    Japanese Culture as Reflected in Final Fantasy / Kingdom Hearts

    Can anyone here identify any themes or elements of the Final Fantasy / Kingdom Hearts series that reflect Japanese culture? In other words, does the series properly represent the beliefs, ideology, or values of the Japanese?

    KH I Needed for KH II?

    I want to introduce my girlfriend to Kingdom Hearts because she adores all things Disney and I think this would be a lot fo fun for her. I'm going to have to buy the games again as I seem to have lost my copies, but I don't want to get both since she may not even like the series. I was...

    Games to Live Action Movies

    First of all, I'm not really sure where this topic belongs. Sorry if this is the wrong section. Now, it would seem to me that the whole game-to-movie thing used to be taken into real consideration. The problem seemed that they either couldn't find a plausible, willing cast and director, or...

    Strength of the Soundtrack

    So, one thing I felt from my experience of FFXII (although it didn't really hit me until after my playthrough) is that the soundtrack was rather...average? I don't want to call it bad, because there wasn't necessarily anything wrong with it. It was just that nothing seemed very prominent or...

    Fantasy Realm of Tolerance...

    Sooo, a couple topics recently have got me thinking about this question. Just what or how much are these FF characters supposed to be able to endure? I used to think of things like getting shot with bullets or hacked a few times as an obvious gameplay-only factor (like with most games), but...

    Verizon LG EnV Internet Connector

    I've had my LG EnV for like ever. Unfortunately, its all but dead now. I'm planning on getting a new phone (and possibly a new service), but I'd like to store its data on the computer before I do that. Which leads me to ask... What exactly do I need to make this happen? I know a USB and CD...

    Anime Sports Series

    So what Sports anime/manga are you all fans of, if any? This could include anywhere from a basketball manga (IE Slam Dunk) to a Martial Arts manga (Tenjou Tenge) or Racing manga (Initial D). Whatever you consider a sport. The Sports series I am/was a big fan of is "Prince of Tennis". It's...

    Does The Name Sell The Games?

    So I was in G-Stop today, and I was browsing the DS games. I saw "Final Fantasy III", and I kind of chuckled a bit (a manly chuckle) because the cover art was...well, virtually non-existent. There was the graphic title, and nothing more to it. Yet that title alone was enough to make me stop and...

    Just How Important is a Laugh?

    *Note - So, before I start, I have to apologize if any of this is unclear... The thoughts in my head aren't entirely organized, so I'm not entirely sure how to structure this: This is something I've been thinking of for a couple of weeks now.. I was reminded of this joke that I heard a show...

    CC's inspiration?

    Was this game the inspiration or the mold for Crystal Chronicles? I've never played it, but from everything I've seen, it looks fairly similar as far as the job system, an even certain aspects of the plot. So can anyone confirm this?

    Perhaps a Change of Name?

    =[ I just looked up and thought this was called the "Sperm Coliseum". Tell me I'm not the first one. =x

    Plot Holes *SPOILERS*

    *The spoiler note was made because they're bound to arise in a plot-oriented thread* So I saw this subject come up in another (recent) thread and it surprised me a bit, as it seemed to have been implied that there were a number plot holes. I think that kind of thing comes up a lot because...

    Dissidia Voice Acting

    I'm really surprised this hasn't been made into a topic yet (or am I wrong?), considering all the "achievements" this game has made with the voice acting. Of course, there are many FF characters who didn't receive voices in their own respective installments. But because of this single game...

    This Game Screws with Your Head

    So, I've slowly but surely been replaying Final Fantasy IX (after many, many years). And one thing I've noticed along the way is how much the roaming of this game screws with you. A "!" "!" here, and a "!" "!" there, here a "!", there a "!", anywhere a "!, "!". There are so many (awesome)...

    Job Classes: In or Out?

    Job Classes have been around since the existence of FF, but as we all know, they haven't always been present or prominent in every game. How do you feel about them? Would you rather them there or not? Or would you rather the way specific games did it, such as: VII and VIII: Where you could...

    Do Some Cards...

    Get lost in the abyss? When you're playing Yugioh--err, Tetra Master, and you lose a card to someone that they stop using, is it gone forever? Does anyone know? I wasn't really sure if this was a general discussion or a help topic. I mean I don't really need "help" with anything, but I'm...

    What's your major?

    What's your major in College? For HS students, what do you plan on majoring in? For alumni, what was your major? Also, if you'd like to answer, what do you plan on doing with your major? As in, how are you going to apply it in life? I'm currently majoring in Pre-Med, though I don't...

    Blackjack Course (levels 100-150)

    Has anyone else got it or tried it? This course is extremely frustrating. For starters, the challengers are freaking insane. Some of them are absolutely fine. But as some of you may have experienced from the Lunar Whale Course, there's a potential that you could fight a far superior foe out of...

    Worst Music Videos

    Which videos do you think are amongst the worst? This isn't necessarily meant to be a bash thread, so please, no flaming and such. If you think the given video sucks, try to be more detailed than a simple "'cause it does". --- This thread was inspired by MGMT's "Kids" video. Oh dear goodness...

    Signature, please x.o

    So, after going through extensive things to get my laptop up and running, photoshop is out, which means I have no means of giving this a go. And there are people loads more talented than me on here anyway. Sooo, I was hoping if someone could make me a little Versus XIII signature banner...
