Has been covered many times, but the main enemy of XIII is a concept, not a physical being.

The main enemy of Halo is xenophobia, not a physical being.

The main enemy of Kingdom Hearts is puberty, not a physical being.

The main enemy of Super Mario Bros is fratricide, not a physical being.

The main enemy of Pokemon is slavery, not a physical being.

The main enemy of Call of Duty is the industrial-military complex, not a physical being.


DEEP. VIDEO. GAMES.

but wouldn't they be personified by a being?

[Mertron]

Super Mario Brothers is fratricide? Maybe for the Wii, but otherwise I dont see it.

NAH MAN, the themes! Two brothers compete for the love of a princess, but only one can win. ITS DEEP. Something something ART. Also that mini-game that was included in SMB3. SO DEEP.

The main enemy of Final Fantasy 7 is the best

The best part about pokemon is the fact that you can catch a Jynx which is essentially a black woman. The fact of the matter of it resembling a black woman shows us that black people as a whole are animals, and we should train them to become useful.

BRP may possibly be more right than me.

BRP, I'm going to need a link here.

The speed of the transitions barely breaks down on the immersiveness, and the control inside the battle itself is ~equal to or greater than that of FF12's (not only do your roles determine your actions in battle, but they determine your overall strategy (since Sentinel increases damage resistance to all, not just themselves... etc)).

I don't remember much about Basch at all. Balthier I liked a lot. Ashe I never liked because the game doesn't properly make you see Archadia as a threat, meaning the nuances of her motives in her quest are quite flat. Fran: what are her motives, how does her character develop (both personally and in terms of relationship with others), etc? I found her very forgettable.

Breaking the mold isn't that effective if the resulting game is boring and lacks drama. Their redemptions in 13 are very dramatic on the whole.

I can't fully address this point because I do not recall all of the intricacies of the subplots. Isn't Basch's past (on the whole) made very clear when you get him as a character though?

Has been covered many times, but the main enemy of XIII is a concept, not a physical being. Barthandalus just happens to represent this. And guess what - he still had much more presence than any other villain in 12!

And lol at final boss of 13 = Adamantoise... first of all, Long Gui. Second of all, if you want to pull that card... there is absolutely no farming or luck involved in ff12 whatsoever amirite?! We can conveniently ignore ultimate weapons.



Towns are not a necessity! Archadia was an incredibly tedious experience. Large areas are just disguising the fact that you are still heading from A to B. Yes, they are better - but not phenomenally so. There is just an illusion of such.

And are you suggesting that all areas of FF13 are not unique? In terms of location, each chapter is distinctly different.



I will agree that FF12 has an amazing script. I don't see how side quests were "mind blowing" though; better than 13's? Easily. Mindblowing? Nowhere near that good.

lol

[archibaldcrane]

Amazing.

I sympathized with the fal'cie in this game. I thought they had a good point. If I were them, I would've slaughtered all the humans too.

Would that make me fighting against the 'human condition'?

[Conformity]

Sepiroth is a physical being.

I think what is important is that Plow is wrong, whatever he may be talking about.

[Kuya]

Emphasis on whatever.

The main enemy of Dr. Mario is the thread of universal healthcare in the United States, that's why no matter how many pills you throw (from the private insurance industries) the viruses (people) keep wanting more and more and continue to multiply until they become overwhelming.

It is awesome how education can be used for arguing on the internet.

[Alleya]

I thought the concept of l'cie was interesting, until you gave some cursory thought to the whole process of being given a focus and whatnot and you realize it's completely unnecessary and retarded, little more than the vestiges of truly bad writing. It's like they came up with that really sexy marketing tag line "would you save a world that didn't want you in it?" which almost always makes for an awesome story, and got so impressed with themselves that they didn't write the game until 2 weeks before the release date.

[Alleya]

btw: The real enemy of Forza Motorsport 3 is the circular nature of life, not a physical being.

Lol'd pretty hard, mighty fine trolling sir, mighty fine trolling.

Also how many times can a group of individuals say "opinions" on a single fucking forum page? 3RD GRADE POISONED YOUR MINDS.
