I KNOW GOD GET OUT OF MY GAME

The thing that REALLY kills me about Gackt is that the whole game PLUS AC were like, here's the most powerful man in the world and he's seriously badass no one is better than him----OH WAIT except this guy he's even cooler.

That don't sit right =\

Here's the thing about Compilation, though. I'm sure that a minuscule part of my disdain is nostalgia, but truly? From an objective standpoint, Compilation is truly an oversimplication (while at times complicating uncomplicated things) and just plain wrong about certain aspects of the game. Sure, there is a lot in the original game that Compilation does not contradict but someone viewing only Comp. would miss out on, but beyond that there are serious errors in basic things like archetypal characterization.

Take Reno for example:
It's not just that people who view only Comp. won't see his badass, drunken, married-to-the-job behavior, it's that what's presented esp. in Advent Children DIDN'T EXIST. Not only did it not exist, but unless he had a lobotomy in that two-year difference there is no way his original character would have ever developed into what he "becomes".

You could argue it's a subjective matter, but the extremes are just that: extreme.

Nah, not wanky at all. I've been anxious to play the game lately, but whenever I got the urge I went straight for Crisis Core instead 'cause it was there (and because when I do get back to FFVII, I want to start over from the beginning but have been holding off because omg I don't want to have to do that parade again, and the dolphin and the CPR noo), but I'm thinking I'm going to have to stop that. The time has come.

Thank you for the insight. :)

(Also fuck, I still don't know the secret to not failing at CPR)
