"Even the crappiest cartoon or lamest soap teaches a child about character, plot, drama, humour, life. Playing videogames, children are mentally imprisoned, wired into their evil creators' brains."

--Janice

This amuses me to no end, the worst generalization this author decides to dwell on is her own experience. I know families that play games together. I don't know any kids that sit "drooling," either. Oh, except for the author's kids. Go figure.

People, this is the kind of article that exhibits the narcisistic plague that has his this generation, and the latter in their older age, or those that choose to embrace it. This is nothign more than a person thinking that their own experience is the ONLY experience and the LAST experience. To this I would add: uniformed.

The quote itself is not predicated on any experience with Final Fantasy. I don't really know of any other game franchise that has spawned thousands of written, typed, and drawn fanfiction. Amirite? xD

as previously posted, it has come to the attention of many japanese fans that crisis core has indeed gone and gave a major hint that final fantasy 7 will be remade for a new console, whether it be xbox360, Ps3 or even wii it is not clear which format it will be on, if any

here is the secret trailer which is presented to you after completing crisis core with certain criteria met



and some screens to go with it









In my own opinion, if this is indeed going to be a reality, expect Square Enix to announce it in October
