But they're not altering their face. They're just covering it.

Sorry. I don't see it. The creepyness, I mean. All it is...is a person with a one piece cloth suit, and a cartoon helmet. So what? There's no sense of danger. I'm not trolling. I honestly don't get it. I could have a neighbor that's into this kind of thing, and I wouldn't feel threatened or make a big deal out of it.

For some reason, kotaku wont' let me edit my post. What I wanted to add to my example with XIII is that I actually have more reasons for liking the game than to not like it. It's not solely because it's a final fantasy game. I happen to like the combat system in X-2, but hate everything else. That doesn't mean that…

It's a bit broad to include every game company, so let's stick with final fantasy. I'm assuming that you're including VII-present when it comes to the newer games. What I'm hearing is that the reason people buy and like those games is because "they don't know what good is, and if they do, they'll lie to themselves in…

"A large chunk still buy the FF series blindly or well blindly defend it."

That's what happens when you have a jaded, unpleasable fanbase. You just can't win no matter what you do. Square might have made some moves that I don't agree with, but times like these make me feel sorry for them.

I understand that. But I don't see this as selling out. So if there's a middle eastern touch in this sci-fi world and guns are involved, they're selling out to call of duty fans? That seems a bit ridiculous to me, since the middle east hasn't been involved in that franchise since after Modern Warfare 1. Also, guns…

How does going in a new art direction "losing their identity?" I don't only like call of duty as I'm a fan of both Nomura and Amano. I just don't think change is necessarily a bad thing.

I actually like it. It keeps the fantasy look while adding a more down-to-earth feel to it. It's refreshing compared to looking at a society of supermodels.

"He stabbed himself in the foot so he could stop a tanker with one arm."

"After you literally breakdance with robots hooked to your feet so you can flip up and use them as projectiles, ANYTHING that comes after that is less ridiculous. Raiden could have a new sword that turns everyone into clowns when he slashes them and it would be tame compared to that."

Agreed. Watching this in its entirety was brutal.

But atheists/same sex couples that are getting married aren't invalidating anyone's belief system, let alone taking away any rights. The case is the other way around. By keeping same sex marriage illegal, gay and lesbian couples are deprived of their right to marry who they love. Saying that legalizing gay marriage is…

Except you don't have to be religious to get married. Is it stomping on other peoples' beliefs if two atheists get married? If, it's not, then gay marriage isn't either.

Voicing your difference of opinion is not the same thing as attacking someone. Especially if that opinion is misinformed and logically flawed.

"-_- but by trying to force them to allow such things you are being intolerant of them."

I really don't see what the purpose of this "protest" is. What are you protesting against, exactly? Also, how is St. Patrick's Day different from Cinco de Mayo, besides its backround? It's celebrated the same way. It's great that you're patriotic, in fact, I support it. But waving the U.S. flag at people celebrating…

I think I know what it is. The girls in this game might have adult body ratios, but that's not what's throwing people off. It's the proportions of the heads. Compared to Japanese anime women in the mid nineties(or Elisa Maza in the pic above for a more obvious example), the heads are extremely big compared to their…

What I didn't like about XIII's battle system was the fact that you only had control of one character, with AI handling the other two. To me, it completely undermines the concept of a turn based game. I always thought that the reason Final Fantasy had this type of gameplay was to give you time to control multiple…

In the minority, yes. But not alone. :)
