I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Final Fantasy physics". It was never really stated that the Final Fantasy world[s] necessarily follows different physics than ours. Yes, you have people pulling off feats that people in our world couldn't perform, but to say that we can't judge these feats...

What...? Where did you hear this? We were never in the entirety of the Compilation told who created the Masamune or the First Tsurugi. Yeah, you're correct in saying that there is a Japanese myth pertaining to the creation of the Masamune as a holy blade, but that sword has nothing to do with...

People were dying due to Geostigma, not Sephiroth's direct power. I just thought I'd point that out preemptively. And I don't think you realize the scope of what the Lifestream is really is. Everything that's ever lived on the Planet is a part of the Lifestream. Yes, many people on the...

Just to throw my own two cents in...Sephiroth had already been through a fight against Zack and had been run through by the Buster Sword (which had a blade as large as Sephiroth was) before Cloud managed to off him in a fit of vicious adrenaline. That doesn't show any weakness on Sephiroth's...

To be fair, I don't think those fights were supposed to be incredibly epic. Now, this is just my personal interpretation, but I believe that the Final Fantasy Ally fights were supposed to be building up to something epic (the 1000 Heartless Battle). Really, they did that quite nicely. It was...

I heard that. Man, when I first went into the 1000 Heartless Battle, I was expecting it to be indescribably epic. And, to be fair, the cut scene before the battle was pretty epic in and of itself. The actual fight, though, was a horrible disappointment. Seriously, I don't care if they want...

The fact is, there probably isn't a real reason for this. As stated, back in the ye olde days of Console RPGs, a game's story line wasn't heavily scrutinized like it would be today, even if it did receive a great deal of focus when compared to gameplay (as RPGs always have). For whatever...

Yes, we have seen canonical use of Materia, but we've never seen exactly which Materia Cloud has at his disposal, with the exceptions of I believe Thunder and Ice, which Cloud had at the beginning of the game and neither of which would be very useful against Chaos Vincent. The Protomateria is...

What difference does that make? We rarely see Cloud use Omnislash. In fact, there's only one canonical use of the technique on Cloud's part in the entirety of the compilation, and one canonical use of Omnislash v5 in Advent Children. By your logic, we shouldn't let Cloud have Omnislash. It...

The Protomateria may be an enhancement, but it's an enhancement that Vincent has at his disposal and can readily use at any given moment to turn into Chaos. The Protomateria is no more an "enhancement" than Cloud's sword or Vincent's gun. It's a piece of equipment that, according to the...

Not to sound like I'm putting down your opinion or anything, but I'm a bit confused as to how you could think that Kuja, of all people, is lacking in development, especially when compared to the likes of Sephiroth and Kefka. No doubt those two are probably much more evil than Kuja as far as...

Gameplay mechanics are, first of all, completely irrelevent, and the Protomateria is not a gameplay mechanic. It's directly referred to in the storyline, which means that it's not "just another powerup". Rather, it's a powerup that, according to in-game canon, Vincent has at his disposal...

*sigh* First off, portion=fraction...Must we split hairs here? Both "portion" and "fraction" are words used to describe parts of a whole. 4/5ths of a pie would still be a "fraction" of a pie, because it isn't the whole pie. Furthermore, there is regular, untainted Lifestream, Negative...

Yeah, but it isn't really a matter of balance, it's a matter of taking both characters at their strongest incarnations and pitting them against each other in a neutral, one-on-one battle. If we had to attempt to make the fight balanced by giving one character a handicap, it wouldn't really be...

Yeah, except that DoC showed that Vincent is, with the Protomateria, more than capable of controling Chaos. That means that Vincent can call on Chaos whenever he wants, at any given moment. We even see him turn into Chaos Vincent at a time where he's not in any sort of combat situation...

I'm not really sure where you got the idea that controlling the Negative Lifestream is a world-destroying ability. If Sephiroth could've used the Negative Lifestream to destroy the planet or even significantly damage it, I think he would've, even if he did want to toy around with Cloud for a...

Vincent gets his Chaos Form for the same reason Cloud gets his Mako and JENOVA Cell enhancements; it's a part of him. Besides, the way versus topics generally work is that we take both characters in their strongest incarnations and pit them against one another in a one-on-one duel that is...

Oh, come on, guys. Don't be too hard on the poor guy. Everyone has to start somewhere. Why, my first wall of text wasn't exactly a work of genius, either. You may turn the kid off to the forum experience altogether. Anyway, you're correct in assuming that, no, the Compilation of Final Fantasy...

A knife? Maybe not a knife. The distance between you and your opponent would have to be pretty small for a knife to really be effective against someone using a gun. If you're standing within, oh, say, ten feet of the person when the duel begins, then I'd say an actual sword like a katana...

I think it really boils down to this: Kefka- Personality Sephiroth- Style And yeah, actually, I go to the Dissidia board quite a bit. It's an...err...interesting place, to say the least. >_>;
