Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 19th April 2004
Well we will see in a few weeks. But can you think of a better characterization, based on what we know?
Iwata interview... - Great Rumbler - 19th April 2004
They should base the XBox Next on Amiga hardware.

Yes. It's still going to be a very PC-like console.
Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 20th April 2004
Just with an IBM CPU... does IBM even still MAKE Intel-style CPUs?
Iwata interview... - OB1 - 20th April 2004
Who cares? Is a Mac like a GC because the same company makes its CPUs? That's retarded. ATI also makes video cards for Macs, so I guess that means that my PC is very Mac-like, right?
Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 20th April 2004
A GC IS like a Mac, you know... hardware-wise...
Iwata interview... - OB1 - 20th April 2004
It's as much like a PC as it is like a Mac.
Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 20th April 2004
And how so?
Iwata interview... - OB1 - 20th April 2004
Let's see...
It has a CPU, a video card, and RAM. Three things both PCs and Macs have! Amazing, huh?
Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 20th April 2004
... that is the stupidest arguement of all time! When you say something is more like a Mac in hardware or a PC you're obviously just talking about the differences, not the similarities...
Iwata interview... - OB1 - 20th April 2004
Yes this so-called argument is very stupid. Your whole argument is based off of the fact that the XB2 and GC use IBM CPUs. That's incredibly dumb.
Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 20th April 2004
And rumors. :)
Not the strongest arguement I'll admit, but you can't completely dismiss it...
Iwata interview... - OB1 - 20th April 2004
There's no argument there!
Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 20th April 2004
arguement, as in point, as in issue, etc... not as in 'we are arguing over it'...
Iwata interview... - OB1 - 20th April 2004
Yes that's what I meant. There's no point to what you're saying.
Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 20th April 2004
Then there is no point to what you are saying either...
Iwata interview... - OB1 - 20th April 2004
My point is that you have no point!
Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 20th April 2004
And thus continuing what is by your own arguement a pointless discussion?
Iwata interview... - OB1 - 20th April 2004
Precisely!
Iwata interview... - Great Rumbler - 20th April 2004
The point here is that you both have points that the other doesn't have a point and that the other's point is not a point, rather a non-point. Point. Point. Point. *points*

Spells only fail if you get interrupted while casting them!

Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 23rd April 2004
You can't resurrect yourself when you're DEAD! :)
... Someone else has to do it.
...
Unless your health is below -10, that is; at that point you hit permanant death... but don't worry, you can't be attacked when at impermanant death, so as long as the hit didn't go that low you're safe for the time being.
Iwata interview... - Great Rumbler - 23rd April 2004
Look, I can do things like that, alright? I don't need your permission to resurrect myself, okay?! *Casts "Platform Shoes" on ABF*
Iwata interview... - Dark Jaguar - 23rd April 2004
And besides all the RPG rules EVER MADE apply to this thread! So long as SOME RPG has done it before, do it here!
*automatic "makes no sense" schizophrenic class ability continues it's effects*
*equips one of those guitars that are like... double guitars... ya know? For +40 to attack power and +20% to accuracy, and +a smajillion to funk*
Iwata interview... - Great Rumbler - 23rd April 2004
I have a +3/+3 Afro of Funk you can borrow.
Iwata interview... - Dark Jaguar - 23rd April 2004
Yeah! Mix those stat systems!
My guitar thingy randomly casts "rock" though.
*casts Summon Kidney Stone on Beakman, from the show Beakman's world... with the giant rat...*
Iwata interview... - A Black Falcon - 25th April 2004
Have you ever played an RPG where a dead character can cast 'Resurrect' on themself? :)
... and my +3 Talking Sword... I'll make it a gift! How long until its stupid comments make you go insane...
Oh, and GR, you were right. Spells can fail, if your Intelligence is low enough...
Iwata interview... - Dark Jaguar - 25th April 2004
Yes I have :D. In Final Fantasy 7, there is a "final move" enhancement materia that lets you use whatever materia is linked to it as an automatic counter upon that character's death. While a final attack is nice enough, just attach the life materia and you automatically bring yourself back to life when you die. For that matter, attach Phoenix and you bring the whole party back and deal fire damage upon death :D. It only works as many times as it's level is at though (I think it's highest level is 4).
Also, you've played WC3, so you should know the Tauren hero has an auto ressurect ability. Not really an RPG though, but it's an RTS with RPG elements.
Iwata interview... - Great Rumbler - 25th April 2004
Ha! Take that, ABF!
Iwata interview... - Dark Jaguar - 25th April 2004
The solution however is to just kill him a few more times so the number of ressurects run out.
Iwata interview... - lazyfatbum - 25th April 2004
What about Auto Life and the Angel Ring!? It's all you need! GO GO FF TIT-TACS!
Iwata interview... - lazyfatbum - 25th April 2004
Oh and,
*casts 'Abnormally Stupid Replies for a Person his Age' on ABF*
Hmm... it had no effect... I wonder why... hmm....
Lemme try another one,
*casts 'Ignorant backtalk and slow thought process' on ABF*
No effect from that one either... hmm.....
Iwata interview... - Dark Jaguar - 25th April 2004
Also, the VERY last boss of FFX is ridiculously lacking in anything close to challenge, because all your characters infinitly auto revive.

WC3 is an RTS. That doesn't count. :) ... okay, so there is some games with auto-ressurect items. But I said spells, not items... :D Sure, it's a minor difference, but... I think I'm right in some respect. Auto-things might kick in but you can't cast spells after death. :)
I beat BG2. :( 2 1/2 weeks of 4-6 hours probably 6 days a week will do that, though... yeah, I got kind of addicted...
Iwata interview... - Great Rumbler - 26th April 2004
Look, ABF, you're wrong, okay? Stop whining about it just because I know what I'm doing and you're just a little newbie who still uses low-level weapons and armor and gets killed by the imps on the first level even though you spent all your money on healing items which didn't work in the first place because you were stupid enough to buy them from the village drunk who actually sold you some grass that he believed was a curative.
