I think women should be included in the draft. Equal rights = equal responsibilities.
On the topic of physical strength, being drafted doesn't necessarily mean being put in ground combat. They could be pilots, reconnaissance, etc. as well as ground combat.
[quote]Why does FF have to have turn base combat?, why?
Turn based combat is so artificial, I'm really getting tired of it now. I want J/RPGs I play to have realtime combat but only aspects of what we see in turn based combat.[/quote]
I HATE real-time combat, the only exception to this being Odin Sphere. I have a hard time even swallowing the ATB system. I like turn-based because it allows me to plan out my strategies. And turn-based can have a ton of tweaks to them to make them unique, a la Personas 3 & 4, which pretty much differ in every way, shape, and form from normal JRPGs to begin with.
I just find real-time to be boring. :/ If I want to mash buttons to kill things, I'll go boot up Castlevania on my DS. On the other hand, if I want to come up with a strategy and use it on a boss and see what happens, I'll gladly go boot up Persona 4 and play it for several hours with a huge smile on my face.
Also, I think one of the main reasons why Japanese developers try to play it safe is because they're especially wary. I mean, think about it, Clover Studios did something different with Okami, and what happened to them? Oh, yeah, they got SHUT DOWN. It's even like that in the American industry - games like Psychonauts flopped, while reused, tired tripe like Halo 3 sold millions.
They need to kill it off NOW, before it gets even worse and people forget that the show was actually good at one point.
Heroes in its first season was completely and utterly awesome. There wasn't a single episode I didn't like, and the Odin Sphere-esque way how all of the threads of the different characters came together for one huge finale was freaking epic.
The second season was "meh", but that was in part due to the writer's strike, and also in part because Adam doesn't make nearly as good of a villain as Sylar does. Oh, and the Deus Ex Machina in disguise known as Claire's blood, but that wasn't too bad till really late in the season, when it was obvious that the writers were pressed for time and desperately needed something to save their asses. And that stupid flying boy who obviously took acting lessons from Keanu Reeves whose name I can't remember.
Now that I think about it, season 2 had a lot of bizarre flaws compared to the first one...
Yes, all three of them as a matter of fact, with Prime 1 in Hard Mode with 97% items (could never find those last few I've needed after all of these years...) and 100% scans, Prime 2 in Hard Mode with 100% items (all item locations memorized) and 100% scans, and Prime 3 in Veteran with 100% items and over 80% scans.
I've beaten Prime 3 twice, but I've lost count of how many times I've beaten Primes 1 & 2.
