It's like Good vs Evil. People can choose to be Good or Evil. You can apply the same thing to this.

Okay. I apply that I'm good and you're evil.
Seriously though, how 'good v evil' at all like 'fighting against you asserting it as fact'

It's not that it's invalid. It's just annoying and stupid. What was Square's true intention of putting Japanese on Ultimania?

To reveal more information about the game for the audience most interested and likely to purchase, the Japanese.

It's not my fault that I don't understand Japanese. Therefore, it's not my fault that I got something wrong.

You're incredibly on the defensive, here. Your fault or not, you got something wrong because you didn't have all the information. That DOESN'T make the additional info invalid.

Whether it's invalid or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is why Square targetted at Japanese audience. Square feeds the Japanese new information, not the West.

Which again, makes the information no less valid, and no less crushing to your 'interpretations'

They gave us English VIII and that's it.
If they wanted to re-clarify the plot or whatever, they could of have added English or other languages. But they didn't, so it means... that it's not important.

No. That's like saying if Lucas released a vital bit of SW in English only, it wouldn't matter because he didn't release it in Czech.
It's no less important because they didn't release it in every language.
You just don't like it because it kills your pet 'interpretation.'

I didn't create R=U. A mass amount of people did.

Which makes IT no more valid and the Ultimania no less valid for squashing it.

It's still better to focus on the orginal games, not Ultimanias.
Orginal games don't include mistakes, only Ultimanias do.

"This guy are sick"
"So that's how you'll fool them" "So that's how you fooled them"
The original games DO contain mistakes, and you have YET to substantiate that the Ultis have mistakes, and are essentially SPECIAL PLEADING to disregard this evidence you don't like to protect R=U.

If Square added English to Ultimanias, it could make a bigger difference. Why didn't they market it worldwide? That's pretty good money, if you ask me.

IF they had the money to release it, IF it sold well in the English speaking world.
But either way, it's irrelevant. They released it. IT COUNTS.

It did contradict some people views.

And those people can just go cry in a corner. Their views are not sacrosanct and more important than the creator's story.

It's not just the manual. That's more than one error.

So where else than the manual and what are these 'other errors?'

Hmmm, the manual and the game were created at the same time. So, this manual doesn't qualify as an external source.

The english language manual was not made at the same time as the original japanese language game.

Are you implying that the external sources are 100% reliable when in fact they have made some errors?

Are you making a gorram red herring AND really valid point and i'm impressed by your thinking. to try and distract me from the gorram demand for evidence I just made. HOW IS KEFKA'S BIRTHPLACE A CONTRADICTION? SUBSTANTIATE THIS ASSERTION OR CONCEDE IT AS A CONTRADICTION.
Or do I need to be MORE blunt?

Go do some research, you'll find better information than I've explained in my previous post. No, don't ask me to explain 'cos I'm not claiming any theory.

But you ARE making assertions, and those DO need to be substantiated. And again, I REFUSE to do you work for you.

His English is far better than mine, though.

Which is in fact irrelevant to him not being fun, being off topic, and getting banned almost immediately thereafter.

Latin - Is this Latin?
Is this modern or ancient Greek?

LOL! Their replies include words that are... striking, considering that they have never played VIII before.

Serapy, they're saying it's nonsense too.

Incorrect grammar = bad
Misspelt words = bad

So, they are the same!

It's not 'misspelled words' it's 'not words at all' which is worse than bad grammar.

I don't believe in canon, my friend.

You don't have to. That's how it works. You have no say.

If it's something that will interest players, why not?

Because it goes against your boss- the creator's- vision.

It's impossible for someone to get a job that he/she desires?

Sometimes, it is.

If nobody were greedy, then I could see your point. There are other factors to consider, too.

Yes, like your complete Japanese illiteracy.

So, Square randomly adds text that serves no purpose and yet it's similar to one word that is relevant to the plot. That's one hell of a crazy coincidence, yo.

'Dummy Text' is a common shortcut, Serapy.

So, in your logic, the lions on Ultimecia's castle are connected with Squall, too.

Nope. They aren't linked with Squall. Squall is linked with lions. Not all Lions are linked with Squall.

That his lions being connected with each other is true.

'His' lions? Squall is linked with lions, but not all lions are linked with Squall.

In your logic, his last name is not an obvious link with Lion, then.Don't ever mention Kingdom Hearts. It's not connected with VIII.

No, in my logic, the name meaning 'Heart of a Lion' is an obvious link to him being represented by lions. But this does not mean he is represented by ALL lions.

If it keeps showing up in the game, it doesn't necessarily make it cool. There are too many things in the game that are already cool.

So there's a limit on cool?

It is meaningless. Whatever you're agruing that's not relevant to VIII is always meaningless.

Then all of your threads are meaningless, because none of them are actually relevant to the plot of FFVIII.

Other than him criticising your English, I agree with some of his points based on VIII.

So, you DO agree that you're off topic, then?
And he was incorrect in his criticism of my English.

I don't recall seeing people calling each other trolls upon my registration on this forum.

That doesn't mean trolls weren't well known three years ago. Trolls were common over a decade ago.

What are we talking about again?

You really don't remember, do you?

How do you know that they have no connection? Is there any secret dialogue that I'm missing?

You certainly aren't SUBSTANTIATING any connection.

Interpretation.

Which still needs to be supported, otherwise it is meaningless.
