Equating Nomura with zippers is an overblown stereotype, but I see where you are coming from.

As if Amano's are any more realistic. How compelling are tights, polka-dot shirts, boot tassels, and ornamental hairpieces to you?

The policy isn't making the world friendlier for consumers. Microsoft doesn't care if developers release on only XBone, or XBone first and PS4 second.

I agree. The first one is incredible. You could tell me it's official promo art and I would be none the wiser.

Shingeki no Kyojin is very much shounen. It has many shounen tropes, such as: (1) long, drawn-out action scenes, (2) a young, naive, hot-blooded, undependable male protagonist who matures over the course of the story, (3) the protagonist unwittingly inspiring other characters to be more like him, (4) the protagonist,…

Your cat didn't like it either, huh?

There's at least one more appropriate hero: a gay black gypsy Polish Jew.

Valve released Half Life 2. 3 comes after 2. Half Life 3 confirmed.

Children using rotary phones are the elementary-school versions of hipsters.

I must agree. Thinking back on Final Fantasy's antagonists, I can't think of a single one that stands out. I want to say that Vayne of FFXII is a good one, but he gets very little face time, so I can't.

Hey man, that Mass Effect ending sucked!

The difference isn't in Sephiroth's and Kefka's goals. It is in their development. The player first learns about Sephiroth when Cloud and co. find his sword sticking out of the back of President Shinra.
