FFIXfags we really need to talk about this delusion you have about FFIX being "criminally underrated":

Your game has sold millions of copies, is generally well received among the FF fanbase (especially outside /v/ and /vr/) and is among the highest rated FF games everywhere. Care to explain how exactly is FFIX supposed to be underrated or unknown?

Was going to post about Finland but since it is already done here is something else I want to bring up:

>French vidya character
Is always from Paris, France

>German vidya character
Is always from Berlin, Germany

>Japanese vidya character
Is always from Tokyo, Japan

>Spanish vidya character
Is always from Madrid, Spain

>Indian vidya character
Is always from Bombay/Mumbai

>Russian vidya character
Is always from Moscow, Russia

>Turkish vidya character
Is always from Istanbul, Turkey

>Irish vidya character
Is always from Dublin, Ireland

>etc...
I'm sure you see the pattern by now

>meanwhile
American vidya character #1 is from New York, USA
American vidya character #2 is from Los Angeles, USA
American vidya character #3 is from Philadelphia, USA
American vidya character #4 is from San Francisco, USA
American vidya character #5 is from Chicago, USA
American vidya character #6 is from Detroit, USA
I'm sure there are shitload of other American vidya characters from other/smaller cities as well

Now I know that neither Americans or Japanese are exactly interested about world beyond their own borders but would it be wrong to expect them to know more than one city from other countries?

>meanwhile Rinoa is still somehow holding herself at side of the garden with just two fingers despite the Gardens constantly ramming into each other at full speed

This right here is some grade A bullshit. Not even the incredible Hulk could hold onto the side of the Balamb Garden while the other Garden is ramming it and I'm supposed to believe that weak skinny teenage girl like Rinoa is able to? I double fucking dare NESfag or someone else to give a believable explanation to Rinoa's superhuman strength here.

Speaking of things that makes "perfect sense"

Sephiroth has fallen in the makostream/lifestream before, which is basically the blood of the planet. Instead of casting Meteor, why didn't Sephiroth have his clones, who were capable of making it to the Northern Crater, despite the monsters, that are not in control of Sephiroth, just grab Mako Sephiroth and drop him back into the makostream? This way he could have merged with the lifestream in order to take control of it becoming a god ruling over the planet without Cloud and co. being able to do anything to stop him.

Sephiroth's plan to be at the center of the planet's Meteor-inflicted wound, because that's where the lifestream will be gathering? Meteor is hovering above Midgar while Sephiroth is stuck underground in a crystal at the northern crater. Is this a tremendous oversight on Sephiroth's part or am I missing something here?

Also if we acknowledge the existence of Crisis Core Shinra was searching the Promised Land, that according to them was a place full of Mako. Later they find the Northern Crater and assume it to be their Promised Land because it's a place abundant with Mako. In Crisis Core it is implied Shinra already knew where the Northern Crater was located. The result is that in FFVII they were searching for something they had already found.
