      The Operative was such a great villain.

        At least until he got a face full of Reaver.

          Hehe, I think he was still a pretty great character, though great villain was iffy at the point his fleet got sliced in half. He was definitely one of the most self aware villains I have seen though and that is worth a lot in my eyes.

      Useless… Soon, there won’t be remaining ground at all, only some gravityless void.

    The final boss always has the world-destroying cut-scene spell that it casts five times before you beat the game.

      World-destroying cut-scene spells aren’t limited to the final boss.
      Way back when I was playing Final Fantasy VII, there was a summon, “Knights of the Round.”
      I had it linked with “Absorb HP,” and I ALSO had a “Master Summon” materia linked with “Absorb MP.”
      So every time I cast it, after about 90 seconds of animation, it would give my character 9,999 HP and 999 MP.
      And then my other two party members would use “Mimic,” to copy the ability. Four and a half minutes per round of combat, but soooooo powerful.

        I never had the patience to build up that amount of power. Still managed to somehow beat both Emerald and Ruby–it took me literally as long EXTRA as it took me to beat the main storyline. Let’s not even get into the amount of side questing it takes to even GET KOR, much less level it up…

          It wasn’t THAT hard. Just a whole bunch of chocobo types that you have no idea how to collect without a guide, lots of RNG breeding, maybe make the RNG easier by repeatedly traveling halfway around the world and paying a bogus currency to repeatedly play a minigame with a mechanic that is completely alien to the entirety of the game playstyle up until that point save that one time an entire disk before where they forced you to play it once (well, three times, once because you lost and once more because you missed Ramuh) before finally getting that one chocobo that you’ll only ever need for the one thing EVER.

        Well, yeah, but that summon DIDN’T DESTROY THE WORLD.

        For comparison, consider Sephiroth’s spell that destroyed the ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM. That he was somehow able to cast multiple times.

          Easy: it destroyed a different solar system every time.

    Maybe they should convince HR to return to Earth and smite all those who opposed him there first. I’m sure he has a lot more personal scores to settle there. It could buy the adventurers some time at least.

      H.R. did,’t chose them without reason. No one have a double in all of the existing universes, beside the five ones. This is what the winter elves oracle explained and, apparently, H.R. already knew it when he chose them.

        To be fair, no-one had a watch, and Frieza apparently doesn’t know what a minute is, so…

    And totally off the point, Electronic Arts came in at number five on USA Today’s 20 most hated companies in America beating such unpopular companies like Monsanto, Sprint, and even Trump Organization.

            dunno if its prideful thing for NFL that they are more hated than EA and Trump organisation (which btw is on 12th spot):)

    So that’s what all this is about? Damn it, HR! Why couldn’t you have the decency of having a midlife crisis like everyone else’s? Ride a fast car, drink, have a few affairs!

    But no… You had to go the angsty Ubersmench, God wannabe route.

    They’re already using their “Cannot doesn’t apply” powers to have flying rocket packs of infinite fuel, like action heroes in movies used to have guns of infinite ammunition. If the other 4 can improvise ways to manifest their wills like Frigg, they have a better chance of winning this fight. HR also has to lose in Sepia World at the same time, so it’s a bit like the climax of Return of the Jedi -without Ewoks. Too bad the tank’s atomic cannon is broken…

      With a temper tantrum like that, it would have been more fitting for HR to manifest diapers instead of pants.

      Apparently, he is seen as a boss but he want to be seen like he see himself, as a game master

        That’s just it, why would a Game master say “This World Means Nothing” when it has to mean something to the game master- otherwise why start the game at all? You can’t say “The World Means Nothing” and then do something involving the world it makes no damn sense and *Proceeds to scream into a pillow*

        Sorry it’s just I’m not fond of using Nihilism to justify actions. the more I think about it the less it makes sense to me, and it offends my Storytelling instincts.- it feels like “I’ll do evil things because I am EVIL” sort of cliche nonsense.

          HR is going to have to settle a *lot* of customer complaints (probably costing a lot of money) if he crashes *all* of the game servers…
