Anagram 11/17/21 11:35:21 PM #17:	He was brilliant... Perhaps too brilliant... Aerith dies: Basically, the best plot twist in any video game. The "I am your father" of games. The only other spoiler on par is Sheik's identity. The idea of killing the main love interest halfway through the game with no leadup, no heroic sacrifice, none of that is genius, particularly because that sort of thing simply never happens in stories. The scene is also well-handled, so I have pretty much zero complaints. Spheres This is the way FFT's Original Translation: I don't know, man. Here's the thing: I've never played FFT's retranslation, but I have read parts of it, and I prefer awkward and choppy to overly verbose. Awkward silly shlock is still a form of entertainment on its own, even if that's not quite what they intended. I mean, people still reference the original translation, whereas no one ever references the newer one. "Defeat Dycedarg's older brother" isn't even the best bad line, though, that's definitely L I T T L E M O N E Y. Why was that line said so slowly? I have no idea. Stay Away From the Summoner Lady: I do appreciate how random NPCs with one line of dialogue can become pointless memes. If FFX had come out seven years later, she would probably be the 'I took an arrow to the knee' guy of the era. As a character, I also appreciate that she tries to protect the daughter of the last previous summoner from the weird foreign guy. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Final Bosses SMFFFC: It may be B8 heresy, but I've never been THAT into these types of topics. I drop in and vote occasionally. No strong opinions about this, but I appreciate the value of letting us know the top few most popular characters on B8. Whatever Summon Monsters Buying the Costa del Sol condo to tell the salesman to leave: I'll level with you. I have never done this, at least not to my recollection, and I don't think I've ever bought this condo? I have zero memory of it, at least. Dilly dally shilly shally Argath's Name Change: I mean, yes, it's obviously bad. Algus is a much better name. But it's not ruinously bad. He's not the main character having his name changed to something terrible, he dies pretty early on, and he's like a stupid pampered noble brat, so him having a stupid name works, even if it's not what they're going for. Characters with names three letters or less Hundreds of voices screaming in unison Lightning Dodging --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
