You may call me insane bcause of i believing conspiracies

I'm a bit surprised how many people spend a lot of time with a game or even play it to completion when they don't like it, often for completion's sake. If you think a game is boring after a certain amount of time with it and there is no sign of any change, why continue with it? I can kind of see this when you're young and you spend a lot of your cash on a game, but other than that, why not see your investment in the game as a sunk cost and move on to enjoy your life?

I find it's easiest to think of main-line Final Fantasy games sort of like family members - they all adhere to certain archetypes;

FF6: The family patriarch. His portrait hangs in the front hall of the family mansion. People respect him because he was the first to make the family business really successful and because dammit, back in his day people took the time to do things right the first time. If he were still alive, he could probably do a better job running the company than his kids.

FF7: The son who took over the family business after his dad died and made the company even more successful. Still, behind his back people say he isn't that great and wouldn't have amounted to anything if it weren't for the old man. He also refuses to modernize himself, which leads to people saying he's out of touch.

FF8: The goth kid who constantly talks about death and the futility of life. When people come over, he hides in his room and plays music really loud because NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HIM!!!

FF9: The middle-child. Passably smart, reasonably successful and in a stable marriage with two kids. Most people like him, even if they forget about him pretty quickly. Has a lot of good ideas, but gets ignored because he's too quiet and the rest of his family is bat-shit insane.

FF10: The once-attractive blonde who runs the company with her brother FF7. She's vain and starting to show her age, so she recently had a lot of plastic surgery. Gets by on personality, but is actually kind of shallow. Insists that it is she, not her brother, who is most responsible for the company's success.

FF10-2: The crazy aunt, sister to FF10. She's fairly ditzy and doesn't care so much about her appearance. Also may randomly take her clothes off. Although no one admits to liking her more than her sister, they secretly think she's more fun at parties.

FF12: The smart child who refused to join the family business and got a Master's degree in International Relations instead. Really smart, but bores people at family gatherings discussing dependency theory and extolling the virtues of Marxism.

Everyone tries to ignore FF13. She's adopted.

And why do people keep saying that batman combat is copied so much? Besides batman, it seems the only other franchises to tackle it are Mordor and Sleepy Dawgz.
