    Default Hero/Human

    Which one do you pick to complete Ramuh's story?

    Human:
    Historian's explanation: The fact that they didn't report Joseph's death to his daughter was indicative of their guilt for failing to protect him. In the end, heroes are also human.

    Hero:
    Historian's explanation: Although Joseph's death was not reported to his daughter, the manner of his death speaks for itself. This is the story of a true hero.

    I usually pick Hero. While I can definitely see how human would be a good ending, Hero usually gets me with the line of "the manner of his death speaks for itself".

    Of course I've played the game so many times that I've tried both

    I don't think I pick one more often than the other.

    Honestly can't remember. I'd need to be given the full story again to say what I think I would have gone for.

    I love the throwback to FF II. I pick Human every single time.

    I didn't realize it too much at the time (I began with FFVII, so I was never a "veteran" player back then), but I love how the entire game is basically one big throwback - it's nice that Square chose to celebrate it's history, while still managing to make FFIX it's own storyline.

    I'm not sure if I prefer hero or human though - I think as a kid, I always chose hero, but looking back human has a good message to it.

    Yes, can someone post the story in its entirety?
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Beginning:
    Once upon a time, 33 small countries fought together against an empire. One day, a rebel troop visited a man named Joseph, who lived with his daughter. Owing a debt to the troop, he gladly accepted their plea for help. They headed for a cavern in the snow field.


    Cooperation:
    With Joseph's help, the troop defeated the adamantoise in the snow field cavern and acquired the Goddess Bell they needed to enter the empire's castle.


    Silence:
    On their way home, they fell into a trap set by a traitor. Joseph gave his life to save the troop. The troop left without telling Joseph's daughter, Nelly, about the tragedy.

    Human:

    Historian's explanation: The fact that they didn't report Joseph's death to his daughter was indicative of their guilt for failing to protect him. In the end, heroes are also human.

    Hero:

    Historian's explanation: Although Joseph's death was not reported to his daughter, the manner of his death speaks for itself. This is the story of a true hero.

    Oh, I think the human aspect resonates more on a personal level, but the hero aspect seems more of something a historian perspective.

    In the absence of the option "PLAYER: The hero wanted to get on with the game now he'd scored a Goddess Bell, too bad about that Josef guy" I tend to go for "Human". I like the whole "hero is human and has human flaws" thing.

    It's Joseph/Josef's story. I don't care about the other people. Joseph is a Hero. Whether or not the others felt guilt is irrelevant in my opinion.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I generally favour Human because I like to be reminded that although heroes are often revered, they are still human.

    In the end Heroes are also human. When I played the game for the first time I thought this part of the game and it's story was a cool little piece; but looking back on it it was kind of short and it doesn't seem as impactful.

    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.
