FFVll Fans: Was Barrett c00ning?

[Master Teacher]

Whatever your low self esteem is showing

lmao what does this have to do with low self esteem and you avoided the question that remake pic is not a black man clearly

Barrett da gawd


Only time I didnt use him was when he was stuck with a melee weapon like atomic scissors.



Them starting me was a hard team to shake off tifa cloud and barrett's.

yeah from a gameplay standpoint barrett is a powerhouse him and tifa because I like characters who are hand to hand fighter and cid were always in my party.

Barret was inspired by Mr. T. He is definitely black. This has already been official confirmed.

The English translation doesn't change hardly anything dialogue wise. I have the Japanese version of the PS1 game till this day.


Anyone saying he's not black is retarded. If anything, they made him less black in the remake but he's clearly being voiced by a black male for a reason. Why the fukk would Asians hire a black guy to voice a non-black guy? Asians hate blacks, they not hiring a black male to do a VO for no reason.

 

[Mowgli]

The banter between him and cloud in the demo was pretty funny

[Daio]

This disrespect.


He was a real nikka who I never used.

until you needed him for the elevator fight with the robot at Shinra HQ

 

[Luke Cage]

Ok, I just found out that Barrett was directly inspired by Mr. T. That explains alot and i no longer think it's c00ning.

 

[Yapdatfool]

I had a breh named Barrett as a IT manager once... first thing I thought of was FF7

Was he a black stereotype? Yes.

Did he have an epic backstory? Also yes.

Though I prefer every black character in Anime/games be a stereotype of Blade instead of Mister T. Also, braids/afro's don't make you black. Apparently Japanese game developers have never heard of biracial/south African folk.

well thats random

 

[Luke Cage]

That's a high top fade

Besides the fact that this is a video game not real life. They been fukking up black poeple hair for decades in animation. Even on NBA 2k20 you got black folks hair not looking accurate.

 

[BulletProof]

Japanese culture was most exposed, at the time, to black culture in gangsta rap.

The fukk did you expect?

A few years later you got FF13 with a beta male with a bird in his afro like Kanye.

well thats random

I take it you haven't seen how black people are portrayed in Anime/Games?

Google is your friend.

Before gangsta rap there was the whole "Soul" culture and of course big figures like Mr. T, Mike Tyson etc.

Barret is based on those dudes not necessarily gangsta rap tropes.


On topic:
He's fukking dope.

Barrett One of the best videogame characters out there
