Perhaps a new simile/metaphor needs to be made.
We've already got "like shooting fish in a barrel" and "like taking candy from a baby." Perhaps we need to add "like owning Pat in an RPG argument."
...hmm, I don't think it'll catch on. Too wordy. Doesn't roll off the tongue easily enough.
Mind you, based on any threads in recent history at GR, you could probably shorten it to "like owning Pat" and it'd still be true. And I mean, really true, not 1-in-4 or 1-in-10 true.

so we're all clear on this, seraph is still saying that no Final Fantasy has ever had a main enemy be the heroes father. And Sonic agrees with him.

I'm beginning to think neither of you have played FFX.
I'll give you a brief rundown of how it starts.
Giant blue whale/dragon attacks protagonists home city. Giant blue whaledragon turns out to be said heroes father.
Blue Dragon starts off with a giant blue dragon/sandshark attacking the protagonists home town.
I don't know about these differences anymore. Go on seraph, give me another 6 page monologue about how the Final Fantasy games mirror the tribulations and triumph of the human spirit.

Way to misread. You're now suggesting that the shark in the opening sequence of Blue Dragon is the main enemy of the game? And I thought you hadn't played it?Pat wrote:so we're all clear on this, seraph is still saying that no Final Fantasy has ever had a main enemy be the heroes father. And Sonic agrees with him.

That would also make the shark the endboss of the game. Which it's safe to say, is not the case. You criticise me based on the use of the word similar, yet see no fault in your "If it was anything like".
Edit: for Pilonv1 - sorry it's gone this way. If Pat hadn't thrown in the mod towel, this thread would've been locked down or otherwise done away with back when he realised he had no leg to stand on.

Hmm, missed this post before.Pat wrote:Yeah, I mean how many games have the whole "Antagonist is the heroes father". Just a coincidence I'm sure.
Anyway, I do believe you were saying something funny. Something along the lines of defending the FF series as being a bastion of originality?
You claiming that Star Wars was the first story ever told where the hero's dad was the bad guy? Bold claim.Pat wrote:Yeah, I mean how many games have the whole "Antagonist is the heroes father". Just a coincidence I'm sure.
Here, I admit I need your help. Can you please highlight where I claimed FF had storylines that were a bastion of originality? Because at a glance, I can't find anywhere where I claimed such a thing... or is this another one of your hypotheticals?Anyway, I do believe you were saying something funny.
