RPGs: Final Fantasy VIIOKAY LISTEN HERE BEFORE WE START BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT: This is easily the filthiest, most NSFW MSPixel ever. I'm not kidding, some awful shit is about to go down. This is your warning.
<p>
That being said, at E3, Square Enix announced a remake of the ever classic Final Fantasy VII. I've played it, Husbando~ hasn't. He asked me, several times:
<p>

<p>
I'm not kidding just go ahead and smash that X button up top, just close the hell out of this window.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/tTwgPq6.png">
<p>
If you're really going to stick around, then I <i>guess</i> I can draw the Honeybee Inn sequence of Final Fantasy VII for you.
<p>
Ironically, I think you could legitimately argue that MSPixel's art is on par with the lego people in the original PSX/PC game.
<p>
Okay, so. Cloud and Aeris are chilling in this playground in the middle of the Midgar slums, right?
<p>
Fight me, it's Aeris.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/PRKu9Xi.png">
<p>
Aeris and Cloud search all through the slums, and finally come across someone who's heard of Tifa.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/5u9jxro.png">
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/oYvdH6i.png">
<p>
oh my
<p>
That is, by the by, The Honeybee Inn, Midgar's premier whore house.
<p>
But we're not here to sight see, we're here to grab Tifa. Let's go to this Don Cornero's mansion you speak of.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/hPH8vgL.png">

<p>

<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/IcrJbfH.png">
<p>
You go through a few sidequests to get some cosplay materials for Cloud. Like when you go to a bar to hunt down a dress maker.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/rJSuNwJ.png">
<p>
Or when you go to a gym to beat a guy in a squat contest for a wig.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/zit2FOn.png">
<p>
I'm not sure why Square thinks that the only people in gyms are ripped half naked men bearing women's wigs --
<p>
... actually, yeah I do know that, and you do too. This game was made in 1997, and this shit used to be considered funny. Particularly in Japan, but it's not like the US was innocent. I don't want you to excuse Final Fantasy VII, it's still wrong as hell, but remember that this garbage did exist.
<p>
We can, of course, go straight on, but your chances of getting to Tifa get better when you get more stuff. There's a weird sequence where you're supposed to get something out of a hotel vending machine and you're supposed to think it's a ~condom~ but if you have any familiarity with this game, you know for damn sure that that's not why you and I are here.
<p>
Look on the ground, you can see a membership pass, and you know exactly where we're going with it.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/3DvDKDK.png">
<p>
Mass Effect is currently jealous.
<p>
The Honeybee Inn has several areas. Some, you can only peep in.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/FV4SJTT.png">
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/b6CCDis.png">
<p>
You see what you think you see.
<p>
There's a couple of places you can choose to go. In one room, because of plot spoilers, Cloud gets overwhelmed and passes out.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/q0JGc8V.png">
<p>
The following actually happens, hand to God.

<p>

<p>
Either way you go, you get this garbage:
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/n7Dgks9.png">
<p>
By the way, there's no way to get the bikini briefs without being raped. You just get to choose whether or not you want to be conscious, and how many wieners you'll be facing.
<p>
After Cloud gets non consensually penetrated, Aeris dresses him like a woman, because why wouldn't you, really.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/2KSQJfU.png">
<p>
Okay, good, now to go to Don Corneo's to see if he'll choose to bang Cloud. Again, after all the rape.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/szqnx0Y.png">
<p>
Here's the bad thing about MSPixel: I suspect that there's a bit of believably lost when I draw this shit for you. At least one of you, for example, probably thought I was being colorful with the above sequence, went and looked it up on YouTube, and then discovered that no, that was even actual dialog that I stole.
<p>
So I could draw Don Corneo's basement rape dungeon, but I've already stretched you a bit thin, so instead, please enjoy this screenshot.

We can agree that Final Fantasy is kind of the prototype JRPG, right? It might not be the jrpiest jrpg, that honor might go to Kingdom Hearts.

RPGs Week!I <i>told</i> you I had surprises!
<p>
Children, I want a breather between the Mass Effect trilogy and my next trick. What's my next trick? We'll talk later.
<p>
This week, I'm giving you a series of cartoons, based on what I'm only assuming your favorite MSPixel character, <strike>Husbando~'s cat</strike> Husbando~! Let's talk about Husbando~ for a moment. Husbando~ loves video games, but he's really only into two kinds:
<p>
<ul>
<li>Enormo AAA broshooters, typically set in space if he has his way. Think Halo.
<li>Games for five year old children. Think Kirby.
</ul>
<p>
Husbando~ will not touch RPGs. He doesn't like to be in the same room as an RPG. If he even <i>thinks</i> he sees spiky hair he's storming out of the room and fussing.
<p>
You've probably picked this up because I won't shut up about Chrono Trigger, but I'm exactly the opposite. I'm so here for Japanese RPGs, children, holy shit.
<p>
"Okay, then, Bean, but how did you come to Mass Effect? Why isn't this a Dragon Age blog?" What a good looking question. Honestly, Dragon Age looks more like my shit. But one, I've played Dragon Age, and Dragon Age is hot garbage. And two, this happened instead.
<p>
The year is ... probably 2011 or so, before MSPixel. I'd like you all to meet a very good and very old friend of mine, supernonamegirl. I'll use her Internet name just in case she doesn't want her real name on my shitty art blog.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/TJsAinL.png">
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/IrOIhu0.png">
<p>
Well, sure! With such a convincing argument, I set out to GameStop to buy it used because I wasn't sure if I'd like it well enough to pay full price. Really. What's weird is that I specifically remember that trip. I don't know how often you specifically remember buying a video game.
<p>
It looked good enough, but it looked like <i>space.</i> Husbando~ loves anything in space, maybe even more than video games. So I brought him Mass Effect.

<img src="http://imgur.com/tIwCDQz.png">
<p>
Mini rant time: why in the <i>hell</i> do people classify Mass Effect as an RPG? It's a broshooter. It's 120% a broshooter. I don't care if it has stats. Do you understand that shooters have had stats ever since there were shooters? Doom had stats! Just because they're hidden doesn't mean they're not there. "Make choices" or "develop your character" aren't good enough for me either. Bioshock tried to claim it's an RPG and now y'all are all squirreled around and backwards wondering if Rocket League is an RPG, jfc.

Let's begin.
<p>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/hil49Al.png">
<p>
They have a memorial wall on the Normandy for the characters that have died. We never discussed it too much because I was always trying to hide who died.
<p>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/G25Pimc.png">
<p>
Nerds were sad over the fate of the Normandy, the original ending never addressed what happened to it. The extended cut, however:
<p>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ebtX15J.png">
<p>
The extended cut shows the Normandy fixed and happily jetting off from Brazil.
<p>
Of course, the Normandy is filled to the brim with reaper tech, which isn't supposed to work in the ending, so there's that.
<p>
And now, to the Mass Effectian future, to a far off planet --
<p>
<img src ="https://i.imgur.com/k2AqLRA.png">
<p>
The BioWare art team ... probably ran out of time? I'm guessing? But they put an image here that they got off of DeviantArt.
<p>
So I thought I'd get smart and draw the DeviantArt logo but SURPRISE I can't draw it. You got me this time, BioWare Art Team.
<p>
On the planet:
<p>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/xBXrdWE.png">
<p>
Soooooo ... the whole game was supposed to be this old asshole telling his grandson Shepard's exploits. Uh. Excepting that that's cheesy and stupid af, did no one at BioWare give this even ten seconds worth of thought?!

<p>
So. I've tied up every last end but one.
<p>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/qCfdW7o.png">
<p>
Which is exactly why I'm going to fuck with this shit instead.

<p>
If you pick the destroy ending, and your EMS is high enough, Shepard lives.
<p>
Even though she's kept alive from Mass Effect 2 with reaper technology and the Star Child explicitly says she probably won't make it.
<p>
There's something that I've always wondered about the ending: wouldn't someone have to find Shepard for her to survive? Who does that?
<p>
There is one last character.

And now, dear everyone,
<p>
It has been my honor and privilege to be your MSPal over the years.
<p>
Do not think that I'm done. For one, Andromeda comes. For two, there's actually Mass Effect that I haven't drawn, if you can believe.
<p>
For <I>three,</I> I have surprises for you! You get surprises, that's not so bad.
<p>
We'll talk about your surprises on Monday. You're coming back, right? I want to see all of you here! Don't make me ride a horse to your house.
<p>
And, um, someone link me to some Andromeda news. I haven't been able to keep up, I've been drawing garbage instead.

This was a response to people who were mad that the Mass Effect ending didn't show what happened next.
<p>
<i>Personally,</i> I don't think it added much, but that wasn't a complaint I had with the ending anyway.

Whatever. Take it, Hackett.

... I have no idea what that is. Is that the same thing going from mass relay to mass relay? If it is, why the hell is it targeting the Normandy? If it's not, <i>what is it?!</i>

I'll leave it to you, though.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/HPFcqw9.png">
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/Q5eaFAh.png">
<p>
The, uh, space thing? The space thing makes the Normandy, um. Explode?
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/8Yu6ngV.png">
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/4Zkxkwl.png">
<p>
And thus, the Normandy crash lands.
<p>
People start getting out of the Normandy:
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/yvzKo9Y.png">
<p>
Y'all buckle your seatbelts, I'm about to yell a lot.
<p>
In the original ending, in destroy, EDI popped right out of that ship like nothing happened. And people said, "Wait, if all the reaper tech shut down, how the hell is EDI still alive?"
<p>
So Bioware cut her out of the extended cut, but I refuse, <i>REFUSE</i> to let them off the hook. Just because she's not in the cut scene doesn't mean she's not there. And anyway, if all the reaper tech is shut down, how was the Normandy still flying? It should have just hung in space.
<p>
There's a third catch to this that we'll get to, but let me reiterate: <i>the space child is a lying little shit.</i>
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/kgGJOem.png">
<p>
The second person out of the ship is always your love interest.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/cvMQfQ0.png">
<p>
The third is always Javik.
<p>
It's supposed to be the squadmate that you had the highest 'friendship' with, but I've never found a good definition for what 'friendship' was, and anyway why in the world wouldn't mine be Liara? Every time I play this game, there's Javik, right in the ending, climbing over Liara to get out of the ship.
<p>
I suspect this part is bugged.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/DrEfFeK.png">
<p>
This is a fight that I have more with Mass Effect nerds than Bioware. Prove that they <i>didn't</i> crash land on Earth. You can't. They're in Brazil. Fight me in the parking lot.

As the Normandy speeds off and enters FTL, the reapers explode red.

<p>
... I've drawn the whole series, right? Most of it? 99%? Can we agree? I couldn't figure out how to draw a ship in FTL, because I've never done it before, because there are no fucking mass effects in this game.
<p>
Also, you might have figured this out, but just so we're clear: I'm doing the destroy ending, and only the destroy ending. I'm reasonably sure that control and synthesis are idiot checks that BioWare put in there to see who paid attention to the story. Shepard's yelled about it plenty, so I'll drop it here.
<p>
"But Bean, how are the other endings different?" Well, I drew the major differences here, here's control:

No, really, they just swapped the colors. The extended cut added one or two extra details, and somehow people are okay with it. I <i>really</i> hate the ending to this game.

I think in the synthesis ending you get a bonus scene of everyone glowing green because we're all synthesized now and in control, you ... they ... they all pull out RC cars or something, who the fuck cares, control is a stupid ending.

After four years, I still can't draw the Citadel.

<p>
The red starts spreading to the mass relays because ... um ... I <i>think</i> it's because if we destroyed the reapers, we destroyed all the cool tech they gave us? But we don't synthesize or control the mass relays.
<p>
Would that not be hella to drive a mass relay around?
<p>
On the other planets, we can see the reapers also begin to light up red and explode.

I started drawing this entry, and I ... didn't stop. I feel raw, MSPals.
<p>
I wound up drawing more than twice the number of images I would need, and it still doesn't divide nicely. So sorry about that, but ey, you're in for some beef next week.
<p>
In the mean time, let's discuss the synthesis ending.

<p>
The reapers will cease their harvest because ... ?
<p>
I mean, I guess it makes sense from the reapers point of view: they want everything the same, so they achieve their goal, so then they fuck off.
<p>
... oh my god I just realized <i>another</i> reason why the ending to Mass Effect is bullshit.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/4Lj5WAA.png">
<p>
Look, suggesting that synthesis will allow the reapers to start a space instagram account is dumb, but it's not as dumb as whatever the fuck <i>actually</i> happens in the game.

Okay, there's something that intensely bothers me about the ending. There's a lot of things, but let's look at just one right now:
<p>

<p>
So we've reached the low point, the part that every Mass Effect nerd dreads. We must choose our ending.
<p>
There are four endings. There's the one that the extended cut added in: we can shoot the star child, if we wish.

Honest to hell, most video games haven't been able to touch the multiple ending thing until maaaaaaaaaaaaybe Undertale took a swing at it.

I broke my computer. I broke the FUCK out of my computer.
<p>
I drew this comic about it to explain my absence, and then never published the comic. I don't know either. But given that I broke the fuck out of my tablet recently, maybe you all would enjoy this as your Black Friday bonus.
<p>
This story starts, no shitting, with me drawing MSPixel. I listen to podcasts when I draw sometimes, and I love listening to the Retsuprae podcast. In this particular podcast, Slowbeef was talking about Undertale, which I hadn't heard of until this point.

Did you know that there is one operating system, and that system is Linux? He uses Windows at work, I have no idea what his damage is.
<p>
I've never been able to get my tablet working on Linux, and also Linux doesn't have MSPaint, so this is a problem. Pissing around the Internet a bit, I discovered that iTunes didn't like my graphics card driver. Weird, it liked it before, but okay. So I updated it.
<p>
I hella downloaded the wrong thing. Upon restart, I got this:

This is Windows' fail safe, the system restore. Or system repair. Or something. It's been months. This pops up when Windows can't figure out how to start, and needs to fix some shit. It's supposed to run for a few hours. Mine ran for <b>NINE DAYS.</b>

Amazon swears I'll have a new one "by 8 PM tonight", but Amazon is also the prince of lies so we'll see about that.
<p>
I have a regular length comic for you. (You'll probably guess why it's not Black Friday double length when you see it.) But, it would break my heart to leave you all without a big fat Black Friday special, so here's what you're getting today:
<ul>
<li>Today's tabletless MSPixel
<li>A bonus comic that I had sitting on my hard drive and never published because ????
<li> IF Amazon gets me my new tablet in something resembling a timely manner and IF I get it plugged in and working, I'll do a second bonus comic. That's a lot of ifs though, so if Amazon sends me a box of newspapers or the tablet doesn't work with Windows 10 or something else dumb, enjoy your other Black Friday gifts.
</ul>
Remember, only children who promise to stay home and not get shot get the MSPixel Black Friday specials! Let's begin. Last we left, the Star Child thought of something else to tell Shepard.

I haven't gotten to dig into much Andromeda news, because I've been busy drawing and yelling at another game, ahem.
<p>
This was the N7 Day Andromeda trailer. I don't like this trailer either, because like I said, I feel like at this point we should have some actual game play. You can't prove that Andromeda isn't actually an RTS or a city building sim and we're five months out. There's salarians in that trailer, though, if you look hard enough.
<p>
Game Informer has a series of Andromeda videos, this might be the most notable:
<p>

<p>
I have n o i d e a how to draw that motherfucker D: D: D: D: D: I'm pretending the art director at Bioware was drawing this guy like "bahahahha, fuck YOU MSPixel lady."
<p>
I really wasn't sold on the kett until that last shot though. The naked versions kind of look like turians with holes in their chests. I like the green, though, not much is green in the Mass Effect universe. It's usually red or blue, you know, super hero colors with a lot of black or white added in. (Unbelievably I could probably write a novel on the art direction of Mass Effect, since I've spent years peeing on it.)
<p>
Game Informer also has a video on "sexy vehicle design", and I'm not clicking on that. Goddamnit, Bioware.
<p>
Hey, have you heard about this one?
<p>

<p>
It would be cool if they stream it! They won't stream it, but I'd watch it if they did.
<p>
I'm looking at tablets now ... they don't make my old monoprice one any more, but there's some bomb ass upgrades which would be pretty cool. However, Amazon has a wacom which is cheaper than some of the monoprice ones. Do you think that would be a good idea? I've avoided wacom thusfar because come on, I use MSPaint, not Photoshop. I don't need 1200 layers of pressure, 19 hot keys and something something bamboo. I need something that won't break.
<p>
... the wacom does have a wireless kit, though, and it's the wires that tend to go sideways on me ....
<p>
So, uh, either talk to me about Andromeda in the comments or about tablets, and hope that somebody ships me something fast D: D: D: D: D:

I <i>swear</i> in the original cut I remember Anderson's face (and two other faces that we'll get to in a second) flashing on the screen when the Star Child referred to the endings. It isn't in the extended. I don't know if I'm misremembering or they took it out.

In the extended cut, Shepard can ask the Star Child to expand on each ending that he introduces.

Do you see the hole in the Star Child's argument?

<img src="http://imgur.com/s2YC0j5.png">
<p>
Bioware has actually come out and said that they did not expect people to import saves -- particularly from across all three games, but even from ME2 to ME3. You more or less <i>have</i> to import a save to get peace between the geth and the quarians.
<p>
... so on the one hand, I see why maybe they thought that the Star Child would think like he did, but on the other, Bioware did not plan for this inevitability. Nerds to Bioware: ey yo, the variables have changed.

Oh thank you, I need some clarification on this. Like, why won't this melt Shepard and make her all crazy like Brother TIM? Or, what good does controlling the reapers do? Is she just supposed to drive them into a black hole? Why is that any better than destroying them? Does she control them forever, or just, like, fifteen minutes? Or --

<p>
Well, Shepard, every story needs an antagonist, and since Mass Effect is effectively a superhero story, the reapers --
<p>
It bothers me that Bioware wanted this story to be more complicated than a melodrama. It really didn't need to be. But I'll shut up now.

Go google it. The original plotline/ending had to do with the universe's energy depletion. I think Drew Karpyshyn was the major champion of that. Tali's loyalty mission was all supposed to fit into that whole menagerie. The reapers existed to destroy civilizations and keep the energy reserves from getting too low. If Bioware <i>had</i> to go the whole moral gray area route, that would have been a WAY better one.
<p>
Kinda stonesy for Bioware to bring it up in a way shittier ending.

We wake up, and we see the true final enemy of the Mass Effect series.

You know, if I keep pulling baddies out of my hat, we never get to the true ending. We could just stay in this loop, couldn't we? The trilogy wouldn't ever end ...

"Bean, in addition to this being a brilliant stall, are you making a statement about how important an iconic final guy is to a series?"
<p>
What? I'm not that smart, don't give me that much credit.

Maybe give me a little credit.

... fine, I guess I have to end it some day. Here is the final enemy of the Mass Effect series, really for true.

<p>
Hmm, what <i>is</i> going on at BioWare? Great question, Shepard.
<p>
Allow me to answer for you.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/CohDnhX.jpg">
<p>
I googled Bioware to figure out how to draw their Edmonton office, aren't you proud of me?
<p>

<p>
A true piece of Mass Effect History: just after Mass Effect 3 was released, BioWare put out an app for iPad called Mass Effect: The Final Hours. It was a bunch of behind the scenes stuff.
<p>
In that app, they scanned in the one page (really) document that detailed their plan for the ending. <i>According to BioWare themselves,</i> this was their planning document. It's in two pieces because on the iPad, you'd have to scroll.

There's your warning.
<p>
(Also, Photobucket has become unusable for me because the ads get in the way. I'm trying Imgur, but it's behaving poorly too. Tell me if there's some kind of problem!)
<p>
Anyway, back on the Citadel with The Illusive Man:
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/M7V1oot.jpg">

<img src="http://imgur.com/WEz85kt.jpg">
<p>
Remember, always blue option Brother TIM.
<p>
<img src="http://imgur.com/KWOc3PT.jpg">
<p>
If you didn't know it by now, here you go, TIM's indoctrinated. He's been for a while, at least ever since we've seen him in the games.
<p>
Of course, if you read <A HREF="http://mspixel.blogspot.com/2012/08/ascension-quick-on-draw.html">Ascension</A> you knew that, or if you paid <A HREF="http://mspixel.blogspot.com/2015/11/cronos-station-mass-effect-ascension.html">attention to Cronos Station.</a>
<p>
Or if you just noticed how he's all "ooooo let's control some shit oooooo," that is also a big giant blinking clue.

Shepard manages to limp over the console and open the Citadel arms.

And thus Hackett docks the crucible in the Citadel.

I have done this blog for how many years and I can't draw the Citadel?
<p>
... let's not fuck around, I can't draw anything. Such as touching scenes with our commanding officer while he bleeds out:

Even though they're little spoilers, I marked them out. But the new Star Trek movie is an awesome Mass Effect movie, you should see it. You can see the uncensored version of this panel <A HREF="http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg550/beanbunnyblogger/new%20album/las390u_zpssbycezbl.png">here</A>.

There is one last panel, but it's actually a big Star Trek spoiler. If you've seen the movie, you can see the final panel <A HREF="http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg550/beanbunnyblogger/new%20album/las392u_zpshd0tnrzr.png">here</a>.

Meanwhile, Shepard is a charred husk, let's check that out.

YEAH HEY THANKS BIOWARE I wasn't using those biotics or anything! I guess the reapers burnt up her biotic amp?

So anyway, you have to use the gun.

<p>
So anyway, I can't hit the broad side of the barn with my gun true story.
<p>
As Shepard limps along, she finally gets to the final enemy of the game, a lone marauder.

<p>
Nerds call him Marauder Shields, because the HUD makes that look like his name.
<p>
There's a fan theory that he's Nihlus, which is pretty cute and I like it, even if it isn't true. But what could Nihlus be standing there, trying to warn us about?

<p>
A BIT OF MASS EFFECT HISTORY FOR YOU:
<p>
The ending of Mass Effect 3 was <i>so fucking bad</i> (I am not lying it is BAD) that Bioware released a DLC to fix it. This is called the Extended Cut.
<p>
I've actually never played it before MSPixel, so this is all new to me.
<p>
Anyway, some of this shit was in the old shitty ending, some of it is in the new shitty ending. I'll do my best to point out what's new and what's not.
<p>
In the Extended Cut, they added a shit ton of mako dodging. I don't know why the reapers decide to just flip makos at you, but this is happening.
<p>

<p>
Shepard gets Liara and Garrus to the Normandy for an evac. The Internet says this is an extended cut scene, but I <i>swear</i> I remember it in the original.
<p>
I do remember Mass Effect nerds unhappy with this scene, they wanted the scene to be longer. I was actually fine with this part of the ending -- they're being <i>shot at.</i> There's not a time for a Casablanca goodbye!

Bioware swore up and down that you'd be able to play Mass Effect 3 without the other two Mass Effects. I mean, I guess you can hold the controller and punch buttons, so it's not <i>un</i>true.
<p>
Major Coats weighs in too, but,
