Okay. I get what you're saying. Before, it had the drama, but it also had enough lightheartedness to make it fun. Before, it was a thinking feller's game. Before, it was less about style and more about substance. This is a bittie list of some of the things I think make a game a Final...

To all the folks knocking me for calling them kids: Change your whippersnapping name to bitteryoungman/bitteryounglady. I've called myself bitteroldman, hence my calling you kids and whippersnappers. You bitteryoungfolks oughtta learn to take a joke. ANNNNND I agree that someone shouldn't...

I agree with the art, but the game itself is solid. For a silent protagonist, this sure was a wonderful story. Here's a question for the forum: What does a solid sequel for Chrono Trigger look like, and on what platform? What would you do with the story? Would you have new characters, or the...

But the baby was alive. Awareness isn't a classification for life. Is it okay to shoot comatose people because they're no longer aware of being alive, regardless of whatever their wishes may be? It can be compared to shooting someone in the head because it is forcefully ending a human life...

FF7 is both under- and overrated. It's underrated by many who say it wasn't all that with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and chopped peanuts. Because VII made a jerk the hero, brought the RPG a bit away from sword and sorcery, and raised the bar unbelievably high for the genre. FMVs, 3D...

Son, pull up a chair. *puts feet down in recliner, takes off glasses, looks at you with a stern gaze, yet a glistening is in his eyes* Do I disagree with these actions? Yes. Their actions are wrong. Do you realize what a position this can put the girl in? Do you realize how emotional, how...

Good sir, you have just won the thread. My views on abortion are that it sucks. Child of incest? Still a child. Child of rape? Still a child. Why should one trauma be answered with another? (It is well-documented that this can be very traumatizing for the lady involved.) Let me tell you a...

Androgynous males is a trend in Japanese pop culture; not just FF. (Almost every anime I used to watch had some pretty-boy that could basically kill at will, and an underage hero). Also, though, it's been a trend in American pop culture. (I'm not ascared of vampires anymore, because I want to...

I'm pretty sure it's an average. My Squall and Zell are uber-high level. If I let some of the weaker members in the party, the battles get easier, even if I have either Squall or Zell in there, as compared to having them both in.

It's one of my fav-o-rite books of all time. Yea, it can be boring. But at the end, your eyes will fall out of your head. Coupla things: 1. kids in WW2 England weren't as stuck-up as kids in America. 2. There are many, many ways to read into this literature. I had to read it as a sophomore in...

FFIV: Cecil winning over Rydia after his crime. Mt Ordeal. Edward vs the Dark Elf. Tellah's sacrifice and Kain coming back. FFVI: Opening scene. The split-party quest (Locke in S Figaro; Sabin to the Veldt; Terra and Edgar on the River). Bringing it back together to fight Kefka. The end of the...

Whippersnapper! You don't know what you're missing! Truly, truly, truly, one of the best RPGs I've ever played. Top 5 for sure. The fact is that Chrono Trigger MUST be doing well enough for a sequel, because they keep remaking it. Why not tell the truth? Chrono Cross proves they don't know how...

I liked the change from the old fight scenes. However, I didn't like working with gambits like this. Anytime there was a problem with my setup, I was annoyed at having to go into the menu and rework the gambits for one fight, only to have to rework them again after the battle. I would have liked...

Hmph. I don't think I could live in Alexandria. It's beautiful and all. I could visit on my sparse vacation time, or on an errand to destroy the status quo. No offense to anyone present, but I'm old-fashioned and grouchy; I wouldn't do well in a matriarchal society. Lindblum? Great place. I...

My take on the relationship was that Rydia saw right through Edge. She might be interested, but not in getting played. It was obvious that he was interested in her, and her attitude toward him only made it more real for him. When she showed whatever interest in him at the end of the game, he...

I wouldn't mind a smaller-scale story that involved some new characters either surviving the onslaught that is VII, the aftermath of same, or even some time after the whole deal. The settings are fantastic, and could be used for many great stories. But a direct sequel with these characters? No...

The Prince of Persia or Link, I think. Or Locke, of course. If I were Zidane, I'd be a happier person.

Something in your brain doesn't get triggered when you're online; the part that tells you you're actually communicating, which means someone reads what you write. In your mind, it's like an interactive diary. Or a videogame. The hind parts of your silly human brain doesn't connect words on a...

Cid vs. Tellah all over again, eh?

Tidus is speed-based, used light weapons and has techs classically attributed to thieves (steal, taunt, flee, etc.), so I included him.
