AAAAGH The vile Jedi Academy novels must die!

Force Crystals are mentioned in Jedi Outcast and KOTOR, though.

Games are non-canon. Or, if you feel forced to say "YES THEY ARE!", then games come below novels. I believe the order is

1. Movies
2. Novels
3. Comics/Graphic Novels
4. Games

Since nearly everything comes before it, games might as well be non-canon.

Also in Shadows of the Empire (The book, not the game), Luke makes his own crystal from scratch.

You disappoint me, Dante......

if you haven't been keeping current with your facts, then don't make a comment.

the Knights do have alignment (Knights of the Round Table.....they were almost all good-aligned), Cloud just doesn't fight many good people/creatures.

Drizzt won't try to block that thing, he'll dodge it, then stick one of his scimitars through Cloud's head. If the first strike doesn't kill him, he'll wear him down. He's fast enough to just dodge until Cloud is too tired to move.....then start carving pieces off of him.

KotR don't have an alignment. They are just summons which attack what ever the summoner tells them to. So, they will attack and kill Drizzt.



What makes you think Cloud is slow? His sword being big would just make him faster. He's carried it around for years, he is used to it and has gone past it.

Force crystals are talked about in most of the games. I'm also pretty sure that I've heard them talked about in one of those anime things that was done on Cartoon Network. For somewhat of an idea how the games use them go here http://www.swgcenter.com/info/article.asp?ID=1877. I'm not sure how closely related the books are to Lucas Arts but the games come directly from there so I'm inclined to belive them.

Edit: Now that I think about it. A force crystal may just be a term for a crystal infused with the force. So any Jedi could pick up a crystal and infuse it with the force.

Knights of the Round have no alignment, they are a summon. They only do as ordered, then vanish again. I don't care of Drizzit is the Pope, they'll kick his ass without a thought.

And Cloud is damn fast as well. Haven't you seen the FFVII movie trailors? Plus Cloud's sword can be weilded pretty fast. I would say in a straight up fight, it would be close. And then Cloud would cast Ultima 4 times in a row, blowing Drizzit to cinders.

In any case, you haven't rebutted my point that Kelemvor, possessed of all the powers of the three dead gods, could certainly overwhelm Myrkul.

Evidence on this, please?

EDIT: And like FZ says, it doesn't matter.

Sure, as though he can dodge the guy who can hit Cactuars on a regular basis. And nobody has ever dodged an Omnislash.

he's slow compared to Drizzt, though.

Besides, Drizzt has the advantage of being under the personal protection of a Goddess (Mielikki), she won't let him die.

Drizzt knows a technique that makes him nearly untouchable by anyone who would obscure their own view (however little it is) by using a large weapon (such as Cloud's oversized butter knife).

This tells me nothing. This is equal to, "My guy is better because I say so!" In usefullness quotient. Give me examples of what he is faster then that I can relate too. I know Cloud is fast, you say your guy is fast. Is your guy faster then sound, cause Cloud is pretty damn fast...

Funny, the goddess must have been an off day when I killed Drizzt's ass in Baldur's Gate then...

What? That doesn't even make sense...

Edit: And about Force Crystals, note that in the example given, it says...

So any crystal can be a "Force Crystal" by their reckoning...

[QUOTE=Dragonsbane]he's slow compared to Drizzt, though.

Doesn't matter as long as he can chop Drizzt in half, very possible with Long Range materia, which allows you to ignore distance issues when striking. He can also use the accuracy plus materia, etc.

Quote proof, and if you're going to allow character shielding then this whole damn debate is moot.

Yeah yeah, heard this all before, then Cloud chops him in half or Summons something to kick Drizzt's ass.

EDIT: FZ, DB's talking about using the enemy's weapon as an optical shield so he can hide behind it and surprise Cloud, but it only works in VERY specific circumstances. Since Cloud holds his sword edge towards enemy, there's no optical shielding possible.
