PhantasiaKnights: ...I mean, they don't even have a marketplace. Or bathrooms :p Unless you count the delightfully pervy-wanker moment in Vector. It's a guilty pleasure to have the girls squat and flush over and over.
SkyRendrX: Hehehe.
PhantasiaKnights: Square should have made that a running gag in all later FF games.
SkyRendrX: Well, there are bathrooms in FF7. And you can never use any of them. They're usually occupied. I feel sorry for those people always stuck in those bathrooms. They must have the runs something awful.
PhantasiaKnights: Well you can at least flush the toilet in the Shinra building.
SkyRendrX: Yeah, even though nothing happens but a little splash sound effect.
PhantasiaKnights: But could you imagine Squall, Rinoa, and Selphie all in a bathroom together, and Squall for no reason whatsoever just sits on the toilet still fully clothed, and flushes?
SkyRendrX: Hehehehehe. Sounds like something straight out of the Sims. I doubt we'll see them using Japanese squatter toilets in RPG's any time soon, though. Those are a lot more, ah, explicit.
PhantasiaKnights: Also, Cid doesn't have a toilet anywhere on his floor. He must have a long walk during the late night runs...
SkyRendrX: Heh.
Phantasia Knights:Another running joke is that all characters in RPGs wear Depends. And they change them between scenes.
SkyRendrX: My goodness, wouldn't that be a hoot? Imagine if NPC's commented on it?
PhantasiaKnights: "Something stinks... and it's not scripted."
SkyRendrX: "What's that smell? Oh, the heroes are here to save us! ...I hope they go away soon."
PhantasiaKnights: If a character like Umaro ever had the runs, half the cast in the immediate vicinity would be killed.
SkyRendrX: Hehehe! He IS strong enough to mow down an ironwood, after all. His bowels are probably as strong, if you get my drift.
PhantasiaKnights: Fuck Cefca's Tower, just drop a load on top and they don't even have to get off the airship to save the world.
SkyRendrX: Indeed. "Umaro not like chili!" "Shut up and eat it, you big oaf. We have a world to save."
PhantasiaKnights: It's enough to melt Cefca's makeup. Maybe that's why he lost it for the final battle? Oh my God Kaijin! Nooooooooooooooooooo!
SkyRendrX: That's it! Magick infusion is clearly the act of putting a person in a chamber full of Phantom Beast crap!
PhantasiaKnights: And the Midgardsormr...hoo boy.... You get the idea.
SkyRendrX: Aye, that I do. Quite a bit of comedy potential in RPG's, if you don't mind resorting to (literally) bathroom humor.
PhantasiaKnights: Maybe it wasn't Sephiroth that impaled it on that tree, but rather Cefca coming back for revenge.
SkyRendrX: Ya never know, do ya?
PhantasiaKnights: Maybe what's in the swamp water itself makes that Chocobo run so fast.
SkyRendrX: Well, wouldn't YOU be running through it as fast as you can? I mean, come on, the Midgardsormr probably doesn't care about where it takes a dump...
PhantasiaKnights: Which is why the others commit suicide by hurling themselves unto trees.
SkyRendrX: Ya, the most potent pooper is the only one left alive. :P
PhantasiaKnights: I'm King of the swamp...gas!
