How on Earth can you argue that game resale steals developer revenue? Someone had to the buy the game originally! Easy, because it's true. Two people "owned" the game that only one copy was paid for. Yes, someone bought it originally so it is not like piracy but it's silly to think you're...

I think the GotF and Pokemon reference was more "mature dark story," to, "dressed up dark story." Or something since, as you said, the "Pokemon"-aspect of the game dates back to the beginning (...even before Pokemon came out). The visuals have changed but the dark story...

Whilst true, you're still "robbing" the developer of their money, which is the stance most people take in regards to anti-piracy. "PAY DON'T STEAL thx used copy." Sorry, it's stupid and hypocritical to me; you're essentially doing the same thing, from the eyes of the developer (o...

FFIV was one of the first with character death since most RPGs prior merely had "NPC_01" and noone gives a fuck about them. In fact, it was the first FF with an actual cast of characters as opposed to "TEH HEROES YOU ARE," and the first with anything resembling a story, plotholes...

I pretty much only buy new games to support the company as opposed to whomever is doing the sale ... unless it's one of those rare / out-of-print games then I'm screwed. Sure, it's more expensive but I enjoy having the box, manual, and whatever else may have come with it ... plus, I can't stand havi...

The "bigger" problem is they already HAVE a perfect Spear wielding name ... Landsknecht. They're not Swordsman, they used Pikes. Landsknecht is a horrible choice of a name for them. And yeah, Phalanx isn't even a proper name for it but I couldn't for the life of me remember Hoplite >>.

I want that alternate ending to be in the Portal DLC for the 360.

Whoa now, when did spoony bard become a main Character? He's a side character at best. So is Tellah. So is everyone but Cecil, Kain, Rydia, Rosa, and that lame ninja noone remembers who I can't even recall backstory for. But, seriously, what do you expect? A long drawn out ordeal of them burying the...

Hey, they were asking the differences, I just said them. I think some of the hard-mode high-end Personas run into the millions of Yen to re-summon >>. Not a big deal since there's a chest in Monad (end-game optional dungeon) that has a bunch of money in it. Also of note, an equal level "Coin&qu...

[spoiler]Edit: Oh boy, totally didn't put "at the time" in my first post on this. Oops! Yeah, the death scenes later definitely did better than these earlier ones ("OH NOS I DIE FAREWELL") for pretty much all game genres ... but man, were they all pretty lame back in the day. At ...

Easy-mode has half damage (lower HP and DEF too, I believe), the ability to continue instead of "Death is not a hunter..." Game Over screen waaaay too many times, and more EXP after battles. More or less, the combat is about half as hard, if not less ... though outside of Monad, you can pr...

Because it's seemingly "out of the way" to do weird breasts; I mean, the majority of the others (eyes, face, hair, complexion) is just kind of how it goes considering it's a drawing. Unrealistic breasts is just a whole extra step. Or something like that. It doesn't really bother me since ....

"Roguelike" refers to games that borrow from an oooold game called Rogue, which was a "random" dungeon crawl. Pretty much they were: - A random dungeon. - "Turn-based" combat (ie, you act, enemies act; you do nothing, enemies do nothing) - "Harsh" gameplay (ie...
