    Sorry, drawing a blank on overly-harsh comebacks right now.

    Sudden, irrelevant realization: in any given JRPG, there is a direct inverse relationship between the sexualization of a female character and her utility in combat. If she's got a big rack and eye shadow, she'll be gathering dust at level 10 for most of the game. If she looks like a nine-year-old girl (or is repulsive), she'll slaughter thousands. This holds true for Final Fantasies 7-10, Wild Arms II, Star Ocean II, Seiken Densetsu 3, Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Symphonia . . . I haven't played anything recent, and most pre-PS1 games didn't sexualize, but it seems like a solid trend.

      I only played halfway through 10, and 8 of that list. For 8, I agree (oh how I hated Rinoa), but for 10, Lulu had magickzses. Although I found Rikku more fun.

        Oddly enough at least two of them have similar spiritual gifts to me, so I wouldn't rule it out Sparky.

        Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

        Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

          Don't trouble yourself about such things. Now, have you heard of supply side economics?
          To us, it is the BEAST.

            How would you define supply side eocnomics?

              Well, according to the Bible, fathers can kill any of their children if the children talk back, or disrespect their parents in anyway.

              So this could be one way of God telling people to kill at least some of their family.

                    Do you also believe the Bible says it's ok to stone sinners?

                      That's equivalent to the Muslims saying Jews eat babies.

                        No, but you apparently had no idea what Mr "Fun" was talking about so I helped you out.

                          MrFun is a cherry-picker and a hypocrite.

                            I'm pretty certain that it actually says that it's ok to get stoned with sinners.

                                The biggest problem with a god telling me to kill my family is that I'd need some evidence that this was actually a god instead of a demon, cosmic horror, ghost, hallucination, etc, and if this was the sort of god who'd go around ordering me to kill my family then odds are he'd just smite me for questioning his identity.
