Well let's see. Shinra was basically taking on the role of the government (or governing the city). And lots of people are controlled by their government like that (or have been in the past).
And all they were doing was trying to find out things about a person who they deemed as the bad guy or one of the bad guys. Compared to in Xenogears where they have 13 year old girls piloting superhuman gears that nobody in the world can pilot.
HEY! That 13 year old girl is more like....6000 years old or something.
Also all the things you say that do not happen have happened...for the most part in our history of the world from Alexander the Great to Joan of Arc are just 2 example that throw the 'never happen' crap out the window.
You know what would never happen...magic. All these games are [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] :laugh:
Not to mention that she wasn't a girl, she was a nano-tech robot.
And then there's the little girl Maria who pilots Seibzehn, but it contains the brain of her...father, was it? So he's basically controlling it more than she is, not to mention the fact that she's a child genius anyway.
Yeah, too bad everything else about the game is pretty half-arsed.Quote:

Well as far as Joan of Arc goes you have about 600 years of embellishment going on there.
Joan was a very charasmatic individual and did convince people that God would help them win. I don't know if we really know how big of a role she really had in the battles though. And besides, people ended up turning on her very quickly. I don't know how old Alexander the Great was but I believe he was older than 18.
Anyway, you had to go back through almost a 1000 years of history to find two individuals. Whereas Xenogears had about 5 times that many in one time period alone.
Dude. It's called fantasy for a reason, even if you want to ignore the fact that young people were far more capable and "adult" a couple hundred years ago than they are today. You may not relate to it, but that does not by any means make it impossible.
I seriously thought that the charactors and music were the absolute weakest in the series. The plot was decent, and I enjoyed the world, but otherwise I wasn't very impressed.
I really think young people would be more capable of doing physically tasking things today than they were a couple hundred years ago with all the weightlifting programs and othr things they have going that they did not have going then.
Yes, nothing to do with the fact that all work back then was manual labour, compared to now where young people are endlessly lazy and have most things about their lives automated.
Yes, all about the weighlifting.
God, do you even THINK before you type out a message?
I completley agree. The little scene where they [FFVII cast] all introduced themselves to President Rufus sums up the character depth perfectly. 'And I am a flower girl from the slums!' :pQuote:

[edit] I have seen some beutifully designed characters though. The designs seemed very conceptual in thier imagry, and the relative symbolism they all offered to the characters. Smokin Cid was a taboo badass as well... godiluvthatguy.[/edit]

Well Lindy you must be thinking about all those people who sit on there couch and watch tv all day long. Where as I am thinking about people who actually go out and work out and keep their bodies healthy.
You throw out insults before you think Lindy.
You do realise that's most people these days? The complete laziness aspect? Compared to everyone bar the rich and powerful being involved in manual labour in thems tharr olden days, and even then if you're talking medieval times then most nobles would be trained in martial combat as Knights.
Back then it was top heavy to physical exertion, now it's top heavy to a complete lack of it.
Again, think before you post, maybe the logic will seep into your brain one day.
Lindy I don't really think you know what you are talking about. Have you been around sports teams of highschool, college, or the pro levels.
Those guys have some of the best work ethic around. You go out for a sport and then find out how hard it is to go to school all day long and then bust your butt in practice for three hours or so. And then go home and do your schoolwork.
Those guys are anything but lazy. Don't think that just because you might be in a situation where everyone you see is fat and lazy that everyone is like that. Because there are tons and tons of athletes out there that are anything but what you just described.
And those athletes ARE physically more capable than young people were hundreds of years ago.
Again you throw out insults before you think through things Lindy. Try not to next time.
