I would. Final Fantasy VIII was the epitome of fail. I've been saying that for years. If there's one game not to borrow ideas from, it'd be that game.

My blog posts are not specifically written to present 'original' ideas. I write them to present different methods of structuring content and engines, rather than throwing content out onto the table. I've been asked to develop content for servers since starting my blog entries, but have declined in each instance because I don't feel like working for anyone. Similarly, I don't think it's wise for me to provide information on original content since a few people have wanted to completely copy content I come up with rather than taking those ideas and modifying them. I don't care about one person copying stuff entirely, but when multiple people do that, conflicts come up about one server 'stealing' ideas from another, and I'm not going to be blamed for that. I've been thinking of putting up disclaimers for it, but I doubt it would help.

That's YOUR opinion. In my opinion, it's the second best one ever. Most of the FFVIII haters usually end up admitting that they didn't play more then 5-30 minutes, or never played more then past disc one. I'd appreciate it if you would keep your insults to yourself.

To be fair, you're the one that insulted him. Draenin was just making fun of the weapon, not Angel. You told him that his ideas were unoriginal and that he was copying from other people...

I couldn't care less about your opinion for another game, it's irrelevant. However, according to Wikipedia the said game received rave reviews in many popular publications, so I mean disregarding what you think, it couldn't have been all that bad.

I think your head is far too up your own ass to be quite honest. You're posting long-winded and obnoxious structures that are generally common sense in the development community; I don't really see how they're different methods at all. Disclaimers on server ideas has got to be the funniest thing I've read in a long time. I'd actually love to hear some of your "original" ideas, because chances are somewhere (or everywhere, lol) they've been done before, or do you mean original to Graal?

If your blog is only acting as a resource of reworded copypasta then I don't really see the point in it, but maybe that's just me.
