I can't really say I'm talking WITH people as much as I am just talking about anything that pops into my head.

Well considering I am half dreaming at the time, I don't think it would be a good idea to speak.

"So did you watch the match last night?"

"yeah... the ice cream tastes goood"

"what?"

The only big problem I have with it is my head gets swampy. I always feel foggy and slow until three or four hours after waking up, sometimes to the point of being physically ill.

A lot of the time the first thing I do after waking and sitting up in bed is try and control my gag reflex. It's like vertigo or something.

This is exactly what I have.

I want to get up early, often I need to, but I feel ill, simply ill. I rarely eat breakfast, so I just have lunch as my first meal of the day when my body aclimatises to life again, following sleep.

Swampy's a great expression too. My vision and brain don't feel connected, and I move around on impulse rather than concentrated thought.

Feels a bit like an anxiety attack, but for no apparent reason. I do get anxiety attacks sometimes, like today, I was sat in a hairdressers waiting for a cut and my vision just went blurred and I felt like shit. Then when the woman called me over to wash my hair in preparation for the cut I felt slightly better.

I was fine once I sat down and started speaking to the guy who cut my hair. Once I'm engaging with people I'm fine, it's just the anticipation part before that kills me.

Not even the best SNES game.

Come at me.

There are a lot of magnificent games on SNES, but sorry, Chrono Trigger is still the best.

We're still friends though, Marrec. <3

OOOH. I wouldn't go so far my friend. I am an FFVII person myself.

HERESY

(it's cool, I hear that. I still think Chrono Trigger is far far better)

Chrono Trigger has better story pacing, better twists, a multitude of endings, and an incredibly well fleshed out and diverse cast. Also, I love being able to mix techs together to do new attacks.
 
Or Might and Magic III, or Act Raiser.

I adore Act Raiser, I really do, but Chrono Trigger is way WAY better.

See? Professor Beef knows where it's at.

The real crime, honestly, is that my roommate has never played through Chrono Trigger. He even has the game on DS, but got bored an hour in. It's really unfortunate.

I will say this though: I think Xenogears has the best storyline of any Square RPG. Incredibly convoluted, but great all the same. Overall I think FFVII is the better game.
 
I love Chrono Trigger, but I have never liked Akira Toriyama's art style and it really permeates the game making it hard for me to enjoy it as much as I should.

Xenogears holds a very special place in my heart. I love that game. But yes, overall, FF7 is a better game than Xenogears.

What the hell am I saying. Tactics Ogre was the best SNES game.

Okay, you got me. Tactics Ogre is perfection.

(The PSP version is better, though)

FFVI > Chrono Trigger > FFVII
 
FFVI > Chrono Trigger > FFVII

I do consider FFVI and CT to be neck and neck.

That said, once Marrec said Tactics Ogre, I had to concede.

Tactics Ogre is perfection in a cartridge/UMD.

The best line in Tactics Ogre PSP is a death quote for one of the enemy units: "an ill turn". It's so understated that it becomes chivalrous. I want those to be my last words before I die.

"An ill turn."
 
People say this, but I just prefer the more mature storyline of FFVII. Because VI was on the snes, it meant it was never really that mature.

I dunno about that. FFVI featured the bad guy winning and destroying the world.

Yeah because if he included both we know FE4 would win.

Well no, because Tactics Ogre already won.

Nope, FE4 has Sigurd and the most evil Nintendo Villain ever.

I can't believe anybody that says FFVII is more mature than VI when we have Tifa's waterballoon CG tits making Newton roll around in his grave enough to make Sonic dizzy.

Tactics Ogre has no evil (besides the last boss). Merely sides and special interests. That's what is so absolutely genius about it.

That game was so good that a port of it was the second best handheld RPG of this generation.

It helps that Matsuno treated the Tactics Ogre remake like a new game.
 
Eww, gross. Video games in OT!

Dookkake, what happened to our hookers and blackjack?

Yeah, like pretty much every RPG. Even though people die, lots of people die, in VI, it still never really felt quite as dark and mature as VII. It's the dialogue mainly I guess.

I don't see it personally, but hey, you feel what you feel. Honestly, I thought VII's dialogue was confusing and generally badly translated.
 
I loved Kefka. He was like Final Fantasy's equivalent of The Joker.

I do too, but he isn't exactly a candidate for showing maturity in games. Really, when it comes down to a clown and a guy with an impossibly long sword who has issues with his mother, it's sort of a tossup.

I go for the sadomasochistic clown, personally.

Uh, did I commit to that?

I dunno, i was drunk.
 
Well, VII delt with death in a very dramatic way. I also felt Sephiroth was a much darker character than Kefka.

I think the issue with how VII handled death is that it's inconsistent with how the world operates. I don't have a problem with a character dying, but when you've had the ability to save characters with phoenix downs and Life the entire game, it rings a little false that THIS time, this is REAL death.
 
I don't own either one. Also a friend of mine has been bugging me to buy it for weeks now. It's still only $20 on PSN, right?

Should be. I haven't looked. I highly recommend it. It's the be all end all of Strat RPGs.

Dramatic, yes, but mature? There was death in VI too, though it was far more understated. Also, I found the characters (I'm talking about the core characters here, not the weirdos on the edge) much more believable in VI. I can't even argue about the villains, when it comes to maturity, since neither of them are.
