I think I am of an opinion shared my many around here: We should have stopped with SNES... or at least of taken things a bit slower. Until we switched to 3d, 2d games were gradually getting better with each the designers of each year's games building off of the experience of everything previous.

This was all lost when we switched to 3d. When we first moved on to Nintendo 64 and other comparable systems, things were rough but we expected the systems to hang around for a while so that the designers could refine things and find the optimum. It didn't work that way. Every other year they come out with a new system and a whole new way of making games needs to be developed. And right when things start to have a hope of getting good again, the cycle starts all over.

I am one of those people that want to scream at the heavens 'Leave the damn thing alone already!'

the zipper in the hat is because when you unzip it it turns into a more traditional wizard's hat.

at the beggining of the game he's got a ceremonial wizard hat, and it too is covered with zippers, but they are open, not closed.

When you zip them closed, it becomes the travel version you always see him wearing.

Hey, at least the zippers have a USE, even if it's a silly one... if you want to start on stupid fastening type accessories in FF outfits, it's BELTS... zippers are a more minor offender...

I don't know what you're talking about. No Final Fantasy character has ever had an extraneous, near ludicrous amount of belts! Ever!

I don't understand the vertical ones. Look next to the thigh. VERTICAL belts. How does that work?

There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.

Seriously, what the hell is with the character designs in the recent FFs?

This sentiment is just reinforced after playing the demo for 12....

There's nothing wrong with fighting in a thong...

...well, until you enter the arctic area...

As a side note, which Sonic game is good for the Gamecube? I'm trying to make my Christmas list, and I like to give the parents a little variety in case something isn't there. Aslo, did the Mega Man X Collection get pushed back to January?

Depends. Mega Collection has all the old Mega Drive Games. Gems has Sonic CD and Sonic R, but the others aren't too great (it's cheaper though). Sonic Adventure is probably the best of the 3D range. Heroes (despite that I'm one of the few who enjoyed it) is probably the toughest and can get frustrating at times. Sonic Adventure 2... has Shadow... *cough*

Wait wait wait... "Gems"? Was that a Europe only release? I don't think I've heard of it...
