Then it's fiction? We've proven time and time again, if you take natural market and cultural differences, its been done at a higher quality, quicker, and overall cheaper in some respects.Great Saiyaman wrote:What I mean was if what you like is the Original then it's a fact that you should logically go with the DragonBox....but the Dragon Box's superiority is not a fact.
No, it's not, however you cannot advance in life if you assume everyone is essentially the same and that there is no 'authority' on the subject. If someone has been investing a lot of time, money, and life into a subject and their wealth of knowledge is more than yours, and if people who can actually research and concur, well, agree, then chances are those people are able to speak with amuch higher authority and call opinions out as fact, rather than just an opinion.Anyway, what you are saying is still not a fact. Just because people are "experts" doesn't mean that what they are saying is true.
You're right. It's all an opinion, but there are opinions that ARE more valid than others.
Okay. TV series wise (let the movies be a seperate issue due to the nature of it's video), lets use substantial facts (which can be further backed by figures should we be able to).Things have to be proven using undiputable evidence & by that I don't mean a majority of people agreeing.
The Japanese release has already come out, on less discs, with a higher bitrate and audio than the US releases. The Artwork is more appropriate and creative. There's a lack of front-loading trailers. There's no subtitles, however as this is a Japanese release, we can't hodl it against them, same as how we can't hold having an English dub against the US release. Afterall, they're in different markets, being sold to different audiences.
So once you've managed to detract the two major factors that seperate it (translation), which are as a result of markets, you're left with the core of the show. Regardless of what FUNimation received, it's extras pretty much pale in comparison to the Dragonbox. The Z release has also never been finished in a continual, uncut manner. It has a lower bitrate. The audio is worse. There's actually less intended animation. It's on more discs, which take up more space. It was done out of order.
I think those are considerable facts, assuming you're under the same beleif of what makes a release compotent (continual and logical).
Which can always be challenged, but that doesn't mean the person has any credibility or any clue what he is talking about.By that I mean the Law of Gravity on earth.
Actually, it does, more or less. They've actually had the experience in food and what not.Even if a poll which polled all 6 Billion people on earth & everyone but me said they profer the Original, it's still not a fact. Regardless of what is original or what "experts" say, Coloring of Anime will never be a fact. We could poll the entire US & ask which is tastier, a Hamburger or a Cricket. 98% of those people will say a burger, but in some places, Crickets and other bugs are delecasies. So those other 2% of the people aren't wrong, they just have different taste then the Hamburger lovers.
If you want it put in terms of experts, Pro food critics would also go in favor of hamburger, but that doesn't mean they're right.
Colouring in Anime is and can be an exact science. The people putting together these productions, from the higher and middle levels (even lower ones) are all educated men and women, who've spent years honing their skills in order to make the appropriate colours match up. Those are the colours as they were meant to be, they're the ones that were appropriatly chosen. It wasn't ever supposed to have bleeding colours in people's clothing. Ergo, better.
Thanks, but-Okay dude I respect ya for it, but that's all your opinion. You have a right to it.
I'm not telling people they're sinning, I'm telling them in the broadest, plainest terms that the video they prefer is awful for this, this, and this reason. The only actual argument I've gotten back is that since it's 'tricked out', it's better, which is logic primarily used for marketting old things to 12 year olds. As far as I know, you guys are not 12 year olds and being on the 'best DB forum on the interbutt' or whatever else, I would have thought you'd have-But you don't have a right to tell people they're sinning for preffering the video done a way that you don't like regardless of the low quality of the disk.
1. known better
2. not had the gaul to approve of such distasteful representation of the product despite how friendly FUNimation has gotten. Yeah sure, Toei approved it. Toei also approved One Piece and Knights of the Zodiac. Think about it.
Well, considering the initial boom of FF7, it was actually a really good looking game. It's only ten years on (and sorry, maybe 2-3+) where it started to look dated, but by then it had accumulated a cult following.Ultimatly people buy what they like quality be damned. How else do you explain say, Final Fantasy 7 outselling almost any other FF out there when it has exceptionally shoddy grahics? It was a prefferential purchase.
I'm not expecting people to feel the same way, I'm simply putting out WHY it is better, and people are saying otherwise using the same "It's YOUR opinion", which essentially boils down to them saying "I Disagree but couldnt be FUCKED arguing!".We can compare specs all day and say you feel you choose the better set, and for you you did. But don't expect everyone to feel the same way.
And that's great (though considering FF7 came before 8-9, so it would OBVIOUSLY have worse quality, video/whatever wise), but there is also the harsh reality that people can have more valid opinions than yours. It's not that your preference isn't important, it's not that you're entitled to it, it's just there are people who are able to actually make judgements and assessments on art and literature and have it deemed more as a fact, rather than an opinion. Of course people and other reviewers/whatever will object or agree in all manners, but the fact of the matter is people can hold more authority over a subject and CAN basically prove the superiority of one thing over another.Same example as above, I actually DESPISE Final Fantasy 7 and feel it's the worst possible FF on a technical standpoint that you could buy. But it is also TONS of people's favorate game in the series. Or heck just between the three PS1 games its a lot of people's favorate, and yet it's the ugliest and shoddiest of the three. But it's still their favorate. When things come down to it a personal preffrence doesnt CARE about objective quality as it doesnt really matter to that individual - we as humans are by and large SUBJECTIVE not objective people.
