It's nothing. I thought I'd just be ousted or my opinion was considered invalidate by popular vote, or that the conversation existed solely for laughing at my expense. Fine with that, I still think that's what it is to most but there you go. Years of youtube and seeing people do silly things...

I'll end this with an explanation for my tone: I'm easily pissed off when people respond more immediately once they harbor hatred, disagreement or are in conflict mode. Out to satiate or embellish their reputation with stories of victory, when I'm looking for neither dominance or validation by...

Heh, I apologize. It's a pet peeve because I think people who define themselves by culture/language/loopholes and stuff like the absolutely wild straw man argument you pulled out of your ass (Tekken) are an... Unwanted pain to deal with, if you're going to take that tone. I mean if you want I...

Also forgive/merge double post or delete if it's an issue, one off. There is an instance where I think plot escapes my definition of presentation/pretense, and that's when it offers player fidelity. Deus Ex. The few scenes in FFVII that diverted the main plot, though they're all disproved by...

I think what we're experiencing is a simulacra issue. Language is sort of confining me to an illusory weakspot. Allow me; Plot, atmosphere all fall under the collective umbrella of presentation. And my definition of pretense, is anything besides the core mechanic - this is probably misleading...

Edit: This post's @Fef. (Though anyone can respond idc) Heh, hasty responses. I hope it doesn't seem like I'm provoking an argument, but I do find the different views fun to match against. It's cool. Yeah you're right there are some JRPGs from before FFVII that were very unique and strong...

If you're going to look at things with such a generalizing overview you're probably not very right brained. No, perhaps that's not it - maybe you just don't realize how pathetically generic most JRPGs had been up until that point. Aerith's death was considered revolutionary at it's time for how...

It's funny, when you break down pretense to it's raw context that covers things like... Technology shock, revolutionary features, flash over function. Those things pretty much defined FFVII. I mean yeah they didn't overtake it, but it was the first at many things. It's not a bad thing to be...

Exercise makes my day. Pretty much kills stressors, faster than any drug. Feel so damn lucid even after some raw squats. It's a mind changer. Running around the block regularly alone blew antidepressants off of my prescription feed.

This message has been retooled to you from one of my Skype conversations, but every word of this was/is mine. Perhaps the biggest issue with all this is to me is that... A real ffvii remake can't just be an ffvii remake, like how a real satanist can't believe in the lore as theocratic heresy is...

Quinton Flynn for Cloud's new voice plzkthx.

If I pretend XIII and XIII-2 are the same game, just a Disk1/Disk2 combination, will I be able to think of the game as actually good and XIII as a non disappointment?

I really miss when we were uber hyped for the FNC. It's like a lot of game sequels at the time really, close but no dice.

Guts plz.

I figured we could use this to discuss the LTD externally without derailing it. I just wanted to say Adriane's 'barret/woman side' classification is hilarious.
