What makes anime have more potential than other other form of medium?

For me it was the sheer amount of originality and deep psychological story lines. At least at first. Then I found out that half of anime is either school girl uniforms or awkward giant robots or both. So just like any other form of media you have to sift through the shit to find the good stuff.

So you ARE updating. I thought you had given up on it.

FFviii is the most overhyped piece of crap around. There are also a couple of things that make no sense:

For instance, when a pc dies, you can use phoenix down to bring 'em back to life. But when that girl dies in a cutscene, you can't bring her back to life.

Stupid.

:rolls eyes:

Actually, in Final Fantasy V, and that's the best part of it, they try to use Phoenix Down on Galuf/Garuf, which was neat. I always hoped they'd do that.

I tried using Phoenix Down on Gorion. Doesn't work, but it's probably the coolest easter egg in Baldur's Gate.

I've never been into anime, but with these I can agree.

Since when is anime a whole fucking medium? The medium is cartoon, anime is a style.

If yes, then I'm not normal - tell me something I don't know...

That's because her essence integrates itself into the intergalactical materia flow.

What a constructive approach to your own existence and your surroundings :roll: Yeah in that sense.

Heh heh! I was being flippant, dear. :D Perhaps you were as well, but it can be difficult to tell with this internet malarky, hey? Maybe I should use more emoticons? Hmm...

My response was a result of my whimsical playfulness, triggered by your ambiguity, by building further on the structure of ambiguity created. I’d like to blame my weary self; weary due to being in the progress of changing my day rhythm, but that is naught but an excuse, that I don’t take seriously… There was though no intentional ill-will or some such targeted at you.

I’ve not said such a thing ;P
I ‘m fond of my creativity hence my interest in speculative fiction; which spreads to different mediums as, for instance, crps and anime, moreover it is one reason, albeit amplified by others, for my fondness of Nietzsche.
Another thing I like is diversity.

Concerning the anime scene contra the jrpg one, equating these two is unfunded. The anime scene in Japan have a functioning and thriving genre, senien, aimed at a target group from 18-30+ (which of course doesn’t rule out decadent aspects per default), backed up by a senien manga scene. The adult PC scene in the west is worse of within mainstream, i.e. ruling out the indie scene, in this regard of having a niche dedicated to adults which will be capable enduring and deliver in the long run. Any adult scene within consol jrpgs are nonexistence, as far as I know, regardless it would be limited by its medium - the consol.
The anime Berserk, as has been mentioned is a work of sheer brilliance, its dominating theme of, a specific flavor, of elitism is eloquently brought to the fore implicitly thought-out the anime and perfectly rounded of in the end in an explicit manner. Primarily achieved by the psychological development of the protagonists’ / antagonist, i.e. by all the factors that make up who they are and what they become, plus, coupled with the setting, the very reality, they’re part of – munch.

Perspective ;p in Japan anime does note denote what anime means in the West - bit me.

Staying on topic -- my post got buried in heaps of anime chat, so I'll repost what I think you should look into 1eyedking before you go on.

You can make FF 7 look a lot better than that. Use Pete's OpenGL2 renderer and use some shader effects/2x Sai. You can get rid of the jaggies the same way you can using anti-aliasing for PC games. Also, If you really want to see some whacked out shit, make sure you do the Honey Bee Inn thing correctly (when you get to the wall market area). Not something you want to skip at all.

I've been following the Animamundi thread on the Let's Play forum for a while and I always expect those boys to have sex each new update, but it hasn't happened yet. I feel cheated.

There, there... do not feel bad.

First, Georik with Mephistopheles.

Then, St.Germain with Bruno

And just for kicks... Mikhail and Georik - This should appear in the next "update" or the one after that one, if memory does not fail me.

Have fun. :wink:

No! It means you are a freak of nature with serious psychosexual problems! Don't worry, though, I am an expert at "handling" such cases. All will be cured when you take a butchers at this

In the future the deviants will be the normal people and the normal people will be the deviants.
