Counter-point: a dude literally wandering from town to town in search of his son, fighting to stay alive in a shitty world not of his making, is actually not a bad use of the song at all.

I used to think “opportunism”.

And? Not giving a shit about sk and thinking its garbage is enough reason to be happy the studio is done for?

Instant karma right there.

So, same as every other medium, then.

consider me a purist...I’d rather have direct control than the gambit system.

That is one of it’s problems. The game mostly forces the player to make everyone the same. Skills don’t work most of the time and your then stuck making nothing but melee casters. The characters then become faceless being that any one can have any weapon, skill, or magic.you lose any need to change characters in…

To me, 12 was the final bullet to the series for me.

And to make that situation worse, hammering the square button to power them up. I think I broke a pad doing that.

IX had the hilarious occasionally abbreviated summons, too. Like when Ramuh just says “Fuck it, I’m phoning this one in” and casually chucks his staff onto the battlefield from his couch or something.

I have ready many many many many of these illegal translations because that was the only way they were available.

Piracy is wrong. However, is it piracy if the consumer wouldn’t be able to access the product otherwise? Probably yes. But at the same time, I think it’s good that these guys exist because it’s been pushing publishers to work faster ie: actually incorporate translation into their workflow. And then there’s the…

Based on all the wonderfully classy comments you’ve been posting here today, you’re clearly only here to troll and stir up shit. I’m not wasting any more of my time on you, boy.

Move along, we’re done.

Y’know what I can’t stand? You contemptuous, presumptuous dicks who think you know everything about everything, assume no one else is as informed as you, and just insult people with no provocation over something so goddamn trivial.
