The mod may not suck but bf probably does (Iykyk)
i'm convinced Benjamin's parents are in jail after chapter 5
I do enjoy this mod and agrees with all the points made. Although I found boyfriend’s VA’s voice direction to be kind of shit, especially in those emotional moments. Shini mentioned that the dialogue of Ben liberating himself from the parents was all they wanted to say to their abusive parents. It should be a big moment, so having ChaosBeGone’s voiced direction be so monotone doesn’t fit the vibe. And with the pacing, because they need to fit a whole story so that it’s a parallel to the 7 week style of the original FNF(having this be an alternate universe) there isn’t time to flesh out much of the characters. Grace’s treatment of being overly obsessive has been toned down with the dialogue changes and new weeks added. There’s a lot of good ideas, but they’re poorly executed, but with the limits they have it’s not entirely their fault. I give this mod a 9/10. It’s much better than the original by so much. ❤
The only 2 things I actually had a problem with in the mod was Ben’s very monotone voice, and the art inconsistency in almost every week
0:50 oh hey that's me holy fuck
The mod has improved a lot and everything but DEAR LORD what were they thinking with Pico's haircut? If I was Pico, I'd tape the hoodie to my forehead just to hide how bad that hairdo is.
I'm happy I could get your attention to return. I will say some of the mods are just coming out now, such as Flavor Rave V2 and Step Right Up: Adventure Isle is definitely worth a look. Sorry I didn't have time to watch the video hour 1, tho.
Soft mod is just "Aww look at the cute boys look look"
6:30 that train looks….similar
4:10 BF = Benjamin Fairest You can still call him BF
They got rid of muscle man and Barack Obama:(
surprised you didn't mention how attrocious week 6 was. bf and pico decided to completely ignore how senpai seems to literally be mentally ill (way too aggressive) and generally gives off massive "deadbeat and wife abuser" vibes, just because he "has a soft side" and "was probably just trying to get a revenge". ...or the fact that bf and pico are still just casually headbobbing when gf has a mental breakdown at the end of week 4 ._.
I personally liked V2. Soft has always been one of my favourite mods. I don't really understand why people dislike the mod. I kinda liked the vastly different art styles, cause to me, it shows the unique ways the artists portray the characters.
Glad you liked it more. I don’t know whether v1 or v2 is better. On one hand, nostalgia is a hard thing to beat but on the other hand v2 improves nearly everything so I really don’t know. And besides I have my problems with both versions. I hate skid and pump’s design in both, grace’s design in v1 ain’t the best. Most of the soundtrack in v1 is mediocre and just the original fnf songs and I don’t know how to feel about v2’s soundtrack but I’m happy they did original songs now though I have listened to a few mainly my favorite songs from v1, it’s complicated, hope and genesis, to put it simply, I prefer v2 it’s complicated but I prefer v1 hope and genesis. So overall happy you came around because this mod is way too overhated and to the people calling this mod a “bf x pico wattpad 18+ fanfiction” mod and is serious about it. Stop talking this nonsense and watch the actual mod. I’ll respect your opinion but seriously that needs to stop because that is just factually incorrect. It has bf x pico but it’s not the focus. The focus is abuse and trauma so please shut up and watch the actual mod. Anyway sorry for this long tangent, I’m just a massive fan of this mod and glad you really liked it.
I think the problem I have with the art isn't that it's bad, but rather there is a bit too much style clash. BF and Pico aren't updated in art style at all, Father Fairest, Mother Mairest, AND Grace all have different art styles from each other and it is pretty noticeable
one of the reasons i love soft v2 is that it does not have any fucking lyrics
It never sucked, man. It's not poorly written. As a victim of mental abuse, and it seems some of the people who worked on it are as well, Soft BF's struggles are very well represented. And the entirety of Week 5 is an incredible moment. To see him finally being able to stand up to his toxic parents (who's speeches are also good representations of the way abusive parents talk) was really inspiring to me. Father and Mother Fairest aren't just "bad people", they're abusers. Their abuse led to BF having trauma and to his trust in himself being barely existant. That's why he runs. He doesn't have the confidence to face them. He's scared of them after everything they've done to him and pretty insecure overall. But thanks to Pico, the one supportive person in his life, he starts to heal. It's a slow process, but eventually in Week 5, he gains the confidence to stand up to his parents. As for GF, she isn't evil. Antagonist doesn't mean evil. Her parents are also toxic, but it seems that she was the "golden child" unlike BF who was the "scapegoat child". GF was treated well by her parents because she fell in line and listened to what they said without question. She believes their toxic points of view because of that, but she's a victim too in her own way. She just doesn't realize it. FNF Soft is great. Just because you can't relate to other people's struggles doesn't mean it's bad. Even the original was never bad. It was clearly meant to represent the creator's struggles with being abused and being able to make a story and a character who can finally tell their abuser to f*ck off, something they probably can't do because facing your abusers can be really tough. And when BF did stand up to his parents, it was so satisfying. I personally love Week 5 and the song Hope to death.
while the music is an improvement (and the art is better but still inconsistent), the real issue with this mod comes down to the story. they had 2, nearly 3 years to improve the writing and they didnt. its still forced, contrived, cliched, ugh its got it all
Yes. It does.
