If you could take over a game company...

Well, he's one of your party's strongest combatants, for one. For two, even as one of the least talkative characters of the game, many people agree he's got the best personality and oddly enough one of the better-developed and most sympathetic personal stories. I personally often found myself feeling more for his plights than Cloud's. Part of it is probably because Cloud's scenes often ended up being overdone, like his speech after Aeris died, where Red just acted more realistically in his scenes.

I can see where a lot of people might not understand why he has a fandom, but he's actually the character with the most true depth from that game, and oddly enough is the one who's been least expanded on, which also leaves him a bit more of a continuing enigma than the rest of the cast.

But seriously dude. I think the word you are looking for is 'discourse'...

I could have, but I technically wasn't wrong in using 'intercourse.'

And I do want to apologize for snapping like that. It just irks me when people pull the "this is perfect and nothing anyone can do can ever compare" card and I overreacted. Sorry, Snake.

It's kind of like Geno from Mario RPG. A fan following I don't quite understand, but hey, Dalton from Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite characters so... To each his own.


As for the original topic... Um... the first thing that comes to mind is I would take over Kojima Productions and welll... do more of the same I guess. More prequels. I'd like to see a remake of the old old ones in 3D although I'm sure they would lose something. I just want to see Poisonous Zanzibar Hamsters in HD damn it, is that too much to ask?

Whether or not you're technically wrong is completely irrelevant. You totally just said you want to fuck intelligently with Snake.

I hear he goes to law school. Better start studying.

The end.

(...I'd love it.)

I liked that post better the first time you made it.

(Okay no that's a huge lie)

I would take square-enix.

The priority of a company is to generate income. The best way to do this is by milking the Final Fantasy franchise for all it's worth. Although I truly dislike what's become of final fantasy in the last years....I would probably milk the franchise harder than squeenix is already doing.
I would keep making sequels with crappy anime-esque stories and Nomura-designed characters.
I mean .... the kids and the otakus love that kind of stuff, no ? Otakus+kids= $$$$
I would probably remake ALL the good Final Fantasies too... (3D FF6 would be awesome! )
I would also make tons of FF spin-offs. Sequels to all games... FF-2,FFII-2,FFIII-2, etc.

Okay ......... Now, with Final Fantasy providing a steady source of income, I would be free to experiment around without worrying about the sales of new games.

I would make new rpg series....
One with a "classical" medival-fantasy setting but with stories filled with high political intrigue, and I would have Kentaro Miura design the characters.
One set in modern times, with really mindfucking stories, and character designs by Hirohiko Araki.
I would also try to revive old rpg series....like, Rudra no hihou, LiveaLive, parasite eve and chrono trigger.
I would also make weird games, like survival horror rpgs or something like that.
More military tactic games.... kinda like Front mission but with more serious stories, also .. another Bushide blade game !!!! :p

What for? He's in law school. With all he has to dedicate to his education, he doesn't have any time left to practice and improve.


I'm just joking, Snake. No hard feelings.

You know what would be a kickass MGS game? Big Boss's last mission: Finding Zero after waking from his System-induced captivity.

For what it's worth.

Anyway. I'd get Nintendo to take Rare back. Or get Rare to go back to Nintendo. Whichever is more relevant.

I've made that post before?
I'm always mind-boggled by the fact that others here seem to have better memories regarding my posting history than I do. I think I remember all of, maybe, five percent of my total posting content.

Unless you're referencing that one time I went on a Magus fangasm that delved into inappropriate, immature material and resulted in me rightfully getting my ass handed to me. Why is it that everyone remembers my worst NPF moments, but not my moments of comparative intelligence, compassion or clarity? Am I that throughly unlikable? =)

Also, Blues: If there's one way to completely eradicate any possibility of hard feelings between us it involves mentioning that Red XIII was awesome and he was the best character in FFVII and Square-Enix needs to start making more characters like him.

I mean that opinion there is just perfect.
(Although your strong lobbying for Red XIII, one of my favorite characters, makes me even more suspicious that you're just trying to impress me because you're still looking for that intercourse. That's what this is all about, isn't it?)

[TARDIS]

oh. one mioar thing if I took over senix...
i'd have FF1 remade with moar HADOKEN, and teh swordchucks.
