I did'nt take many words to realize that conveying my thoughts and feelings, would quickly become a massive post:P

I think you have a very good point in that it was destined to succeed, being an FF with more power to draw from. I just feel that it also improved on every single aspect of their franchise. Noone ever wanted to discuss this with me, but even the plot is improved IMO.

At least the narrative took itself a little more seriously, since it did'nt have to satisfy a Super Mario audience anymore ;) I just feel that FF7 had a much better sense of identity.

Regardless, it's the earliest FF to stand a realistic chance of being modernized, without a complete makeover. It's much easier to pick up and play today, than any previous game, and I can't think of anything it lost, from it's predecessors.

Edit:

Playing FF6 today, I can't help but feel that most of the story is whimsical and disjointed. Half of the game, Kefka might as well have been Bowser ;)

The game goes from giving you the idea we are going to be tackling the issues of the environment, extreme means as an ends to the right thing and the life of lower class vs corporation to chasing Sephiroth around the planet for no good reason at all :| Man FF7 is a great game but the story is utter stupidity.

Cloud is hired as a paid terrorist for that purpose; within minutes, he makes it clear that he's not personally invested.

Chasing Sephiroth around the planetisthe main plot, but the business with destroying the world is somewhat late game, and not really important to the main theme.

You're on an adventure to kill your former hero, while realizing that your friends might be indulging you..... You may not be as tough a mercenary, as you thought you were; you may barely qualify as human, your value less than that.

It also had the famous Aeris plot twist, which did'nt hurt me nearly as much as following poor Tifa did. I rooted for her from the beginning and just felt awful for her.

The game is'nt about saving the world at it's core... It's about emotionally wounded people, trying to defeat an even more emotionally wounded person; simply because it's impossible for them to exist together.

The game is all abouth your right to exist and how you define your worth.

Edit:

Damnit GS, you sorely need to update your webcode. The code is ancient and it feels like it's not being maintained.

FF 7 is my favorite of the series so it is nice to see someone who actually understands the emotional depth of the plot instead of grossly simplifying it.

And I agree with others in this thread who argue that if 7 wasn't amazing people wouldn't still be talking about it 15 years later. How often do people bring up FF 2 or 3?

I am in the group of people who would appreciate a full FF 7 remake, although probably not in the way most people would think. If they took the graphics engine of 13, fixed the dialogue, added voice overs (the AC cast was great), and maybe added additional cut scenes or side-quests to flesh out some of the characters more, nothing else would need to be changed.

If for this dream to come true a recent FF game has to be created that "surpasses" 7, then so be it.

The father should have gotten manslaughter charge. He was remorseful and didn't intentionally kill the man, but a man is still dead because of his actions. He used excessive force. In a majority of cases a child molestor does not get the death penalty, so it was unjust for him to kill him because although I am sure everyone here disagrees, rape is a lesser crime than murder.

If I was in the situation of the father, there is a chance I would have done what he did, and if I did, I would expect a manslaughter charge. However, I would be more likely to try to protect my daughter and remove her from the situation rather than pummel the guy to death. Yes I would use great force to get him off her, but I would know better than to beat him multiple times in the head.

So consumers keep asking SE to re-release the Playstation era FF games, but they keep re-releasing the ones that not only have been re-released already, but have not been asked for by the community.

Great.

Do they seriously think that if they were to spend 100 million dollars on a Playstation FF remake that they wouldn't still profit hugely from it?

Do butterfly doors have less resistance to side impacts than normal doors due to the different design? If not, then I guess it looks cool.

Does anyone have a link to the actual equation or solution he discovered? As a physics student I am intrigued by what he has done since I had thought that analytical solutions to this problem had been proved impossible.

Thank you very much for the link! I am however disappointed to see that what he did was not what I expected. His formulation is good, but it isn't anything groundbreaking since series solutions have been available for quite some time now.

I think the idea that Vader would obliterate Batman is a little exaggerated. Force choke? Yeah, Vader could do that, but just because you are being choked doesn't mean you just give up. Batman has been choked by Bane and other super strong characters and does he just lie there and take it? No, he fights out of it. While Vader is choking him, he could throw some quick smoke pellets or hit him in the face with the batarang or something.

Lightsaber? Yeah, it is a great weapon, but it doesn't automatically mean that Batman is down for the count. If you think Batman would just rush in seeing Vader with his saber out you are kidding yourself. Batman would definitely try to disarm him or something and destroy the weapon.

Now, I am not saying that Batman would beat Darth Vader, I am repeating what someone else has previously said, that it depends on who is writing the fight. Vader would not be used to seeing someone like the Batman, and Batman would not be used to seeing someone like Vader. I think it would actually be a pretty good fight.

North and south is an arbitrary decision. It is similar to why left is left and right is right.

I just finished a CS course in Python and it is probably one of the best languages for beginners. The book we used was Fundamentals by Lambert. Aside from Python, I have experience in VB, Matlab, and HTML. Python felt much more intuitive than the other languages. I also have seen some of the stuff that can be done with Python through the job I have so I know it has a lot more advanced applications than what I directly saw in my course.

In short if you have a good teacher and book, Python is a great language to know.

ITT, kissing with no tongue = incest.

Give it a rest, lots of parents kiss their kids on the lips, even up to secondary school in some cases. Many different cultures also have families that kiss each other on the lips regardless of age. It is affection, it isn't sexual.

Also, the parents in this video were obviously acting it up to try to put on a show. It was meant to be embarrasing entertainment, and that is what it ended up being. The people watching clearly saw it as a joke, and the parents and children didn't complain later about it, either.
