Rant On Unrealistic Things In RPGs
By Dark Knight
Here are some totally unrealistic things in RPGs:
-
Sometimes there may only be a house or two in the town and then fiifty
people walking the streets. (think: most FF games)
-
And how shopkeepers have an infinite amount of items... (think: any FF game)
-
How about the
fact that the character can carry what would easily be a hundred tons of
equipment?? (think: any FF game) Without even a backpack!?!? (think:
any FF game)
-
Or maybe how a character can survive a thousand sword
blows and a few potions will cure him/her up, while when it comes time
for a character to die a single slice will take them down? (think:
FF7)
-
And what about those hairdoes?? It takes me hours to get it just
right; just like Cloud!! How can they hop out of bed in the morning and
have that same hairdo?? (think: Cloud; FF7 )
-
And they wear the same
clothes everyday... without any stains or rips!?!? (ugh.... think: ANY
RPG)
-
And how can weapons like Sephiroth's and Cloud's swords be
carried? By people like that!? I mean, they're fit, but not THAT
strong!!!! (think: FF7) And what about LeonHeart's gunblade (think:
FF8; in the making)
-
And they never wear deoderant.... and no one is
offended by the smell??? (ugh; think: FF7)
-
Characters, when pushed to
the limit, can perform flashy, obscenely powerful, difficult menuevers
when they have just been beat up?? Shouldn't they be MORE tired!?!?
(think: FF7)
-
Usually no one has a mouth or nose. (think: FF7)
-
The
boldness and heroism of the main characters. They can get punched,
kicked, ripped to pieces, set on fire, hit by meteors, lose their woman
and STILL come back for more!!! (think: FF7)
...and that would conclude my ripping session on FF7.
