Crono didn't necessarily look weaker this year, but look what happened to Magus and Frog. You don't think Crono is next? Next for what? Being exposed? Not gonna happen because we've known where he is from the beginning. Magus and Frog were merely proven to be frauds, not powerhouses who suddenly dropped. He believes they have the most annoying fans in gaming (Probably true; Smurf) Which is almost an ironic statement considering anti-fanboys are actually the worst kind. He thinks all Sonic Team have done is release rehashes despite never playing Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. And here's part of the reason WHY they're the worst kind. --- SC2K6 Nominations: Squall, Ramza, Serge, Seifer, Laguna, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden |

Tails is a pansy, but Knuckles IS better than Sonic. So true. As for starting with Sonic 2, what exactly in the game makes him so likeable? He does nothing different from Sonic in the game, and by the time you actually could fly with him in S3&K, Knuckles completely overshadows him with win and awesome. I could see someone liking Tails (until you play Sonic Adventure and beyond), but he still has nothing on Sonic and Knux. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: KH2, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC (wow, my PS2 is actually getting play!) |

I'd vote Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Dr. Robotnik over lots and lots of
characters. That said, Knuckles > Sonic >> Dr. Robotnik >=

I like Tails because he's a character that's easy to relate to and
empathize with. Although Leonhart is right: he got in the way more than
anything else in Sonic 2, but somehow that endeared him to me even
more. :-) --- This was Ed Bellis. |

I like Tails because he's a character that's easy to relate to and empathize with. When all alone in my chair, I just go about wishing I wanna be strong, I really wanna be trusted When all alone in my bed, I just go about yearning I wanna be cool, I also wanna be like him But that's not something I can do so easily This is not simply my way, my style Gotta get a hold of my life I wanna fly high So I can reach the highest of all the heavens Somebody will be waiting for me so, I have got to fly higher Gotta keep goin' Everything is a brand new challenge for me I will believe in myself This is the only start for me When all alone in my sleep, I just go about dreaming I see myself there, having the same adventure If I just follow you, I will never see the light Now is the time to find my way through this life I'm trying so hard to be strong I wanna fly high So I can reach the highest of all the heavens Somebody will be waiting for me so, I have got to fly higher So that song describes you pretty well huh? <_< --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: KH2, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC (wow, my PS2 is actually getting play!) |

Tails is my favorite Sonic character too, but I've never played any of
the post-Genesis Sonic games. As for why I like him, none of the
characters really had any development back in those days, so it
basically all just came down to the character design. I liked Sonic,
but I like Tail's character design more... foxes are cooler than
hedgehogs, plus I guess I tend to like the sidekicks a lot of the time
(I like Luigi way better than Mario). --- Nominate Aeris for SC2k6 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27379470 |

I found something rather interesting concerning Advent Children on a
website tracking weekly DVD sales. As it turns out, Advent Children, as
of April 30th, was second in sales to Aeon Flux. 1 NEW 1 AEON FLUX PAR, $29.95 12 1 1 13 1 2 - - 2 2 NEW 1 FINAL FANTASY VII SONY, $26.96 1 (Amazon) 2 (Best Buy) 13 (Blockbuster) 3 (Buy.com) 2 (Circuit City) 1 (DVD Empire) 23 (eBay) 18 (Half.com) 1 (Tower) The numbers after the price are the place they ended up being at the stores in parantheses. I still have not run across any number or estimate on how many copies it has sold, but I would wager it was high up there.

Actually, that song can feasibly be from SA2 as well. >.> Darned remixes. The only problem with Tails I can find is that he has inconsistent voice actors (why can't they just keep his SA2 voice actor and stick with it?). Other than that, he's a cool guy. --- Finally Playing: Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence |

Sorry about the deleted messages.. and Sorry if this is old.. On the latest issue of Gameinformer.. They had a little article on page 25 concerning FFVII remake.. Here's what it states: "FF VII x XII Last E3, Square Enix made fanboys squeal when it showed how Final Fantasy VII could be remade on the Playstation 3. Of course, the company went to pains to point out how it had no plans to release an updated version of Final Fantasy VII on the system. Rumors have been swirling since day one that the game would indeed come to the PS3, and now Loose Talk has not only heard that those rumors are true, but that the remake will in fact use the battle system from Final Fantasy XII." Take it as you will on what it means.. --- Eagerly awaiting Final Fantasy XII! |

What does that mean? >_> swirl hit it on the head. >_> It means that he's a kid who really wants to be like his hero, follows him around a lot and helps him out, etc. Tails is very easy to relate with because it seems like he's not, y'know, a "cool" dude like Sonic or Knuckles; he's just an ordinary little kid who wants to be cool. He's why I prefer Spider-Man to Superman: Superman is constantly a pillar of strength, infallible, perfect. But Spider-Man's... well, a kid, and he ****s up, makes mistakes, etc. --- This was Ed Bellis. Summer 2005 Fanfiction Project: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27224550 |

I really don't like the FFXII battle system from what I've played on
that demo CD. It tries to be more interactive, but it's really not.
Despite there being the whole "moving around" thing involved, the
attacking isn't much more interesting than just selecting fight or
magic. I was happy when I got Ashe to do a three hit combo, but then I
realized it was just luck,
a critical hit. What a disappointment. From what the demo showed I'd
rather play a well done system ATB or CT system like FFX or FFV. Maybe it'll get better though. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

In my opinion, the chain of the most annoying people in gaming: 1 - Halo jocks 2 - Casual gamers (GTA, Madden, et al types) 3 - Asians 4 - Fighting game fans 5 - Sonic fans I'm aware that exceptions and overlaps exist, but that's a good general top five for me. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best.

I haven't had to deal with Fighting game fans, and every asian I've met
is, um, completely awesome, but Halo fanboys are a pain in the ass.
Meanwhile GTA is more popular than Mario in my school, which means very
awkward situations for me. As for Sonic fanboys...I only know one other person other than me who's a Sonic fan, and he's not rabid in the slightest. --- Finally Playing: Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence |

There probably won't be very many series that can touch Final Fantasy
or The Legend of Zelda or Super Mario, but I don't think it'll be
filled with a lot of fodder. Maybe if it's a 64 series contest, but I
really doubt we're going to see that. --- “Did I say something terrible? Women … I don’t understand them.” – Squall Leonhart |
