@ Khuutra, Outlawauron and Torillian

Again it would take too long for me to explain what i see as a complex storyline and i just don't feel like doing it right now. Can you guys not except my opinion?

G-value
anything time-travel related always makes for a complex story.
was that to hard?

Wow Twesterm it's like I've addressed every point in that argument before. Do you want me to do it again, or should I just copy/paste my last five-page response?

@g-value:

So you want me to expend the energy to say what made FFXII's story complex but don't want to take five sentences to say what makes a complex story for you? Come on, it wouldn't take long.

There you go, LOST is a great example of a complex story...and it does have time travel.

Meh, I 'd just copy and paste my arguments again too.  :-p

One of these days I'll just bookmark these threads and save myself a lot of toping.

Thats not complex at all. For something to be complex it has to be very well thought out. Something that you know the developer spent months thinking about. Something that almost no other developer could have thought up about. Something as simple as time travel does not cut it.

I'd be at the advantage, though: we've done this multiple times and you've never really responded to any of my bigger ones.

Yeah, I have a short attention span and stop caring after a while.  Post them again and I'll respond if you get them in before I stop caring about the thread.  :-p

People railed against the Gambit system. I think its the next best thing since sliced bread. When treated properly, where you control your main, and you Gambit up your support you finally get what all RPGs shoulda been like 10 years ago.

I don't want to control real time other characters besides the one im focused on, yet I don't want to leave the AI of the other characters to the yokels who developed the game, because invariably they will get me killed. Giving me the ability to create the AI script myself is pure joy, and when I die, its my fault.

You may remember this was in your thread - it went on for a while after you left.
