Actually, the more freedom you give in a game, the harder it is to tell a compelling story. If you give someone freedom to do whatever you want, the narrative will suffer. That's just common sense. There you go on your FF4 rant. Did it steal your car or something? You seem to be the only one...

Soul Eater does get better, but I definitely understand how you feel. Try the series Monster or Ergo Proxy. Two pretty smart shows. Monster is a little harder to get ahold of (itunes store and amazon instant) but Ergo Proxy has a pretty cheap set as a re-release coming out at the end of the...

That's ridiculous logic. Especially on dubbing. Maybe ten years ago that holds true, but most dubs done nowadays are perfectly fine. Funimation has a ton of actors they use now and have gotten many new ones. Sentai is hit or miss, and Aniplex, when they do dub something tends to be pretty...

Yeah, $20 a week is better than nothing at all. Plus like you said, you could possibly use them as a reference. Always ask for them to be a reference and dont just put them on a resume. Trust me, Im self conscious about swimming too. I'm more hairy than I would like. Nothing a shaver doesnt fix...

Saying you dont believe it's hard to find a job and actually being able to find one are two different things. While I think that is BS, I do agree with your philosophy of getting yourself out there, even if you volunteer. Having a go at it attitude truthfully will help you. I just recently got...

That's all fine and dandy, but saying whether you buy for the story more than the gameplay and then saying gameplay takes precedence over any other feature, isnt true. Thats where preference comes in. As with what Omegadruid stated, I also play RPG's for the story more than any other aspect. So...

But it's still the job system. They added a few refinements, but that's essentially it. With FFVII they added limit breaks and the materia system to change how your character develops and fights. In FFVIII they used the junction system as well as going further and making the limit breaks more...

Ah yes, since I like one game you dont, let's not take my opinions on games seriously. How mature of you. Funny thing is, FF8 is my favorite game in the series, which agrees with your whole "It's underrated" jargon. I've beaten FF5 three times and have done EVERYTHING in that game. Having a...

My favorite is FFVIII. It's one of the easier ones though, but it could be a pretty good starting point.

I'd argue being a carbon copy is a huge de-evolution for a series that constantly changes and does something new. And 3/4 of the characters in FF5 were bland and uninteresting, as well as the main villain being so boring and uninteresting he became a void/wanted to bring people into a void of...

I agree especially on Baccano. The anime is only a piece of the full story.

One thing I was to say to Cloud8: Never apologize or think you are weird for something you genuinely like. I let other people's opinions get the better of me most of high school and went through alot of unneeded crap due to my interests like jrock (though never anime oddly). Eventually I said...

Well at first, I kind of want to be the one posting the music. Once I run out of bands, then I was going to open it up and start having people post their specific songs they are listening too (or make a whole new thread for it afterwards). This is more to find out about some new bands and such...

Worse? I'd say FF5 is the worst. It was essentially a carbon copy of 3 with a different, but still horribly mediocre story. At least with FFXIII they tried something different.

Great post. I feel the same way. I come to expect highs and lows from the FF series. They try new things essentially every time so they are bound to have some really great ideas and some not so great ones. Plus I try to enjoy games the best I can since it's my favorite hobby.

Im hoping alot of people are starting to watch anime through legal sources. The anime industry is not doing all that great, partially due to fansubbers etc. With so many options like Netflix, Hulu, amazon video service, crunchyroll, funimations elite, viz, and so on, fansubs are essentially...

Now here, when you explain your reasoning, I definitely see your point. I actually agree with these points. The first game's world did lack exactly that: Consistency. I think the mythos and the world/characters/gods/ect, have alot of potential and backstory (which there are some things explained...

I think they have plenty of ideas, I just think with games costing so much to make right now, SE is afraid, and possibly unable to with their current engine, to put out a brand new game within a reasonable amount of time. They could start a new entry now on the FFXIII engine and take 3-4 years...

Haha I can see where you may say that but I think it's more the other way around. I love Gackts music and liked Genesis as a character, but Gackt lies alot about stuff. Like the whole Squall thing. Gackt said Nomura modeled him after him but Nomura came out and said that's false and he was...

I didnt disagree with you for the hell of it, did you even read what I wrote. I gave a clear reason why. And the Cloud bit you posted is utter BS. He changes completely throughout the course of the game. I dont need you to tell me to learn about the differences between how characters develop and...
