I will be the first to tell you that ...You know me. I will be the first to tell you that ToA features a lot of idiotic bullshit. So much I'm sure they wrote the plot in a stream of consciousness freestyle. But never so idiotic that it makes me question the validity of the setting.<br /><br />Laguna flashback time travel whatever the fuck it was sequences make me question the validity of the setting. Seifer hooking up with Edea with no discussion or explanation for like a disc and a half does this as well. GF side effects not being immediately noticed and reported by military elites is kind of fucking stupid. Ellone having any magical abilities at all is a severe problem given that Magic as humans use it is explicitly a derivative of the real deal, and even then they need a demon stitched into their brain. Squall and Rinoa being lovers whose parents were a charismatic proposition and a glass of wine away from banging is also awkward, but more subtly so.<br /><br />Fuck. Why does Laguna even exist?<br /><br />Now, few if any stories are immune to demands of pragmatism. But don't go giving people reasons to break your story into dust looking for more unintentional comedy.Ecclesiastesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-32921182168054803352014-12-08T06:31:46.095-08:002014-12-08T06:31:46.095-08:00EVERYTHING is really a recommendation for Gargoyle...EVERYTHING is really a recommendation for Gargoyles in disguise, my friend.The RPGeniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752937839502693108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-58711897552362592562014-12-08T03:51:28.431-08:002014-12-08T03:51:28.431-08:00This article is really recommendation for Gargoyle...This article is really recommendation for Gargoyles in disguise, isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
