NO it's NOT okay because I HAVEN'T seen it >:[!

EoFF's official rule on spoilers is that anything older than three years is fair game to talk about freely.

FFVII is going on thir<i>teen</i>.

I guess FFXII is due for spoiling then. Why don't we do it in the banner this time? Official or not, it's still stupid to force a spoiler upon someone.

A game being thirteen years old only means that it's likely that a thirteen year old hasn't played it.

There are still new stories being written wherein characters die unexpectedly. They can be surprised by those.

Furthermore, the case of Aerith in particular is out of our hands. The fan contingent on the Internet has openly and constantly obsessed over it since 1997, to the extent that it's an inextricable aspect of our collective consciousness. The idea of "spoiling" it really is analogous to "spoiling" Darth Vader's relation to Luke at this point.

[Levian]

Yeah that's true. Aeris' case is common knowledge and probably a lost cause, a shame that.

[Jessweeee♪]

Hey I didn't know

I mean, yeah it was my own fault I was spoiled, but I didn't knoooow ;_;

I got spoiled a couple of times. One was with Aeris I think I mentioned it before, although I wasn't too upset with that I'm unsure if I would have responded differently to it if I hadn't known. The most recent for me was Bioshock I can't actually remember what it was but I was upset when I read it in a preview about the second game. I read previews of sequels of games hI haven't played all the time and all those articles marked their spoilers. The thing was I was trying to avoid iot. I had the magazine for a while and decided not to read it, but I was bored and didn't have much reading material so I went ahead and read it. It hurt me then. The issue after that in Game Informer a fan had asked them why they did it and GI rudely replied that they had to in order to allow people to understand what the developers are doing. They had a few extra space on the page. They didn't want to admit that they could have just put one word in bold letters before giving the info. I'm just lucky that I forgot what it was.

The Half-Blood Prince one got me furious too as the person who did it did it on purpose because of some immature plight that he didn't like the book. That gives no justice for you to ruin it for others. opf course I still read it, but I wanted to wring the man's neck also the stupid guy on the internet who did it to a whole bookstore. Immature ass!

Because of all the starwars parodies theyve made, I was not surprised when it was declared darth vader's relation to luke skywalkers.

Also someone told me who the halfblood prince was and that aeris was going to die.
