A Civil Garden Party ~ 2k3 Discussion
author=KingArthurOriginal works are treated specially because they are special. They have intrinsic value by having a creative origin. Cultures that value creativity are more successful cultures.
Why are original works treated specially? Why are public materials and rips shunned in total favor of original works (down to and including utterly crap ones)?

You are arguing what is rather than how it should be, KingArthur. You are welcome to describe original work as crap, but what you shouldn't be welcome to do is calling unoriginal work superior to original work. Just because players might share your attitude doesn't make it the correct one.

I would like an explanation of why it is wrong. Why am I wrong to expect to be properly entertained by games that I play?
It's wrong because you are encouraging creative laziness for your own petty, selfish impulses. You are capable of being better than the average Gameloft consumer.

As a player, I do not care if the stuff I see are original creations, publicly available materials, or rips from other games. What I care about is whether what I see and experience is appealing, whether the game is fun in every sense of the word, whether my time spent was worth it. Is it wrong of me to hold such an attitude?
Yes, it is a wrong. Hold yourself to a better standard.

People who would rather play the same game with rips over original, albeit sub-par graphics are assholes. You are encouraging a lack of creativity and shame on you.
Everybody is capable of making their own graphics, they are just incapable of swallowing their pride and making ugly graphics. Draw your own stuff and learn to settle for, "Well, it looks like a tree at least." The only excuse for using somebody else's material is a lack of time, because any media creation takes a lot of it and many would rather just create their game instead. What is especially depressing are people who spend a lifetime ripping, tweaking, and editing rips--so much time that they could've used it making their own stuff.

Best Game Openings: RPG Version
Humm... I've never actually seen the FF6 PSX intro. Anyway, I'll echo FF8 as one of my favorite RPG intros.
