FF11 is the antithesis of everything the FF name is associated with. IMO, Square(now Squeenix) needs to just retire the name. Sadly, people will buy anything and everything that carries a big name. Even a complete turd like FF8 makes best seller lists everywhere.

I put a google link to her on the bottom of my 'sig. 352464[/snapback] Which is why we love you.

The truth is... he'd only gone bald right before the series started. And it took him 2 years to get over his scalp.

THE GAMEPLAY IS INTACT! COMBO GAUGE AND EVERYTHING! BUTTON MASHERS OF THE WORLD REJOICE! 2 new gauges... I hope they don't complicate things excessively. Not a big fan of the 3D characters, but the backgrounds look nice. I hope they keep it to sidescroller maps, though.

Keith IS a doorknob. 351112[/snapback] Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk! 351317[/snapback] Is that a line from a song you heard at a gay club? 352045[/snapback] Yeah, wasn't that the one you were dancing to while being sandwitched between 2 hairy biker's? 352247[/snapback] Like I said before, just keep posting. Each time you hit "Add Reply" you reinforce the thoughts that all members have about you. 352340[/snapback] That it's a bottomless well of amusement when you two go at it?

Please... nothing can match the glory tht is ProgressQuest!

Hrmm... pearl-white, kinda like the Saturn and Dreamcast? 351999[/snapback] The Saturn was silver in prototypes, dark grey in Japan, black in the US, then the redesigned one(with round buttons) was white for NiGHTS, and the US redesign was black again. 352082[/snapback] And let me say right now... the metallic one was DAMN sexy.

Mine sucked because I couldn't bear to Google it any longer. I'm not like A1. My masculinity is damaged by looking at pages and pages of raw homosexuality. So I snatched whatever I could find off the first page and ran.

Its like watching an 80s action movie. Just you know, not a good one. 352108[/snapback] But the bad ones are the best kind! I KNEW there was a good reason for the Hello Kitty massager! SanRio: Giving guys leverage through cleverly-disguized sex toys.

Congratulations.

The one at LikSang actually taps the RGB, instead of photographing the LCD. It's a lot like the old TVBoys, or whatever they called those GBA TV adapters. And I'm doubting a PSP home adapter will come out. It's POSSIBLE, but not likely.

Whoa now, Max is considered a stud in Macross. Hik even gets a bit jealous when Max threatens to swoop on Minmei. Doesn't he even boast he's a great singer or was that just in Robotech? He doesn't boast, but he DOES volunteer to sing in his commander's place(Longest Birthday, I believe. Hikaru neglects to bring Minmay a present, and she demands he sing for her guests as pennance). I always thought Max looked cool... Anyways, it's not that Hikaru's a nice guy so much as he's hopelessly inept in personal relationships.

And Graham has turned to the Gundam side of the force, and now goes by the name of Darth Zeta Custom.

Another for Virgin Road. It's a major plot point in the series, it's a Millia-heavy episode(fanboy alert), I WANT to like it, but the animation makes my eyes bleed.

Major corrections: SquareEnix is neither developing nor porting. tri-Ace is developing one and porting the other. Squeenix is merely the publisher.

Different animation group. Her ears are slightly pointy but not really that pointy according to the lineart. Blame the animators. 351626[/snapback] If I recall, they drew Millia's ears a little pointy through the entire series.

What. The. Hell? I want to know what these people are smoking, and if they'll share.

Tatsunoko has to fold for Big West to reacquire all rights. Remember, HG is licensed by Tatsunoko, not directly from Big West. 351201[/snapback] It's a lot more complicated than that. 1. HG is co-owner with Tat. It was originally a license, but htey eventually became co-owners. 2. Even if Tat and HG fold, that doesn't mean that BW automatically get the rights. Corporation law doesn't work that way. The assets of the company are distributed to the shareholders (i.e., Agrama and whoever are the shareholders of Tat). That, or the assets are liquidated, then distributed. 3. Even if Agrama is in trouble, that has nothing to do with HG. A company is a separate and distinct "person". If it has doesn't anything illegal, it can't be held responsible for anything Agrama might have done independently. 351291[/snapback] Forgot about 1. 2 depends, as I understand things. But Big West has an interest in purchasing it themselves anyways, so they'd pr'ly make a strong effort to get whatever Macross-related stuff showed up for sale. 3 is, strictly speaking, true. But major shakeups in the leadership tend to not be good for business. I can't see the article, and the only other one on Google News isn't coming up either. What did Agrama do in connection with Berlusconi? And will it be enough to give them the commuppance trhey deserve for shady (but ultimately legit) business practices with regards to Macross and other properties? Basically... Agrama bought movie TV rights cheap. Berlusconi bought them expensive from Agrama. And then they split the diffrence. Which is stupid until you realize Berlusconi was using this as a way to avoid paying taxes on 275 million dollars of income(plus whatever tax breaks he got for his fraudulent business expenses). It would be good for ADV. This sort of thing tends to make companies worth a lot less. Right where it is now. With a big question mark over it. Presumably ADV would get the license if they bought HG. How ADV would proceeed to handle it is anyone's guess.

Slacker!

Seconded on everything. ... I have the original, and I'll wind up with the port. I'm shameless like that.

*twitch* *twitch* *twitch* Dubbed songs are the single worst localization move in the history of anime. 351200[/snapback] I figure if they're going to dub the show and even got Mari back, they ought to give dubbing the songs a try too. I feel that in-show songs sung by characters should always be dubbed to maintain full continuity... especially when they play a major role in the series like Macross. Continuity makes sense. But IMO, it's usually offset by the utter incompetence with which the new lyrics are written(or performed, but given they have an accomplished singer doing the role, that's not a concern). So I prefer non-translated songs.

Yours is the only good argument thus far, but I can justify NAFTA, and other free trade agreements. I actually wasn't trying to make an argument for or against, really. Just a simple statement of fact. Tariffs in modern times are used exclusively to prevent overseas products from competing with domestic ones. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up for debate. IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY.
