200 km under me because my island is just a coral reef

200km above me because of a liberal chinese socialist global warming conspiracy

Great question! I adore it. I think it's the best job system in a Final Fantasy game (though of course it doesn't compare to the JRPG that perfected job systems, Monster Girl Quest Paradox).

A lot of the stuff that I used to be embarrassed to like about it has only gotten better with age, in my opinion. I used to take games way too seriously...

How about you? I'm curious why you'd think to ask something like this, haha

Ah, interesting. Since you're a fellow fan of FFX I was wondering what you thought of X-2 considering it's a relatively controversial game in terms of ratings.

I have mixed feelings about X-2 (would probably give it about 7/10 overall). I've played it twice and quit both times about half-way through. I realised recently that the combat in this game is similar to FFXIII (especially the paradigm shift mechanic), however I think it works a bit better in that game. The quirky characterisation in X-2 is kind of cool and kind of weird. Although I like what they did with the menu visuals, music/sound effects, stuff like that.

I mean I guess I'm 1/500th the owner of the island? is that how it works?

SA has some really memorable bosses. Parsee is great, Orin is just the best loyal pet catgirl, and Utsuho attacking with nuclear explosions is such a radical shift from standard bullet hell tiny pellets everywhere that it makes for a super cool final stage.

Final Fantasy 7



I still can't believe how good FF7 was when it was released in 1997, compared to its competition.

What was your favorite song from the game? For me... I would go with J-E-N-O-V-A

That song is just amazing...

Why did games from back then... have such better stories and so much more emotion than the crap that is released now?

err, I don't actually think it has that much better of a story than modern games? sorry! a lot of my love for FF7 is that it was in the right time in the right place in my life, like Evangelion. It does have some pretty incredible music, though, yeah!

it's cliche but I honestly weeped openly when One Winged Angel played at the Dear Friends concert

do you mean my favorite aspect, or my favorite section of the game? I guess I could answer both!

my favorite aspect is the way it's not embarrassed to go all in on its lore. In a modern game I kinda feel like that scene where you see Zolomy staked up there would just land like a joke, you know? "trying too hard."

my favorite section of the game is undoubtedly as soon as Cloud rejoins with his own memories, and my single favorite part is when he has a conversation with Yuffie about motion sickness. It's one of the first times you see him just genuinely being himself, and it always stood out to me.

Honestly I go back and forth on it so much I just gave up on trying to pick a favorite. They're all essential anyway.

In some circles ZTD gets a lot (a lot) of hate, but I never bought into this. I'll stand on this hill, just me and Griffin McElroy, loving ZTD forever.

Kitadaitojima

and yes, I am :) though I've made efforts to move away from that whole name scheme because of the obvious name associations. Like ExTha said in the other topic, it's just too much of a hassle for people to bother changing what they call others! So in my case I'd rather people think I'm a new user nobody than use the wrong name, thus this name

(also I just love Trails)

I'd prefer somewhat rural with it being a LITTLE easier to get to the city. The only way is a plane, once a day, for $200, and tickets especially for fridays sell out 2 months in advance. So I only end up going to the city a half dozen times a year. That said, the small insular situation means the community is VERY close, so that's pretty nice!

well the seasons in Okinawa are more like... summer from april to november, fall and spring are a week long, winter is december to february. Sorta. It is cooler lately, down to like 25 C, which is significantly cooler than last october at least.

but I won't be able to wear my Lesser Dog scarf until about january :(

well it's easiest to think of it as Japan's Hawaii. There are Okinawan people (Uchinanchu) that were forcefully colonized and integrated into Japanese society. These days there's a lot of mixed Japanese/Okinawan people here, so the point that it's largely indistinguishable. Like I have one student that's half Filipino and he's called a "Haafu" but nobody with any degree of Uchinanchu in them is ever called out for it. Even though it does give them a darker complexion, yes.

Differences... Okinawa is the poorest prefecture, and also the one with the longest lived people. We credit our active lifestyle and fresh foods (especially goya).

In the undokai I'm playing the Taiko (drum) for several events, like giving a marching rhythm, and also playing during a few races to hype up the crowd. I'm also participating in the Ondo () which is like a dance. Then on the athletic front, I'm in the tsunahiki (tug of war) match representing my town.

if you're into scuba diving and kayaking and stuff you gotta visit one of the outer islands (not mine). On the mainland, definitely go to Shuri Castle and, if you're like me, cry while reading about all the damage the war did there.

Churaumi Aquarium is pretty famous, even if I've still never made it there... being able to rent a car is a HUGE help, and I can't.

It's touristy but Kokusai Doori (International Street) in Naha is pretty cool and very accessible, just a monorail ride from the airport. Plenty of shops and food and just about every weekend there's SOME event there, so you might get lucky and see a thousand people in the street doing Eisa or something.
