    The Genesis Sequel

    listen, if you have a better idea of who genesis could possibly fight i'd LOVE to hear it, but as it stands there is a vacuum in the place of genesis' antagonist in ff vii-2. It's a simple fact. If you can posit anyone more likely than sephiroth please, go for it. But when i look...

    The Genesis Sequel

    again, opinion and fact are no polar opposites, there are plenty of things that fall into neither camp. such as a lie, this is neither opinion, nor fact. An argument outside of value judgment (ie this is good or bad) is also neither of these. a hypothesis is neither. a theory is neither. in...

    The Genesis Sequel

    no, it's an argument based on my observation. anything that is not fact is not automatically an opinion. yes, the fact that cc has been out for less time certainly influences the numbers, but it's not meaningful to the FACT that it simply couldn't have those kinds of sales by the...

    The Genesis Sequel

    zack and genesis' conflict is resolved. genesis and sephiroth's is not. As for a new threat? i doubt it. Sephiroth is certainly tired, but Genesis, sephiroth, hojo/weiss all within 10 years of each other makes sense because they are all the results of the same experiments (hojo being...

    The Genesis Sequel

    "You're saying its not an opinion, ergo it's a fact. And if its a fact, then there must be tangible, objective evidence to demonstrate said position." false polarization. it is not an opinion OR fact it's an argument. just 'cause i don't have square's...

    The Genesis Sequel

    "And I'm *not* postulating a Zack/Genesis conflict. I'm pointing out that Genesis's main conflict wasn't with Sephiroth. It was with Zack. You're pushing Genesis and Sephiroth together when really, it was Zack that he had the most conflict and antagonism...

    The Genesis Sequel

    there was no logical way for him to come back after ff vii either. again the argument is based on the principles of marketing, not an opinion. just 'cause someone says something that you don't agree with doesn't make it an opinion. an opinion would be i think they...

    you response doesn't attack the premise of the arguement rendering it invalid. you seem like a smart guy and i trust you can do better.

    The Genesis Sequel

    it's not my opinion that it's in square's best interests to revive sephiroth. It IS reasonable however that it's in square's FINANCIAL best interests to revive sephiroth. FF VII-2 will appeal to a wider audience than the compilation fans. They will play the game based...

    nope...no evidence at all...clearly all fanboyism

    The Genesis Sequel

    its not conjecture, well the end was, but the meat of the post wasn't. The actual point (the only logical, existing character for genesis to square off against is sephiroth, and a new threat wouldn't be nearly as compelling from genesis' perspective), still hasn't been...

    The Genesis Sequel

    First of all, this isn't JUST a game about genesis. This is probably the end of the whole compilation, so they are going to want to harp on the nostalgia. That means rehashing old characters. Sorry, its just true. Second of all, the original topic was about who would be in conflict with...

    The Genesis Sequel

    well, if i had such a low opinion i wouldn't be here, but i do believe that they will do everything to turn the idea (sephiroth's return) on its head. i still think that genesis and a few other pary members going into the lifestream to take on sepheroth's will, taking the fight to...

    The Genesis Sequel

    you know what? you're right, it is limited thinking. it is lazy. it is even silly. they certainly could tell a much better story. but does that mean they will? again set aside what you want, look at it objectively, and attack the premises if you want the argument to crumble. just saying...

    The Genesis Sequel

    You're right, the game was shit, making square return to the roots of the series in CC. You can bet that they will continue on this course. everybody's already terrified that the compilation will be oversaturated with new characters (one of the complaints with DOC). I believe that...

    The Genesis Sequel

    dude, they're a major company. they're financial interests, and the fanboys are whats at heart. is it not hugely obvious to you that they're just gonna look for a way to reinvent and revitalize the plot that's worked so well up till now? especially after the financial failure...

    The Genesis Sequel

    let me lay this out in logical argument format. objective analysis beyond all of our "wants" for what will happen in the sequel. contention: sephiroth will return in some form point 1 - It is in squenix's financial best interests to bring back sephiroth for one final, decisive...

    The Genesis Sequel

    watch and see, there is no other way they can cap off the compilation. they know this. i promise you sephy/jenova WILL be back in the next installment. maybe in a different form. maybe with a different face. but in the end, if they really believed the central conflict was resolved, they...

    The Genesis Sequel

    the only way to make a full blown FF VII-2 is to extend and develop the central conflict. otherwise it's just a spin-off game. a different conflict in the same world ie DOC and CC. in order to really make it feel like FF VII-2 this is the path they must take. if genesis was the final boss...
