It looks AWESOME. Abso-fricking-lutely awesome. Better than FFX. Plus...no more cliffhanger ending! Way to go Square!

Sorry, dear. But it's not a game. It's a direct to DVD FMV movie. I'm still uber looking forward to it, despite my miserable failure to beat the game...

How exactly is this an RPG? It's more of an adventure game with RPG elements.
Now, if you were going to talk about TSR buying back the rights to D&D, setting up shop back in Lake Geneva, WI and bringing GenCON back to Milwaukee... then I think the RPG gamers of the world would rejoice.

Yes, and Indiana, the state with the highest number of known KKK members in residence, deserves it more than Wisconsin. Go back to playing basketball, Hoosier-boy.

I think we should adopt a new word for RPGs — like the German term Rollenspiel. Then define it to include all RPG's made east of the Pacific Ocean ...

Kooky Killer Klowns. They're kinda ridiculous looking, like coneheads in ghost sheets, and run around towns trying to cheer up poor minorities by burning lower case 't's on their lawns ('t' for "time to cheer up"). It really brings minority communities together, and attracts a lot of attention from such prominent institutions as the ACLU and NAACP.
P.S. Eduardo - this is not a serious post. Somebody will give you a serious answer in a few hours, I'm sure. Maybe. I hope.

Hey, Indiana successfully kicked the KKK out of our politics, and without anybody else's help. The KKK headquarters has long since left.
Besides, we're pretty sure that's just because we have more people than most of the other states popular with the KKK.

Eduardo, the Ku Klux Klan is an organization that was formed after the civil war by racist white people, who basically used the organization as a tool to anonymously persecute and lynch black people. While the violence has calmed down a bit over the years, they still stage large-scale protests and rallies that do little more than embarrass the town they are held in.
Klan members identify themselves by wearing pointed caps, white robes, and sheets over their faces — the garb they would don to mask their identity during a lynching. Americans in general despise them. They are basically considered the absolute low of American society, perhaps one and a half steps above the Nazis in Germany.

Well, thanks for the explaining about KKK, guys. Well, you must think I'm preety dumb not to know that, hun? ;-) Sheesh...guess me and my not so light skin should be away from those guys, hehehe. Well...let's talk about nicer things, like...gaming stuff. Why did GENCON moved so many times in recent years?

GenCon had always been held in Milwaukee up until this year. They moved it to Indianapolis because, as a larger city, it can handle the crowds better. GenCon is not as big as DragonCon, but it's certainly up there.

Oh heck. Well, I screwed that bit of info up. Well, it DOES look good, and it's more FFVII goodness...I guess it works out okay, eh?

To be honest, I have never understood anything Final Fantasy. I tried to play VII, VIII, IX, watched "The Spirits Within" and all left me feeling like I had been robbed of something dear and precious to me, my time.
In fact, I had no idea they were even considered RPG games until long after I had spent many, many hours with other CRPG offerings such as Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and (my personal favorite) Planescape: Torment. I still have a hard time reconciling FF games to the same category as those, but that is just silly old me.
I still intend to give this DVD a chance though.

Indy is a great city, and personally I think that one of the greatest RPGs of this new year, is Lionheart, its getting bad reviews, but im addicted. And the KKK is just a bunch of morons, youve got nothing to fear man, they couldnt figure out how to lynch a person with fifty of their brains put togther.

I lived in Indianapolis for two years, admitedly in my extreme youth. I loved it. I have nothing further to contribute to this thread. Posts: 1364 | Registered: Feb 2003

Indianapolis has improved DRAMATICALLY over the last ten years, and is now a good place both to live and visit.
That said, Lionheart blows chunks. It's one of the worst RPGs I've ever played -- and that's made even worse by the knowledge that it COULD have been one of the best, but was somehow touched by evil. It's like an alchemist came and turned gold into dung.
