Name everyone in FF9 Steiner, if only for a scene at the end where Steiner says how he's fighting for Steiner, Steiner, Steiner, Steiner, Steiner, Steiner... and Steiner.

I like how he's got Steppenwolf and Moon-Watcher in there, completely not fitting with all the other lovely names because he stole them from actual good books.

Edit: Tobor next to Voni-Ca, wtf. I guess a giant 50s robot decided to randomly mary random vowels strung together.

How the gently caress old is Knuckles in the comics? He's got great great great grandchildren and all that?

YoshiOfYellow posted:

Some story parts were questionable, like the entire existence of Genesis entirely. Game was still really enjoyable though I agree and probably one of the most painful endings to game I've played.

Crisis Core got tedious. That's the only thing I didn't like about it. There wasn't enough variety in gameplay that was fun. The ending was suffering though. Real tears.

Let me tell you about a little thing called the Summers-Grey Family. Knuckles will seem sensible and simple by comparison.

I thought Knuckles was supposed to be like the last echidna or something.

No, Shade doesn't count because Sonic Chronicles was a non-canon fanfiction with OC inserts.

he was, but then ken penders was given an assignment to write a knuckles spinoff comic without any of the other characters in it and he just made a bunch of other ones up so he could, you know, have people in his comic

also he is insane which may have contributed to it

I thought that was the point of why it was even brought up - the whole topic of "personal canon." Penders has his own canon now which he won from the comic which had to reboot to make up their own new canon.

I really wonder what the judge for this case thought. "No Your Honor, these fictional talking animals are MINE!"

I'll just point out that one of the most tightly guarded and well-protected IPs in the world is a talking cartoon mouse.

iirc the judge basically said that whoever drew up the contract did a terrible job, but it really did give him the characters and not archie or sega

That's kinda annoying in Pokemon though because you end up with things like a Charizard named Charmander.

Zack's a great Final Fantasy protagonist, in that he so isn't. It's mindboggling how good a character he is.

Final Fantasy is filled with better characters. There's just not much to the guy, even Cloud has more depth.

NikkolasKing

"Even Cloud" is rather unfair to Cloud. I think he easily has some of the best character development in the franchise. He's very different from most of his fellows and I still think "FFVII used to be Xenogears" is plain to see here with how similar he and Fei are.

ImpAtom

Zack is not a particularly deep character but he is a solid likable character with a straightforward and fairly well executed plot arc. That puts him on the high end of JRPG protagonists. (If just because JRPG protagonists so rarely hit all of those marks.) There are better and more ambitious characters but I can understand him being someone's favorite.
