Wierd things in RPGs...

A very valid and true statement. My reaction exactly.

No! It’s “I, Garland, <i>will</i> knock you all down!” Will!

[b]Here’s one weird thing in RPGs…I once submitted it to a cliche list as “The Ignorance is Bliss Rule”.

Townsfolk will never even NOTICE the monters/demons/yetis/reformed villains/ect in your party, much less panic over them.

Take Chrono Trigger for example. I love the game, but does no-one find it a little odd that no-one in 600 AD notices when you’re walking around with MAGUS in your team? You know, the guy that terrorized them for years? Hell, even if he’s leading your party, the king talks about how you defeated him! [/b]

You know what’s funny? The side quest where yo have to find the rainbow shell, but magus as your lead party character and Queen Leene will say:" Oh Magus! Please help us!"

I haven’t been able to play the game for a long time because I don’t have a PS or a PS2.

It’s not even in the PS version.

Are you telling the truth about that neo pheonix materia? I cried when Aeris died.
errr, yes, I found it while making out with my girlfriend, morgan fairchild. y-yeah, thats the ticket. Then I had lunch with the President! Yeah! In fact, he promoted me! Yeah. I’m gonna be the new spokesman for the State Department! Yeah… sure, I am. It turned out that other guy was a liar! Well, I gotta go… Yeah, well, I… I… I got some business in… in… in Nicauragua!

Now, that, was priceless, of all the people in Guardia 600 AD, I figure that she’s the second most unlikely person to ask Magus for help (Frog being the first.)

Frankly, I thought that that was an act of blasphemy.

I did that all the time to get my kicks in the game. Stupid Queen.

Once again, I delve into a non-FF game.

Quest for Glory V taught me something interesting: Greeks knew how to make pizza even before the Italians did. In fact, even though toppings were generally not added until the US got the food and altered it, they have pepperoni, anchovie, hot pepper, etc. types. And they only costs a couple drachma, and can be carried everywhere.

Another thing from the said game: how does your stuff stay dry when you dive into the ocean? Wouldn’t the salt water ruin your clothes, pack, food, weapons, armor, etc.?

And of course, there’s the Thermonuclear Attack Spell. Why the hell did Sierra give you a spell that not only kills you, but also wipes out all life in the land you’re trying to save? Isn’t that somewhat hypocritical?

I think the weirdest thing I ever seen was using a Dead branch, in RO, and menage to summon Drumroll an offensive, moving, evil Thief Bug Egg. It was just weird.

I’ve always wondered how our heroes carry that many Tents, Cabins, and things like that in their bags. Deep, deep pockets, I guess.

Well, in FFX, when Lulu uses an item, from certain angles it looks like she takes it out of her cleavage.

Maybe THAT’S how they store everything…

Maybe that’s why Tifa’s boobs are so big she almost falls off the airship at the end of FF7…interesting…

And how Celine was able to walk around in Giveaway nearly naked…

What’s this now?

YAR!!

They’ve never come up with a good reason why weapons get better at every advancing town you go to. And in some games, you could spend ages on a sidequest finding some ‘sacred sword’ or sumin, only to find a town later on that coincidently sells endless supplies of better sword.

Sword of Vermillion.

I just remembered silver items. It’s common, specially in some FF games, to see silver armor & weaponry. IRL if you had a sword made of silver and hit something with it hard (like in a real fight) it would most likely bend beyond repair. An armor made of silver would be easily pierced by any a common sword. Silver is dense and all that but it’s pretty “soft” (malleable) if compared to other metals people use to make weapons.
