Swords, Fireballs, and Singed Fur

   Okie so I got home today from work only to find out my net connection was being spazzy and slow. Now normally this would drive me nuts and I would suffer from internet withdraws. Since I have only really recently regained my ability to even think of getting online it doesn't effect me quite so bad, gimme a few months I'm sure this will be fixed. Anyways I decided to sign on msn on my phone, and play some old snes games.
   Now I suppose you could call me a gamer. My favorite genre is RPG's thought I also play other kinds too. As I set there playing one of my Final Fantasy games I start thinking. Seven out of ten times when playing this type of game there is that legendary person/creature that you heard about all through the game. Said person/creature is said to have godly strength and have defeated armies or leveled cities by its self, or so all the rumors say. Now here's where things can get interesting. In some games you never ever see or hear from this legend. In other games you not only see them but either fight or join them. Sometimes both. Now I know what you're thinking: How can you possibly fight this legendary, godly person/creature?? Well for those of you who don't game. Normally said encounter can end one of few ways. Either: a) Person/creature crushes you and leaves you for dead or b) They feel sorry for you and refuse to kill you or c) You end up thrashing it easily.... Now if you get hit with A you have the long drawn out annoying/amazing ending boss battle later. If you get B or C well either one usually ends with the legendary whatever it is joining you, which is the biggest let down ever. Why? Cause apparently once it/he/she joins you it/he/she becomes a normal mortal whatever it is. Not just that but usually the legendary thing is a few levels BELOW your characters leaving you with the biggest wtf moment ever. You will be left staring at them wondering how exactly they just took you 6+ hours and untold amounts of potions and revives to beat.
