seriously, don;t take on huitztopochli. hell stop the sun and shit, and I'll have to clean up. AGAIN.
It's spelled Huitzilopochtli. Just a corection.

And yeah, the dude was a badass. Those mesoamerican guys were on some trippy shit when they came up with their gods, let me tell you. Our ancestors, the mexicas(from Mexico, you know) were, like, real badasses and decided for no good reason that all other nearby tribes(and those not so near) had to believe and worship the same shit that they did lest they get their asses handed to them. 'Cuz, you know, Mr. 'Pochtli was a warrior god.

Aahh...fun times.

No. They're omnipotent super-beings, it kind of speaks for itself.
That's the thing, in many mythologies they aren't omnipotent, just very powerful.

Are we talking: smack them over the head with a block of wood or sit down for a debate over logic in an attempt to remove them from existence? Either way I'm game.

Okey dokey chaps, let's run this down.

Gods/All Powerful Beings come down from the sky and terrorise the planet, with the intent of wiping us all out and starting again.

Here's what happens.

I find a sword that's bigger than my body and somehow develop the strength to wield it accurately.

I gel my hair into an implausible position.

I team up with my best friend (who's not as good a fighter as me, but he's well good with magic, which has been discovered only when the gods reach Earth but he's still well good, probably down to his command of the internet) and seek out my childhood sweetheart despite the fact I'm in a happy long term relationship and I've not seen said woman in years. She... I dunno. Likes fist fighting or something.

I then go back through my life counting off people I know and where I've met them and if they fall into a pattern I wish to refer to as the Final Fantasy Fractal based on where I've met them, their personality traits (I.e. stoic, womanising, out for revenge, etc - all the usuals) and their fighting styles, and assimilate them into my party.

One of them is an engineering student and he has, against all expectations and odds, built a FUCKING AIRSHIP in his spare time. We all bundle into the airship. Let's call it, I dunno, The Overcompensator. He's an engineering student, he's not gonna get laid ;) (unless he is the "Womaniser." Then he will actively pursue getting laid and always get it, but never call them back).

We bundle into the airship as mentioned, and fly around the world fighting lesser gods to gain power and also a large, faceless pro-industry organisation that has aligned itself with the gods in the hope that they will be spared. They are secretly intending to doublecross their benefactors, but about halfway through the third disc the would-be doublecrossers are doublecrossed, and are wiped out to a man, who goes into hiding. This man is... I dunno. Bill Gates or Barack Obama would probably work best, considering Steve Jobs is probably dead by now and Gordon Brown's hit the lynch mob.

No wait, it's Sarkozy. He's the most evil man on the planet. Bastard.

By now we've reached the fourth disc and are flying our airship to... let's say Antarctica, either that or one team is going to Antarctica and the other team is in the Arctic because we need to fight the gods at both poles simultaneously, and we have a massive debate in which we tell them the human race deserves to live and they submit otherwise, and we then fight them in a climactic battle, which near the end involves me using a supermove I've only just learned which allows me to inflict 20+ hits at approximately 9999 damage each in ONE TURN.

We win, of course, because we're the heroes, though it's a much tougher job for the team that doesn't have me in it (all but one of them is "fainted" at the end of their battle), and are treated to a final cutscene that is ridiculously long and only mildly interesting - let's call that the rest of our lives.

All this is set to a beautiful score by the wonderful Nobuo Uematsu.


That is what would happen.

I would at least attempt to fight them but only because fighting them physically would metaphorically represent my atheism and my absolute refusal to believe they exist and/or are immortal.

Also, it'd be funny.

Oh, I forgot something. A member of my party would have to be someone I'd never met before who is the fallen leader of a nation, trying to reclaim his rule after he was usurped.

Considering the setting, I would like this party member to be Vladimir Putin. He would be a Monk type character in combat, and his limit breaks would involve tactical artillery strikes and MiG strafing runs.

Stop disputin' the Putin.

This is going to be one of the few topics I start because I rarely think stuff without content to think about! But this came up recently.

The Mayan end of the world is coming up, and they specified a date, time, and hell even starting fucking location.

When, or IF, the gods come to earth and starting doing whatever they do to destroy the world. Would you start a quest, and go try to stop their godly plans?

I personally would because as fun as sitting on my ass and playing Final Fantasy is, it really makes me wonder what kind of shit you go through in stopping the end of the world.
Besides, what do I have to lose? I have nothing to gain other than a little bit of fun before our inevitable deaths, and the chance to be loved and respected which equals money which equals MORE VIDEO GAMES.

What about all of you?
Me i would walk over there with a fleet of hard core FF fans all with stupidly outragious Names(like Xephino lol) and awkward to look at clothing (Remember Tidus anyone?) Pick up Ultima Sword on the way and then Shout "all you sons of bitches are gonna die Ominislash!" job done then i get to walk back to hear the admiration of my hometown WOOT Epic WIN

Yes, but not because I want the world to continue on.

Mostly just because I'd be annoyed that gods actually dared to exist, proving me wrong in my atheism.
agreed.

Start a quest? really? dude, lay off the WoW for a couple days. But seriously, it is an interesting prospect, and I have to say that if the world were coming to an end, I would get about 5 pounds of marijuana, soak it in potent alchohol, and smoke the apocalypse away.

and no, I am not a stoner, but honestly, that is totally what I would do
