Way to put my foot in my mouth (ff7 and 8 spoilers)

Real conversation taking place as I play the winhill subquest for the first time yesterday:

My mom: I wish you wouldn’t play those games so much. They can’t be good for you.

Me: Hey, this is an RPG. It’s a strategy game. It develops the ability to think logica-WHAT THE…?

*giant mother chocobo runs across the road.*

Mom: Oh, like for example you should have logically been able to forsee that due to the "Bird X-ing" sign on the side of the road…

😮

BTW, what’s up with Raine’s ghost? A reference to Aeris’ ghost, maybe? (the programming error so popular they made a sequel to it? :uh?: wish my programming professor felt that way about my mistakes…)

funny

Haha, thats good. I’m not sure whats up with raines ghost.

Haha, that is so funny. OK, not really but…that happened to me too! Hehe.

hey ! i could did aeris alive in disk 3 FF7 !

Sounds like my mom, heh

"Those games can’t be good for you…wish you’d stop playing…"

Raine’s ghost is there because Raine died. Just like Aeris died.. forever haunting the place they loved. Aeris in the church, and Raine in the house. I thought it was very sad seeing both ghosts.

my mum always complains about the size of females breasts in comp games…y she is looking, i dont kno 😮

That’s Funny, My mom always complains when i am playing video games.

my mum thinks vid games are a waste of time. but daddy dont have no complaints, cuz he plays vid games, too.

I agree, it was sad. Did you know Aeris’s ghost wasn’t intentional? It was a programming error but the idea that it was a "ghost" was so popular among fans that they didn’t bother to fix the error in the American or International versions, sort of like the peninsula in FF1 where all those advanced monsters accidentally appear. That’s why I was saying it would be really funny if Raine’s ghost was inspired by Aeris’s; they’d be making a sequel to a programming error.

Is that you in your avatar and sig pic? :eye: Weird, you really do look like Aeris.
