6 is the best in the series at least as far as villains go. 7 is nothing but a momma's boy running around sulking, and some guy that wants to be someone else so bad he really thinks he's got someone else's memories.

8 is the best one.

I never could get into it. I also didn't have a playstation and had an n64 for a few years so the only one that I really played much of when it was new was FFT. Any of the rest of the PS titles I played later on. I picked back up on PS2 with X

We've moved on to better FF discussion, of which there are 14 numbered and a little over half a dozen spinoffs/sequels.

Nobody talks much about final Fantasy XII, which is a shame because it was really fun. I played it a couple years back but never finished it because bar exam studies got in the way. I was pretty far too but I was in that rough position of forgetting how to play it and being too far along to not want to start over.

14 is actually really good. Even if you don't do any of the mmo stuff and just do the main story, it's still like a 300 hour final fantasy right now. Plus all the callbacks to older games is loving amazing.

The 24 man dungeons in 2.x, for example, were based off the end game of FF3. They even went as far as to have mobs standing in the same order they appeared in random encounters way back when. The new 24 man ones coming out next month a presumably based off of FF6 as they involve the warring triad, people have already found where kefka might be imprisoned, and they have a puppy minion named Ghestal that was recently put into the game. You can already dress up like setzer if that's your thing, as well.

I was thinking the other day about how huge FF7 was, and trying to develop that again with modern assets must be... laborious.

If they do, that's code for run away as fast as possible. Especially for Borderline.

I only won d&d once. Our party read allied with the king of the hobgoblin empire, who was the most absurd martial in the world (killed fire giant king unarmed in single combat kind of guy). We gave this dude the Intel on where to find an antimagic beam thing, and he wrecked a ton of ultra high level mages he had a grudge against.

Of course my character hated him but could do nothing, and the dm screwed up in the final fight and had this guy get knocked out for dramatic effect when the big boss novaed upon death. I was the only one left standing and instead of healing allies simply chopped this guy's head off (the party members would have sided with him over me). Dm really didn't see it coming

I need some help. I'm teaching a course in legal rhetoric, and I want my students to have an online discussion about a court decision (or an excerpt from one) that is short, interesting, and either very rhetorically good, or rhetorically godawful at making its argument. I'll have them figure out what worked or didn't work about how the judge argued the decision, and suggest ways to improve it.

It doesn't have to be SCOTUS-heck, the main course materials(which I can't change) have way too much Supreme Court, so something lower would be a good change of pace. This is your chance to shape the minds of future lawyers debate coaches and paralegals!

(no, I'm not going to use the CNMI rape case- I'd get too many complaints. But if we're shooting for bad rhetoric, that's in the right ballpark of terrible.)
