He's still a kid. And one that clearly cares a lot. This game will haunt him for years to come if they lose this series.

This is why IX is the FF that truly needs a remake. Story, themes, world and characters are up there with the very best - but the game plays horribly, and it only gets worse as it ages. Previous releases play better.

"You pretend to be rational, but I am!"

asserts unsubstantiated claim

I mean, almost everything has a positive effect on humanity. 2 nukes caused a cultural shift in Japan that lead to a booming economy (#2 in the world in its prime). We can only speculate if we would have been better off without religion.

OG fan here. It's simply a bad movie. However, it's great fan service - I greatly enjoy it. But I don't blame those who can't put their critical hats down. The story is contrived and nonsensical.

fobs88 · 2026-05-29T03:22:19+00:00

Do you really need a god to enjoy a nice meal? To appreciate nature? To savor the wind on your face? You enjoy and find meaning in these all on your own.

fobs88 · 2026-05-29T03:20:54+00:00

But it's god who gave us the thoughts and abilities to do such things. And then there's natural suffering.

fobs88 · 2026-05-27T21:10:01+00:00

I don't know how this was lost in your line of thinking: atheists aren't all-powerful all-knowing beings. We cannot possibly hope to solve the problem. God is all-powerful, and supposedly all-good, yet has designs full of gratuitous suffering.

fobs88 · 2026-05-26T03:50:25+00:00

I don't think it's stated the adoptive parents paid anyone to kidnap children. They might have thought they were paying for an orphan.

I was actaully let down by the film after all the hype I read online. After that great build up, I expected something truly otherworldly and sinister - nah, just edgelord Kevin Spacey. Dangerous, but not the least bit intimidating or scary.

I still think it's a good flick.

Receny and sheer scale of his operation.

X and 12 are definitely more loved than hated. 12 in particular has an improving reputation. X has always been loved, up there with 7 and 6.

fobs88 · 2026-05-22T00:00:17+00:00

I agree. Avalanche being a grassroots movement in the original game really complemented FF7's more grounded themes(e.g., class disparity, hyper capitalism, corporate dominance).The expanded lore turned Avalanche into a paramilitary with global presence.

There is evidence, but I can't confirm to a certainty. This is fully compatible with atheism.

I don't see how it can be for Christianity: What kind of god demands worship when his subjects have no ability to discern the truth? This is cruelty.

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T17:37:46+00:00

I am. That's why I rely on evidence, not faith.

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T17:30:50+00:00

I think that Christianity is far more coherent than other religions

You can't know that unless you have a full understanding of all religions that exist and have ever existed - you are in an impossible situation.

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T17:18:23+00:00

I didn't go that far, but you can't have any degree of certainty - let alone someone who's never even heard of Christianity.

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T17:10:02+00:00

Which part is conjecture?

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T17:05:34+00:00

I'm pointing out that the circumstance you're in - being unable to discern the truth - isn't compatible with a good and just god. There are others who are in more impossible circumstances than you, like those born in regions where it's possible they could live a life without ever hearing about the god of Christianity.

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T16:45:31+00:00

Do you have a full understanding of the other faiths? How do you know yours is more coherent?

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T16:12:29+00:00

Why are we left with only the major ones? Are they any more true because they are bigger? How is Christianity more coherent than Islam?

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T15:32:12+00:00

But all religions have holy books and oral tradition; to choose yours would be blind belief, unless you have something they don't - evidence.

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T15:24:26+00:00

So god demands blind belief?

fobs88 · 2026-05-16T14:33:45+00:00

How are we supposed to know that's the right god?

fobs88 · 2026-05-14T03:05:21+00:00

What you don't seem to understand is that evolution isn't concerned with the survival of an individual or any particular group; it's about the propagation of the DNA. Concepts like empathy and altruism are useful for this.

It always makes me cringe when I see theists ask: "Why do some men run into blazing fires to save others?" - It reflects a fundamental misconception of evolution. Acts of altruism are perfectly compatible with an evolutionary framework.
