"Strange Things In Games"

We've probably all seen it while playing our games, something happens that just doesn't make any sense when you compare what's happened in the game to what would happen if it was for real. Whether it just be an oversight while telling the story

(eg, in Final Fantasy 7 while in Shinra mansion and searching for the safe combination for the last clue Cloud says something is written in invisible ink, then proceeds to read it without any lasers or anything. That's quite some eye sight he's got)

or because of the technological limitations the system has which the game is being played on.

(eg, Why exactly is it in Resident Evil a rocket launcher blast to a wooden door doesn't budge it a single inch yet if you put 2 medals in a statue it slides right open?)


So let's see how many strange things, that don't make any sense, we can come up with that happen in our games.

I'll add another one to get the topic going again from FF7

After Cloud falls off the Sector 7 reactor and plummets a good height down exactly how does falling through a church and onto a bed of flowers stop him from at least breaking some bones? Those are some pretty damn strong flowers i have to say

If she used the Final aeon, she would kill sin and prevent him from coming back only for ten years, these ten years are called the calm, and Yu Yevon would be still alive besides she and one of her guardians would be dead, like what happened to Lord Braska and Jecht. And after ten years another summoner and another guardian would have to reapeat it again, but what they did was that they defeated sin themselves in order to reamin alive and then use then use the aeons so that they would be possesed by Yu Yevon so when you kept killing them one by one you made Yu Yevon weaker until he became very weak and then you killed him, so sin wouldn't return after ten years.

Yeah you're probably right there, Cusack.

He's hardcore.
End.

Is there a disease called Anti-Tourette's?

Becuz the people in Resident Evil 1 had it.

Geez it's a bit of fun, not something to over analyze. I was just trying to make a topic that wasn't another bloody *I need help on...* thing

Don't forget, this is a game where "potions" restore health.

Oh yeah, and there's magic, which is a bit more of a realism problem than bones.

Because she doesn't want to die.
And all her guardians don't want her to die.

It's the idea of self-sacrifice FFX tries to address.

sorry i mean yuna...
