Paladin: Possibilities

[Greatguardian]

Last I checked, you determined a game's genre based on what it is; you don't determine what it is based on the game's genre.

If it is so disturbing to call FFXI an MMORPG, call it something else. Or just call it FFXI. I thought you were the one telling me to think outside the box in your Shuriken thread. Now you want FFXI to conform to the box or else? Classy.

Finally, if I piss you off so much, you're welcome to vent about me on other sites where you're free to call me a doo doo head without fear of moderator reprisal. Link me for lulz please.

All or most of your posts just consist of a simple formula: You're wrong. This is how you are wrong. I'm right. This is how I'm right. Completely leaving out the point or subject matter the OP was trying to portray.

Games are never going to become real life, so there's a limit to how far it's possible to think outside of that. Games in themselves are "Boxes", but many who get too into the game mechanics, have made a "Box within a Box" and can't creatively think outside their own viewpoint, in order to improve those mechanics which have failed somehow.

So yea, whatever man. Still doesn't change the fact that most of your posts don't contribute anything. Just continuing to pick at peoples faults and point out their inconsistencies, doesn't make you a savior to the developers the way you think it does. And if your intention is to discourage creative thinkers, instigate people and instill hopelessness towards their ideas, then you've succeeded. Because I'm tired of this forum and all it's negativity, so I'll leave it up to you to run things the way you want. I'd rather be doing other things, than wasting my time in a heated battle with everyone trying to get their point across.

Adios.

ahahahahahahahaha

Good god your reasoning is terrible and your ideas are terrible, you're just embarrassing yourself at this point.

I'm going to have to agree with you, that post is....an embarrassment. The first paragraph made me facepalm so hard I nearly died, Akujima.

Whatever man. I was on your side, but now you can face-off against the rest of those who will dish out never-ending bitter arguments against you. It's clear to see that all this mathematical BS that's stuck between everyone's ears has blinded them from actually having fun with a video game.

I can give a rat's @$$ about mathematics, because stuff like that is just childs-play. What is actually going to make a video game GOOD is content that can appeal to everyone, and not just to sour-puss mathematicians whom fight amongst one another, about how much work it will take to rehash a system that has failed in the first place.

Economics involves more than just numbers, and if people aren't going to play the game because it doesn't feel like a typical MMORPG, nor does it resemble much of the other Final Fantasy series... SE will lose money. Simple as that.

And if that first paragraph doesn't make sense to you, just don't blame me for your inability to comprehend the concepts in which I'm trying to explain.

I can guarantee other forums would understand what I'm talking about, when I say "It makes sense for NINJA's to THROW".

:/ You really don't see what's wrong with that post you made?

That's generally what a debate is (which isn't what he was doing).

I fail to see how its possible to debate a creative idea. Unless that idea is totally impossible (such as that 3 pronged impossible shape or whatever).

All he keeps saying is that "Adjusting current ratio's regarding fSTR and VIT" or whatever "takes too much work". Something that takes "too much work" implies laziness, not impossibility.

You make a great poster child for the saddest part of the FFXI fanbase. This game works on mathematical algorithms people like you need to learn that you can not suggest something and say fuck math because its that math that makes the game tick.

Nevermind actually. This is $%#@'ed up because I was drunk while writing this... But just goes to show you that posting on these forums is so depressing, it resulted in my having to drink just to bring my consciousness down to the same level...-_-...

So I take back some of what I said, but not the points about RPG's or whatever...
