This is ridiculously untrue for the vast majority of human beings.

Sugar can contribute to a number of diabetic-related problems, along with just increasing your caloric intake and contributing to overall obesity (and all the problems that come with it).

Aspartame is really only a problem if you have phenylketonuria. Or if you're drinking more than two dozen cans of soda a day (but in that case, you've probably got bigger problems)

So youre a real individual that exists, who thinks that aspartame is good for you? Fascinating. I would expect nothing less from this website. The point is that aspartame is unhealthy, synthetic garbage, and real sugar, especially cane sugar, is less unhealthy. Of course real sugar has more calories, but the solution for that is to drink less soda, not to drink more fake sugar to lose weight. If you have weight issues, coke zero and diet soda arent going to save you. Drinking less soda, and getting some exercise, even a small amount, will though. Get it?

Because most people who have tasted stevia (at least in the US) complain it isn't sweet enough. Which means either people won't buy your product, or you have to supplement the stevia with something else (usually aspartame) anyway.

And even beyond that, stevia has a much lower threshold for "acceptable dosage per day" than aspartame for most governing bodies. Something like even three cans of soda a day would put you over the recommended limit.

I dont really like stevia either, but if you already have health issues, complaining that stevia isnt sweet enough is the whole reason why someone would have health issues in the first place. And again, diet sodas and aspartame arent going to save them.

And the acceptable dosage of stevia thing is a silly argument, because you shouldnt be drinking more than 2 or 3 cans of regular coke per day either. And yet people can and do. So whats your point? That 5 cans of regular coke is OK, but 5 cans of stevia coke is going to kill you? LOL. This website, man.....

just cuz calories... cuz I drink like 12L of coke a day

Thats WAY too much soda per day. Try to cut that down, by a lot. Try drinking tea, or coffee, or seltzer or something, if you want something carbonated. Its not worth drinking that much soda. Plus soda is bad for you, ESPECIALLY diet sodas, and coke zero. Im not saying you should stop drinking soda altogether, because I drink soda also. Im saying you should drink a lot less.

But I do 100% agree with the TC on one thing though. Its a shame they never got a real sequel, but at this point, it's far too late.

It might be way past due, but its technically never too late to bring the series back with a new 3D platformer with modern graphics. I can see it happening some day. Look at what happened with Crash 4. And there is a Jak and Daxter 4 on PSP. I only realized this game exists in the last few years myself......

I dont even know what that is :0

Its basically Jak 4, on PSP.

Explain to me why you cant just drink regular coke. Also, the aspartame in Coke Zero is less healthy than them normal sugar in regular coke. So youd be better off drinking regular coke.

If Coke Zero, and diet sodas in general were serious about providing a healthier alternative to regular sugar-filled sodas, they would use stevia, an actual healthy alternative to sugar. But they dont. As it stands, youre probably better off just drinking regular coke.

Citation needed.

Disease, dangerous insects, invasive species, parasites, tsunamis, extreme weather temperatures (not even climate change, just regular extreme temperatures). And another planets might have all or some of these things, possibly (probably) even worse. So no, humans arent the only problem. Theyre the only problem from what, the perspective of a tree? Are you and @ParanoidObsessive a tree?

Only a brainwashed ideologue would disagree with this. One who puts everything else ABOVE humans, which makes no logical sense, especially if were also talking about other planets. Why do you have an emotional attachment to other planets, and an obligation to one, above yourself and your species? LOL. What a user base on this website.

didn't saga frontier do it too

No it didnt. Those are prerendered graphics, the same type of graphics FF7 and plenty of other PS1 rpgs used. What might be confusing you is that Saga Frontier used 2D sprite characters over prerendered environments. While FF7 used 3D polygonal characters over prerendered environments. Octopath uses voxel graphics, which is completely different, and I think it looks great. Voxels are 3D cubes, made to look like retro 2D graphics.

Not sure why someone said Suikoden has it either. Suikoden is just regular 2D graphics. Eiyuden Chronicle isnt voxel graphics either, I dont think. That one does sort of look more like Octopath, but with Eiyuden, I think its just regular 3D polygon graphics, but sometimes resembling 2D at parts.

Voxels, and why theyre cool:

It was really weird to see people hype up FF16. Like, I thought it was general consensus that FF hasn't been good in years.

FF16 isnt like the recent games in the series though, and weve known that for years, so this post made little to no sense.

But do you realize that as someone who was born and raised in the US and who has effectively spent my entire life there, I do not even remotely give a shit about any of that?

"Foreign" is subjective.

Just because you cant or wont visit other countries, doesnt mean that youve made a good point here. Repeatedly insisting that you either arent able to or dont want to travel to another country hardly helps your argument here. In fact, it hurts whatever point youre trying to make here, which doesnt seem to exist, anyway.

Absolutely fucking true.

I already proved that youre wrong, so absolutely not true. This is an example of your ideology failing you. Since humans arent the ONLY problem with earth, theres no way that youre right here. Its also debatable if humans IN GENERAL are really a problem. Individual humans can be a problem? Yes. Humans in large groups are a problem? Yes. Humans existing as a whole, being a problem? No real proof of that. That just sounds like your ideology failing you yet again.

But as is I'm not even willing to move to Europe, let alone being the first to trailblaze a new frontier. I've never been much of a neophile, and I hate camping and nature and "roughing it", so a planet without infrastructure is pretty much the definition of hell for me.

Ok, but you do realize that the U.S. and Canada are comparatively the new frontier compared to Europe, whose countries have been around much longer, right? Also, Europe in general is overall much safer than the U.S., if you compare the crime rates. And yes, this even includes much of eastern europe, despite current events....

The only real problem with this planet is the humans.

No matter what other planet you can possibly go to, you'll always be bringing that problem with you.

Not really true. If you live here on earth in an overly cold or overly hot area*, the only thing keeping you comfortable, and at many times, ALIVE, are other humans and their technology. So I would classify dying as being a problem, so you kind of messed up with this post. Gamefaqers arent very good overall at accuracy, so dont feel bad, youre not alone on this forum when it comes to severe mistakes like this.

*Im not even bringing climate change into this, Im just talking about regular extreme temperatures that have nothing to do with climate change, that are both uncomfortable and deadly for humans, even in otherwise perfectly habitable parts of the earth.
