  Yes, it does indeed. I said that for two reasons, firstly, this is the first thing I've written for The Expert so it seems logical to call this where it begins. If I instead wrote "It finishes", well that would mean this would be the end and that I wouldn't write anymore, and personally I think that if I stopped after one line I'd be a lazy quitter, and the last thing I am is a quitter. After Optimus Prime was killed by Megatron, did he just quit? No, he came back... FROM THE SUN! That's right, the sun. So if you want to call me a quitter, take it up with Optimus Prime. Secondly, you may or may not know that the strange kid in Final Fantasy X says that line at the start of the game.
The relevance? Well I met the bunch of miscreants known as The Expert 's writers at a Final Fantasy messageboard. We obviously share a common interest in the series, however, it is far from perfect. The series never appealed to everyone, casual gamers in particular have a difficult time enduring hours of "..." from characters. I would like to take this oppurtunity to tell you how the series could be greatly improved, as I am quite frankly the only person on the Internet... no, the WORLD, qualified to undertake such a life-threatening task.
1. Final Fantasy X-2 was published by EA. You can't really tell unless you look at the box, as there is no EAness (as I like to call it) about the game whatsoever. So I say to you EA, oh publishing giants who threaten the very industry that pays my rent, make your mark on the series. Next time I hop onto the back of a colossal yellow bird, I no longer want to hear "Cinco De Chocobo", I want to hear something EA, something like Usher possibly.
Look what it did for Tiger Woods. Let's be honest, everyone knows golf is crap. Somehow EA throw in some hip-hop and the sport becomes cooler than MC Hammer dancing in his underpants in the middle of Siberia. 2. Introduce this year's biggest craze, rag-doll physics. When I attack an ominous green mole brandishing a kitchen knife, he should know about it. As my oversized sword connects with his head he should reel back as though the immortal Rocky Balboa himself has just delivered his thunderous left hook to the wretched beast. 3. Introduce last year's biggest craze, bullet time. To put it into simpler terms for those of you not as adept in gaming as myself, I want to be able to press a button to make me run slower.
Everyone loved the Matrix, right? 4. Make the plot more relevant to Westerners, particualrly the English as we are superior to every other race. The petty battles for world domination set in a world of dragons and magic mean nothing to me. Kids would much rather fight the battles of beer, drugs, teenage pregnancy and Nike hats. This is what the British youth can relate to. 5. More ninjas. I haven't seen a single bloody ninja since FF6, and with their ever-rising popularity I find this unacceptable. Square-Enix, heed my advice. You want to make money, well I put the "sell" in "selling-out".
