ASV:
That makes a strange kind of sense, like much of what you say, Mog. Now, if only we could nail down how exactly moogles are poisonous, we'd be set to win the RPG-Pulitzer... Or something...
I've got a question for you, though, Mr. Imperial Mog, sir. How do you feel about the treatment of moogles in general lately? I mean with no moogles in FFX except for dolls, you must be worried about finding a she-moogle, ne?
And, while I'm not female, or named Paws, I'll take the monks singing my hello, too  ^_^

ASV:
From the pic in question, it seems you're correct. I hope that Paws has good health insurance for all the laser removal she's going to be needing...

1. Well, you can't fault them for trying...It's not as though they've got much choice, and besides, there are gamepads out there for the truly diehard PC gamer. Besides, if console-style RPGs were tailored for the PC, they wouldn't be called 'console-style', now would they? In the end, it's more a case of familiarity than anything else. Console RPGs feel the way they do for a number of reasons, and while using a controller is high among those, it's not the only thing they've got to overcome (for instance, I rushed through my playthrough of FF7 PC because of the ass-awful MIDI and the fact that my computer chair is much, much, less comfortable than sprawling on the couch/floor).
2. My contact with Freeware RPGs is mostly limited to annoying emails I delete. I can't speak for the other department heads, but as far as I'm concerned... no.
3. When making the game fun becomes more profitable than making it long.
4. Well, I've never played it, but I'm glad to see you like something. I was beginning to worry there :)

1. Because of inertia, and the fact that most of the time PC RPG players are different people then console players. And in most cases they use the keyboard to make up for the lack of joypad. Which is why PC to console ports suck most of the time.
2. Freeware rpgs? You mean those things people make in their spare time? Since our coverage of them is 0% right now, I can gladly say we plan to make it 4x what it is tomorrow.
3. Fun Fact: MMORPG companies make more money the more you play it, whether because it is fun or long. Therefore they don't care. Also it is a matter of taste, I find some fun, and some not. Maybe they just don't appeal to your taste you freak. (I'm so nice, eh?)
4. I have played Deus EX, I have loved Deus EX, until I left it for hitman. And yes I do consider it a partial RPG at least, though it isn't my decision as to whether we cover it. It is up to Firemyst. So bug him.
5. -_-   o_-   O_O   -_-

TRC quotes:
1. Confucious say: "As console get better, graphics get better." It's just evolution. Newer consoles can handle better graphics, so companies make them purdier. And as the company gets to understand the console better too. (Look at the difference between FF9 and FF7)
2. Come again? One of the guys I talk to daily online lives in Sweden. It's a nice place to live. Lot's of hotties.
3. If you mean games at all, then no. But I have gone through phases where I don't want to play RPGs, or don't feel like finishing the ones I have. My rule is, if I haven't beaten it 2 months after I started playing, chances are I won't. My stack is... 7 games right now, I think.
4. Looking at how fast ROM sites are killed I think someone does care about them. And repeat after me kids, playing illegal ROMs is always bad. Mmkay. Don't try to rationlize it at all. It's wrong, get over it. You could play those games, it's called importing. And FYI I do play some fan translated games, but not for long. I can't stand playing console games on my computer for some reason. I'm just a freak, I guess.

ASV postulates:
1. Graphics are important, but they can be taken too far. A good example of that syndrome would be Legend of Dragoon. Very pretty, but not that great all around.
2. Plenty of people live in Sweden! Like... The Swedish bikini team, for example.
3. Not wanting to play videogames is a sign of insanity, I'm fairly sure. On the plus side, it means that you were normal before. Seriously, though... I've been playing games since I was too early to know what I was doing. If I ever got the urge to quit playing them, I'd know something was seriously wrong with me.
4. Well... Emulation is a mixed bag. Although I'd like to say that I endorse it, I simply don't. I can either import or wait for anything I might feel compelled to play on an emulator, so that should answer that question.

Castomel ponders:
I've soured considerably on Lunar games over the past couple of years, but I didn't mind it at the time. Unfortunately, it was entirely too long, and I didn't find the plot particularly engaging (read: I don't remember a single thing that happened after the first hour of the game).
1. If there's nobody else in the room, cry. Then microwave the CD and take monastic vows.
2. No thanks. I really don't like any of them all that much.

ASV percolates:
I really don't have much of an opinion since I haven't played the PSX version. Lunar 2 for the SegaCD is almost better than Silver Star, though, in my opinion.
1. I assume you're referring to the Working Designs remake? In that case, I can't help you. Haven't played Lunar 2 on the PSX yet.
2. Luna's the only character I've had much contact with in the PSX remake of the game. From the SegaCD titles, I'd probably go with Luna again, though. Call me strange.

TRC squabbles:
1. Though I am neither furry, nor a reviewer I can help. Doubtful, since most Disney animation (well the kind most associated with Disney) is Cel shaded, so it is doubtful.
2. I wish. I love that show. Doubtful though, since most of the characters shown so far have been from the movies. I want to see some Dark Wing Duck darn it.
3. Confuscious says: "If there is money to be made, Disney shall market test it" You know Disney would make hardcore porn if they could still get away with kid's animation. Wait. They own Miramax. Nevermind.
4. O god, the humanity, the humanity. ~wipes mind of that image~ I'd kill to make sure that doesn't happen. I might kill just for being suggested that.

Castomel salivates:
1. That'd be a logical conclusion to draw, but actually, there hasn't been any official word on this yet.
2. <shudder> Disney.. Franchise.. Do they really need money so badly that they have to churn out craptacular sequels to Peter Pan and Cinderella? The originals have class, but these new ones look like those old ripoff videos you always see in Wal-Mart. Anyhow, in response to your question, no, there hasn't been any indication of Gargoyles being included, and the game's release date is fast approaching, so the likelihood of more characters getting in is shrinking with each passing day.
3. *sings* M-O-O-G-L-E...H-A-T-S... nah, it just doesn't have a good ring to it.
4. Me. I have no desire to see Goofy look like an anorexic poodle.
