It could've been any unassuming and fairly specific item that Bahamut stored in the chest; it was simply the act of succeeding in that task that showed the party was ready to "grow up". 2. It was a lock of hair (that generally signified a trainee in some disciplines)...the act of removing the rat tail hairstyle tended to mark the passage of the student into a higher rank.

Then all that's left is to shoot that patient with a weird healing beam, and bam, bulletproof. This also heavily implies that Medic got every single one of his teammates to agree to have sketchy heart replacement surgery in an unsanitary doctors office filled with birds... which is the most unbelievable part of this whole scheme IMHO.

What about the older Fire Emblem games? This might not seem too out of the ordinary, but most characters once they reach level 10 just need to use a Knight’s Crest or similar item and they are, without explanation, instantly transformed into an upgraded form of their class. ie. Knights get transformed into Generals, becoming approximately 3 feet taller than they were before they used it, or regular two-bit Thieves becoming full-fledged Assassin’s upon looking at a scroll.
@MurasakiNoKami4 жыл бұрын
If you'd like an equally silly explanation, you can use 3 Houses. The crests give them the right to take an exam on becoming their desired class. Because we all know, you can't become a thief, barbarian, or assassin without the proper GPA!

Comix Zone on the Genesis had absolutely awesome music for a chiptune system. The soundtrack actually drove me to play the game and reignited my addiction to Beat'em'up games. D4 is an excellent example of why companies shouldn't make, and I don't buy, episodic games until they are complete. The game looked interesting in that "relive your fever days of LSD" sort of way while also having a storyline I would have enjoyed. I put it on my wish list and then waited for it to be completed. *sigh*

the Kingdom Hearts series is great at giving silly explanations for things, but my absolute favorite has to be the reason Sora has his powers in kh1. he got the Keyblade because Riku chose the darkness and someone needed to wield the Keyblade so fate just... gave it to Sora. there's no explanation for this anywhere in the series, unless we count the fact that Sora is hosting Ventus' heart and Ventus is a Keyblade wielder... but I don't think that's it, else it probably would've been confirmed, either by Nomura in an interview or in the games themselves.
@HovektheArtist4 жыл бұрын

It's also because Sora has a upbeat and caring attitude. If a person has the right qualities like wanting to protect everyone or your friends from darkness while having a pure or loving heart, they will have the power to wield a keyblade and use magic. Sora promised Aqua to protect Riku as a kid and Sora loved his friends. Being a carefree person is a part of purity so even if Sora didn't have Ven's heart in him to give him the extra boost of power to wield a keyblade, Sora's innocent and loving heart would have made him qualified to wield one because Kingdom Hearts found him worthy. ...Until Kingdom Hearts noticed he was breaking universal laws and blinked him out of existence, he still has his powers do defend himself though against Yozora... oh wait.
