I bought a book on the Roman Empire, and it was called.

'Rome: The greatest Empire in Ancient History'

And then I thought to myself.

'Hang on? Why just Ancient? Surely the author is safe to say that Rome is the best empire ever.'

I brought this argument to my friend, who agreed that Rome was better (we both do Ancient and Modern History in our final year of school) but he gave the British empire more credit than I did. So, I got two maps, showing the two Empire's at their heights. Here they are.

ROME




BRITAIN



At first glance, it's clear that Rome have more regions. If you look even closer, you'll find that Rome's subjects are far more significant than those of the British.

So who did Britain conquer?

First you must note that the US and Canada were not conquered, they were colonised! Apart from some natives, there was no resistance. And on top of that, the US won their independance. Until the very end (and demise) of the Roman Empire, not one subject won independance, as shown by the map.

Britain's easily most prized Jewel was the Indians, and I give them a 10/10 as subjects. However, there isn't much more to the Empire. We have the Australiasian countries, of New Guenia, NZ and Australia. They have very small populations and AGAIN! Were colonised, not conquered.

The only country in their empire that they genuinely conquered was India. They took it by force and controlled it with a population of 250'000.

Well done, but Rome have done far greater things. We must also note that Rome was a city, not a country. It ruled Italy by force. You COULD say that the fact that all the British cities were united was part of why they were good, but you also have to admire the fact that one city controlled all of Italy, and fought back many rebellions such as the social war in 80Bc

Also, we must note that Britain have a far superior geographical position to the Romans. The Romans were invaded by Gaul, the Germans and Carthage. This was because they were land powers and easily assailable. Britian were an island, and were fortunate enough to be surrounded by waters, which defended them as well as a million men could.




There's lots more reasons, but I think I'd be pushing it if I wrote much more. Gimme your thoughts, my fellow historians.]]>

The remake is to be released sometime during Winter, 2008.

Update #2: The game seems to be an "enhanced port" and not a remake. We'll wait for more official details concerning the release in order to know what is going to change.


Update #3: Square Enix has officially announced Chrono Trigger will be released in North America this holiday season. According to the press release, a brand new dungeon and a Wireless Play mode will be added

Oh, and laws aren't nearly as bad as before, but that's kinda taken one of the biggest difficulties out of it. o.0
Now you choose a 'clan privilege' (Extra str, spd etc) at the start of the battle, and if you break a law you lose that privelege, and any KO'd characters stay that way until the end of the battle, but the privileges at the beginning are so small I've hardly even noticed the loss, and most characters get KO'd again as soon as I revive them.
Therefore, I hardly even notice when my judge leaves anymore. =D

Anybody else have or planning to get it? Well, planning to get it soon? =p]]>

Quote:Takahashi: We've currently revealed about 20% of Dissidia as a whole. Aside from the battle system, there are a lot of elements that haven't been shown. I think fans who have played the Final Fantasy series will be comfortable with them.

Takahashi: The original games are RPGs, so conceptually we're aiming for "Action-RPG plus competitive fighting," with the balance being half action and half RPG.

Takahashi: Regarding the battle portion, we're pretty much finished making the main characters themselves. Now we've got to spend a lot of time fine-tuning the combat balance.

Why Jecht over Seymour?

Nomura: Jecht may not have been the final boss (with Seymour being the mid-boss), but going with Sin would obviously not work. (laughs) I thought if we chose Seymour it would be hard to show a proper connection between him and Tidus, and we'd end up having to put Yuna in too. We decided the best choice with a solid relation to Tidus would be Jecht.

Arakawa: The scenes with Tidus and Jecht should be quite an interesting expansion. In the main FF10 story the two only got a chance to talk together in the final scene. This time we're telling the parts of that story that couldn't be seen before.

Are you saying we'll be able to see events that weren't shown in the main stories?

Arakawa: There will be quite a few. But what we're doing is fine tuning the original story details behind the characters' births, relationships, interactions. Tidus has a connection with the heroes, while Jecht is tangled with the characters on the Chaos side.

But there wasn't exactly much dialogue between the Light Warriors and Garland...?

Arakawa: To an extent there are understandable characterisitcs in FF1 and FF3. We really think it's important to give players a taste of our works, but basically if the story takes place in Dissidia we don't see [various series'] characters participating as strange at all. Smile and don't think too much about knowing the original stories.

When you say RPG, do you mean controlling characters as they wander around areas?

Arakawa: The main focus is more on character building, with customization as a key point. This game is to show our appreciation to players who've enjoyed previous Final Fantasy titles, so with their interest in mind even gamers who aren't into action gaming can enjoy [Dissidia].

This isn't like Kingdom Hearts, where you walk around locations and find yourself in combat. This also isn't that same mechanic of action-based fighting in continuous encounters. It's more like "Should I take this guy on next? Nah, maybe I'd better go with this one instead..."

Arakawa: Like a level 80 Squall fighting a level 20 Light Warrior, even if there's a difference in levels it's possible to pull an upset on the opponent.
Nomura: Choice" is very important.

Arakawa: We're also thinking about a community around Dissidia. Going forward we're looking more and more to incorporate a lot of original ideas into a Dissidia-suited communication system. Things like battle strength/ranking will be included, but basically we want to include a system where countless users can participate in one imagined "Battling Community", a world not about wins and losses but simply being connected to others trying to discover their own merits. Players who got together and can be excited about Final Fantasy.

Takahashi: Where you can learn to pull off really difficult challenges, and feel like "Getting to level 100 is where things just get started! (laughs)

Arakawa: Stories have their ends, but that's not necessarily true when you've played a game. After finishing one you can think "It's not over yet!", there's still this part of the game to do, still that to do...

Arakawa: Mr. Nomura has been at all the voice recordings, and the script is double the length of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

Nomura: We have a release time in mind, so now we've just got to work hard on the development. I'm positive it's not far off, so please keep an eye out in anticipation. We plan on giving a solid release date at an event in August.
