I think Christopher Nolan has to be my favorite movie director. the end killed it for me. his acting while he was "discovering the purpose" sounded like a sci fi i would have written in high school. | ||

I heard it was originally written with a different ending and they had to change it? | ||

I mean it would have been awesome if they kept the presumably sad original ending, but man would I have felt pretty bummed out about it. I feel that it's a little unfortunate that sometimes artists feel pressure to change their vision in order to appease others. | ||

Fking Christopher Nolan's ego shoulda just went with his brother's idea the alternate ending sounded so much cooler and the ending just partially ruined the movie for me zzz | ||

Also remember seeing that with my wife and she freaked the hell out at the water planet scene. I probably freaked the hell out at the visualized time dilation. Great movie overall. | ||

Basically at the end instead of Cooper getting saved deus ex machina style when he goes into the black hole, he just dies like he should have. | ||

I'm not okay with this, this happens and you just turned the movie into Armageddon the movie, featuring aerosmith. Only without the smooth dadrock tones. The movie has closure this original way. Characters progress and move as they should given the circumstance. This is fine, you might not like it but this is fine. | ||

But then at the end it all gets invalidated when God gives it all back to him using a magic bookcase. It makes the ending hollow and without the gravity and feels of the first 90% of the film. | ||

Not having seen Interstellar, but I don't think it's quite Armageddon? I think they mean he literally doesn't do whatever he does in the black hole, as opposed to Armageddon still working out ok with the heroic sacrifice? Again, haven't seen it, so I could be wrong. | ||

While I recognize FFT's strength in story, in term of the gameplay it's not even remotely good compared to FFTA/A2. | ||

If you grind then it's easy as fuck, just like most FF games. | ||

Elevation effects are too hard to predict and too punishing (since once you move you can't undo). Ranged attacks are very unreliable. 2. Camera. 3. Revive can miss (and you think Thracia 776 was bad). 4. Unit turn + cast time is hard to manage due to bad UI. 5. Zodiac advantages are too complicated (I can understand things like weapon triangles, but the Zodiac advantage is too much). 6. Bad job progression. 7. Perm death + RNG EDIT: 8. Trololol Rend Armor 9. Trololol Steal Heart (and other perm debuffs) I don't think "balance" is a serious issue in a single player game. Strategic diversity is, but A/A2 has the Judge system so you are more or less forced to be able to adapt and build a versatile team. FFT is actually quite worse at this as far as I can tell at this point | ||

You see, the problem here is that the difficulty curve for FFTA/A2 is very smooth and you can restrict yourself in playing the main quest for most of the game without resorting to run around for random encounters to grind from. | ||

But it's not bad, and it's got possibly the best story of any FF game, and great music too. I lurve it. And you shouldn't have to grind ever to beat FFT. There's only one mission in the whole game where it should feel too difficult without grinding, and that one is admittedly a bunch of RNG crap and a badly designed mission. If you just try it a few times you'll luck out. | ||
