    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    It's not a FF thread without a link to the Rise and Fall of Final Fantasy http://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/index.php?a=patff I especially like his FF11 experience.

    Much like how I think Settlers of Catan is a great game to introduce new players to what the genre can offer I would highly recommend Lords of Waterdeep as an introduction to the sub-genre of worker placement games. In Lords of Waterdeep each player has a number of Agents determined by the...

    A friend of mine made the guess that the Gatekeeper could be future Harry. I hope nothing like either of those ideas comes to pass.

    Dresden Files

    Her refusal of the job offer doesn't mean thing. Murphy is a champion of good and wielder of Faith when necessary. She is the custodian of both it and Love. The wielder of the third sword is an agnostic. Murphy can tell herself whatever she wants. If it is needed for her to wield Faith she will...

    Dresden Files

    Murphy already has taken up Faith. When it is the right time for her to wield it she wields it. That's all the other knights ever did.

    I think that Salem's Lot ends pretty strong. It loops back to the beginning of the story and the two survivors go back and burn everything to the motherfucking ground. I picked up Full Dark No Stars and thought it was some of the worst shit of his I had ever spent money on. It's sitting on my...

    The Evelys Apology

    I wasn't fucking him or cybering him so no, it doesn't. My displeasure of these events is that Tyen and Trexxy had themselves a good laugh over the deletion of the other site. I fucking hate them both and their joy chills my very blood.

    The Evelys Apology

    Having an alter ego doesn't bother me. The freakout and deletion I can understand even as strange as that road is. Having to start up another forum to get away from Tyen and Trexxy? No problem. The self-imposed exile I am not cool with. It is a selfish act in what is a long chain of selfish...

    I don"t care how shitty they wrote Cyclops in this. I"m not turning on the character no matter how much they try and make me. What"s going on here is character assassination and little more.

    I"m not sure I get why Cyclops is being held responsible for his actions while possessed by the Phoenix. I also think rehashing "No More _ _ _ _" is seriously lame. This series had No More Avengers and No More Phoenix and it"s all bleh. For being the event that rekindled mutant kind it was C/C-...

    It took one-hundred issues but I think that The Walking Dead finally yanked the dog"s chain one too many times for me. I thought we were going something else other than "things look alright/the hammer comes down" but the comic just won"t stop doing that.

    The interaction between Green Lantern and Batman was alright but All Star Batman and Robin was oddly similar. I was having flashbacks the whole time.

    The reason she isn"t up walking about is because she has made the decision to stay as she is. I agree with you that I can"t see why she would go back to costumed crime fighting with how important she is as Oracle but who knows. If they keep it canon that she was crippled at least that"s...

    I understand that with the profitability of the associated films that there is a great deal of benefit to having potential new readers be able to walk in to a store, buy a comic or two, and be able to understand most of what is going on. Batman has a son?Howmany Robins have there been? And...

    That"s just it, if they go the really dumb route and The Killing Joke never happened (or happened differently) than all you"ve accomplished is removing a pretty damn fine story from continuity to get around not telling the story of Barbara Gordon deciding to stop being Oracle, regain the use of...

    This is the problem with being a fan of comic books - If you keep reading them long enough eventually something will happen that is so ungodly stupid that you just can"t justify buying even one more issue. I"ve written this a few times but I started buying comics again during the Marvel Civil...

    That is my opinion as well. I"ll be damned if the comics thus far haven"t been very interesting. It has plenty of possibility to go eleven ways of stupid with the reboot but for now it"s alright.

    If you want Barbara Gorden to be Batgirl again than do it. Tell the story of how and why she decides to give up being Oracle and why she is now willing to use whatever macguffin to gain use of her legs again having rejected such offers in the past. I would be very interested in reading that...

    Invincible is very good. It is well written and does an excellent job of subverting some superhero tropes at the same time it is embracing others wholeheartedly. If you have any interest in comics at all Invincible is an easy recommendation to make.

    Yep. The Return of Bruce Wayne, for being a mini-series, doesn"t flow together very well. I"m sure if I went back and read each issue back to back it would be very jarring with the final issue feeling completely out of place. Hell, I got that impression even as they were being released. For...

    This is going to sound silly but I think that Batman was "inside" the box that Dr. Hurt was carrying around, that opening it during whatever ritual day whatever was how Batman got back. Doesn"t make much sense and I am pretty sure I"m wrong but it"s what I got. I even reread 15 again and yep...

    What I"m concerned about more than anything is that the very good Batman and Robin comics are going to change significantly or end all together so they can take Batman in a new direction that I"m just not interested in. If the goal was to change things up than stick with Dick Grayson and Damien...

    The scene with the Joker is, in a vacuum, great. But when you sit down and think about it all the story line does is try and convince you, the reader, that this is a situation in which a villain was using Batman-level preparation against an unprepared Batman. And then at the end it isn"t. Nope...

    Batman R.I.P is a decent series and some of what happens in 52 is interesting. Where R.I.P falls flat is the ending where it is revealed that, once again, Batman was fully prepared for the situation when the whole point was that it was supposed to be one where he was caught entirely by surprise...
