Spoiler warning for Lunar DS on GameFAQs

It's not like it doesn't deserve it. VII needs to be brought down from it's pedestal and replaced with VI.

Never posted at GameFAQs. I prefer smaller forums anyway.

I think I love you.

Personally, I prefer 9.

Down with Angst! Up with happy heroes! With tails!

I do enjoy 9 even if its final boss sort of comes out of nowhere(I guess that's not a spoiler). I loved the music. And seriously, who didn't love Vivi?

Aww, thanks! I think have to bring the Invisionboard loveblob over for this one.

The victory music in FFIX was a messed up version of VI's if I remember right, so that was cool. I guess they were trying to get back to their roots with that one. Too bad it didn't last!

You can avoid VI angst if you don't poison Cid to death.

Well, there's a lot more angst in 6 then just Celes. Almost everybody in that game has SOME.

And none of them get over it in the 5 mintues it takes Zidane to get over his.

Seriously. 5 minutes. Zidane's happy again and content.

I didn't say you could avoid ALL VI angst from that.

Anyway, I renamed everyone in my FFIX game "Chrissy" so at one point, Zidane (Chrissy) went...

Chrissy:
I wouldn't want that kind of power... if I only had a place to call home...
My brothers in Tantalus, Chrissy, Chrissy, Chrissy, Chrissy, Chrissy, Chrissy, and... Chrissy...
My home is with them in Gaia!

And I nearly died. XD But then I couldn't get my disc four to work (I had THREE disc threes, and none of them worked the entire disc through) so I still haven't beaten it. And my memory card (along with 70 hours of Xenogears, played in one obsessive week!) got deleted.

My name isn't Chrissy.

But yeah, VI had a lot of messed up, ruined, torn apart love stories. The only one that didn't end in death or the lonely life of a bachelor was one of my least favorites.

G1 thanks for the warning. I would have seriously been pissed had I stumbled apon that. When you wait so long for a game the last thing you want to happen is to be spoiled. Espescially when the game hasn't even been released in the US yet.

There's a reason I tend to avoid less censored places when a game I want to play comes out. And for some reason posting on a GameFAQs board always feels like slumming.

They do have their uses though. The turnaround time for a quick question on a well-used board is generally within a few hours. I wouldn't use them for serious discussion, but for random questions like: "I'm trying to give a gift to someone in Harvest Moon and he/she won't take it" it's easier to go to make one stop at GameFAQs than to hunt down a well-traveled fan site forum, register there, pose the question, and then not getting an answer because the forum traffic is too small.

Yeah, I saw the spoiler too. In this case, It actually intrigued me because I know so little about the game. I want to see how the game goes from point A to B based on what I saw.

To be honest, I'm amazed you weren't spoiled rotten SOONER. GameFAQs is absoultely notorious for this. For example, it only took me a day to be spoiled rotten on Grandia III. A DAY.

If you want to not know the story of a game, DON'T go to GameFAQs. I should heed my own advice, but ... ;)

But some that are borderline I could see as making people upset, like the Usual Suspects or Fight Club. But most things still fall under do not spoil for me rules because the thing(s) to be spoiled aren't mainstream.

Case in point on some spoilers being mainstream enough to mention. A recent study about emotional impact of video games used the FFVII spoiler as part of a question. And because of that, the PR company used it in its press release, which means many many places doing the story will also include it. Here's the pertinant part of the release:

[spoiler]Respondents overwhelmingly cited the Final Fantasy series of role-playing games
from Square Enix as the most emotionally rich games, and the death of Aeris in Final
Fantasy VII was the scene many people said made them cry. [/spoiler]

Post by **GhaleonOne** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 7:10 pm

Emotionally rich though? That's a load. FF is known for complex stories, yes, but there are so many more RPGs that have a lot more emotion. Seriously...

[spoiler]WHo the hell cried during the Aeris scene? Give me a break. Tifa was a lot more developed. ... as a character I mean.

[/spoiler]

Angelalex242 · Post by **Angelalex242** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 7:12 pm

A lot more developed, he says. As a character, he says.

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE. :wink:

*death*

I know I sure didn't. Yeesh. Sephiroth does that and becomes a badass for life. Kefka killed--! Well, you know who he killed. That was much worse.

Just a simple request here. Can we specify, out of spoiler text, what game's spoilers you're talking about? I've played through Final Fantasy VII, but I don't want Lunar: Dragon Song Spoiled for me, so I want to know which of these spoiler texts I can and can't read.

Post by **GhaleonOne** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 1:41 am

Sorry bro, should have mentioned that. It's just the very obvious FFVII spoiler. No DS stuff in that one.

Angelalex242 · Post by **Angelalex242** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 1:52 am

Kefka's got everyone beat.

Everyone wants to destroy the world...

But Kefka? Well. Ya know. About halfway through that game...

Just wanted to mention that saying that Kefka killed someone and not specifying who leaves us with a LOT of choices.

ilovemyguitar · Post by **ilovemyguitar** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 2:02 am

I must admit, one scene in Final Fantasy VI got me a little misty-eyed...

[spoiler] When Celes jumps off the cliff. That was a powerful moment for me.

Also, I want to add that as crazed madmen go, Kefka was top-notch. His "building a shrine to nothingness" ravings at the end of the game are pretty damn chilling. [/spoiler]

Funny thing about the Empire Strike Back spoiler...

For the next generation of people, The Empire Strikes Back won't have a spoiler.

Having watched episodes 1, 2, and 3 first, Episode 5 is no spoiler.

Such is among the many changes those who watch Star Wars for the first time will experience. They'll see the movies in the right order...and have an entirely different experience as a result.
