What if Great Gospel actually made it rain for real? :awesome:

??????? This has absolutely nothing to do with the argument I was making. I am not arguing that it would be too expensive. I am not saying I wouldn't want an open world Midgar. No one on this forum wouldn't want that. I am not at all saying "think realistically." I am saying is that, from a...

I mean there's Wutai, and saving Vincent. But really I'm not just thinking of stuff THAT big, I'm thinking of little optional things along the way that aren't vital to story, but can yield extra items/scenes. The Honey Bee Inn, Gold Saucer, Turtle's Paradise Posters, Snow. Heck, even the draws...

I actually hate this idea?? For pacing's sake. Do you really think you would sit there and play like 100 hours of gameplay and then be willingly dragged back into the storyline of the game? Optional side missions in games are scattered throughout for a reason. You don't want that completely...

I am going to have to take back this post in honor of Donald Trump. Everything makes complete sense now.

Ahaha, I just recently watched a friend of mine play it for the first time. That is a great way of vicariously living through someone else's experience. I still have regrets about never being able to sit down and make a friend from high school play through the game, because I knew she was...

I have had that feeling before, like the more I replay the game and the more I watch other people play it, the more familiar with the game I get, the more the magic and the surprise gets stripped away and the more it becomes just a game. My general rule with revisiting things is to do it only...

I was thinking about this too, actually. Katakana has hard and fast rules. Unlike latin characters, pronunciations can't be left up to interpretation. I've used it a lot to make sense of bullshit fantasy names in manga. Everything had definite pronunciations all along, we just don't know all...

Ehhh but this is the excuse game developers use to justify making all main characters white guys. Is it really that hard to identify with characters that don't look or sound like you?

I feel conflicted about things. I want to agree with you, but I have a lot of sympathy for people feeling that way, because I think we all do it. There certainly is a different feel to someone who dislikes a thing due to actual legitimate reasons, and someone who hates a thing due to...

I do think that sometimes people hate something because of preconceived reasons they're bringing to the table, and in that case it may or may not be about the thing itself. But if someone is feeling that way by no means would I force them to sit down and spend time with something they don't enjoy.

Disagree strongly. Not being able to finish something is one type of experience someone can have with a thing. If someone does not finish a video game because they found it incredibly unfun, that is their experience, and it is a valid review. I disagree with this attitude some people have that...

Oh absolutely. That would be terrible. Though if they had some more organic, manual way of allowing you to leap in front of an ally, like something resembling the lil flips you can do on the dissidia 012 world map, that'd be fun. I did those flips all over that map.

I never used cover in the original game because I didn't understand any circumstance under which I would ever want one party member to take the damage for two. Why do you think it would be cumbersome? I'm assuming it would be an AI party member jumping in front of the player character. I...

Dude if they could manage some way of making a party member actually LEAP in front of you to take a bullet for you, i would actually find that so delightful and fun to watch I would use that materia ALL THE TIME.
