I said I've not watched a lot of anime in general. Edit: And I guess since I just said it to tool on messenger, look up the term deus ex machina. It has bleach stamped all over it lol We've been over this things are similar thing before What does deus ex machina plot devices have to do with things being similar? Simpsons did it!
So now we are comparing the Simpsons to Bleach? Awesome 8P I'm not telling people to not like Bleach, but to deny the obvious flaws in the storytelling is just denial. I think we had a discussion about that on other people earlier Das 8)
I think the point he's trying to get across is that everything has been done. Every story is a re-telling of another story. There is nothing original anymore.

I remember my friend telling me about this philosophy class he took and one of the students explaining that no matter what unique properties you put onto something, it is merely a revamp of something that has been created previously. Merely an altercation of a previous concept.
Like, it's impossible to make a "new" fictional monster, because it is simply an variation or altercation of previously recorded devices of fiction.

Can you explain what that has to do with using deus ex machina plot devices over and over? You can't because there is no relation. Why not copy a story that actually uses more imaginative methods instead if that's all it's about... ?
Deus ex machina - Something or someone that comes in the nick of time to solve a difficulty, especially in works of fiction. Doesn't that sound like Bleach... over and over and over and over and over and....
It sounds like every FF story to me.

It's always more dramatic to pull the win out in the last second.

A fanboy would say that. Sorry.
Well give me instances where its the same ***over and over again....cuz I'm pretty sure there are differences in each arc that are enough to justify them as being different....
or PM me, w/e its 5:13 AM and I really should get to bed..I have to yell at my power company in the morning..I actually want to pay my bills, but they won't let me for some reason lol.

I'm just saying it would be better if each players deck didn't have 1 of almost every card and they didn't cheat and pull out exactly the one they want/need every turn

By moving a statue no less.
But yeah, it was a nice change to see the villain actually succeed and be thrust into a world where he remains dominate.

I've yet to see another game do that. seriously. I mean You should have all died there, but you still manage to pull it back and take out the enemy when he's at his strongest.
Ok, I'd better stop rimming VI, everyone knows my love for that game lol.

I wish more RPGs did that. You're at the "omg FINAL BOSS, IM GONNA WIN AND SAVE THE WORLD :D" then BOOM! You fail, world explodes, everyone dies, villain wins, and you're only halfway through the game, surprise!

That's what I liked about Death NOte for awhile... until they made the most impractical contrived ending to make Light barely lose. It was like everything and the stars aligned to take him down barely lol.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Continuation from: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/2873/ffxiah-linkshell/732/#150486
Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
