Well hello everyone! It's great to be back after a whole week of not posting any Green Tips. But until they create some sort of device that lets you get on the Internet while you're sitting in a car, I'm going to have to miss a few days here and there. Without further ado, here's the second part of my video game series!
Ah, Final Fantasy. A video game series that started in 1987 in Japan and brought to the US in 1990. Since that original game came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System, 13 sequels and close to 30 spinoffs have been made, and that's not even counting the numerous TV shows and movies and anime mangas and fan fictions and fan conventions and plush dolls and Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Raitoningu Weapon Keychains. Let me just say that it's going to be really awkward when they do make the last Final Fantasy game. I suggest that they take a cue from the Final Destination and Fast and Furious movies and call the last game "The Final Fantasy." Anyway, I think you get the point. On to Green Tip #66.
Shut it down, Square Enix (makers of FF games). That's Green Tip #66. While your games characters aren't traitors like Mario is, it doesn't mean that you're sending the right environmental message. Even though many of your games take place before the Industrial Revolution, you still can't help but spread your irresponsible garbage about using magic like there's no tomorrow. (Which, in most games, there is the threat that there's no tomorrow because some evil is about to destroy the world. But that doesn't mean you can't practice some conservation). Despite what all of the propaganda says, magic is not a renewable energy source. And don't think you can just ride your chocobo to work to make up for it.
Anyway, here are my suggestions for Final Fantasy XV. The four elemental crystals are running low on magical energy and you play as a young hero who was chosen to save the world by some ancient prophecy. But, after playing all of the games before this one and realizing that all way too much crap has happened to all of the other heroes (girlfriends being stabbed, hometowns being destroyed, evil curses being put on you and your whole band of warriors), you choose a different path to save the world: Politics.
Just think of it now, instead of building up an arsenal of swords and shields and armor, you need to create campaign buttons and signs. Instead of a well balanced miniature army of warriors and magicians, you must recruit a strong campaign staff. And then when you do manage to get elected, you must fight the uphill battle against corruption and political maneuvering to pass a bill creating magic efficiency standards.
I know it may not sound exciting now, but let's face it, you can't fight Global Warming with a sword. And the Final Fantasy series needs to shape up its image. Square Enix, think about this when you're making Final Fantasy XV, otherwise you'll find that your games are numbered...
I mean numbered in a bad way, not numbered like they already are... You know what I mean.
