SG Spot Award, May 2006: JayDubya!

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun May 07, 2006 1:04 pm

The first ever SG Spot Award is given out to SG members who go out of their way to make SG better. It will be handled out when necessary, because we are not the most active community on the interweb.

The first ever SG Spot Award is handled out to a nub, granted, but one that has an undying passion for all things square enix, one who disrespects any opinion different that is, even tossing reason aside to further prove his point, that Square Enix is just that awesome.

I nominate you, JayDubya! Congratulations, you win the prize!

Let's see at what makes him such a great SG member!

After first raising opinions that FFVII:AC is not all that, JayDubya took it upon himself to defend the Oscar winning movie:

Unless the general consensus here is that SaGa Frontier is the pinnacle of PSX Square gaming, in which case I will promptly run away, and strongly suggest suicide to you all.

Damage control ahead!

JayDubya wrote:this is the Final Fantasy movie a lot of us said we wanted

He even goes out of his way and lies:

You don't like it, cool, I like it alot, agree to disagree, whatever.

...because really, he found a heathen that doesn't like FFIX!

!

Damn, you were on a roll! FFIX did suffer from being one of the last major PSX releases, but it also had probably the best graphics that elder piece of hardware ever put out. The gameplay itself was perhaps a bit too simplistic, but I do miss well-defined character classes, and at the very least character unique abilities. IX seemed to be a bit of direly needed old school in the midst of espers, materia, GF's, and sphere grids.

"Thank you for buying Square-Enix games."

To be honest though, you can't really complain about a square fanboy signing up for a square forum

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Mon May 08, 2006 12:07 am

I certainly can give a spot award to a fanboy being a fanboy.

I know I was certainly surprised when I came back and found out how many people had become anti-Square. I still remember back when just about everyone on the site was a Square-fanatic. Anyone still remember how excited everyone was for the release of FF:TSW and how all SG was all going to go to Vancouver to see the movie together for it’s opening?

Shaun was even going to rent a space so we could all meet up for a gathering beforehand...

QFT. I admit I'm a Fanboy / Otaku for a lot of different franchises in a lot of different mediums, and Final Fantasy is definitely one of them. I think I mistakenly thought some of you guys might actually, you know, like Square games and products. Weird, I know. O_o

Seriously though, I see lots of hate for FFVII, hate for FFIX, hate for FFX, hate for Vagrant Story, hate on the upcoming FFXII, and love for Kingdom Hearts and FFVIII. I think I've somehow stumbled into an alternate reality. I'm hoping we all share some sort of mutual love for the classic Final Fantasies or something. >_>

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Mon May 08, 2006 7:01 am

I'm not sure where you've seen all that hate

Hate for FFVII, wtf?

Sorry but I'm pretty sure that for most of us Advent Children != FFVII

As far as I know FFVII is a game that most of us enjoyed and still love.

Hate for FFIX? Well, personally I like it...

As for FFXII, well, to me the battle system showed in the [google]demo[/google] sucks and is boring as hell. That's what some of us think, but some people also love it and think it's great. But at the end of the day, most of us (yes, even those like me who were disappointed by the demo) will play the game anyway.

Now, I also fail to see how loving KH and FFVIII makes people 'bad square fans' or whatever you mean by that comment. Personally FFVIII is one of my least favourite FFs but I still enjoyed it, and some of its aspects were totally awesome imho.

As for classic FFs, they've been discussed 63556421337 times, but if you want to start an actual discussion on something interesting feel free to do it. Though to be honest I doubt any enlightening discussion could start from one of your topics. As Ward said, you win the prize, nubness ftw. I like how you judge a whole forum on the point of view of a couple of people who happen to not be completely blind fanboys

Anyway, if you don't like it here, feel free to just leave and post somewhere else... [google]Wandering Flame[/google] might be the kind of place you're looking for

Possibly, but I don't think it had an official name. Just a friendly gathering of tight knit Square fans wanting to go see a Square movie that we all thought was going to be good...

I totally agree, though I did like IX better then your seemingly unenthusiastic reaction...

Errrr, it was called SG World. And as Chris said, a lot of us didn't go there to see FF:TSW, we had other reasons to go and TSW was just an 'added bonus'

Excuse my unenthusiatic reaction, it's there just because I didn't like the ending

But I enjoyed most of the game, at least the first 3 discs were awesome imo

Yes, I didn't enjoy the [google]demo[/google], for all the reasons Entropie explained in that thread, but I'm still planning to play the game, and so is she, and so is Damien... I know Damien and I didn't give many reasons in that thread but that's mainly because we've got a busy life and had discussed it so much in real life that it seemed pointless/a waste of time to repeat everything again here

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue May 09, 2006 6:27 am

I gave pretty much all the reasons I had for not liking the FFXIII demo in that thread actually.

I've played a fair few hours into the Japanese version of the game and while the cutscenes and such are obviously pretty, the battle system is still getting to me, and a few other problems with the general layout of the game.

I prefer a fanboy to a guy who pisses and moans about everything.

Or you know...a guy who makes a thread just to insult someone and fails to notice the obvious hypocrisy in "one who disrespects any opinion different than his"

I don't see what honouring those that make SG great has to do with insecurity.

TO · Post by TO » Mon May 15, 2006 11:29 pm

You guys are unbelievable. Square-Enix is the greatest company in the world. Nothing they do is wrong, no game they make is bad, and to suggest so just shows how truly stupid and ignorant you really are. All Final Fantasy games are terrific and basically flawless. FFIX is especially awesome. The decision to have Zidane's sword handle fashioned to be a rubber dildo was especially impressive as it was an obvious forshadowing of the tragic events occuring in Darfur. You all should feel lucky that the gods at Square Enix are gracious enough to provide us with such flawless titles which provide us hours upon hours of entirely uninterrupted joy. Not only that but they are always looking for new ways to add replayability to their RPG's. For instance, the addition of significant mini games to the FF universe was a terrific choice. Yes while everyone loves Triple Triad, and to a lesser extent Tetra Master (which is obviously equally good), the FF gods' ultimate masterpiece is without a doubt, Blitzball. Here is a minigame that is so flawless, that it could truly stand on its own. In fact I'm not sure why research hasn't yet begun on recreating the in game blitzball arenas here in real life, so that people all around the world can enjoy this sport. This mingame provides endless hours of enjoyment on top of an already flawless game. Speaking of the game, have you guys ever witnessed perfection encoded on a DVD? Because thats exactly what FFX is. Everything about the game is awesome. Especially the characters. My favorite characters are Tidus and Yuna. Tidus is the ultimate hero. He's the guy we all root for to succeed. I have attempted to model my life after his with some success. When I first saw the scene where Tidus and Yuna share a forced laugh, why, I almost shed a tear. I was tempted to pick up the phone right then and there and contact members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, to have them add video games as eligible media, as FFX would surely sweep such an awards ceremony with its terrific voice acting and script.

So in conclusion, the idea of anybody saying anything remotely bad about Square Enix makes my blood boil. We should all be lucky to have such an excellent developer provide us with as much enjoyment as they do. I for one continue to donate money to them, in hope that it allows them to continue to produce the flawless content they have become known for. So fuck off with your obviously sarcastic comments waward, JayDubya obviously gets something that you couldn't possibly hope to comprehend if you lived to be 100.

Asaroth Larot · Post by **Asaroth Larot** » Mon May 15, 2006 11:33 pm

Am I actually expected to answer that seriously?

Your award is sarcasm and basically an insult thread.

It looks like you actually suceeded in chasing JayDubya off as well. I guess you could argue that if he couldnt handle it he wouldnt have lasted long here anyway, but you cant expect someone to stay if less than a week in some prick starts a "gang up against this person" thread.

Basically, I cant say I agree with this idea of making "award" threads for nubs if it scares off the new posters. You know, I like this site not being fucking dead all the time.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Mon May 15, 2006 11:39 pm

Yes, it was serious. He did make SG great for all of the reasons depicted in the first post.
