questions about the final fantasy series

Post by Darksider »

1. exactly how can you use any FF games in a debate since they are hugely innacurate when it comes to combat???

2. all throuought (spelling?) final fantasy 8 the galbaldians have all kinds of advanced technology so why are their infantry still armed with swords???

i'll come up with more questions later (and feel free to post any you have)

That's why we normally don't.

Actually, it depended on the soldier. Some had swords, others guns. Heck, one of the guys in your party carries a shotgun.

Looks cool?

Squall and Seifer have gunblades, they're swords only with guns in them.

They're for design and to use them in a debate in terms of physical bounrdies is not good because of the whole problem of what to quantify.

I mean basically you are having a society where bullets mean nothing or are just way overrated(I mean they engaged in Hand to Hand in the whole school invasion bit)

And the less we talk about terms ofphysical magical strength the better, because literally one would have to throw game mechanics out moreso than anything else given that literally story scenes and game mechanics clash with each other ....repeatedly(FF7 anyone?)

Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all
