I feel like I shouldn’t have omitted the friend who “can’t get a GF” was basically a fedora-and-chivalry “nice guy” and whined about being “friendzoned” like 10 years ago. (This guy is no longer my friend. The burn is still great.)

this reading actually makes the scene where she thought he was attracted to her much funnier because she’s like, constantly dangling this over the poor kid and his mind is going in circles but he fails to associate any of his tortured headspace with his instructor repeatedly sexually harassing him
"dammit … no … never going to have someone of my own to take care of and to cherish … can’t do anything … oh it’s Quistis again, I wonder what she wants … "
@toups This is from an old topic but can you expand on this? I can’t find anything online about RNG in the Great Palace.

There’s no RNG at play time, so I assume Toups is talking about prebaked procedural generation
It would certainly explain the uniquely mazelike layout. I can’t think of another platformer level where I got so lost
EDIT: I can’t find any source supporting the idea of prebaked procedural, either. To fit large maps in limited ROM, Zelda 2 and NES Metroid levels are based on big ~screen-sized tiles that can be repeated. This is similar to a common procedural method and the result is reminiscent, but I haven’t found any evidence that it was literally laid out by an algorithm.

I’ve certainly never got through the last palace without a map by my side.

I could swear the last time I played it the scene order was different every time, like I swear I tested it. Like not the actual level geometry, but it was more like the last dungeon of Super Mario 1 where these little pre-designed areas proceed in random order. And it also felt random whether or not you’d encounter that annoying sub-boss before dark link. But I think I might have just been very frustrated and gave up before understanding it?
That was a dark time in my life. Please forgive me.

:slow clap:
I feel you toups. For me it was always the random bit in the forest maze in Zelda 1 that got me.
