    Wasn't Seto said to have been turned to stone with some kind of super toxin? I thought there was a slight explanation as to why a soft wouldn't work.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    However I dont understand why they didnt try a SOFT on RedXIII's dad
    Final Fantasy IV gave the player the option of using a Soft on Palom and Porom when they turn themselves to stone. It was a useless option added only for flavor, but it gave the player the option of trying, at least! I wonder why they didn't do something similar with Red XIII.

    Final Fantasy V has a case where the main characters try to save another character from dying by casting spells and using items, even if the characters didn't really know those spells or have those items in stock.
    Good point. This should always be an option to the player... even if it is useless.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    It certainly brings verisimilitude.

    Well, Phoenix Down cures DEATH in battle which is hilarious. However out of battle, idk I guess they did this just for story effect?

    Especially considering the Phoenix Down issue here. Also Zangan mentions that he kept using a Cure spell on Tifa's open wounds after the Nibelheim incident and it didn't help.
