It is. Each entry has its own distinctive charm. Obviously, the modern ones are more appealing to the eye, but all entries have their own forte. For me, FF8, FF9, FF10, and FF12 are the best gameplay-wise, the setting of FF8, a somewhat technofantasy is the best, but if you dig JRPGs, you'll find what you're looking for.

For example, FF7 has a great story, FF8 explores theories really intriuging, FF9 has the best playable character of all the series (Vivi), FF10 kicks you in the groins, but you still want more, FF12 has the battle system of previous entries refined, FF13 is beautiful and fast-paced, FF3 and FF4 have the old-school vibes with great mechanincs. I cannot praise this series enough. It's of its own. It IS Final Fantasy.

The way it was originally portrayed by op implied heavily that, at best, it was a vocational change, especially considering the nature of Japanese views on sexuality. With your intervention of the actual quote, I see no issue here. Transgenderism is a normal word that bigots and non bigots use, it's like the word gay or lesbian, it's just a word. It's not a slur and it's not attacking anyone, it's a descriptive term of a medical condition. Who's talking pictures? You posted a significantly more accurate translation of the text then op did. Also, you don't have to be a condescending asshole with: "which you hopefully can read".

Dude, I don't know how to read Japanese. All OP had to do was post that and I would have just ignored the post entirely. And can you not throw the word bigot around so callously? Japanese sentiments towards sexuality and transgenderism are vastly different than that of Western Nations. I was doubting that they would do it in the first place for a game like Pokemon and a company like Nintendo.

What killed me is when they did a battle pass, they did it initially for the right reasons. While it wasn't a lot, some of that money went to the artists that made the skins, some of it went to the players to increase the prize pool, and yeah some of it went into unlocking cool items. Hell, I think one of the TIs unlocked techies.

I think after TI 8, I was just done. TI hosts one of the biggest prize pools in gaming, and it should be much higher. I think the last time I checked, 15 or 20% went to the prize pool. I mean, that's horrible considering how much is dropped on TI each year.

you yourself said:

>After beating her in battle, say says "Yes, a mere half year ago I was a Black Belt! Quite the transformation, wouldn't you say?"

I assume this is all she says as you put a full quote in the text of youre post and trainers dont talk much after getting whooped. this does not really imply transgenderism. Its just a vocational change. unless it literally says she's trans or unless the creators confirm this theory, its just that, a theory.
