No, it's opinion. Whether a character is "strong" or "weak" cannot be fact, because there is no quantitative scale on which to measure a character's personality. Even psychologists (you know, those people who study the mind and are paid for their opinions) cannot pass their ideas off as undeniable fact.

Then you said my problem is: I think you're factually wrong - yet you say this from a point of where you are forcing that you are inarguably correct. It makes sense to me I guess; I knew I wasn't arguing with an adult by any means especially after your last tirade where you blast that despite your age you are superior blah blah and I have no idea what I'm talking about. Who's using and abusing opinion now?
You can be wrong without him being right, you know. Just because your posts are filled with glorified opinions, backed up with no evidence and an annoying amount of text that isn't arguing the point at all but merely attempting to cast your opponent in a less favorable light, does not at all imply that Vivisteiner is right about all or any of his points about the game. You can both be wrong (although I am not judging Vivisteiner right now, and thus am speaking hypothetically).

Like I said, I have no further response on the subject of whether FFIX is not the best FF or not. You are clearly a devoted fanboy with an FFIX name, FFIX signature using FFIX quotes and defending your love to the death. I was a teenager and knew everything 5 years ago too.
And you are clearly a self centered twerp who doesn't realize that even fanboys do actually have a right to defend that which they love, especially when the people discrediting it aren't offering any facts to support their views.

The fact is nothing will come from this argument because it's a fact a person like yourself could not ever admit any sort of defeat much less consider an opposing view be it opinion or fact. You're a young, ignorant person that through the safety of the internet exhibits a very juvenile sort of self-boasting of intelligence and the 2nd definition of bravado.
Stop trying to make yourself sound smart, because you're terrible at it (I'm using the second definition of terrible there). Let's look at your sentence here: "You're a young, ignorant person that through the saftety of the internet exhibits a very juvenile sort of self-boasting of intelligence and the 2nd definition of bravado." Let's take some time and analyze this. First, claiming he is young and ignorant is totally incorrect, because, as you yourself pointed out, this is over the internet and, unless you are an extremely capable identity thief, you cannot know his age, or what knowledge he does or does not possess. Second, arguing that he is exhibiting certain behaviour through the safety of the internet is a laughably ridiculous position to take, since you yourself are doing the exact same thing. Of course, you'll probably argue that you're not doing it because the internet offers safety, but for the hundreds of other possible reasons someone might want to post on here. Unfortunately, since you just picked the reason that suited your argument the most and ignored all others, I'm going to do the exact same thing. Any argument you could make to justify your behaviour could also be used by Vivistiener to justify his behaviour, which would mean that in order for you to do so you would have to admit you were wrong, which I doubt you'll do (you'll probably just sit down with a dictionary and thesaurus for five minutes and do your best to denounce my mental acuity. Good luck with that). Then we get to "exhibits a very juvenile sort of self boasting of". Your behaviour has been just as juvenile as his, if not more so, and all your precious work with your dictionary apparently failed to notice that the words "sort of" and "self" are wholly unnecessary and do nothing but increase your word count and make you look like a fool who doesn't actual understand any of the words he is using. Finally, we get to your last phrase "boasting of intelligence and the 2nd definition of bravado", and this is the part where I actually cracked up. First, it's entirely inconsistent. Put down the dictionary and take an English class. If he is boasting of "A" and "B" that means he is boasting of both "A" and "B". So you're claiming he is boasting of his intelligence and bravado. Since you looked up what the definition of bravado is, you should have had no trouble realizing just how ridiculous that claim is. Also, believe it or not, you don't have to specify which definition of a word you are using. Even if you are doing it for your own reference purposes so that you'll be able to understand what you wrote, you should know that it does nothing but makes you look like an ignorant, pompous git.

By the way if you're less than flattered about my seemingly presumptuous take on your character, don't be. I've spent years studying people and it will be my 9-5 job to know and understand them very well. So far you've proven me almost psychic but I'll leave the self flattery to you.
Actually, claiming yourself to be almost psychic is in fact self flattery, so your last sentence is rather self contradictory. Some may argue that I'm indulging in personal attacks and flame wars, but in reality I'm trying to open your mind and help you to realize that hypocrisy and pseduo-wit are not the way to win arguments. Have a nice day.
