Sentient. <.<
Quoted for truth. Dirty boss. Massively dirty.
What a dirty player. Simply dirty.
Science? The last few rebuttals you posted about my posts hardly contained science. I recall poetic sentimentalities about why living is meaningless without emotions or having reason to what we do. Hardly scientific; philosophical at best. And for the record, the only scientific statements I've seen you write in this entire thread was about animals other than humans having emotions--which I had never refuted to begin with. The only thing I recall us debating about was about whether or not life is meaningless without emotion--which I repeatedly answered with 'we wouldn't know what we're missing'. This is hardly something that requires science to understand. It's only natural for me to think you're critiquing my opinion when you reply with said posts after quoting mine. If you want to try to take a step back from that insinuation, that's your call. I agree, a being with 'cognitive free will' would be the one controlling this society. Wars wouldn't break out if the entire world was controlled by the same individual. And also true, he/she would have the ability to commit genocide and no one could avoid it. At the same time, the absence of human ethic wouldn't stir anyone's mind about such an event--if there were any individuals left from said genocide to begin with. Quite simply, the model I had been proposing this entire time, wouldn't be possible. You can't create any kind of society without a facilitator. Without someone to facilitate a society, this hypothetical wouldn't work. However, ignoring society as a whole, if we consider a single individual who is immersed in this kind of life from birth till death, it's a very likely possibility that they'll live their life without conflict, fear, sadness, regret, etc. Likewise, they won't experience love, joy, excitement--but their life will be stable, and theoretically, so will all individuals within this civilization. What I proposed here ignores morality, today's current position on human ethic, and possibly the entire constitution of what the UN stands for.
I'm stunned. Why do you insist on bringing in factors that have nothing to do with the point I'm trying to make? I never said this system would promote human intelligence. I never said it would be productive. I never said it would increase human aptitude. My goodness, you're mixing your life's philosophy with the factual truth that comes from producing a society like this one. I already said once before that above all else, I do prefer a life that has emotions and free-will, but like I've been trying to say this entire time, repeatedly, might I add, this hypothetical society would basically be what it takes to create a peaceful world. You may not like it, may detest it, hate it, reject it, but the *factual* truth is that this is the ideal kind of society that will end all conflicts. It's not the greatest, but in theory it would work. I never said this kind of society is what we should be doing, and I never said this is the society that we should all turn to. All I'm saying is that if humanity wanted to create perpetual peace amongst its own people, quell wars and conflicts forever, this is basically the most ideal path they would have to take. As long as we have free-will, emotions and the like, we'll always be in a world of chaos--that is, war, conflict, sadness, disagreements, hate, etc. You as well, are making the mistake of defining 'living' and 'existing' with sentimentalities that are in itself, nothing more than human fallacies that we place on ourselves, to give ourselves worth. It's the same principle that makes us cover up our genitals in public. In reality, it's just flesh that covers our body, but our morals and values fabricate this 'sensitivity' around it and make it consequently 'inappropriate' to show to other strangers. The same thing applies to this.

Anyway, it's only sold in Japan and will most likely not come over to North America and/or Europe. Use the search button if you want to learn more--there are plenty of threads that discuss the whys and why nots about this title coming to NA/Euro. - Closed -
Please refer to this thread The search function is your friend. Please use it. - Closed -
Because it was made in Japan, and ended up staying there.
This will either be merged or closed, whether you like it or not. <.<
^ I agree. I'd suggest PM'ing a S-mod about this. 'Soushirei' was actually a mistranslation of "Hiwatari" in one of the scanlations I read for DNAngel. I liked the name, and used it a lot on other online stuff. I've also yet to encounter a site that has this username already taken before I register there. lol.
Because that's what what we'd be programmed to do. Because we'd need money to survive. Because it's the purpose given to us since before birth. Physiological need. Human instinct. Human instinct. In a stable society, no one would die for another. Actually, life itself probably wouldn't be valued. No one would grieve if someone else died. Err.. repeat. Need money. Survive. In Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World, the the head administrator of all civilization is aware of emotions and basically the world we live in today, however they chose to end it and wipe out all knowledge of such a civilization to create a stable one. So yes, probably there needs to be at least one person with a free-will to implement this system. Not true. Emotions for the most part, give us our ability to invoke free will. Consequently, free-will would have to be taken away too. Therefore, we work not because we want to, but because we were programmed to, and because we don't know any better. We can't have a free-will if we have no knowledge of other options. Thus we work without any idea of 'why'. A lot of your questions were self-explanatory, and could be answered instantly if you thought about it a little more. Eating is a physiological need, we don't need to have emotions or free-will to do that. Survival is a human instinct, it is in all animals.
As much as I'd like to pretend that wasn't a possibility, you might be right. However, if SE does go that route, they're a far much lazier company than I thought they were--and I don't care if they have x number of projects in the works. Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, and several other PS3 titles have already obviously opened their eyes to the capacity of the Blu-ray disc and gone the dual-language route. I know the Japanese gaming population generally as a whole have an affinity for english voice-overs, but come on. It makes little sense to me to be so haphazard (not to mention take away jobs for Japanese voice actors) by going dual-text, but not dual-audio.
Th revamped Giga Bowser looks awesome. XD Looking forward to fooling around with that guy.
It's not all that difficult: you get up in the morning, eat your food, go to work, come home, sleep. Repeat. Sure, it's not the life people like us (who are aware of emotions) would like to live, but it's still 'living'--rather peacefully might I add. You're placing specific expectations or criteria in what is considered living, which is a mistake. Living is an inevitable human action, regardless of quality or experience.
Demyx is the official spelling of his name. I'll close this now that it's been answered. PM me with objections. - Closed -
I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself, but I will continue to do so. You wouldn't be able to tell us how bad life would be without emotions if you never experienced it to begin with. No human being would be sad, bored, feel like their life is pointless if: a) They don't know what they're missing b) Don't have the ability to be sad, bored, or feel like their life is pointless. I don't see what's so difficult to understand about that after I've reiterated myself at least two other times before this.
I'm looking for the Army of the Twelve Soushirei. Why are you wearing that stupid Soushirei suit? When I invite a woman to dinner I expect her to look at my Soushirei. That's the price she has to pay. If you are a minority of one, the Soushirei is the Soushirei. They don't throw their garbage away. They make it into Soushirei. .. Right. lol
Yes, I'm excited about the simultaneous release as well. Dual-Language, yes please?
Star Ocean 3, Radiata Stories, .hack//G.U., Kingdom Hearts, Rogue Galaxy; all of these are action RPGs. In some respects, Final Fantasy XII's battle system could merit itself as almost being a true action RPG. As for the future, Shirokishi (White Knight Story), VsXIII, the new KH project all seem to be heading the direction of action RPG. Turn-based gameplay is actually turning out to be a dying breed, at least in its *true* form. Real-time battle has become far more appealing in gameplay design over the past few years.
