Kingdom Hearts, FF VIII, X, X-2, Last Order, and Advent Children?

What an amazing resume of clusterfuck bullshit writing. Very Happy

Is schools with guns the next big thing? Sure we've always had the occasional student gunslinger, but Angel Beats! might have created a monster with the whole "school army" thing. I guess Aria The Scarlet Ammo didn't bury the concept after all, hopefully this isn't nearly as bad as Aria.

Haven't played FF VIII (for shame) or Last Order, but could FFX really be considered a clusterfuck? The story seemed pretty straightforward and comprehensible to me; yeah, there was twist towards the end, but it made sense and I consider it one of the best written FF games so far. And the KH series always gets a bad rap for being hard to follow, but I feel that's more because it's spread out over so many different consoles, with each game containing a high level of continuity. Yeah, some of the plot developments are really forced, but otherwise it's nothing unprecedented, especially coming out of Japan. From what I can tell, Advent Children only didn't make sense if you hadn't played/didn't know the plot of FFVII, but it was a direct sequel so what can you expect?

Can't argue about FFX-2, that game was whack.
