I beat 2 (4) before 3(6) was released and 3(6) was better, gosh.

It doesn't matter though JRPGs peaked in '95 with Chrono Trigger and like the Cowboys it was mostly downhill from there.

Who the hell grinds in VIII? You know the enemies level up with you, right? You could hypothetically beat the game at level 1 and the final boss would also be level 1 as well. If you grind to 100, then the boss has hundreds of thousands of hit points more.

The draw system was easy - junction your strongest spell to Magic, and you'll draw 9 spells every time.

No, people who like grinding wouldn't like a game where you can't grind to succeed. That is the point I am making. Christ


Also the Draw System was poo poo because it was boring, not because it was hard. Sitting in battle for 20 minutes drawing spells over and over was boring.

SNF is Cowboys @ Giants which... will probably not be that great, but on paper would be an amazing game and MNF is Ravens @ Patriots which should be a very good game.

Part of a story from 2006, deep in the comments of the article linked below:

quote:

So the night goes on, the players are hanging out, chatting a bit with random folks, and so on. A good friend of mine has to take a piss, so he heads for the bathroom. It just so happened that Rodgers was standing in the doorway leading to the restrooms. My friend walked up and kind of moved to his side so that he could squeeze past and get to the men’s room, and Rodgers notices him and doesn’t move. He just stands there like he’s intentionally blocking the way, for seemingly no reason. He’s stone faced, he’s not like laughing or anything so it’s not obvious if he’s just goofing around at first or whatever, so my friend kind of tries to nudge his way past him, and again he just stands there.

At this point my friend is pretty fed up with the whole affair and, being half drunk and needing to piss, says “You might mind if I get past you here buddy?”

Rodgers looks at him and goes “Do you have any idea who the gently caress I am?”

Keep in mind this isn’t like post-MVP Rodgers, this is I-haven’t-started-a-game-yet Rodgers.

Giants/Cowboys will either be an exciting shootout or a frustrating bout of hilarious clownball, so either way everyone wins. MNF should be good, and regardless of the outcome (Pats win) you know someone (Harbaugh) is going to be all pissy about it to the media on Tuesday

I went up to a guy in a bar once. He was tall, fat, and didn't appear to have showered recently. He was intently watching the games on TV and getting angry. I asked him why. He said this wasn't his final fantasy anymore. They've changed too much. "They used to make you take turns when fighting, but now they just make you do it in real time. That's not real, now enemies don't even get to play defensive turns". I asked him what he thought about numbers, and he said that numbers were for losers, the only number that matters is damage output and healing capability. I asked him what he thought of the framerate, and he got depressed, framerate used to not matter but now he can't even watch the game because he knows the characters are suffering low FPS and won't be remembered as fondly. Just at that moment, a blue haired anime dickweed voiced by a 13 year old did a dance on screen after winning a battle and the man lost his poo poo. "BACK IN MY DAY CHARACTERS WOULD JUST FIST PUMP OR GIVE A SASSY THUMBS UP AFTER VICTORY, NOW THEY ALL HAVE TO DO THESE ELABORATE ANIMATIONS THAT WASTE MY TIME". He suggested the Developers were a bunch of sissies who needed to program like they've made a game before.

Sometimes it works out okay, I saw this guy online who spends his time drawing every Final Fantasy character in different ways. Sometimes he'd ask "what if they were all fat?" Other times "what if they were all hipsters?" You'd think he'd run out of ideas, but it's been like 4 or 5 years and he's still going strong!

I'm now stuck trying to picture all teams as Final Fantasy teams. The Browns are Maester Seymour.
