We are its elitists. We, who know the random variance of a thousand spells, the blood types of a thousand creatures, over a thousand blades, we can see Riviera in all its glory. We are not blinded by the differences that Riviera brings to RPGs. Nor do we ignore them. We see them, and we understand, "This is good". We see the lack of movement options as a way to free us from pointless choices. We see the lack of random battles as a way to free us from random battles. We see Practice Mode, its replacement, say to us, "For lo, I have returned to level you up, but I shall be optional!" We see that the limited knapsack, item wear, and in-battle item limit as removing all limits from strategic choices and from the "One man one weapon" rule put in place by our forebears.
~~~ Au.

Not to mention the beautiful and unique artwork (primarily the backgrounds), great compositions and the fact that it mixes such a lot of elements from totally different genres that it can not even really be ordered into a pre-existing category of video games, being this exceptionally innovative and original.
Also bath scenes. This post has been edited by P.P.A.: Aug 30 2008, 11:58 AM ~~~  Don't bother fighting back, Ein - you won't win. |

You're just trying to get us to say something. But I can't think of something to say that fits and is funny.
So I'll just say, INFINITE EINHERJAR SUCKS. ~~~  Things change, things really change |

Yes! Only true artists can appreciate Riveria for all its worth, for others are blind to the true meaning of art!

I didn't say anything about artists.
I was talking about elitists, and about the geniuses we follow. There are over a thousand "artists" Who look down on games And look down on mechanics. They would be hardpressed to tell you what's so great about a unique video game. Those "artists" will never understand why something so fresh is beautiful. You missed the whole point of my Riviera Elitist Rant. ~~~ Why is life so complicated sometimes?

Think of all the gorgeous ladies and that epic soundtrack always playing the right music at the right time.

QUOTE(Durango @ Oct 8 2008, 01:56 PM)  Think of all the gorgeous ladies and that epic soundtrack always playing the right music at the right time. Agreed. Aside from that, Riviera has so much depth. It truly is a cult classic. My only regret is that more people do not know of its beauty. So I try to preach it to everyone I know, much to their annoyance. :3 This post has been edited by Neon_the_Chao: Oct 8 2008, 06:07 PM ~~~ "I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself" - Some Guy

Riviera doesn't need more people knowing about it.

Because Riviera has enough fans.
Also, if you're being serious, it isn't -that- great. |

I didn't say it wasn't great, I said it's not as great as you say it is.
