The thing about your little argument is that your post here has nothing to with anything. When anyone gave an actual reason or explanation that the it wasn't unsuccessful you simply ignored it. No I gave you reasons as to why even if it sold less then x it wasn't a failure and that saying it was poor in relation to others wasn't correct. You simply ignored it. You were wrong then.
Straight up, you can't read. We had an exchange of around 3 posts. And I didn't ignore anything. My argument was simple. It did poorly relative to FFX as the first big FF this generation. Your argument was that SE felt it did fine by their metric and the decline of JRPG's could be attributed to it not having as spectacular sales (which I don't believe means anything considering FF is an exemption to it as it is one of the biggest franchises in gaming). You do a poor job of representing my argument and I'm not one to dig up old posts but since it looks like you are, try not to do such a crappy job of representing opinions. If English is your second language, I understand. If not, you better be twelve.
This hardly matters now though if I'm honest. I don't remember when we had our little discussion, nor do I honestly care. Crazy thing about arguments on the internet, they don't seem to matter.
Fine I don't care if you don't like the game, but that was your soul reason to say it was unsuccessful. When faced with an actual argument you ran and hide.
I ran and hid on the internet. How I accomplished this magical feat, I will not tell.
Unfortunately, the reality is that I don't have a room filled with cartoon posters (not that I mean to offend those who do, just that if you had a poster of barbie, I'd be afraid), and have better things to do.
My taste aren't bad and it's annoying to be judged because I happen to have a diffrent opinion on one subject. I don't do that to other posters here so it annoys me.
No, you just act like an ass towards them. I'd buy this line of argument from some posters here but not from you. You're a self-admitted asshole and hardly display tact with a lot of people. Heck, the whole calling something shit and being blunt thing is not unnatural to you. Why so surprised if there are others who do the same with things you like?
And yes, your taste "are" bad.
But even here instead of actually trying to have an argument you just attempt to be an asshole and push your opinion.
Paradigm Shift? We've switched roles.
The characters are fine.What respectable messasure? How about video games the thing XIII is. So compared to it's peers it is. The characters are all developed and each of their possibly one note presonas seen and explored. They all have development and u learn everything about each character. That is pretty much not true for most games where characters no matter how shallow aren't even developed enough to be one note. Fine you don't like them, dosent change what I said. Nor do you say anything to disprove it.
Yeah, how about no?
When we want something to get better, we don't compare it other crap and try to say it does crap a little better. Crap is crap in other words.
There is one good arc in FFXIII. That's the black man. Surprisingly, the whole father/son thing is handled rather well. Solid execution, nice build up, and not too melodramatic. Of course, the black guy ends up becoming a walking stereotype (more than before) after the arc is resolved quite early in the game so that's a shame.
But learning everying about characters and having one speech development doesn't mean "well-developed". And there wasn't much to learn considering they're basically walking cliches. Everything we learnt took a few lines. That's how fleshed out they were. In other words, they weren't.
Well rounded? Fine a poor choice of words on my part. But even if is(probably is) this post of yours dosent engage or say anything other then stating your opinion. That's the annoying part. You tag quote without attempting explanation. It's annoying and pissess me off. I wouldn't be driven to be an asshole myself if you simply responded "yo I disagree so and so and maybe here's why". Contempt only breeds more contempt. I sound angry? Sure. What do you come off as then? A pompous asshole. Fine, I come off as a mad dog, I at least I admit it and when push comes to shove I wil back up my opinion. So obviously I have no shame in it.
I didn't tag quote you. I posted a humorous gif in jest (though I still find the post ridiculous). You are the one who raged out of control. Don't take your misdirected anger for people tag quoting you on me.
If you compare the characters to XII a game where half the cast is bland an undeveloped and even the likable ones are one note with little development. Blathier, he's cool sure, but outside of that he is stagnet for the most part and more one note then anyone in XIII. Hope the most annoying character is typical anime scared guy. We find out why he is way and get his motives. Then the character has his arc and changes and it makes sense. He has actual development. All the characters do. To say they are stereotypical is beyond the point. All FF characters have one dimension to them, most lack development though.
Crappy characters compared to crappy characters. Not sure why there would be any point here.
Also, see the bold, I don't think you quite understand what one dimensional means. Because not all FF characters are one dimensional. I haven't even played all the FF games (I haven't played VI which many claim to be the best) and I can tell you're making things up to support your bad argument of the FFXIII cast being good.
Whatever I have nothing more to say to you.
Fantastic.
Right on. Absolutely love it. I don't want to waste time with you either. I'm not really a fan of the whole "arguments on the internet" thing. Especially not with people who have trouble reading (this is me being an asshole now, I admit).
And in part, I can appreciate why you'd get angry if people tag quote you often. I can imagine it being quite frustrating. Doesn't mean it's not true. I think you have bad taste. I mean, you like FFXIII. Just that I can understand. So, for your sanity, I won't do my little jibes of piss take on occassion. My focus shall go elsewhere. Maybe I'll take up fishing. Just need to find a river, or lake.
