lately i've been playing ff9 on the ps2, and that revived my interest on certain final fantasy oldies. since i know i'm not going to play perennial favorite final fantasy tactics any time sooner, i decided to read the game script and relish in its dubious and bountiful plot twists.
it also contains many different takes on issues and ideologies, usually involving class, human manipulation, politics, religion, etc etc.
so allow me to post an insightful snippet.
Wiegraf: Hya, ha, ha. So much for 'God's miracle'. Governments
falsify history only so it favors 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.
i know it doesn't make much sense without knowing the context, so forgive me on that. if you want to read the whole thing, just look up "final fantasy tactics" in GameFAQs and look for the "game script" FAQ. (i can't directly link to it.)
back to downloading the ff9 soundtrack. nobuo uematsu is a genius.
