Let's keep it short and brutal. For those just joining us, now would be a good time to check out yesterday's column, which is linked to in the blue panel to the right. Basically, I was sent a batch of one hundred letters by Jonathan Weng and I, being the idiot that I am, accepted the challenge to answer every single one of 'em as part of the Double Agent column, stretching over the course of this weekend. The first fifty questions and answers were posted last night, and the second fifty are right before your eyes. Got it? Good. So let's have at it!
Mr. Domino. Nothing can resist Mr. Domino...
His mother feeds the cat. Duh.
For shooting down fat pigeons.
They eat hearty, down beneath the surface. You have to, if you drink lava to wash it down.
Currents in the FF worlds run in radically different ways than they do on Earth. The area where the ship went down was a "current nexus", where several currents run out from. Each member of the party got caught in a different current, and was swept away in a different direction from the nexus point. There are several current nexii on the FF4 world, and it was just happy coincidence that the ship sank at one of them.
She could, but had lost the right to do so in an unseen game of strip poker with Valvalis. After Valvalis died, the fact that Rosa had lost the bet became moot, and she got them out of there right quick.
Just to annoy you.
It's all the same town, of course. It's simply that the tile-based engine didn't quite like the idea of creating a several-square town area, wrapped around the castle sprite, so they symbolized the area by having individual "town" squares".
Watch Jaws for the answer to the first question. To run from it, you take a long, blunt pole, push the blasted thing off, then row as fast as you can.
He is overcome with jealousy over the size of your... sword, and can't bring himself to fight you any longer.
He's a crack dealer.
Sephiroth lathered the blade with Aeris-Off before he made his big entrance. Kills good-natured half-Ancient Ones dead.
He doesn't throw the bomb. He holds it the entire time he's falling, and has to trigger it manually to ensure that it goes off at the proper time.
Because it's made of elastic. Big, flaming, resilient elastic.
Because items in your inventory aren't in your dimension. The inventory screen is a representation of the storage inside a magic box that all FF characters carry with them, a magic box that connects to an alternate, storage dimension.
It breaks. So you throw it away.
Sometimes they're diseased, or the way you kiled them has otherwise made the meat inedible. Games don't have much time for allowing you access to damaged goods. When you're trying to save the world, you don't carry around knickknacks.
I will never understand this. Ever. It's a stupid, illogical conceit of the game that I won't even try and justify with a bullshit answer. It's just stupid. Gah.
Animals, unlike townspeople, understand the importance of your quests to save the world, and go to great lengths to make sure you are provided for appropriately, so you can succeed in your task. Therefore, they sneak into shops at night, stealing money and items, so that when they are slain by the righteous heroes, they will be giving not just their life for a good cause, but also a monetary contribution.
See the above answer about the Inventory Dimension. It is a large, but strange dimension, that can only allow the existence of 99 items of any one kind, but these items can be of any size, shape, or weight.
Because that's the style of FF7: polygon characters overlaid on 2D backgrounds. Switching that style in mid-game doesn't make a great deal of sense, to be honest.
It's called meat, but it's actually chewy and nutricious bone marrow.
The light of your glowing personality shines bright enough to illuminate it all.
No.
They feel that technology is dangerous and corrupt, slowly making them complacent and weak, like Communists and other thugs. Consequently, they will usually choose to live in a simpler way, with fewer attachments to the material world, and more emphasis given to personal strength and skill. This is the only path to inner peace. |
