It' s a new PSP turn-based RPG from Odin Sphere and Oboro Muramasa developer Vanillaware. The game is in development for summer release. Spoiler The official website, with a nice music (Sakimoto ?) : http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/game/psp/gkh/ Gameplay details : http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/03/30/grand_knight_history_multiplayer/ I didn' t expect such a nice surprise on the PSP, I' m really not in a hurry to buy a 3DS or a NGP.
Kuja has a voice ? ... ..... ........ oh right, Dissidia ...

Here' s a silly thought : those symbol look like they could be some sword grip and hilt, they kinda remind me of Mysterious Figure' s laser swords that could evolve into complex symbols : Since this symbols exists both in light and dark colors I figure it could be Riku' s laser sword : While this one only has a light variation so I figure it could be Sora' s laser sword : I have no idea what that one could mean though : It only has a light variation, hmmm ...
The thing is, religion isn' t the only way to enlightenment or happiness, philosophy can also lead you there without requiring any belief in a superior will, the same philosophy that is contained in most religious books. The key is to love and have faith, may it be in God, in Life, or merely in yourself. When I watch The Matrix or Lost I see the story of a person (Neo/Jack) who' s utterly lost at the beginning of the story, but then reaches enlightenment and happiness without ever believing in any God (maybe Jack does in the end, I' m not sure).
Er, true, but I don' t quite get what' s your point here. The Harry Potter books also state that stealing is bad. Should we start using the Potter books to raise children ? It' s the parents job to transmit morals and values, not a book' s job. Ultimately the only morals and values that a he' ll hold onto are the ones he knows to be true from experience, unless you do a good job turning him into a robot who doesn' t question anything he' s learned whatsoever. If you want to raise your child in religion then by all means knock yourselves out, just don' t kid yourselves in thinking that' ll teach him morals and values or make him a good citizen (as my personal experience or the document I linked in my previous post points out), the only thing it could teach him that he wouldn' t have found out otherwise (living with his parents and going to school) is faith.
Him : [video=youtube;pOuumGX-6uc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOuumGX-6uc&feature=player_embedded[/video] This is a REAL politician named Toyama Koichi that ran for the Prefectual governer of Tokyo "County".
You mean the ones I discovered while living in society ? I didn' t wait to read the Bible to realize that stealing, lying and being violent was bad, I hope you didn' t either. One can be a believer, have those values, and not follow them anyway. Prisons are full of religious people. I guess we could look for the proportion of religious people both in society and in prison, see if there' s a difference. I did. The website I found those statistics on also explains why that exercise is futile : http://www.adherents.com/misc/adh_prison.html#altformat In short, there doesn' t seem to be any correlation at all between religious education and good behavior in society.
I was raised a Christian and I ended up not agreeing with all of the Christian values. What if your child never really believes in God ? I know I never really did. As I already said IMO religion is something that should be offered as an option amongst many to someone who' s old enough to know what faith is. I' m right there with ya. The point is "Is religion important when raising children to become good members of society", not "Is religion important when raising children to become good Christians/Muslims/Chuck Norrists etc ...". Since society' s morals and values differ from those of religions I think the answer is no. It' s one way to raise your children amongst many, but you could also raise good members of society without ever mentioning any religious concept.
Yeah, I noticed. My point was just that the religious definition of "bad" differs from mine on that point, which is funny coming from something preaching tolerance. That' s not a teaching I' d like to pass onto my children (with or without religion). I didn' t want to derail the thread by talking about homosexuality, I just used it as an example to show that religious values themselves are not necessarily perceived as sane or perfectly reasonable, some of them can be perceived as arbitrary and/or bad. I could just as well have chosen the Coran prohibition to eat pork. Also, those who think that religion is important to raise a child might have a problem with their children being raised in a different religion.
I guess that' s because you forgot to mention what the debate is about exactly. ^^
I attended catechism classes from age 10 to 16, I' ve been told from starters that the Bible was just a bunch of metaphors that weren' t meant to be interpreted literally. I discovered the word "metaphor" that day, and it took me a while to figure out what it meant. I think I was still too young to be taught religion. I also believe that religion should be a choice, imposing it on a 5 years old kid appears as plain proselytism to me, meant to mold a naive spirit into a belief system that he can' t even comprehend yet. We' re not taught philosophy at school until we' re 17 (at least were I live), religion doesn' t seem to be an easier topic to understand. I mean come on : How can that appear as anything but a bogeyman story to a five years old kid ? Furthermore, who knows what his sexual orientation will happen to be years later, regardless of what he' s been told as a kid. People don' t willingly choose what or who turns them on. I get that sex orgies lead to bad things, I don' t get why being homosexual would necessarily be a bad thing. My younger sister is bisexual and I have no problem whatsoever with that, it doesn' t mean squat about her being a good or bad person.
Europeans will have to wait until March 23 (the full game will be released two days later) and pay 3 euros. Maybe that' s a consequence of the angry mob that rose at the announce of the poorly executed Duodecim translation ? Maybe SE was gonna release an English Prologus, and then changed its mind at the last minute to try and translate it first ? Who knows what they' re thinking nowadays ...
NES/SNES : - The Metroïd, Mario and Zelda games. A mouthful of nostalgia, especially Super Metroïd. That one never gets old. - FF6, the only old FF I could bring myself to play again. I' m afraid I played Secret of Mana and Chrono trigger too much, can' t do that anymore. PS1 : pretty much all the Squaresoft games I own, and Castelvania Symphony Of The Night. I cherish my PS2 much more than my PS3, I don' t think it' s obsolete at all.
Like, say, Docpurr Doom, The Hulkitty and Felinia ?
Third option : http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/23/world/main7081308.shtml Like, say, an attack on SE to set back KH3 by two years ? Hasn' t it already happened ? ^^
I don' t know for sure if it' s the actual game intro, but it' s official SE material alright. It was broadcasted on TV along with the Desperado Chaos gameplay and Zidane and Kuja fourth costumes. The music isn' t the same as in the first Dissidia, it' s slightly different, especially the Tidus part. Anyway, if you meant that it sucks beyond belief I fully agree.
Zidane and Kuja' s fourth paying DSL costumes : Spoiler It' s a shame they make us pay for copied and pasted characters, backgrounds and musics (hell, even the intro CG is half copied and pasted from the first Dissidia intro) and then make us pay again for bonus original content, but who honestly didn' t see that coming ?
