1.-Mention the person you are responding to then

2.-I have tried to argue that there can be preferences, but also acknowledgement of faults and good points within said frame to influence an opinion or not, so your tastes can be argued if they miscontructed the facts of the product in question.

3.-The games you do like within the genre have similarities to those you don't, but you like soap operas (if you realized those games that you didn't like had that but you didn't acknowledge it or weren't aware of it, also see number 2 for misconstruction of facts) so there is that

4.-Is relevant to name the reason why the game was a sucess besides it's appeal to the new generation that later formed the market or the product's quality

5.-Then I am gonna take you differentiate you like from an average entry (subjectivity is not the same as objectivity)

6.-Some of those games you deam "kill shit with your gear" had a more provocative storyline that FF7 (Ultima, BoF, ES) so I am basically saying now "you ain't impressed because you can't now differentiate a sausage with a shit-stain except for it's odor" or "your waifu is shit, get a new one :v"

GioVio123: 1.-Mention the person you are responding to then
Yes, I probably should have done a better job with that. It was spuddy who originally came up with that blanket statement I was annoyed with. You do seem to insist on that same line of "you like it because you don't know any better", but it's been pointed to me alone.

GioVio123: 2.-I have tried to argue that there can be preferences, but also acknowledgement of faults and good points within said frame to influence an opinion or not, so your tastes can be argued if they miscontructed the facts of the product in question.
Oh, I agree with that. Completely.

Of course they have similarities. They are on the same genre. But they are also different, or we wouldn't be having this conversation. Also, the games I like being soap operas or not is irrelevant. Or is that what we were discussing?

GioVio123: 4.-Is relevant to name the reason why the game was a sucess besides it's appeal to the new generation that later formed the market or the product's quality
Yup, it's relevant. It's hardly fair to claim that it was the only reason, though. And yes, the mainstream changes its mind like that. Happens all the time.

GioVio123: 5.-Then I am gonna take you differentiate you like from an average entry (subjectivity is not the same as objectivity)
No, subjectivity and objectivity are different indeed. What do you need me to differentiate? What I liked and disliked from each FF I played? Although for the sake of clarity, let me restate this: my point is that the game is pretty good and that I like it a lot. Not that it's a perfect game or that it is objectively better than other games I also liked, such as FF6. It just happens to be the game it did things in the right balance for my personal and subjective taste.

GioVio123: 6.-Some of those games you deam "kill shit with your gear" had a more provocative storyline that FF7 (Ultima, BoF, ES) so I am basically saying now "you ain't impressed because you can't now differentiate a sausage with a shit-stain except for it's odor" or "your waifu is shit, get a new one :v"
I used the expression "kill shit with your gear" because you used it yourself.
avatar
GioVio123: To bad you think that of FF5 specially when the standard of an RPG was simplicity within it's mechanics and wide world to go around and kill shit with your gear, in fact this game together with FF 9 make for the most serious RPGs that are just trying to be games that achieve what they strive for, being videogames and only adding Drama as if it were a Soap Opera when effective.
you said "the standard of an RPG was simplicity within it's mechanics and wide world to go around and kill shit with your gear", and I don't enjoy that all that much. It's a nice time waster, but it leaves me empty afterwards. I see a difference there, you see a difference there. Why are we arguing about this?

It's late in Venezuela right now. I'm assuming GioVio has been getting progressively more drunk as the thread progresses, and will soon turn into a South American variant of our very own Antimateria.

I can't wait.

Meanwhile, I woke up at 4 am to work on setting up a test server because the usual sysadmin is on holidays, so I'm on an excellent mood & shape. I'll take on any challeger! I mean, I'll have to actually work otherwise, so...

Well we can't have that. OK, here goes.

You're a talking pineapple! Your arguments are invalid!

I liked FF7 but not for the same reasons you did so you are wrong! It wasn't good, except it was, but you don't know me! YOU DON'T KNOW ME!!!!

Lady or Gentleman of this supposed pineapple, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Dragosta Din Tei is a Moldovan song sung in Romanian!?! Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Moldovan, probably at least eight feet tall, sing in Romanian, which is obviously a language for fruits? If the lyrics do not fit, you must acquit! Defense rests.

I don't need to know you to know why you're mistaken. I'm not a talking pineapple, I'm a writing pineapple. Well, I also do talk, but that's irrelevant and there's no way for you to know anyway. So, you're wrong. Therefore, you liked FF7 for the same reasons I did, but your fear of talking pineapples makes you rationalize otherwise and oppose me even though, deep down, you know I'm right.

They're an OK bunch. They try a bit too hard to pretend they're real fruits, but I don't hold it against them.

I cut the fat and trimmed the meat so it can be for ease of digestion (besides we got all that cleared up)

Your first paragraphs conflicts with the second one, besides, I was just pinpointing and being a shit about it while using a generalized way to describe the game, but in my defense, that game had some fucking drama when you just meet Aerith in-game's time with just, like a couple of weeks, but I am a Tifa or Barret kind of guy, so I can't judge why people would cry for a girl who is always bitching about her ex-boyfriend and all her Limit Breakear can be performed via Materia :P (I am trying my best to expand this conversation)

Well we got that cleared up, now let's use that to recognize other game's improvements, I mean you love the game, and acknowledge that, I am just making sure to know for myself you did that with other titles or series, but you are a human goddamn being, so of course you can

Come on, FF7 had that and that kind of thing emphasizes when the story stops and they force you to grind your way out to the next story point , remember Midgar? I am still salty I couldn't explore more for that, and had to fight Chimeras 20 or more times besides I want things cleared up and I am lonely :P
