I know I didn't dream it up. There was a game made with RPG Maker that was mentioned on some gaming site, and it had to do with a gay main character and his struggles with homosexual prejudice in his society. The monsters in the game were representations of that, similar to the style of...

What do you think our greatest accomplishment is as a species thus far?

This is part of a larger musing on our need for entertainment, but for now I'll just focus on this question: If video games suddenly vanished from existence and the means to make them could not be recovered, (and yes, I realize this essentially takes computers out of the loop, too) what would...

Come Alice! Don't dawdle! You've already missed the train! And... Did you see that, Shinji?!

So this is for anyone who is a regular viewer of Extra Credits and has seen the episode covering God of War and its failings in the storytelling department. http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/no-redeeming-value# btw !!!(SPOILERS)!!! If you want the quick version, skip to the end of this...

Yessir. That said, whoa. Balthier's your only favorite? I mean, he gets all the best lines, but....come on. Really?

50 IS a lot. I thought about just limiting it to 25 since it was hard to come up with any more that I found that affecting. Shadow always seemed easier to relate to than Squall or Cloud, even though they all have similar personalities.

So Vanille makes the top 20? Interesting. If it weren't for her annoying voice, I'd find her easy enough to take seriously. She's just fine as a character.

I'm just counting from the main series and then only from the games I've played (not counting Dawn of Souls). Incidentally, I am uncultured swine for having never played Tactics. I've heard it's quite possibly the best in terms of story.

Go for it : )

Yeah, I left out a few who a) didn't have much in the way of character while failing to do anything new (Lulu, Fran, Eiko), and b) weren't developed that well (here's where I say Lightning, despite her silliness, was more realistic to me than Squall). To be honest, I omitted specific reasons...

Yeah, I'm that bored. Here's a list of my 50 favorite Final Fantasy characters. However, I'm not going to explain why I chose so-and-so. Use your imagination. #50: Vanille #49: Seymour #48: Bartz #47: Quina #46: Lenna #45: Palom #44: Porom #43: Emperor Gestahl #42...

That's right. Square Enix has hired you to oversee the fifteenth entry in the regular series. So what kind of game do you want to make it? Hundreds of men and women await your command. ; P
