-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Liam: Of course I know about FF10. But, if it's called that here, then doesn't that mean there have actually been thirteen games?

Myst was fun for ten minutes, even if just on a "Look at all the pretty pictures!" level. Mystic Quest wasn't even fun for that.
Mystic Quest has a special place in my heart.
Imagine: You've just played FF3 (IV, whatever), and you loved it. You want another FF game to play. You find one at the store that you've never heard of before, and you buy it anyway, thinking: "Man, that last game really rocked. This one is by the SAME GUYS! I AM GOING TO LOVE THIS!"
You get it home, and it's...Mystic Quest. I found out later that Mystic Quest was developed for the US market, where RPG's weren't selling very well. The idea at Squaresoft was: "They must not like our games because they are TOO HARD. Let's give them one that is EASY."
Now, we're talking about Final Fantasy RPGs here. The word difficult isn't even in their vocabulary. So making an "easy" FF is like watering down Budweiser beer before you drink it. What's the point? You're essentially watching a really, really crappy movie where you have to punch a button in order to get to the next scene.
And of course, I couldn't take an opened game back to the store for a refund. Horrible.

Sounds like these boys are against the death penalty.

quote:The idea of migrating to the land of Status Quo doesn't at all entice me to make the trip.
Only a Brit would be able to appreciate how hilariously funny this sentence is. Suffice to say Status Quo (aka: 'ver Quo) are a veteran British rock group who have become a national institution.
