    Default The Game's Greatest Dilemma


    Take the treasure, or to not take the treasure?

    As you can see, I was with Jason as he was making his decision. He is attempting a perfect game, so technically, he 'should' take the treasure. But I was little angel on his shoulder telling him to protect the birds.

    Mercifully, he chose not to. You can see me trying to coax him into saving them through the chat log. It was a pretty tense moment.

    But what did you guys choose? Were you merciful, or a heartless bastard?

    It was a very long time before I even knew this was there.

    I never take the treasure; I like animals.

    Isn't it just like 5 Phoenix Downs?
    I never took the treasure. It wins you lady points for the Gold Saucer date, I believe.

    I don't remember, it might be five Ethers. But it's a pretty junk reward. Main thing is to score date points. Yuffie actually likes it if you take the treasure with her in your party.

    I never take it. I get credit for finding it, and the date points, and that satisfied even my perfectionism.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Another wasted opportunity, in my opinion.
    My mistake. I guess there's no good reason to leave those Phoenix Downs behind after all.

    I think it was the strategy guide that said it was worth date points but that thing is so inaccurate it makes you want to burn something's house down.

    It's ten phoenix downs and I don't take them any more because I don't need 'em.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I don't do it for the Phoenix Downs. I de-feather that bird to make my dinner. FYI, I don't attack Snow for the Alexander materia either. I consider it more to be violent sex from which she disappears in shame.
    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.

    I think Snow attacks you and then you get the materia.

    I always take the Pheonix downs, as by that point the wild Cockatrice population has usually pissed me off. Seriously, that railroad is infested with giant birds that attack people, I am just doing my part to help clean it up.

    I was referring to my motivation as the player, not the character motivation. Either way, Snow is not initially the one who initiates the battle. It's only if you touch the hot springs and then touch her that she gets pissed off.

    This is actually true. I read it in the guide.
