FFE: Get To Know You Better (Introduction and Friendship-Building Thread)

I wanna know more about all of you and we should become better friends, also this thread needed some loving considering its stickied and it seems like one that we can all easily get into.

Like that, Ezio's outfit from Assassin's Creed Revelations is going to be offered as DLC for Noel in XIII-2. I know I probably should have put this into a news update but in all honestly doing all the formatting and stuff for that, I find to be overly frustrating and I had no other news and this didn't seem big enough for its own news thing. Regardless of that, I'd like your thoughts on this and maybe some other friendship building stuff such as interests or something :D

I answered its complicated for gender right and it kinda is. To answer it more correctly I have a male body but I'm believe that I was meant to be or am a female trapped in a male body which has created a great number of identity and orientation problems for me. I'm not sure and never have been on whether I prefer guys or girls and whether or not I would be gay or straight due to the difference between the gender of my body and my actual gender so its complicated and that may be too personal for the threads so if you want more information on that I think a pm would be better and like I said it is rather complicated.

For college I was majoring in Biotechnology but that didn't really suit me so I switched to an accounting major but haven't had any classes in it yet so we'll see if thats the right major. I'd also like to minor in creative or fiction writing but our school hasn't been approved for a fiction writing minor as of yet but I've already had to fiction writing courses now I just need the minor to get approved so I can put those classes towards more than free electives. I know that is really diverse, science, business, then english but like I said in the gender question, very confused on identity and with many interests.

Favorite manga and anime: For manga I've read some bleach, and I have a good amount of Naruto and Claymore manga. For anime I like Naruto, Bleach, Black Cat, Claymore, Aria the Scarlet Ammo, Shikabane Hime, Requiem for the Phantom, Devil May Cry, and Highschool of the Dead. I'm currently watching Black Cat for the first time, I'm about halfway through the series and I'm really enjoying it. I've also seen some FMA:B but only a few episodes.

Questions for you...Religion as undecided but Christian? and what bands are you currently listening too? I'm currently listening to Sick Puppies.

I d not consider myself with any belief yet I am pressed to be Christian and I want to believe it because I fear that after death is nothingness. I fear this...I am confused and I am pretty much undecided but I am taught to be Christian. If that all made sense

Yeah welcome to the union meconate and I hope you have fun possting.:)

Gosh now I'm really confused, should I refer to you with a "he" or you prefer a "she"?

Hello, I am Balmane or Justin if you wish :)

I am from Ireland and a huge FF fan for many years, I like lots of other things to such as anime, rock/metal music, movies and books. I love hanging with friends to :) 

Hello Balmane or Justin:)

I am John (just call me Vincent)

and I welcome you to the union with smiles:)

#johngrose77 - It's an open world, and almost anyone can know and read a lot of books about all the religions available so he can choose, we have brains and we have to use them, science is not something against religion, the two conclude each other, only those who are living in isolated places will not know a religion, those God will decide about them but most likely will be forgiven.

Welcome Balmane! Hopefully you'll enjoy it here and we can resolve any lingering disputes between the FF unions!

@Squall20xx- I've done a basic level of research into various religions and I simply haven't chosen one. I'm not sure if it stems from my gender or identity issues or if it simply stems from a rebellion against my parent's religion, humanity, or religion altogether. I think that we are all simply organisms that evolved over millenia and when we die there is simply nothing and I've acceptted that. I think the institution of religion is one that provides humans with the comfort in a higher being or purpose that is meant to bring meaning or comfort to one's life but due to my beliefs I see it more as a weakness or blindness from the hard truth of reality. That is my reality and I'm not saying that anyone else's ways are wrong but that is simply what I believe. This is what I have decided. 

Do I question whether or not God exists? In truth I no longer question that. To me the belief in a higher being that created everything even though we have no proof or identifiable connection with him as well as science being able to explain everything in creation, so I believe that there is no God. With the hardships and confusion found in life I find it hard to believe as well as no proof with me being a more of a I'll believe it when I see it kind of person. I don't believe that there is one and if there is I wouldn't want to end up believing in the incorrect one if there is such a thing so I've decided not to worry about it and if it turns out there is a god then I'm resolved that he will reveal himself to me when he so chooses or I may see him when I die. Thats about all on that subject. 

Have I already settled my mind on this? I have already settled my mind on this but at the same time I'm still alive. One of the great things in life is that we are free to make our own decisions and I'm not closed off on discussing my beliefs and I'm not closed off to others beliefs and in that the possibility that my own beliefs may change. 

Any other questions on that or anything else, feel free to ask. I tend to be somewhat of an open book and I haven't quite decided yet whether to view that as a positive or a negative so ask away ;) 

I've really only played the first three series in that list but I agree with the order you have them in. I guess even though it is only one game I would add the World Ends With You either above Final Fantasy or between that and Kingdom Hearts. That game is absolutely amazing in my opinion.Lightning__Evil

Agreed. I was hooked immediatly. I somehow hope for a good sequel. 

#Lightning__Evil - Well I've to say this at least, if I said to you that I'm travelling cross the ocean from Japan to America to meet you in person but didn't find any ship to carry me, I waited and waited for hours but no ship appeared, then after 10 hours of waiting and suddenly a big piece of wood came from the ocean and is surfing towards me, then another one did the same, then a lot of wood pieces did the same and started to group themselves without any interference, they did it to construct the bottom of a ship, then out of the water a big box of pins suddenly appeared along with a hammer, the box opened slowly and one pin float in the air then many pins followed it, then the hammer followed them and started to hit them to fix all the pieces together, they kept working for an entire hour, after they finished a ship was standing in front of me, and I've managed to ride it and sailed across the oceans and traveled to America, would you believe my story or you gonna say it's just a fairy tale? Could a ship be built without anyone interfering? I think you gonna answer with a no, then how is this whole universe do exist without a creator, it's impossible, who has even created science and created our minds to think? Science tells me that there was a small cell that multiplied into many cells and evolved into the universe with all its details, then again how a cell can exist without interfering, it also can't evolve at its own, there has to be someone setting a rule on how the cell going to evolve, it's will not evolve on its own, there has to be someone letting it to evolve and created a perfect environment to let it evolve, science can't explain everything, it can't explain how we are here, religion can explain things the science can't, as I told you they conclude each other, believing in nothing is what I consider blindness and weakness, I've managed to prove that God exist by only thinking, I haven't used any religion, I used my brain and science to prove it, but it took me 1 year to be sure, though if I followed a religion from the beginning it would had been much faster, all I'm asking you is keep thinking nothing more.

Sorry guys but I am kind of sick about talking about religions so I am going to talk about my top 5 Square Enix franchises in order of greatest to less great 1-5.. 1. Final Fantasy 2. Kingdom Hearts 3. Parasite Eve 4. Chrono series 5. Star Ocean There it is.johngrose77

Yeah enough talking about religions :) I said what I felt needing to say, but I haven't played many SE games, played FFs, a little of DQVIII, a little of KH1&2 but never finished these games, oh and I've completed Paraside Eve 2 :) can't be compared to FFs but still nice game :), I wish to play Star Ocean some day.

Ah and also completed Chrono Cross :) though people telling me that Chrono Trigger is the best RPG from SE, so I'll have to play this game too, but doubt it's better than the best FFs.SQUALL20XX

I find Chrono Trigger to be better than most FF's.

Really? :| at least you said most not all, I really can't see how this game is better than most FFs or all, well I'm open minded and have to try it myself. 

The only question that remains then is when will you try it? :DLightning__Evil

I hope you have read my post above, and about CT I'm not sure, have you played it too? :?.

Chrono Trigger is a very good game and compared to the FFs in the same era I would consider maybe equal. I would maybe consider IV and VI better. Why? Because Kefka from VI was way more of a memorable antagonist versus Lavos or even Magus. As well as Golbez being more memorable. Also, Cecil and Terra were way more memorable than Chrono as well. It is really hard to say.. It is hard to say but I prefer Final Fantasy. I will say that Chrono Trigger had the best combat turn based battles of them. The story's would be equel. Chrono was a silent protagonist which is fine but one that has a voice has more character in my opinion.

SPOILER

Yeah I loved FFIV and yeah the combat was better in Chrono Trigger but nothing beats the characters sacrificing themselves in FFIV even though there is a couple in Chrono but to the killing of General Leo to the Opera house to the Phantom Train to the Kain's Betrayell to the relationship between Golbez and Cecil. FInal Fantasy was just so much more memorable in terms of the story in my opinion.

I did read your post but I didn't respond due to the fact that you then said lets move away from religion so I simply let it drop and no I have yet to play any of the Chrono titles.Lightning__Evil

Good I only wanted you to read it, then why you asked me when I'm going to play it? :) Do you have the game now?

Oh really :? I guess I've no choice but to play this game, then why SE haven't continued this series?

Oh thanks for spoiling all of these events to us :).

After GS gave CC a 10 I thought this game is going to be crazy but it's not, haven't actually enjoyed it much, and IMO it doesn't deserve more than 8.0 :|.
