162. There's nothing wrong with Belts and Zippers in and of themselves. It's when Nomura goes nuts and piles them on that they start to look ridiculous. Even that wouldn't be so bad if he didn't do it for every character ever. The end result is that his characters sort of start to look generic after a while.
Also you don't need to be able to suggest an alternative to know when shitsux. Just saying.
169. That's good! I'm glad you're able to do that, and that Naruto helps you with it. I'm not a fan of him, myself, but I will admit that he has his moments.
Thing is, though, just about every shonen protagonist ever does the exact same stuff, only better than him.
Re: 102, 162, 169
(Anonymous) 2008-07-07 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)Besides Squall and Lulu being the obvious examples... I can't really think of anyone else who's THAT bad with the belts and zippers. Cloud wasn't that bad, Tidus didn't really have any belts or zippers to speak of, nor does Lightning.
It's exaggeration like this that I think is stupid. Despite what you make think, he does not make EVERY CHARACTER EVER look the same. And he does not give EVERY CHARACTER EVER the same fucking clothes.
And it's not as if he's been directing FF games (XIII Versus is the only one) anyway. He's directed KH, he's directing Dissidia, and he directed some of TWEWY. Considering how much fans seem to love TWEWY, I can't really see how Nomura is "bad."
This secret is pretty much aimed at people like you that just blindly go on about how much Nomura sucks without any real proof.
Re: 102, 162, 169
Also, I liked the TWEWY designs because it was a departure from his usual stuff.
Also, jesus christ, I don't think he's "ruining Final Fantasy" or any dumb shit like that. The series was at its low point with VIII, everything since then's been an improvement over that. But as a designer? He's boring. His repetitive designs are boring.
Re: 102, 162, 169
(Anonymous) 2008-07-08 01:24 am (UTC)(link)As lame as KH is, it's never bugged me as much as FFXII's shitty battle system did. And even then I don't have much of a reason to hate Akihiko Yoshida for designing the characters or Yoshinori Kitase for being one of the directors. They've made better stuff. I know they're capable of it. So I hate one game they've created, I'm not going to hate THEM for it.
Same goes for Nomura. KH is stupid, but I enjoyed Advent Children for the eye candy that it was, and I thought TWEWY was great. And isn't TWEWY itself proof that not all of Nomura's designs are repetitive? And if that's the case, why are people still hating on him?
Also 159
If you are who I think you are, then I'm sorry if I overreacted when you said you were done with the series. It was just that you had been all over it for so long and you got me and dozens of other people into it and you were always great to talk with about it. I was really looking forward to you getting caught up so that we could squeal over more recent developments that I know you would love, so it was kind of a shock when you said you thought you were done with it. I totally get your reasons, and I hope you're enjoying what you're watching instead. You don't have to feel obligated to stay as 'the *name of fandom* girl'.
Of course, if you're not who I'm thinking of, ignore this comment plz.

(Anonymous) 2008-07-09 10:25 am (UTC)(link)-Name the ones who everybody hates unconditionally for really bad reasons.
Still a few to compare against Naruto, true.
-Of those, let's take a look at the ones that are also orphans.
I think of one or two, but not many.
-And of those, the ones that really suck at what they're trying to excel in, and have to work for years to even get anywhere to begin with.
I'm... starting not to think of anyone except Naruto.
-AND OF THOSE, who lets everyone down and doesn't save the day, but is strong enough to keep going anyway?
I don't care if they have better powers, better storylines, cooler hair, or save more friends. He only had one person he considered family, he couldn't save him, and he kept going.
