9. Oh lord. Be prepared for some hardcore wanking here. Please come out from the closet so we may talk.
I'd hardly say that Celes was a mary sue or that the game was generic at all. That's just like saying that when the lord of the rings was written, it was a generic fiction novel. You can't say that when it's the first of it's genre to do what it did. If you can tell me that you had played a game that even tackled the concept of suicide, characters creating surrogate parents as coping mechanisms, or any of the million other points that the game brought up back then, I'm going to be tempted to say that you lied.
Judging it from standards of up to 10 years later will of course show that the game is dated and congratulations on pointing something that anyone else could point out. We're aware. We loved the game for what it was and how it broke the glass ceiling of fantasy story writing.
11. I liked TaiTo for the reason that Yamato needed Taichi. He was the one that stopped him from being the total dick that he was. I personally hate the character myself but he makes a really good counterbalance to our fluffy haired leader. Not to mention that Yamato actually does have a decent reason to be an angsty little dick. (He is still 10 after all and dealing with divorce and fraternal issues with his brother. All 10 year olds tend to be dicks.)
21. Same here but I'm fascinated by Elven architecture. I secretly want to live in a tree but not have pointy ears and feminine features.
