Re: Pokémon Anime General Chat - Talk about anything!
Now that I think of it, this is the same game where the Emperor strikes a deal with the devil - literally - and then, when the heroic orphans kill him, he is sent to Hell, kills Satan, and takes over. But a main character dies from a boulder running over them. It's almost funny.
Maybe I should follow some LPs. It might help give more perspective on things I haven't thought of in the games before. At the very least, a good one might provide a healthy bit of humor in contrast to the unwanted drama in my life.
Oh man, the boulder. The boulder death seemed reeeeeally forced, like "oh man, we gotta kill off Josef so his little Nelly remains horribly depressed for the remainder of the game for no apparent reason and never really recovers from it until the very end so there's lost character development there" but the best they could come up with was the old booby-trapped boulder chase scene. Where was I, the Temple of Doom? They were all really odd "sacrificing myself to save the heroic orphans" deaths. I liked Minwu, though... I was pretty sad when he died unsealing the Ultima tome.I read about that! It was amusing because I remember the majority of the character deaths being totally spontaneous. And since I've been following Mega64's LP of FFIV where he's at the part where a ton of party members die/presumably die but not really/become incapacitated indefinitely, I'm almost seeing parallels between II and IV with the shameless slaughter of main characters... the difference being that only one of the FFIV PCs actually died, and somehow Yang and Cid were badass enough to survive BEING EXPLODED whereas I recall literally one of the FFII PCs being killed by a boulder.
Hah.
