Cliches or tropes? Don't even get me started on tropes. (As much as I hate that website, I've read enough of it to realize that I quite like Magnificent Bastards, Xanatos Gambits (and all variations thereof, including Thirty Xanatos Pileup, and a bunch of their other buzzwords not worth mentioning.)

Anyway, this troper- ugh.

Oh God. At least you had the decency not to drop a link. It seems every time I click a link to TVTropes I end up reading it for about two hours.

WHY do you think I HATE it so much?

Oh, and I...try...to like the amnesia angle. I really try.

I've got two words for you... (IG1 spoiler)


ARMAND CARTER

(... although I suppose the Celestials would count too since they never really mention their past lives.)


That's EXACTLY why I try to like it.

I honestly don't remember anything Sephiroth did besides kill that girl. But that probably says more about me than it does the game.

How can you not remember Sephiroth trying to make Cloud think he never existed.
Or something like that.

Selective memory? It's been about 6 or 7 years.

It was my favorite game back in the day until I played Persona 2, though.
I find that a scene involving a limited number of rooms in an inn is always good for a few laughs.

...Well, I can only think of two games that did that, but there must be more.

F-G: Wut


Also, We (royal) need more princess-saving games. kentona, I dare you to make an old-school princess-saving game in two three-hour game-making sessions! Go!
Will do! When is the next 3-hour?
I am totally up for a three hour save-the-princess theme game contest.
I like redundant enemies such as dragons

Summary of thread:

I hate cliches, except for all of them.
I like the cliche male main character.

Not that there is anything wrong with a female
main character. Just that i can relate to a
male main character more than a female, since
i'm a guy......

I love the cliche female main character. Not that I can relate to them, but In every game I'd just rather whoop ass as a female. It just looks so much better for some reason. ::)
I like the legend of zelda which is a cliche every game.
However I think nintendo needs to do something new with the game.

Even if they don't do anything new with the game, people will still buy it (Including me).

I wouldn't want them to change it. Probably wouldn't buy it if they did.

I just did not like Twight Lite Princess the game was very closed up. The wolf thing was gay. So what I ment was I hope they do something more along the lines of Orcaria of Time.

Closed up?
Hyrule Field was HUGE! And the Wolf thing was a nice addition imo.

The game only let you in to new areas 1 little area at a time. That is what I ment by closed up. As for the wolf thing its a matter of taste and I don't wolf transformations in my zelda.
I like the "ancient technological advanced extinct civilization" cliche since it gives reason to place lots nof mechinery oriented dungeons. Yet I like it when current technology is at least steam/gunpowder or that at least some characters actually use that ancient technology.

Magic = technology cliche is also good, in which tech is powered by magic, mages are actually scientists and all that stuff. FFVI, Xenogears...

The traitorous chacellour. Seriously, it is funny.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke

Yep, I like this too. :P

I'm also quite a fan of the Magnificent Bastard trope. Especially if the hero (or antihero) and villain can interchange it well...
