	[quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Pearson"]why don't you first accuse Square-enix of ripping off Christianity and Judaism.[/quote] <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/review0012.php">It's</a> been <a href="http://www.toastyfrog.com/features/features/religion_01.shtml">done</a>. [quote]If you would have spent the time to at least get to the second disk[/quote] A person's time become more valuable sometime between mid-teens to early adulthood. I'm sure we'll both look back at this and laugh together once you're there. [quote]Star Wars ripping off the idea of the EVIL EMPIRE from the Jews and their relationship with the Assyrians and Persians? Or the Aeneid for ripping off the Illiad? Or how about Paradise Lost ripping off the Bible? Its in the combination, presentation and innovation of old ideas that a work becomes original, and if you had spent more than an hour playing before writing that dastardly review you would have realized that.[/quote] Are you kidding? The EVIL EMPIRE was <I>modeled</I> after the Jews! Silly. That accelerated highschool English class is really paying off. [quote]I would expect far better taste from anyone who claims to respect plot.[/quote] Too easy. [quote]Its a pattern to most good RPGs to begin simple with a great deal concealed and eventually reveal a much more complicated plot. [/quote] <b>DISGAEA, MOTHERFUCKER!</b> On the other end, Xenogears & Xenosaga. You = wrong [quote] Take Chrono Trigger for instance, an hour into the game you have very little idea of what your doing. Then it seems all you have to do is defeat the evil Magus in 600 a.d. to make everything right. You do that and you find out that was not the actual solution. You then proceed to Zeal <b>and the story all congeals into a masterpiece</b>.[/quote] HA HA HA [quote]And if you are complaining about the Tree of Mana (actually called the Giant Kharlan Tree) you have neglected to actually look into the history of the Tales series. [/quote] ACTUALLY, the game ACTUALLY calls it "THE MANA TREE" right in the intro (actually!). Maybe you were too busy memorizing the family trees of the series' characters to notice. You seem to think reviewing games should be some sort of massive research project invloving montages of digging through the local library's microfilm and vertical file. Speaking on behalf of 99.9% of gamers everywhere, the history of the Tales series means absolutely nothing to us nor anyone else who doesn't worship Japanese culture outside of its gameshows. [quote] The Tree of Mana was originally in Tales of Phantasia, one of the best games for the SNES next to Chrono Trigger and A Link to the Past.[/quote] Except that it was never released in America, so no one cares. [quote] Are you going to complain that maintaining a historical element of the world is unoriginal? God forbid, we'd have to condemn Warcraft III for stealing the idea of the Eye of Sargarros from Warcraft II, and Final Fantasy X-2 for continuing several characters from one game to the next.[/quote] Funny, the plots of those games sucked too. I think I see the problem here. [quote]play a game all the way through before reviewing it. To put things in perspective, that would be judging The Fellowship of the Ring or Braveheart based on the first 4.5 minutes.[/quote] Way to rush ahead and not read the <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=2475">final verdict</a>. Read the entire review before reviewing it!!!!! >:( No, it would be like judging The Fellowship of the Ring based on the first hour. Because they both take an hour, and both should not suck during that hour. To put things in perspective, you're a mewling Japophile who thinks the plot of Tales of Symphonia "congeals into a masterpiece". Since you're setting the bar so low, may I make a <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=4807">suggestion</a>?[/quote]
