"His own mind was destroyed by his incredible power.  What an all-mighty idiot!" -Pokey

Also, greatest final line from any last boss
"Ness.  Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness,     Ness.  ...i'm h... a... p... p     y   " -Giygas

I cried.

This, or any Ace Attorney quote.


There's actually a part in Red Faction 2 that remained in my brain for a few years, but I can't remember it any more..

Oh, and one that everybody forgot.




I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

i'm reading these quotes and i'm kind of appalled. there's basically nothing you can post in this topic that won't make me think you're a massive faggot.

ahem, what i mean is

"don't blame us. blame yourself or god." - final fantasy delita

heh.........

i dunno, the street fighter ones are pretty excellent.

and would you feel differently if hundley posted those screenshots of that nes game with weird dialogue??

    * "God" is an image created out of man's insecurities.

    * A small stone may only make a small ripple at first, but someday it will be a wave.

    * You'll never know the feeling of the 'Meager'. You may think you know it, but you've never lived it!

    * "Reality" is far harsher than you can possibly imagine!

    * Two lions are fighting for power after the king dies... Both want to know who their allies are. But, it's hard to read strangers' minds. So, why not kill 'em all and bring in your own people?

    * Governments falsify history only so it favours them. But you can't blame them. Because people always hope for a 'miracle'. Endlessly complaining, lazy, nuisances... that's what the masses really are. Governments give the people what they want... and history repeats itself. Governments might well have taken advantage of their insecurity... but then again, people are satisfied being used... 'God' is nothing but an image created out of their insecurity. It's their fault for knowing they're comfortably numb, and not doing anything about it.

    * You don't understand how hard it is to fulfill your ideals. Even if your ideals are great, they're just dreams if you can't fulfill them! So how can you fulfill them? You need power! That's the politics of the world! I can see it clearly now! You can't fulfill your dreams without power! You say I'm a dog of the church! Go ahead!! I don't care. You can all despise me, but I'll be laughing at the end! You'll all submit to me!

So is this just LOL JRPG or like do you legitimately have a problem with those lines?  Because if I recall he was actually a fairly compelling character because he was a mindless revolutionary who just sort of regurgitated whatever it was that whatever revolutionary group he happened to be involved with at the time told him to think.  So I don't really get your post (the translation is rough in some spots but that's hardly A+ satire material?).

the idea that some 2d videogame sprite is going to spout off political philosophy terms and appear wise to most of the people in this topic is the satire I suppose.

I guess yeah it's sort of absurd when you step back from it but I don't know man they did the best they could with what they had

All of the quotes are bad, but the sixth one (governments falsify history...) is absolutely horrible, Maladroithim. All they had to do was add "also: it's okay to be a pedophile" and it would have been the summation of every single one of TheAmazingAtheist's youtube movies. And it's not even that it's the most ridiculous and contrived shit ever, it's that the only people who would ever say something like this are 13 year olds. Here's an anime character hunting for magic stones preaching middle school pseudo-philosophy and there are grown adults that think it is a fucking masterpiece.

I cringed at almost every single one of these quotes.

Brilliant...

War of the Lions pretty much fixed everything wrong with the original ps1 release.

I secretly wished they kept the "Blame yourself.  Or God" quote though.

EDIT:

"METAL GEAR!!!???" -solid snake

i guarantee you all 100 ducatz that snake will say this the very first time metal gear is mentioned in mgs4.

hey chef, what was that game with the fat guy that bets you 100 ducatz for something?  i forget.

it is realms of arkania - star trail, and as soon as there is a way for non-staffers to submit articles, i am going to write an article about why this is the best game.

i could only find the german version of the intro though

http://youtube.com/watch?v=KjAbB-0D_0M&feature=related

the best quotes are in the very beginning of the game and are said by the same guy. "He spoke of an alliance between the dwarves and the elves? What a nonsense. They can no more coexist than fire and water." and "I will pay you a full 1000 ducats for it."

Here's an anime character hunting for magic stones preaching middle school pseudo-philosophy

it's because the quotes are clearly put in the game to be thought-provoking and meaningful or whatever, but they don't sound like anything any adult would ever say. really, they just sound some stupid shit an atheist/anarchist teenager would say. the.... the foolish masses....

idk man do you just not discriminate against this type of dialogue? it is VERY CLEARLY poorly done and contrived; i didn't think it would need explaining!

Well I actually believe exactly the same thing but I had always assumed that Wiegraf was just a tool and that he is sort of like that old guy in Hamlet that's always giving Hamlet all sorts of unsolocited advice and not everyone that sees Hamlet like gets the joke?  Because Wiegraf is always switching ideologies beased on whatever is most convenient at the time and at the end of the game he finally admits that actually the only thing he's cared about is killing the main character.  And his speeches always have the least do to with the situation at hand (a fight to the death) out of most of the long-winded speeches in the game so I don't know.  But yeah it might be more likely that the character was in fact a serious one and was a sucky character instead of an intentionally sucky character because I'm not certain that FFT's writing staff was really capable of poetic justice but that's not how I've always interpreted it personally.

Wiegraf's quotes are pretty ridiculous even in WotL because he is essentially that angsty teenager that complains about everything.  He sees himself as this disillusioned freedom fighter who fights for the common man but in the end all he cares about is revenge for sister (who was a freedom fighter) and dies alone in some underground cave.

But yeah, WotL fixed pretty much every poorly translated LOL-inducing line from the original release like Ovelia's "...Oh god...", my favorite line "Ramza, what did you have...........", and the classic "Defeat Dycedarg's Evil Brother" (Dycedarg WAS the evil brother).  It's pretty sad to note that FFT is pretty much Square's best work in terms of story telling but they still managed to screw it up in the end game where all the Political Intrigue(C) turned into another generic Japanese "KILL GOD BECAUSE GOD IS EVIL (ALWAYS)."
