Well, I'll be a son of a *****.

Spoiler: Reading this is not worth your time. I want to take a tangent. Shamus brings up how different games are striving for different kinds of fear, while residing under a single banner of ?survival horror.? Being scared, startled, horrified, nervous, anxious? These are important...

Too Human. I still haven't recovered. And I haven't pre-ordered a game since.

Dear Rocket Girl, Are you interested in: -Fighting crime -Super science -Fanciful wardrobes -Collateral damage -Intense thrust Call me some time, and we can discuss business. Yours in Justice, The Rocketeer XOXOXO

So I finally got around to putting this into a PDF, so if you've been waiting for that and don't want to read along in a forum, the alternative exists now. Unless I find a filehosting service that is both free AND non-skeezy, just PM me and I'll send it to whoever wants it.

(cont'd) Power Underwhelming As difficult as it is to tell what the game is trying to say sometimes, its stance on Venat is clear: Venat is an evil creature, who is even more manipulative as the other Occuria and far, far more ambitious and dangerous. And whatever its reasons for spiting...

PART XII Two Masters Final Fantasy XII holds the distinction of being both a main-line Final Fantasy title and an entrant into what is now called the "Ivalice Alliance," a group of games- not necessarily Final Fantasy games, even- that take place in the Ivalice setting. Prior to Final...

PART 11: A New Hope You know, I almost want to just thrash this thing and have done with this torture once and for all, but lets make it interesting, why don't we? We've had an excuse to see almost every Esper in the game... Let's bust out the rest, because I intend to dwell on them a bit in...

I certainly don't mind compiling it into a pdf, but that will be done once the last part is put up here. Which won't be long, so sit tight.

PART 10: The Wyrmking Descends As is the standard of RPG's, the Bahamut is headed straight for Dalmasca, but it will patiently check its speed so that it does not arrive until the party is done chopping up monster parts in a swamp to haggle for new boots. But Ashe & Co, LLC. already stocks...

Well, yes and no. I'm exaggerating for effect, but not nearly as much as you might think. The Lunarians are a blight on the world. The Lunarians seem to have two separate and irreconcilable sides to them. On one hand, you have Fusoya and the peaceful, Kryptonian, whirling spires and crystals...

That's the thing about Final Fantasy X, though: aside from Sin rolling in and killing people occasionally, Spira would be a paradise, even without technology. Aside from the teensy amount of technology that Yevon allows, we are never shown a situation where people could really benefit from the...

PART 9: And Now for Something Completely Different Allow me a tangent here. Again. A long one this time. In fact, I'm not really going to talk about Final Fantasy XII at all in this update, so if you aren't down for a hot, nasty diatribe about the minutiae of a careworn Final Fantasy trope...

PART 8: Pokemon: Crystal Version -or- How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cryst Atop the Pharos, Ashe stands in awe of the Sun-Cryst, holding the Treaty-Blade in one hand and the Sword of Kings in the other. Vaan passive-aggressively pushes her to destroy the crystal here and now...
