I started it and you continued it.
| pokoko said: Yes, I know you were trying to insult me |
Not at all, but if that's how your mind works, then it explains a lot of the problems we're having. Don't assume everyone is always being hostile.
| pokoko said: As far as society having a problem with androgynous characters, I seem to remember that guy in your signature being pretty popular. |
He wasn't quite so androgynous back in the day. If you cast your mind back, he had very masculine features back in the original game; it's only in the sequels and prequels that he became girly looking.
And he was pretty damn muscular. I can easily imagine him wrecking shit up.
| pokoko said: Look you're just making up stuff based on how you think it should be, not how it actually is. |
Care to give examples?
| pokoko said: Does it really bother you that Cloud and Sephiroth used impossible swords? Okay, cool. |
Only a little bit, and it was mostly explained by the story. A lot of other JRPG's don't give us such convenient explanations for how the skinny dude is so fucking strong.
| pokoko said: I don't even know what you want anymore. |
I want a double quarter-pounder with cheese. And a nice joint.
| pokoko said: Seriously, I don't know what to tell you at this point. JRPGs are usually not very realistic. If you can't handle that then don't play them. Problem solved. |
Again, you seem to think that I'm talking about my own preferences. Maybe I like weird stuff, but recognise that lots of people don't and also recognise why they don't? As it happens, I have a moderate amount of tolerance for JRPG weirdness. I can handle a little bit of it, but not too much.
| Ajax said: What about women that look like men? Are they in rpgs? |
That only appeals to a niche market.
| Ajax said: Why don't characters in final fantasy look japanese? Maybe some do? |
Japanese beauty standards.
Although they don't look completely white either. Maybe half- or quarter-Asian.
