It was a parody to the Stairway to Heaven song from Led Zepellin :P

There are a lot of parodies and tie-ins to cultural symbols in almost all FF's.

yeah definetely.

Even summons for example, some are named after greek gods, then some after hindu gods & so on.

Bonus round on FFXIII

One of the guys thinks PS3 > 360 2:1 for FF13 sales

he also says itwill deliver & is amazing (he sounds like he's played it)

He also says xbox 360 version is on par with PS3 one

Pachter says GOW3 will sell more in March, not FFXIII (PS3 sales only)

Pachter doesn't understand why FF sells so much

Yeah, pretty much they melded a lot of other mythologies and pop culture into a well sown together mesh, that's what's great about FF and what some other RPG's have tried to imitate as well.

It's pretty easy to see a western analyst not understanding how a JRPG sells so much. I bet he also wonders why WRPG's don't sell as much in Japan too :P

Wait a minute... Pachter is an analyist and clearly states that he doesn't get FF, and does not know who would be buying the game???

Maybe he should analyse some sales... I thought that was what analyzing was about...
I'm confused... but i'm starting to understand the overall hate for Mr. Pachter...

that was me who said ps3 will be 2:1 on FF XIII sales lol but i'm not a guy and i haven't played it yet so nope it's not me. Just watched the video its Garnet Lee hehe

pachter is silly, he really doesn't know much about the game industry, he just guesses on the popularity of things from what people say around him, the trouble is the FF fan base is huge, so FF XIII is set to sell more than GOW III.

Edit: GOW III has a chance of outselling the x360 version of FF XIII tho, maybe

lol

TBH jneul, that could be hard if MS gets the advertising rights for NA!!

Pachter I dunno, he has had 15 years to analyze why FF is very popular in the west, if he hasn't realized yet, he won't ever realise it!

Forget that he's still shocked about uncharted 2 selling "lower than expected" despite it almost beating uncharted 1 in sales in 3 months flat



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Oh Darth, we all know that for a game to be succesfull it has to sell Mario, GT, Halo or Pokemon levels in 1 week :P

I am confused too, but remember the bonus round is a "fun" atmosphere so he probably does have some slight idea.

But he still think Wii HD will come...so there you go

A question for you guys before I go to school (continuing part 2 activity of the day):

This ones from FF9:

What is the name of the Giant Owl that attacks you in the forest outside Black Mage Village?

______

I'll be back from school in 3 hours & I'll update scores & everything then, until then try to beat lestatdark at the questions guys lol!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I think it is said that no one speaks up and says something about his stupid remarks about FF. Confront him that as an analyist he's doing a bad job and he doesn't contribute to the program or discussion with his lack of knowledge. Are they amateurs, or simply afraid?
