enix made chrono trigger? who knew?

this man was a strange on. he walked in very quietly and began browsing the ps1 section. we asked if there was anything we could help him with. when he spoke, he kept his spine strait and his eyes looked right at you, but they seemed to be looking beyond you, if you catch my drift. overall, very creepy guy.

"I want every final fantasy game. on the ps1. what do you have."

i begin explaining all the different ps1 compilations available and trying my best to explain to him the numbering situation with these games. after about 5 minutes of solid talk on my part i stop to catch my breath and let him pitch his 2 cents in.

"so......is there one with final fantasy game that has 1-5, because thats what i want."

I begin to re-explain myself on the ff number situation, and tell him which versions he should be looking for if he wants MOST of 1-5. then.......more of that "beyond" stareing.

"so......is there one with final fantasy game that has 1-5, because thats what i want."

*internal sigh*

"nope, sorry, they don't make that."

"oh i see."

then from out of no where.

"Squaresoft is the best company ever, and when enix bought them, they got 10 times better."

what? huh?
"actually square bought out enix."

he didn't like this at all.

"UM..NO, the first game enix work on that they MADE Square let them was chrono trigger!"

normally i'd let this lie slid but no one disrespects my favorite snes games like that. but i give him a opportunity to correct himself with a less foolish sounding mistake.

"are you sure you don't mean chrono cross? because that would sound a lot less foolish, granted its still wrong though."

"nope! chrono trigger."

i decide its a knowledge/name throwing contest at this point.

"no actually you're wrong, but don't feel to bad. akira toriyama worked on the dragon warrior/quest games and he did do the art for chrono trigger so I understand how confusing it can be if you're not up on your game trivia."


more of the "beyond" stares, but i see a little anger behind them. pity. if only he didn't open his mouth when he knew his brain couldn't back it up, none of this would have happened.
