And if you think those games are better than Chrono Trigger, then I don't know what you're talking about.
And Chrono Trigger isn't OMG JAPNESEE CUTE CHIX W/ OMG OVRLY LARGE BRSTS LLOLO!

No, seriously just let this thread die away.

I never said that Capcom wouldn't fail. They've failed with several games, like Megaman X7, for example. I said that their graphics aren't overused and that they've used weaker systems for their games.

Also, Working Designs has made good RPGs. Lunar, for one.
(And Square+Enix is Chrono Trigger(Yes I know they weren't merged then, but it was a joint project as far as I know). Haven't played any of their other games.)

"You deny that Akira Toriyama did the character designs for CT then? DBZ, though really bad, is anime, despite what you may tell yourself. "
I didn't deny that. I said that it doesn't have overly chesty chicks in it.

"Also, I never said that jRPGs were bad, per se, I merely stated that Fallout and Wasteland were better games. And they are, if you'll bother to play them. "
I don't know why you said that but okay. Raspberry!

"Ah, but that's not an RPG. It's an interactive story. The difference is, the player has NO input as to what happens in the story in a jRPG (I don't mean CT endings, I mean "You know, I really hate doing jobs for the king. I think I'll kill him and change sides"), whereas something like Fallout is a bit truer to the RPG name, since you control pretty much every action your character does."
That makes sense then. Still don't think it matters about story in a game. I really could care less what's going on(As long as it's not interrupting my playing(In bad ways. Not like Castlevania 3 letting you play as Alucard who's Dracula's son motivated me to play as him because Dracula is awesome, and Alucard is half awesome and half not as awesome.)).

"Please, don't get the wrong idea. I do enjoy jRPGs, though not the recent ones, I just enjoy actual RPGs (cRPGs, if you want, since they are primarily on the computer) more."
I guarantee you that everyone would agree there.

I said it's more likely. Not that it will. Also, I meant with the graphics, not with game quality.

And PHC, yes, my bad. They published/translated it. Oops. >.>

Rinku you need to open your brain and let some truth in. My definition of altruism is EXACTLY what you just said abour Mr. Rogers: Doing things that benefit others because that's what makes you feel good. If Mr. Rogers isn't altruistic, altruism doesn't exist. By my definition altruism doesn't contradict capitalism, but rather is a healthy display of it. And that's almost everyone's definition of altruism. I'm not saying you need to admit slavery is great, just understand that altruism is not slavery by anyone's definition but your own. To 99% of the population altruism is just a non lonely means of capitalism. You need to think about it with a level head, not a hard one. I mean what you're doing is like screaming "That's not a car you dolt! It's an automobile! Count the wheels! Four ! It's an automobile!" And I'm trying to explain that a car IS an automobile.

You say Mr. Rogers helps kids because it makes him feel good.

Everyone else says Mr. Rogers helps kids because it makes him feel good.

I can't get much plainer than that. If you still don't understand what I'm trying to tell you you're as hard headed as a Christian.

Gil, you posted in the wrong thread.

I thought altruism was that "everything is just as good, nobody's evil" ideology. I don't really know what "doing stuff because it makes you happy" is named, but I'm thinking "common sense", or possibly "conscience". However, if a person relied entirely off of "what makes me happy", they would be in a low bracket of ideology, like "hedonism", "nihilism", and other complicated words. Altruism seems more like "doing stuff because they are just as good as everyone else, and I'm no better than them". Sounds like low self-esteem to me.

But that's just me. Rinku can most likely defend himself better.

It is fair to compare small lowcolor sprites to highcolor large ones, because they are judged on their artistic merit rather than technical aspects
(ie. how well they expess the idea rather than how lush they are). In this regard minimal colors can be an advantage, since it allows you to concentrate on the lineart and draw in an 'illustrative' (?) style, which is generally more eye-catching than colorful styles of drawing.

That's nice but I don't think anyone really cares.
