Xenogears was when I realized that listening to the fanboys on the GameFAQs RPGs-Squaresoft board (I was in high school, shut up) was not a good idea. You know how overpriced that game was before it went Greatest Hits? Never finished disc 2. :sigh:

Xenogears is the only game I've ever played involving giant robots that I could not finish.

You wouldn't protect your girlfriend? I mean, all she does is 'date' you and what the hell is that worth?

She's not Cloud's girlfriend, though. To her, he's some dude who broke her roof and hosed up her garden.

The Turks apparently got their own spin-off game, but apparently it was a Cell Phone game in Japan. Too bad, because no matter how lovely the FF7 EU has gotten, rollin' around the streets of Midgar with your buddies in bad-rear end suits, being smug-rear end secret agents would be cool as hell.

It also had a bad-rear end remix of the Turk's Theme song

Thank you for this.

Crisis Core was okay. I mean, every time Genesis showed up I would stop paying attention and wait for him to shut the gently caress up, but the gameplay was fun and the story was interesting, even if it did get a bit Genesisy sometimes.

I've said it before, but the one Genesis cutscene worth watching is the one where he starts reciting that stupid play for the umpteenth time and even Sephiroth rolls his eyes and is all "Again, dude?"

I kept the same party, so RedVII does nothing but sit on the ship for the whole game. The same goes for Cait Sith, Cid, and Yuffie They were just hanger ons that stayed on the ship while the three main guys did everything.

How do you not take your awesome talking dog everywhere you go?

Well, the main problem I always have in games like FF7 is that I get used to using the first three guys I get. I don't want to spend any time learning the strengths and weaknesses of some new guy when I already have a good team. That said, Cid is awesome and I put him in when I got him and kept him there for the rest of the game.

As much as I like Red, I certainly cannot argue with a team of Cloud, Barret, and Cid

Yuffie's last limit break is awful, true. That's why you use DOOM OF THE LIVING instead.

Also, Tifa is a below-average character in combat and a goddamned terrible one everywhere else. She's neck-and-neck with Yuna as my least favorite FF love interest, which, holy poo poo, is some kind of accomplishment.

To be fair, Tifa wants to be the love interest, but really isn't

Based on how Sephiroth just leaves his sword there, I'm going to assume he buys them on eBay, just like everyone else.

No joke, this is the one plot hole that bugged the poo poo outta me as a kid.


And I've never seen that concept art of the Shinra gang. I can hardly believe how loving bad-rear end Heidegger looks.

You know what the Compliation needs?

Biggs and Wedge co-op third-person shooter prequel. Just a pure 3PS, not the half-rear end shooter/RPG poo poo DoC was.

I am still baffled that Barret didn't get his own shoot-em-up game. Don't you wanna play as Mr. T with a machine gun arm shooting the hell outta stuff? Of course, you do! Everyone wants to play that, that would be awesome!

But apparently Square-Enix hates money.

Given the way Tifa glances over her shoulder before bending down in the Mako Fountain scene, I always figured she was rooting around, looking for some materia to stealkeep as a memento.

Re: the pros and cons of various teammates... To me, Red XIII is indisputably the worst character. Why? Because his model doesn't change at all when you change his weapon. :colbert:

On the other hand, Red is a talking dog and therefore one of the best characters.
