| That's why this argument isn't going anywhere. I understand that the effect is the same for the game and it plays the same role, but you also understand that the two are different [one possesses consciously, one corrupts by supplying power to a greedy man]. The argument is going nowhere because I know that they play the same role in the games, but I think they're different enough for the Mask to be original because of what we've been over; you disagree. We're basically arguing about two viewpoints of the exact same thing.
I know what you're trying to say and I think you know what I'm trying to say so further argument probably won't really get us anywhere.
And I'm not "distressed" by AI's view on the situation. I simply disagree and I was arguing MY different viewpoint on the situation. I asked for thoughts, and I got thoughts, and then I stated why I disagreed and it ended up like this.
I still think that although the plot device is the same, the two are different, and I know you don't think this, and that's why there was argument in the first place. Woot and stuff.
Also the main difference in the game came from the masks and the moon and the three-day timespan and all of the differences in the game itself. The purpose of the object that supplies power to the baddie may not have been different, but the game was. Just because the sources of power are comparable doesn't mean the game was identical to all of the other Zelda games. The experience of playing Majora's Mask was different from that of other Zelda games. |
