I kinda... hate all the actual entries? And a couple of them don't even meet the criteria. I'd have voted for Juice Woman in an instant over any of them.

He'd be a solid partner character, too. I can practically see the dialogue in my head. He and Neku would get along great.

God, yes. Vizier is a fantastic example of how to play a character using just mannerisms. Voice actors who rely on silly accents can learn a lot from it.

The "straight man" is very much a part, so that would be sufficient, but even then it's not true. Despite not being a voice actor, every one of your characters has a distinct "voice" that's often more clear than just changing your accent and vocabulary.

I, a human being, have made the exact same mistake in the days of paper maps. Meant to take an underpass in San Francisco, ended up on a dead-end street trying to make a 7-point turn on a 40-degree incline.

About time. I don't know why everyone with their own domain doesn't do this; it's very easy. Makes you better than the White House (as if you needed another reason).

He looks like a kindergarten bully who just punched another kid and is trying to look cool about it.

And mine is that even in cases like that of Samus, who wears full, practical body armor, the reason for it is often to titillate the male gaze. (And also that male characters aren't exempt from being objectified, if less commonly.)

One conceals her femininity, which exists only so that there can be a titillating bikini shot as a reward for beating the game quickly. The other one is bishonen fan service. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

For me it was Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears, and Beginning from Super Castlevania IV, and Samba de Chocobo from Final Fantasy II (IV). My first exposure to VGM remixes, other than Super Mario World's Special World.

Probably, but that doesn't alter the truth value of his assertion. Replace any real-world group or organization into that sentence in place of "demons" and it still makes sense.

"Lossless" -> applies a hard limiter

Aw heck yeah. Just finished listening to season 4 in podcast mode a few months ago, then Seattle by Night after that. Can't wait for this to pop up in my RSS feed.

Concerts almost seem like a cop-out, but I can't argue how powerful they are. I was at More Friends in L.A., and when they played the Main Theme of Final Fantasy, I literally had to fight the urge to stand and put my hand over my heart.

My own wedding. I wasn't in the room, but one of the groomsmen charged into the the bride's dressing room, shouting "That man's playing Final Fantasy!" (It was Aerith's theme.) A few minutes later, I was backstage with my best man, who was trying not to laugh at "Theme of Love."

Yep, only his head has a hitbox. However, if you're standing in the wrong spot, he can hit you with a fireball or crush you if he breaks through the blocks next to you and hits you with his head, so it's not foolproof. I found those out the hard way, back in the day!

No mention of Cidolfas "Thunder God Cid" Orlandu. Disappointing.
