Someone in an Organization XIII cloak is pretty broad, as plenty of members have *similar* build, and there are plenty of people who aren't in the Organization that have... somehow... obtained cloaks. (For instance, Zexion and Roxas are very similar when seen with their hoods over their faces.)
When I first noticed the moment you pointed out, I assumed it was Riku because he was always the lurking cloaked figure in Twilight Town. It could be anyone - depends on what you want to think and how you look at it. :D
I always thought 358 over 2 days meant that the game could be finished in 2 days' time (48 hours). Haha. I never put much thought into it otherwise. I think some of you guys are looking too deep... I'm just gonna wait until the game comes out. Dx
I've tried teaching myself Japanese, and it does work to an extent. The only difficulties in it are not having something to reinforce what you're learning, and not having a tutor to ask, "Hey, am I doing this right?". Also, a lot of people aren't diciplined enough to keep studying on a regular basis. I know I stopped studying everyday like, a couple weeks after I started. It's really hard, but if you want to try it, I wish you luck! :D
Yes, it is very much the same as a lot of other art. XD A lot of younger people would shy away from Nudity Art, just as adults turn away from more cartoony art. The way Nudity Art is recieved by the masses, I guess, is really... erm... disappointing. A lot of people take it the wrong way; it's a shame, really.
It really is art, in the notion that a lot of art styles are misunderstood, and that there are "right" and "wrong" ways of doing it (the "wrong" way being a more sexual subject instead of expression). And like all art styles, it takes many years of practice to master.
As I have observed myself, being verbal with a kid or putting them in time-out does NOT affect them too much. Society is becoming very... how should I put it... visually learning like? It's not enough to type at someone or yell at them. We look for pictures and want to feel with our sense of touch rather than listen or read words. Children don't respond to verbal lectures anymore. I know sure as hell I don't.
A nice, sharp feeling in a kid's rump is enough to keep them from doing too much more harm. :/ I don't support beating the shnikes out of them with a pan or anything. A whack once or twice with a firm palm or a profound thump on the head does the trick just fine.
In my opinion, there's a bit too much of it. A grayscale woman in a contorted pose is only beautiful the first couple times you see it. After that... eh, it gets old.
