a canon tale of Constantine as a child one of these days after OP finishes

considering Constantine was in JLAction a kid's book doesn't actually seem that farfetched

I regularly forget that Grunge is supposed to be Asian.

Fuck accurate translations. Give me the Woolsleyisms of my youth, down to the very last "Off Course!"

She'll never be Aerith to me.

the original FFT is amazing. "Don't blame me, blame yourself, or God."

Sure

>She got a boost to her INT score, and I can't place when this happened.

When they switched writers and everything got more serious.
No room for an airheaded girly girl who seems to forget she has powers in the new story direction.

Honestly, if I was a big shot writer I would have my kid forge their own career rather than acting as their crutch, builds better work ethic
Joe Hill went out of his way to hide the fact he's Stephen King's son (for as little as that lasted) so he could be his own author, and prove himself to critics and readers

We've come a long way from "don't let John appear in any all-ages titles because we don't want kids reading Hellblazer"

I didn't know about Nick Harkaway for quite a while, either.

John is severely neutered as a character if he isn't allowed to swear.

And the winner gets Caitlyn!

Fairchild's Mojo is SO BIG.

I read through lile the entirety of Unmen without realizing it was a Swamp Thing spin off.

TV Shows'll do a lot for marketability.

That has to do with Cronius not really being used since the OG Len Wein stuff.
And that Anton Arcane had been pretty much dealt with in the 1980s. He'd come back once or twice for an arc, but was pretty much done after Moore finished.

BENDis tweeted some new Legion designs in very low quality. Blok!!!! Black Star Boy! Sun Boy on fire! Mon El! There are also 2 ladies I don’t recognize. One looks like Karolina from Runaways and the other is in blue

also he was hacked for a while
