This video is a fake, its author is apparently a French student who also works for a FF site. He leaked this video on foreign sites to measure the impact it would have worldwide and use the gathered data for his work at university. At least that' s what he says now that he' s been caught, but maybe it was just good' ol' fashioned trolling ... Anyway, if you happen to speak French you can read the debunk flame war for yourself here : http://www.facebook.com/FFDreamOfficial/posts/10151809838490217
Oh hi, you' re back ?! How did your travel go ?
Daw ! *o* You sure rose this thread' s temperature drastically !
More importantly, are you a pirate troll ?
I' m a pastafarian.
Here ? Spoiler
I didn' t know Captain Obvious was that old ! ^^ You seem to interpret your own quote as if it said "can not" rather than "shall not", does "shall not" have an old/obscure meaning I' m unaware of ? Anyway, all the quotes I found don' t leave much room for interpretation : http://bible.cc/leviticus/18-22.htm http://bible.cc/leviticus/20-13.htm
There' s no way Terra would participate in an Imperial raid on Narshe !
I' m not too fond of green beans, broccolis and cauliflowers, and I can' t stand oysters and offal (paté and foie gras aside, I love those). Otherwise bring it on !
So ... basically you' ll spend the whole summer studying ? Here' s for you : [video=youtube;lkXeS3FrEs0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkXeS3FrEs0[/video]
Just to be clear my questions were rhetorical, I do that a lot, I wasn' t insinuating that you are naive. ^^ I wasn' t even talking specifically to you actually, I was quoting the event you mentioned rather than quoting you. I guess I should have quoted the OP instead. Well no, if you want to say it then nothing prevents you to do so. Whether you do or don' t is entirely up to you, but organizing a pledge at school forces you to do it in public. Organizing a pledge at school is the same as organizing a prayer : it' s not as innocent as "oh hey, by the way I' m a Christian/Patriot", and it' s not just basic etiquette either (at least not in my country). Are those who don' t share this particular view allowed to organize their own alternative public ritualistic display ? More importantly, what the hell do such displays have to do with education ? A public school, a tribunal or your work place aren' t exactly pertinent places to insidiously shove a specific ritualistic display down everyone else' s throat, at least not if your country is supposed to be secular. What if I insisted to be allowed to swear on the Necronomicon rather than the Bible in court ? Or to be allowed to sing "The Internationale" at school, attendance being mandatory and participation being optional ? Or to have a little Jedi dance-time organized at work, attendance being mandatory and participation being optional ? What would a judge/teacher/boss' answer be ? Oh gee, I wonder ... I was speaking more broadly, Mak opened another thread focused on this specific event. Actually I know all too well that if your boss don' t like you for X , Y or Z reason you' re pretty much screwed. Sooner or later he' ll have a legal opening to fire you, or an opportunity to create one. Otherwise I agree with everything you said.
Why yes, I did get stuck here, but not for an hour and only on my first play-through. Finding the Alexander summon on the other hand, now that got me searching for an hour. Every. Single. Time.
I think this illustrates why asking students to "pick a side" in front of everyone is problematic to begin with. Why the hell, in a supposedly secular setting, would you want to be forced to reveal a political or religious stance publicly, especially in front of someone who holds power over you ? Why would you be naive enough to believe it cannot possibly color his judgment at all ? It shouldn' t, sure, doesn' t mean it won' t. If it does, well, good luck proving it ... If one' s political and religious opinions are truly supposed to be irrelevant then don' t bring it up. I believe the United States have the same kind of problem in court : people are asked to swear to say the truth on the Bible, and they are given the option to refuse to do so, but of course it immediately put those who do and those who don' t on unequal ground before they even say anything. What is the next step going to be, will you be forced to reveal who you vote for to your boss ?
I think it is harmful. Any attempt at defining a club is only enforcing prejudice, under the cover of fraternity no less. It is a big fat lie based on the same principles as xenophobia, I' m surprised many people can' t see it for what it truly is. No. I have been taught "La Marseillaise" at school, in a social and cultural perspective, I also have been taught the civic laws that apply in my country. This is all fine and useful : whether I' m patriotic or not I do live in France, so those informations are useful. However if nationalism were to be taught in public schools, presented as a cult that anyone should observe no matter what, then public schools would clearly be overstepping their secular bounds, I' m as fiercely opposed to it as I am to allowing public schools to enforce any kind of cult, religious or not. A few years ago there was a huge debate in France over "national identity", as a result it was decided to force students to sing La Marseillaise once a year. This seems completely silly to me but heh, whatever, singing it it is not a pledge to anything. Hell, the whole song tells the tale of a bunch of oppressed people who, on the day an nth royal drop spilled their glass, started cutting heads and spilling galleons of blue blood in order to reclaim their freedom. Amazingly, the irony of forcing children to sing it to enforce nationalism is lost on our politicians. I haven' t decided yet whether that should make me laugh or cry ... No to both questions. Why ? Freedom of opinion, secular public school, need I say more ? I fail to see what religious opinion has to do with it. Depends what you call unpatriotic. If it is the lack of patriotism I don' t condemn it. If it is prejudice held towards anyone who is patriotic then I condemn it as much as any form of prejudice.
She' s speaking about the United Nations Security Counsil, but the UNSC logo displayed in the background is actually the United Nations Space Command logo from the Halo series.

It doesn' t confirm anything, au contraire : "Valiant Saga" hasn' t been trademarked so anyone can open an "official" twitter account without fear of pursuits or being forced to take it down (check this : God and FFXV official twitter accounts ! ^^). Also, who the hell would be dumb enough to open a twitter account before revealing the game officially ? Finally, the game domain linked in the twitter account is http://na.square-enix.com/vsff, but check out where your browser redirects you if I just randomly type http://na.square-enix.com/trololol-fell-for-it-did-you?
I' m not exactly an expert, I hope this will do ...
Each different cutscene you watch raises your completion rate, you just have to find a few cutscenes you' ve never watched before (or just one long cutscene, the longer it is the more it raises your completion rate). Oh, and don' t skip them of course. It is possible to get to 100% in a single playthrough if you chose to give the sphere to the new league, but it is insanely complicated. It' s easier to do it in several playthrough since there are more cutscenes in the game than needed, watching them all would actually raise the completion rate up to 120-130% (the counter just stops at 100%).
