You responded. Now making a studious effort to not talk to you anymore.

Are/were you a fan of FF before XIII though?

I don't think there is anything blatantly wrong with the XIII trilogy unless you bring the story writing into it, but it's a direct departure from traditional Final Fantasy games.

I've been a FF fan since I got Final Fantasy II(IV) for my 8th birthday in 92. I would rank VI and VIII as my favorite non Metroid games of all time. I've been a massive FF fangirl for 20+ years.

What draws you to like the XIII trilogy?
(So many people despise it, so I'm curious about the other side of things)

That's it, Nintendo did what years of studying philosophy and talking with people couldn't.

I'm a socialist now. Feel the Bern etc. etc.

Lightning for one. Especially in XIII. People complain about her being aloof or whatever, but she is cold. She is a military leader, a female military leader and as such her demeanor makes perfect sense and I can super relate to it. In the whole trilogy I love the sisterly relationship and determination between Lighting and Serah.

Also, I love Sazh and his son's relationship. Fang is really cool too. I also LOVE XIII's combat system. The world and art design are fantastic.

I like the mechanics and time traveling in XIII-2. In LR I love how powerful Lightning is and despite that really just wants her sister. I love the ending and Reminiscence Lightning's new life.

socialism doesn't force people to use empathy though. her peers may very well have made the same decision that her gamergate attention was hurting their ability to make family friendly games and collectively forced her out instead of just the few on top

regardless there would need to be government regulation and for people to actually hold individuals responsible

You know, when I saw someone say 'PS4K' I thought that was a joke. I read that thread, and Evilore's totally unbiased VR - totally - sticky, and man, fuck gaming.

Yea, I read that sticky and about died with laughter. 'Lore's really going all in on VR with zero shame.

Whatever, another potentially failed peripheral isn't a big deal to me. It will either work out and catch on or it won't...

God damnit I'm an anarchist then!

Wait... nevermind, I'll just be a fascist tyrant who takes over the world and shapes it to how I deem socially fit. Nothing can go wrong with that.

I opened the thread, took a look at the wall of text, cried with laughter, and exited. I was tempted to ask for a tl;dr, but I'm not sure how that would go down with our Lord and Saviour.

I learned that the idea of a company submitting to the whims of the market was archaic. Justice and equality should be what drives the world forward. It was the pathetic rule of CEOs and politicians that caused morality to crumble into such incredible disarray. There is no way I will allow it to slip back in the dark ages. I'd like to make an announcement to the world: all world governments are no more. I have created a new Earth Dictatorship and I will continue to lead it into the future myself, bringing about a new era of empathy and equality for my people.

Wait why so much hate against FFXV in here?

I think it looks super creative

honestly the combat looks closer to what I was hoping FFXIII's would be based on teh trailers.

looks like a fun enough character action game

would probably have gotten more interest if it was marketed as a spinoff rather than a main entry in the series

See, nothing bad could happen.


Don't be afraid of the glorious VR future my gaming brother!

It is a higher level of gaming transcendence and certainly not another potential failed gimmick!

My problem is that they keep trying to shove her down our throats and she doesn't have enough to her to warrant that much exposure. Very few FF characters do.

had she not gotten power hungry and tried to build superweapons, I'm not sure how Tenzin and co could have justified their position of forcing a king on the people over hers. Straight up US style foreign policy


oh and the whole gulag thing...

What is wrong with the VR thread? I am not really into VR (yet) and it was quite some text...so could somebody give me a TLDR?

TLDR;

EviLore has drank the VR kool-aid and seems to think it's super important so made a sticky so people can read his essaylove note.

I liked the moral quandaries Korra was able to raise in some of their arcs, even if the answers weren't as effective as I wanted them to be.

I'm getting a haircut. This is a bad decision. I will be itchy the rest of the day.

Enjoy it while you can. *looks wistfully at his ever thinning hair*

They didn't really raise them in that arc though even though it was building up to the questions. they just went from making kuvira look simply incredibly effective to off her rocker

weird how the president of the united republic never bothered to propose a democracy or at least some sort of federation. they could easily have justify his support for the monarchy by showing he wanted wu because he could be easily controlled but otherwise it didn't make a ton of sense


it just seemed like they threw away an interesting grey morality situation so the viewers could know who to root for

I find Avatar too childish.

I made and heavily contributed to GAF's Naruto community.

Zaheer achieved the exact opposite of his goals. I always found that hilarious. Although his squad had the most interesting power set of any villain in the Avatar series.

TMI TIME:

I'm convinced my balls hang way lower than they should because I free-balled through most my teenaged years.

I always wore whitey tighties then I migrated to sporty boxer briefs.

My adequately sized balls have lots of support.
