Since no one can ascertain if aliens even exist and it's all hypothetical etc, we can't possibly know what aliens look like...so this isn't really qualified to be here so to let the issue continue I'm going to move it to Spam Zone. You aren't dumb, jojo, but the topic just doesn't go here. Feel free to discuss it where I move it to. :)
Ah yeah, the helmet. Must protect what brains I have left.
It should stay in Spam Zone as in Help With Life people post their issues in threads and we respond if we want to and don't open up separate threads for it. So it's fine here.
Hooray! Pika gets to shoot me! *goes now to purchase a kevlar vest.*
This thread is from February, guys so the question has been answered some time ago. There's also the Jiminy Journal if anyone is having trouble with the Cup matches. I'm going to go ahead and get this closed now but if there are any questions, feel free to PM me.
This is kind of getting spammy guys, so I'll leave it open another day but if more spam shows up I'll have to close it. I won't move it to Spam Zone so people won't lose post count but if the topic is dead, it's dead.
Basically, Sephiroth is not considered a Nobody and since he's a boss that is voluntary to face, he's considered 'outside' the game. What he does is just extra stuff that isn't pertinent to anything in either game but to receive some perks and go beat on a hidden boss. All of the FF characters are basically cameos, which means that they fill roles but aren't that 'critical' to the story. You could pop another character in that one's place and it wouldn't matter except the fans of FF wouldn't see Cloud or Leon or Yuffie etc say them. Nomura never said Sephiroth is weaker or stronger than Xemnas, but the point was that he did say that he and the other FF characters were cameos so really he'd never be in the KH storyline as something absolutely necessary to contend with.
I'm going to close this as it is going off topic and there's no need to have an argument over Sakura because she really isn't an issue here. Also it's turned into another duplicate thread of 'do you hate Kairi' so the conversation can carry on over there. If you have any questions or complaints about it being closed, feel free to PM me.
I could see why Riku giving Kairi a Keyblade would be something that people get upset about...but Riku not earning one? He was the original Keyblade wielder intended and never stopped being one. His powers were changed by Maleficent etc and he was altered by the Rikunort events but he never stopped having the potential to be a Keyblade wielder even though he lost the Kingdom Key. He could never have survived what he did if he didn't have a special will and strength of heart. As for Kairi, there's nothing saying she got a 'real' Keyblade and if it is a 'real' one, what the deal is behind it. People still debate whether it's a pseudo creation like the Dark Keyblade or not, since Riku may have known how to make pseudo temp Keyblades from his time merged with Xehanort's Heartless. I do have a glimmer of hope that he'll develop Kairi more and have her actually work out away from her role of Mary Sue. You don't have to be the greatest physical fighter to not be a Mary Sue. I would hope they just show her being more human with flaws and goof ups as well as strengths. We've seen her get 'stronger'...though that balcony leap offends me much more than Riku giving Kairi a Keyblade...in determination to say she's going whether Sora wants it or not and also prowess, but at the same time, it was only at the end. At least Nomura didn't have her doing reaction commands and flipping through the air etc doing abilities that consisted of more than prancing and bonking Shadows on the head. In the end, some men just think women are a foreign species to them (and vice versa) so they won't get the portrayal of women done right until they stop doing that and think of a character as a 'person' first. It's the sad truth. I'm starting to think that's pretty much how Nomura can be. You'd never see a boy/man acting like Kairi or Namine..that's for sure because every guy around would just be like...'wtf' and we'd probably walk away from the game. The only girl he's ever designed and been in charge of (since probably FF VI doesn't count) is Tifa and to make up for the fact she's awesome otherwise, he gave her huge knockers that would knock any girl out who was half that active. So the irony is amusing and we can have -hope- for Kairi but only for this reason. He's been seeing that girls play more and obviously has to work on Lightning as a main character so she -can't- be a mary sue. Maybe he'll see what it's like and Kairi's character will also get a face lift. As others have said, the Disney Princesses aren't the problem here. They had tudes of their own etc.
I read it and so far it's pretty funny and yet kind of serious at the same time. I love how the Repliku in the story says out loud... 'OMFG' and 'lol' etc.
lol, that was hilarious. And cupcake, yay for having your name back to normal! Hooray!
I so agree. At least Kairi fit her role to a good degree by being a little Princess of Heart and being 'innocent' etc. It gave her no personality, sure, but at least we all knew what she was meant to be. I think the point here though is the hopes that Nomura will cast females better so they aren't always in the role Kairi filled...at least though we knew what that role was supposed to be without conflict..even if it makes some of us twitch.
OOC: You cracked me up, Pika. Unfortunately, Sora isn't going to get this stuff. lol. He has to have his 'blond' moments...even if Roxas is the blond. IC: "Um..Auron was brought there by Hades because he was supposed to fight Hercules. He didn't want to but later he was used by Hades under his control by this doll thing we destroyed to fee him. ..There though when we met him, Hades was fighting him and basically wiping the floor with him because Auron was refusing to cooperate with his orders." "I only remember him being attacked where I said he was, at the entrance to the Underworld by Demyx. Hercules is the one who went to go get the stone but found it was gone. We were training with Phil then while he was gone." "I don't recall him being attacked more than once...just there. As I said, he was chasing him to get his attention to see if he'd be a hero to replace Hercules so Herc could have a break but Demyx turned on him and attacked him, basically probably conking him on the head to make him lose consciousness. I don't think it was really more severe than that because Phil seemed dizzy and was waking up but other than that he didn't really show he was injured more." Sora scratched his head in thought. "It was like he was being sarcastic about it and kind of like he felt it was rather stupid he was assigned the task of beating me up to get Roxas to come out." He was thoughful for a moment. "I had to fight them and couldn't really leave. If I didn't attack them in a certain time they would have knocked me unconscious or something. I wasn't able to run off because of the battle being the way it was and they wouldn't have let me get away." "I guess so. I didn't really have Roxas's memories though so at the time this was very confusing. He wasn't the only one though to say Roxas's name when referring to me so it could be he and also Xigbar and others weren't sure how things worked when a Nobody rejoins with the Somebody. It's why I wouldn't say he was trying to really 'kill' me there because even the card said to just beat me up." Jiminy hides out and is safe unless say I probably lost." "The Dancers did attack after we had fought the Heartless and Dusks...I am not sure what Demyx's orders were and it seemed to me they might attack anyone that went down there as the Nobodies weren't too picky in what they were attacking. I don't know if he singled me out to have them attack 'me' or not." "When I drew my weapon, yes, it was because he attacked me before when I was confused and trying to talk to him and this time I didn't want to play games. His changing kind of emotional reactions were just irregular and my friends and I were tired of the Organization messing with us, including Demyx. He could have ran off when we drew them but instead turned and took a couple steps, as if he was, then stopped and hunched over and said that the Org sent the wrong guy again. I wouldn't have attacked him if he ran away but when we said the Nobodies had no Hearts and stuff, he acted mad and yes, when he said 'Silence traitor' I knew he was going to fight because he armed himself, called on his water power and even did this showy stance thing. That's when we fought." "I am not sure. He seemed pretty mad for a Nobody. Maybe I could have tried to run or something, but at that point I really did not want to. I was tired of being tricked and used and if he wanted a fight, I was going to give it to him. Maybe he figured the same of me. I didn't understand him and I have no idea if he understood me either but at the time, I didn't care to just walk away." "He did try to kill me the second time but I don't believe so the first time. And the second time, we both were fighting willingly. It wasn't the same as the first time where he rather forced me to fight. " Sora listened to what Pika said and gave a nod confirming he understood what Pika was saying. He guessed though this is why he'd never make a good lawyer. He'd just want to have the truth as best he could and things to be better than they were before because in his head that's how the world worked.
I would have loved that. >.< Then again, I never claimed to be a normal kid.
Welcome to the General Discussion area. We hope you enjoy chatting here but of course there are a few rules to know before getting started. We'll keep it brief! This area was formerly known as 'Anything Else'. The same rules from before apply now but this is a cleaned up and shortened version. 1. At least six words per post. Shorter posts will be deleted. 2. No spam permitted. * Spam posts under topics that are not considered spam will be deleted. * If the first post of the topic is spam, it will be moved to the Spam Zone with a link that will last for one day as the poster may not have realized it was considered Spam Zone worthy. Repeating the habit however will result in posts being deleted and a warning. 3. Stay on the topic. If you notice your post is going severely off topic, consider making a new thread for the new issue. 4. Search for the topic before you post * Use the search function or check at least the first and second page for like topics to what you want to bring up. If there is a topic related to a new thread that already exists, the new thread will be closed. Posts to it -may- or may not be merged to the older thread. 5. The difference between Spam and General Discussion Make intelligent posts with some thought to them. You don't have to be the greatest speller or be perfect at grammar but no text talk here unless it is pertinent to the conversation. Save that for the Spam Zone. :) General Discussion Question: What do you think of Chuck Norris. I think he's cool but was curious about what others thought. Spam Question: Chuck Norris kix @ss, Right?! General Discussion Response: Chuck Norris is pretty cool. I admire him because he's a great martial artist and also a decent person. Spam Response: ”Hai peepz, i leik chuck norries becauze he pwns 6. General Rules for the forums will be followed here. *No obvious spam topics to earn cheap posts. No topics against the general rules of the board. 7.In forum events/holidays Please, there is no need for 5 topics about Christmas or thanksgiving etc, etc. One is enough. 8. Ensure the post goes here. Some new sections have opened up and you may want to check around the Forums before just posting a topic here to see if it might get better feedback elsewhere. 9. Post Your Picture Here Area This thread is open so that any members who want to share some pictures of themselves can do so. However, this is NOT a spam section. If spam is found, it will be deleted, no questions asked, and repeat offenders who spam often will receive warnings because otherwise the only solution to resolving the issue is to move the thread to the Spam Zone. * This would upset members greatly to have done because quite a few of us -do- follow the rules regarding keeping spam out and I do, as well as many others, feel that contributors to the area should receive points for posts. So consider whose rights you take away if we have to move the thread because we can't police it all of the time deleting 20 some posts. Please make sure this thread is read because I know many of you enjoy the picture area being here and the staff and I personally want to see it remain here. Pass this news around amongst each other if you have to. Just let's keep that area nice and free of spam, because that only goes good with eggs or belongs in the Spam Zone. RvR note: The purpose of the Anything Else section is to discuss topics that have a meaningful subject that will not cause spam in any way. Also, the subject must not fit into another section of the forum. If you decide to create a thread here, you have fully understood the purpose of this section and realized it is not a place for spam or pointless topics. Please keep this in mind and there will be no further conflicts as a result. All the Best - KHV Staff
Cin, just about every girl I know would take offense to some guy saying the word hoe in reference to a girl. Some don't mind it in 'joking' but really, the way he said it so factual, it was biased. Adding in the 'nappy' hair thing made it just more offensive. Without the 'hoe' thing, no one probably would have thought it so racist. As for this remark, I'm not really sure yet if it was taken out of context as you are saying here or not, Advent. The guy has a history so I would -hope- he had learned to not be such a moron, but some people like him are the sort to just spit out whatever and regret words later. I will have to see the whole thing to know whether it was 'taken out of context' or not and will just withhold judgment for the time bieng. In the end though, the guy is just a putz and I don't really care what he says.
If we gave no vaccinations for small pox, probably the whole Native American line could have died out because of no exposure to a disease carried from overseas. The Black Plague became a serious problem in China and spread by the Mongols to the west with their raids etc. People died in droves and I would not say that they had 'immunities' to the Black Plague if they weren't effected by it, but rather that they were instead smart enough to get away from those who were contagious and also to keep away from rats with those lovely fleas that carried the plague. Considering only one person recorded actually got better from it...by medical attention and examination of the disease, trying to treat others etc...that should say something that the normal immune system was not enough. Also, polio and other things pass on, staph is immensely contagious and mutates etc. Even if we do get vaccinations to some things, certainly viruses mutate etc and are always making us face more threats. We always have something to fight including just dealing with colds and flus that can get rather serious. People who have had one flu...and it mutates...get the now mutated version as well. So I do see what is being said here that the changes aren't just 'automatic' because of shots and all, but at the same time, who's to say that we aren't promoting evolution by these immunities within time passing onto kids any way? And who's to say that people have to die for the immunity because mothers -do- pass on defenses to their babies, by genetics and also breast milk so these things have the chance of passing on. In the end, people would die by a mutated form of small pox regardless of vaccinations to small pox or by evolutionary natural selection because a mutated version is not the same thing anymore. It wouldn't be called 'small pox' anymore but would have to be recognized as a new strain and only a few might have a higher resistance to it than others whether by evolution or by people getting vaccines. I'd also like to know if these scientists who gave the mice who were given the treatments against the regular mousepox strain...if they also took mice that they did -not- immunize and gave them this variant of the small pox virus...if they came out alive or dead. This would say that -none- of the mice had anymore chance than the other group from a mutated version and make the point clear that everyone in the end would have the same chances of survival against a mutant strain that is no longer the same as the original.
It's true that it's all you get is to complete the Jiminy Journal but at the same time the fights are so easy as Sora it's pathetic.
As others have said, Roxas was the 13th member to join the Organization. All of the members were numbered according to when they joined so Xemnas was 1st, Xigbar became the 2nd member, etc. It is notable to mention that though the numbers were their order, it did not necessarily signify their positions in the Organization as we can see in CoM, Marluxia had been given the rights to watch over Castle Oblivion and those who attended there and he was just Organization member 11. Their chairs actually were used to identify their statuses in the Organization and if you had favor with Xemnas, your chair would rise, or it would fall if you fell out of favor with him.
The actual ages are KH and CoM: Sora 14 Kairi: 14 Riku: 15 KH2 is a year later and they are: Sora: 15 Kairi: 15 Riku: 16 Their ages were in the first guide book for KH and a year passed after KH. CoM took place I believe a few weeks after KH. So this would be their proper ages.
