    Good but I don't think anything will trump their Resi4 vid. That was stuff of legends.

    Interesting read. Personally, I don't even pay attention to what they (the powers that be) make these names up for their "systems".


    But after reading this article, I wanna be that guy that spends his days in said office, throwing paper airplanes in the air and throwing darts at works that might have some remote bit of sense for what could be a "revolutionary new same-old action scheme"!


    Here's one I propose for Squenix to use next:


    "New-Old-Same-Style-Battle-Mode"


    Free of charge. I'll even let them take credit for it!

    It's sad... I heard the title of the battle system and Michael Jackson's "Beat It" flashed into my head.


    That said, I would like to introduce the RBPOAOATDTSAAN:

    The proper term is Inuit, and they don't actually have a thousand names for snow.


    But I see what you were trying to do there.

    isn't the main character named Gunn Hotrod, or something equally ridiculous? seems to be a trend.
