Like I said, I enjoy good (and intentionally bad) puns here and there. But at a certain point when every single fate and quest is a pun - some worse than the Titan one - you wind up rolling your eyes more than grabbing your tummy and letting out a hearty guffaw. Why is pun moderation such a bad thing? I'm not saying don't use puns at all, I'm saying don't force puns just for the sake of having a pun. Do you punderstand?

Now don't you start ragging on Dr. Seuss too... This guy...

King Moogle fight: "Kupo, Lupo, Kupo-di-doo"

i loved them all had a good chuckle

I love the puns / references. It's a welcome element of the game that doesn't take itself too seriously. I can't believe how obscure some of them are, too! Take my favorite, for example-- the Coerthas Highlands FATE, "What's On Your Mind?", in which you dispatch a horde of mobs named "Pure Energy". I have to believe that there aren't many people under the age of 30, and/or fans of 80's-90's synthpop, that even get this one...

Remember these guys?

I really have to applaud these writers for how deep they dug for some of these obscure nods, especially when knowing only a small fraction of the playerbase will get some of them!

I say, keep them coming!

Not at all. Reaching for complaints like this really shows how good a game is.

I rather have puns than Quests that state the obvious.

Example for a Mining Quest: Mining for Gold<---- Stating the obvious and I know what I am doing before reading the dialog >.>.

I think the puns are awesome and the op should be put in the punitentiary.

BTW: Seuss did write an adult book. It's called Oh! The Places You'll Go. It was a funny look at aging and life in general. So he wasn't all about Red Fish Blue Fish or Green eggs and ham.

I find the puns to be in good fun and don't find them to be an eyesore myself, but again just my opinion, I tend not to take things too seriously either.

I will say though, I enjoyed the "I just died in 6 arms tonight" fate though, at least I think it was called that...

I have yet to read all responses coming behind this one.
But as a first response this one nails it, hands down, end of discussion for me.
