Shit, I WISH more JRPGs took lessons from Chrono Trigger. Maybe then I'd play more of 'em.
-perfect pacing, a lean, filler-free 20-25 hour length of time
-sidequests that actually matter to the character outside of fetch 10 monkey butts here and bring them there
-Classic fairy tale storytelling instead of generic anime melodrama
-No grinding necessary, a great difficulty curve
-NO RANDOM BATTLES
-A fast-paced, fun, and varied combat system, with real team chemistry to mix and match with.
Instead we got everybody following in FF7's footsteps, bloated 40+ hour slogs of random battles, grinding, convoluted battle systems, and shonen anime tropes and cliches.
Ya'll need to skip all that Persona shit and get on that Far Cry 3, that real nigga shit.

I liked some things about FC2, but this game takes everything good about it and gets rid of all the junk. It's the truth, man. Possibly GotY for me at this rate.
The game hasn't even come out yet!
Chrono Trigger took like 70 hours for me to beat :/
This, Grandia and Xenogears were the best battle systems. imo
First Hurricane hate, now this slander? Me and you are going to have to meet at an abandoned quarry to settle this.

The best battle system is not having a battle system at all. Who the fuck wants to hit a button and watch someone do some shit?
wait, which hurricane? i hate so many things, its hard to keep track.
but yeah, ill see you on that cross tip. we still have cyclops related issues unsettled

Quiet sugar grits!
Is your avatar referencing subway?
Please dont tell me your about those struggle sandwich as well.
Just a plain better design. But it is your right to be wrong.

You guys eat grits but diss Subway?

I know right. These guys...
that overly shiny green? no. if it were metal, maybe you would be closer to correct.

FF8 is misunderstood. FF4 is worse than sugary grits that have been in the sun for a week.
if i worked at Subway i'd have a piss poor attitude too. the customers are generally awful.

Grits are amazing when done right.
Subway is terrible bread with pre sliced meat. Almost any deli will give you a better sandwich for the same price.
Oh no this motherfucker didn't...
That's it. I gotta get out of this thread. Dealing with yall is gonna get my blood pressure all up.

Subway is the official struggle chain sandwich.
I'm not above a struggle footlong every now and then though.
Quiznos is much better imo, capriotti's is good too. I had earl of sandwich in downtown disney last week and its pretty good, but pricey.
Pastrami at Langer's in LA is that "movin' on up, to the east side" fastfood sandwich.

I mean, Subway is the struggle, but I'd eat it over grits any day.
Preach, my brother.
Preach, my brother.
...I'm outta here.
If you going to get subway you might as well make a sandwhich at your house.
damn i could go for some pastrami on a day like today. i only wish the hat wasnt a hike to get to.
it's 8 bucks on Wii shop. Also there are versions on DS and iPhone I think. Not sure about PSN.

PSN version is the garbage PS1 port. Get the DS version, but it's probably much more expensive.

Once you have langer's there's no going back.
$20 for a #19....god....my god....lord.....dear lord.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Yeah I don't begrudge that but I've worked in retail plenty (not anymore, thank the stars) so I always try to be the easiest customer ever even when they fuck up my order most times I won't say anything unless it's awful. And yet still consistently get the stink-eye and I think, "damn volunteer servers at the soup kitchen working for free have better attitude than this."

When you live in a small town, you don't gotta a lot of options, and you gotta make due with that Subway
and by "Subway", I mean drive your ass to Quizno's instead. There's only like 3 different sandwich chains here, I got enough sense to go to the right ones.

How many of them died, and how many times? Because that's all I remember about FF4.

Muthafu.... Man, I was about to lay into you, but peeps already beat me to it and no sense beating a dead horse.
Look, FF8 may of had some type of good "story" or some mess, but sucking out my magic/abilities is just plain wrong. That's some seriously tedious shit there.
You know, I love it up here in Greater Boston, but when a Quizno's get shut down but they open ANOTHER Subway near the college. And as far I can tell, there's only one Popeye's but quite a few KFC's but only the 4... wait, one burned down... 3 in the hood actually have spicy and the rest have a fucking Toxic Hell attached to it and NO hot sauce, it doesn't bode well for fried chicken. Sorry for the rant, but it's kinda ridiculous. And the West Indians don't know how to make southern fried around here. Well, there's a new Carolina style BBQ that opened in town me and the wife are going to try out, wish my taste buds luck!
