Great review, I agreed with most of what you said. Especially what you said about how you end up practically forgetting that they're *almost* nude. Yeah, in the beginning it was VERY in your face and even a bit uncomfortable, but once I got further into the show I just stopped caring. Heck, their outfits ceased to even be "sexy" by the end, it was just what they wore. I also like how they incorporated a reason for the scanty clothing in the story. Some might say it was just used as an excuse, but I think it was an interesting idea. I also liked how they weren't shy with using males for fanservice as well, gave a nice sense of equality. I will say that I was a bit disappointed with the turn the story took right near the end (major spoilers inside) That said, it lead to some amazing action sequences and fight scenes, so I wasn't unhappy in the end.

Since we're on the subject, I've always had an incredibly hard time understanding what actually makes someone transgendered. (By the way, I should say that I don't mean to be disrespectful in anything that I'm about to say. If anything, I would love to have it explained to me so that I can dispel any false thoughts I have.) I don't understand how someone can be one gender biologically (genes and anatomy), and not identify as that gender at all. I just can't wrap my head around how you can know what gender you biologically are, yet say that you are not. I don't understand how that works. What causes someone to identify themselves as a different gender? Is it the societal view on gender, the generally expected stereotypes, personally traits, physical characteristics of male and female? If so, then I'm still not sure I understand. Perhaps its just the way that I personally think, but to me a person is a person. A guy can have a completely stereotypical female personality, a girl can have a completely stereotypical male personality, and either can have a combination of stereotypical personality traits from both genders. I don't see why that should make them renounce their biological gender. My other idea is that it's not so much society's view, rather its simply the way that they think. Like, a deep desire to be the opposite gender. If that's the case then I suppose I accept that I just can't ever really know what it's like. However, I don't understand how this explanation could lead to there being people who say that they are not either gender. Again, no disrespect meant at all, I truly just want to know what makes someone transgendered. The simple "he/she doesn't identify as a he/she" doesn't help me understand being transgender at all.

description Welp...

Well I'm not about to play the trailer with my parents around, so I don't know if she was featured, but the series does have one character (that I know of) that doesn't fit this description: Mirai (picture is SFW) http://tinyurl.com/oyvh3ke

The nostalgia I have for 358 is too strong, so that's my favorite. I know many probably won't agree with this, but it had my favorite story in the series. I loved the character interaction between the main trio as well, and I absolutely love the Clock Tower scenes (something that I've seen some complain about...). The game play isn't exactly the best, but it worked for me. I didn't enjoy the pacing of 3D's story, and the worlds felt horribly empty. It does have my favorite game play out of all of them. For BbS, each storyline just felt way too short. I didn't enjoy playing as Terra that much, but I did enjoy the game play overall. (Re:)CoM had a pretty good storyline, but I absolutely hated the exploration and battle systems. Re:coded had a great amount of game play variety and a great base battle system. The story, however, just wasn't that intriguing, and I didn't like entering those "bugged" levels (or whatever they were called) because they just got so boring. IMO 358>BbS>=3D>Re:coded>CoM

Let me be honest here, while reading that I could not tell if you were serious. After reading through it twice I'm still not sure if you're serious, but I tend to give members here the benefit of the doubt because pretty much everyone here is a decent person. So I believe you that this is happening. These girls are insane, sadistic, psychopaths. This is not flirting, even if in their deluded minds they think that's what they're doing. They are literally torturing you, which is illegal. I'm not going to mince words here, what these girls are doing is disturbing and completely against the law. If the parents in the house know what is happening, but act as if its just playing, they're also breaking the law. If your family doesn't believe you, go to the police. If your family DOES believe you, still go to the police. If at all possible, get proof of the abuse. If there's any markings on your body from where they hurt you, that will help. If you have anyone who can vouch for you and will do so, have them do it. Again, if there is any possible proof you can use, use it. You are in a dangerous situation and you need to escape.

Meaning of Birth is definitely my favorite, but since someone's already mentioned it, I suppose I'd have to say... Karma from Tales of the Abyss. Really, Abyss just had my favorite music from all the games I've played. I've heard Legendia's soundtrack is superb, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

I stand corrected, then. I hope to see some cool stuff come out of this.

I haven't seen anything about this during my usual lurking about on Siliconera and GameFAQs (usually I get news pretty fast between the two), so I'm leaning towards it not being true. I do agree that it's exciting, though. Personally, I would like some new stages as DLC.

My god how long has it been since I've seen Chronic Tumor around here. X_X same, I got way too excited when I saw his name in my notifications

Man, I was just thinking about the old layout yesterday. I really wanted to see it again. YOU READ MY FREAKING MIND. I'm feeling Nostalgic now. It's so weird, it feels like that time was so far away, yet so recent. Its been forever, but at the same time I find myself surprised to see people that weren't even here for it. Time really does fly...

Exactly this. I enjoyed Aqua far more than either Terra or Ven in BbS (and she's the only one I beat the secret bosses with). Roxas would be my second choice.

I'd say being a moderator sure looks swell.

Phantasia was the first one, but Destiny was pretty early on (might even be the second, but I'm not sure).

Surf the web... by which I mean cycle through the 3-4 sites I frequent until there's nothing left to do.

It's not even that the majority of the time I'm posting on the forum. Its that I almost never do anything else here. I glance at the news when I'm on the homepage before I click on the forums tag. I'll use the gallery if there's new wallpapers (so, basically when a new game launches), and I use to use it for the manga, but I purchase them for myself now. As to videos, I play most of the KH games, and don't really watch the cutscenes by themselves, so no need for videos. I don't remember how long its been since I've had the chat bar turned on. So, yup. I'm exclusively a forum user.

Like others have said, its the only KH site that I use, minus wiki's when I need synthesis/melding help. Back in my lurking days I did poke around on [site name redacted]. However, the community was pretty much crap, whereas this place was and remains awesome.

(Yup, I am). Yes, a healer would be helpful. Elize is my healer of choice, but maybe Leia would make it more balanced between magic and physical?

... I've only gotten like 7 missions into the first one... and I got it at launch... They seriously need to tone down the number of enemies, and how many units you can dispatch at once. At the point that I'm at the battles already take awhile, and I've heard it only gets worse. X_X If they improve upon the original considerably I might buy it... maybe.

No, I have a backlog, why am I replaying FE:Awakening? X_X

Lol, it's fine, I've been sick so I haven't really logged on since, until now. X_X And I didn't even notice Zola was Rowen. D: One more and we have a full party.

I love that Lucina poster! That's some cool stuff. I've only been to one smaller con at a local community college, but it was pretty cool. I can only imagine a big one is super fun.

Your avatar and my avatar are just so right together... ◕‿◕ (Don't mean to be creepy, just thought it was a funny coincidence.)

Nothing that bad has happened, but nothing especially good either. It's been adequate so far, I guess.
