    I felt more like a knight of some sort than I ever had playing through FF4/FF2
    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 don't know, specifically in what ways, but it actually has made me a better person. (At least I think so.) Final Fantasy as a whole has made me a better person. It's made me a complete and utter nerd as well, but it has also made me a better person.

    If you mean fanatic, then you're technically a geek, not a nerd. I'm a nerd for knowing that.

    OOC:Oh yes! I remember so many N64 games with better graphics than the FF8 cinematics! Damn it had some kickass graphics!!! [/sarcasm]


    I just started playing it over for the first time in years. I think the last time I actually played it through was back in 2000 (age 15). Now that I'm playing it again (age 20) I'm noticing, not that the game has changed me, but rather, it's making me notice how much I've changed as a person. I can relate to Squall so much and I have like, such a similar attitude and mindset...it's odd.

    It also seems to kick alot more ass this time around.

    (Oh, and if you have a PS2, make sure you turn on the texture smoothing feature before you play. It works WONDERS for FFVIII.)
    I like Kung-Fu.

    IMO, while FMV sequences look cool, they didn't really mix well with the in-game graphics until FFIX. I much prefer the game-generated cut scenes in Ocarina of Time, the transition to game-play is much smoother.

    I have to agree - it has really made me want to do something like that. Save the world and gain true love with the help of my friends....nah, never gonna happen! But I still wanna gain the true love...

    In my opinion, it really did make me a romantic, I guess I just want a relationship like Squall and Rinoa's.
