The One Thousand Most Annoying Things Ever!!

[A Black Falcon]

I'm 24 hours into Skies, and still loving it... well, except when I get stuck... :)

Oh, and most of the comments I made several years ago weren't exactly based on many facts. I mean... two hours of FFVII's demo, half an hour of the demo of FFVIII, and a half hour of Pokemon and maybe a little Final Fantasy ten years ago isn't exactly a good sample of the random-battles Japanese-style menubased RPG... :)

And I really don't know why I find it more tolerable in some games than others...

Oh, and from more play menubased combat seems to grow on you. I still definitely don't think that its as good as strategic combat (like BG), but its not too bad...

I don't know, I definitely find the random combat in the game irritating, but it seems tolerable to me... I like the battle engine and how the characters move around, I love how you can actually see enemy health bars (a big improvement over FF's lack of those things!)... and its quick paced so battles don't take long. Also, you don't run into a absurdly large number of battles... at least not in the N64 version... its not nearly as bad as any FF game I've played, I'd say.

And finally... I am not sure if Skies is actually a BETTER game than Wind Waker. I just know that I'm having more fun playing Skies than I did playing Wind Waker.

Oh, and I got over halfway through Golden Sun playing it in emulation. For some reason I found that one fun too... that, Skies, and Lunar 2. And not FF6... though maybe it'd change if I tried it again, but I'm not so sure... I don't know.

How long can you keep this up? I honestly believe that the only reason you're sticking to this insane opinion is because you hate to admit defeat, especially for a debate that has latest this long. But who are you trying to kid? I'm pretty sure that everyone here thinks your claims are ridiculous.

On some of the other things... yeah. But not about the point about text descriptions being images, that I think is true.
