I actually was glad that he switched the squid out. To me, the film's ending made a lot more sense and tied the plot up better. What did you like about the squid ending, since I'm curious now?

He did well with Watchmen...though to be honest he did so mostly by sticking with what happened in the graphic novel.

Dreadknight Garen skin aww yeee

Because you said it's one of the worst selling Final Fantasy games when it apparently is one of the best selling Final Fantasy games :B

Eh, flirting can sound different to various people. To me, the scene clearly shows that she is accepting that her initial feelings for Squall wouldn't be requited (BTW that pretty much played out between some of my friends in reality so just sharing that.)

Shiit, I thought I put one :< It's like 16 minutes into that clip

While they didn't really intend for Squall to come off as having all those skills, in my opinion it still helped give the story more scope and the characters more personality (not a lot, but they weren't nearly as one-dimensional as XIII's cast)

Quistis having a crush is never flat-out spoken, but to me it never had to be. The way she finishes some of Squall's sentences, teasing him on his SeeD test to acquire Ifrit, showing some jealousy in Squall dancing with Rinoa (whom he'd only met at the dance,) and many more sequences, but the most telling sequence was this one if you bring Quistis with you as your third party member.

I do agree that the characters in XIII fall short due to having little to them outside their specified arcs and the game's main story. It makes me think also of the characters from VIII. As you mentioned, the plot and characters had issues (as one of my favorite entries, it's hard not to acknowledge them,) but they also benefit from the audience seeing them put in a variety of situations, not just being forced down the storyline. Lots of people dislike him, but to me, Squall isn't just an unsocial guy who focuses on the job; he's also the awkward guy who can't dance well, the unintentional leader of an entire school army...thing, the crush of his superior (who happens to wear glasses and use a whip RAWR,) the master Triple Triad player, the guy who jumps into freaking outer space alone to catch Rinoa, and even the rider of the occasional Chocobo.

tl;dr: I think characters can be really fleshed out more by putting them into varieties of situations that show us different sides to them, which Final Fantasy XIII didn't do so well.

But it's kinda different when it's within a fictional story written for a game meant to be both entertaining and engaging. I wouldn't have minded Hope being angsty and such for the first scene or two after his mum's death, but it dragged on for far too long in my opinion.

Basically this. When you ask people who played Final Fantasy XIII what Hope's character was, more times than not you'll probably hear "whiny," and that's an issue if you're trying to convey a character who's supposedly experiencing a lot of heavy-hitting situations.

I know about the timeskip and all, but Simba also meets Timon and Pumba not long after his dad's death. He's shown to still feel terrible about the event, but he's not being annoying and filled with angst -- just empty.

Ugh. I remember in high school up to my first year of college, I was pretty much stuck at 130-135 lbs. Then I guess my metabolism was like "I'M OUT Y'ALL" and I'm now around 160-ish usually. I swear I don't eat more than I used to either.

I'm sure they got some around where you live.

WTF REALLY ONLY 125? GOD DAMN MY COLLEGE TUMMY

Never had Papa John's? It's my favorite out of the three. Something to do with the ingredients ._.

The only problem is that it's Pizza Hut and not Domino's or Papa John's.

I don't mean the games themselves, but the people who think like that. It's so annoying hearing people instantly dismiss religion and people who follow it :|

There's only so much whining that an audience should have to take before the character should actually become endearing though, in my opinion. Look at Simba from The Lion King. He had pretty much one scene of whining after watching his father killed by wildebeests, followed by grieving and then developing. And I personally don't really care what happens in the sequel for him, since I only played XIII so I'm only discussing that one.

Speaking of breaks

WHERE WERE THE EPIC LIMIT BREAKS?

And stuff like "Army of One" doesn't count to me because of how weak they felt.

I would have liked the stagger system more if it wasn't pretty much the same objective in every single battle. Like, give me an enemy that I can't stagger, or stagger in really interesting ways (some monster that feeds off of pain and you actively have to heal or something? I dunno.) I mean, overwhelming your enemy is fun, but for me it got old quite fast, especially with the overly long boss battles.

Sazh is pretty cool. I also liked Fang for being someone I could have easily seen as the protagonist of a more interesting, action-filled game.

I dislike the counter-religious mindset personally (even as a lot of games seem to carry it.) Instead, I'm fine with some counter-organized religion. You can be a follower of a religion without adhering to all the rules set by the leadership, in my opinion, but to hate on something so completely like that doesn't sound all that great to me.

I disliked Hope the entire time, because I already knew what role he was set to play, and he was still annoying and unlikable to me. If he wasn't one of the best team members in the game, I would have never used him.

The setting was wasted, since there is no point in making things look so pretty and expansive when you don't get any exploration. Sure there's the part where you can run around in the grassy plains, but you're restricted by having no mobility besides running. Like, imagine if they allowed you to jump up mountains or climb waterfalls or something.

I liked the combat in XIII for a while, like the shifting of paradigms and such, but it just ends up turning into STAGGER AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN and gets kinda boring.

The story and characters and world are all pretty shite.

I made a post too.+
