Heh, we're pretty much on the same page. I loved the freedom that FFVI afforded, because I love non-linearity in my games. I also did dig FFIX, Vivi rules, although I personally wasn't too big on Zidane. However, unlike you I can go back, because to me really good games always stand the test of time. However, I play my GBA more than my PS2, so consider that. I'd REALLY hate X, then.

Yeah, pretty much. Saying "this is the best" because a certain game is popular or some critics say so isn't good enough for me. If you can can convince me of it then please try. I do rag on Sakura a bit, but it's all in jest really. I never intended on hurting her feelings or anything, but we disagee 90% of the time and I at least try to give reasons when we BUTT heads over a certain difference of opinion. As stated previously, most people familiar with RPG series outside of the Final Fantasy series state that FFVII isn't even the best RPG, let alone best game ever. For example, IN MY OPINION none of the FinFan games I've played can touch the Lunars. Yes, maybe without FFVII's huge success we may not have gotten the Lunar upgrades for Playstation, but that's a separate point and not a reason for me to bow down and worship the statues of Cloud and Sephiroth. Say "I think..." or something similar and I have no problem with your OPINION though I may state my disagreement. Presenting it as fact or a ruling passed down from the Great Gaming Elders strikes me as unacceptable. A declaration without backup doesn't change anyone's mind. Now, if you want to cite reasons for the story being better, I made another thread for that, although I do know and admit the FFVII translation is obviously superior to the translation of FFVI. However, if you feel all the elements were "great" please try to elaborate on that in the other thread I made for the comparison, and support it with reasons.

Last I remember, the armor pieces were optional. Completing the level to actually hold on them--what's wrong with that? X4 was too short and lackluster to me. X1 being "too easy" may be your opinion, but the difficulty was fine for me back when I played it...except for that final level, which I had a bitch of a time with. Then of course, I could just say you're way, way, way more skilled with me in the games and probably why even today you'd deem games I thought had fine difficulty are "too easy." So, whatever. You probably beat X4 blindfolded then.

Uh, it was a part of her ribbon for her hair. So it fell out of that. You really didn't pay too much attention to her mentioning that in the Church did you? Not that I'm trying to start something, just saying. Anyways, I must tell of my love for FF4 for only one reason. Tellah "YOU SPOONY BARD~!" Yeah, hehehe. It outclasses "you crazy funster!" slightly. However, FFVI still has it beat with "you licentious howler!" which is what Cyan (?) called that hooker that was propositioning him. Maybe if he cut her in half to this day we'd still be calling it GREATEST GAME EVER! I thought it was the white materia. *shrug* Okay, so it's been years since I played it, and only played through it once, so my bad. Shockingly, I thought Sakura would hate FFVI. Hm, turns out we're not too far off on that regard. Still, I played FFVII, played though it completely, was mostly "saw this all before..." in regards to the major story elements, and almost all of the revived gameplay aspects. One aspect of the Materia that was nice: at least you were prevented from teaching everyone every single spell and they'd know it for the rest of the game. I personally prefer having designated healers, magic attackers, etc--which is one reason why I liked the way FFIV actually played. Although it means the magic-users have pussy, useless physical attacks. ...in Sakura's opinion. Consider the source.

Do we finally have our "worse than KotR 95" show yet?

Smackdown lacks star power?

Okay, whatever the MOTN is, we're debating whether it's Christian/RVD/Jericho or an Orton/HBK match, neither of which were actually "good." Gotcha. HERE COMES THE, er, MORE PAIN!

So HBK vs. HBK w/ Orton is MOTN right now?

Announcers Egoweight Title Match.

Of course it is. What's been better? I was thinking HBK wrestling himself w/ Orton in the ring.

So, the Triple Threat isn't going to be the MOTN?

Am I missing something here? You mustn't have heard about RVD's radio interviews.

Yeah, Goldberg/Triple H will happen before the Announcers match. Remember, HHH may have a huge ego, but he's also willing to do things to make Vince think he's a "team player" (main eventing Heat).

Oh good, the announcers are going to nearly main event the show. Or...are they going to main event?

It's because they decided to do tag match-singles match-tag match-singles match.... They figure they can't have two tag matches back to back, and the tag title match started because they needed a hot opener.

Yeah, normally they ain't got time to bleed.

But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made. And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade

Chiseled! A lump of coal that will be molded into the next diamond! The future of this business!

There is unrest in the forest, There is trouble with the trees, For the maples want pushes And the oaks ignore their pleas.

Dudz beat Le Sigh for tag titles.

Well, he does have the background...but these days, naw.

Think that statement over again.

Hey, guys. Did you hear about that Soul Calibur II game? I think it will be a sleeper hit.

EDIT: Wrong thread.

Crap, I saw Outside the Ropes but I missed that segment. I blame WWE's Superstar Billy Graham propaganda for making me tune out.
