I can see some problems people have with the game, but I found the game to be a terrific experience, one that did cost me a night's sleep to play. The "k" is actually completely useless in the word "magick" in terms of pronunciation, which is why I find it useless to spell it as such, no matter how hard you're trying to fit in with archaic spellings.

So when we play football, do we kic the ball? Very little of the spelling to pronunciation in English makes any sense. It's only really flavour text anyway.

Pesky Splinter posted:So when we play football, do we kic the ball? If the last "k" in kick was not needed, it would have faded out just as "magick" did. Watching word trends points out what letters are useless and which ones are not. Of course, if "k" drops out of kick in the future, then all the better. You also couldn't drop the "k" in sick because then it would be confused with "sic" which is already a word.

You also couldn't drop the "k" in sick because then it would be confused with "sic" which is already a word. Bow. Bow. The headpiece, and genuflection. The spelling on words based on purely how they sound would be a confusing awful mess of things. But we can tell the difference. To give you an example: T' hed peace, andur jennuflexshun. T' spelin' on wurdz baztd on puierlee 'ow thay sand wuld bee a konfuzin' oarfull mess off fings'. And that's ignoring all the other accents and dialects in the Anglophonic world. As I said, it's just for the flavour text in game, and it fits well with the settings. If they said it in say XIII - a futuristic city, then it wouldn't work. Instead they abuse fantasy apostrophes. But they work for that setting. Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Apr 1, 2012 |

Even at that, it's got good and bad points. But, seriously, once it hits the second disc, it just goes straight down into a hole and never crawls back out.

Shut up about spelling. Bringing up FF12 or War of the Lions in pretty much any goon thread that will allow it will invariably come down to people complaining about magickckckckckckckck. As I said, it's something you kind of zone out after the first HOUR (and considering the prologue is maybe five hours long, that's not that long at all) and then move on to more important things, like "Why does Fran sound like she's voiced by a Swedish bodybuilder?" and "why is getting new gambits paced in such an utterly retarded fashion?". I apologize on behalf for people who won't apologize, for the spelling conversation.

There's a new warp glitch that was apparently just discovered that could let you do a certain something without a gameshark code. I don't want to link the video even though the video tries to avoid spoilers itself.

Alternatively, post it in the FF thread. If it's among the things I'm thinking it might be, yeah, I totally wanna see this if it's not--oh, right, today's April first. Must be warier on the internet.

Elentor posted:Yea nevermind, this talk took a turn for the worse. Shut up about spelling. It doesn't. The story doesn't actually have any resolution, ever. Whenever it seems like it's setting the stage for a fun mission it'll play out in a cutscene, or give you control for a battle that's impossible to lose. The story is at its best when it's cribbing from FF7 and Evangelion, which it does a lot. It has some really impressive and memorable characters and sets a mood like no other game I've seen, but after a promising first few hours the whole experience is a train wreck. If you haven't done the Tower of Babel yet I recommend you never do.
