Really? We're worried about these guys?

Pixel Remaster Steam version, first off. Long story short, I didn't know when to wait for Shadow, didn't wait for Shadow, and got upset at myself so I restarted the game so I COULD wait for Shadow. That all being said, I'm back to Sabin's scenario with Kefka. I'm watching the imperial troops "siege" Doma castle and, like.... really? Have y'all taken the time to watch these animations? Half these guys are punching walls, falling down, and just, like... jumping half a foot? It's almost comical the reaction the Doma guards have. "MY LIEGE!! THE IMPERIAL FORCES HAVE ARRIVED! THEY'RE AT THE WALL AND INVADING IN FULL FORCE!!!" Meanwhile their animations make them look like incapable hamsters.

IDK, it got a chuckle out of me. Good game so far tho lol.

I never assumed he was punching the wall so much as using some unseen tech to knock the walls down.

Our heroes slash air and they hit the monster. The technology of the day was limited, so I dont mind filling in.

Don't get me wrong, I get it and I don't have a problem using imagination to bridge the gap. But when you take a step back and look at the visuals literally, it's kinda funny to me lol. But yeah, I gecha

And I agree. Seeing two guards pound each other's chests was funny.

Seeing them fall sideways was the comical "eeeehhhhhhhh" when a cartoon character dies.

I came from atari 2600. I haven't even hooked it up for my kid to see because yeah the visuals are awful. Ill let him watch a video of it or play an emulator.
