[「黑風影」]

Over the years, I've come across some cool & memorable video game quotes from time to time.
I was wondering if you guys have some that seems to stand out through the ages of time that you would like to share.
Here are some that are just off the top of me head ....

• "This is the Round Table Deadman's words hold no meaning" - ACE COMBAT
• 「あなたは何のために戦うていのですか」
  What are you fighting for?
  「この戦いの向こうに, 答えはあるのか。」
  Will there an answer beyond this battle?" - Armored Core fA
• "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh."
  (Magus) - Chrono Trigger
• "...We loved so many, yet hated so much.
  We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
  Yet even then, we ran like the wind...." - Chrono Cross
• "The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days..." (Sheik) - Legend of Zelda OoT
• "Strength without determination means nothing, and determination without strength is equally useless."
  - (Godo) - Final Fantasy VII
• "No matter what you are, even if you have tens or hundreds of million of lives, it won't matter.
  In any case, the dream is over. Here I come- As long as it exists, I'll prove that can kill even if its a god!" (Ryougi Shiki) - Melty Blood Actress Again

Will add on when I think of more....

"TRY AGAIN"

[Katzilla]

"An elderly man was sitting alone on a dark path, right? He wasn't certain of which direction to go, and he'd forgotten both where he was traveling to and who he was. He'd sat down for a moment to rest his weary legs, and suddenly looked up to see an elderly woman before him. She grinned toothlessly and with a cackle, spoke: 'Now your *third* wish. What will it be?'"
"'Third wish?' The man was baffled. 'How can it be a third wish if I haven't had a first and second wish?'"
"'You've had two wishes already,' the hag said, 'but your second wish was for me to return everything to the way it was before you had made your first wish. That's why you remember nothing; because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes.' She cackled at the poor berk. 'So it is that you have one wish left.'"
"'All right,' said the man, "I don't believe this, but there's no harm in wishing. I wish to know who I am.'"
"'Funny,' said the old woman as she granted his wish and disappeared forever. 'That was your first wish.'"
- Morte, Planescape: Torment

Game Over.

Interesting, Melty Blood quote.

Ever read Shingetsutan Tsukihime or the sequel, Melty Blood? One interesting thing about this that I'm not sure I've ever seen anywhere else: Shingetsutan Tsukihime is a seinen manga, but the sequel, Melty Blood, is shounen.

Manga site, so it seemed relevant

I''ve played and read tsukihime + kagetsu tohya =D also read melty blood.
The differentiation I think is due the nature of tsukihime dealing with more serious mature settings (sex a cat is fine too, killing, mind of a sociopath, etc.) in more detail. Where as Melty Blood can be seen as unlocking mystery, beating the bad guy(dealing with monsters rather than human) and more humor less heavy, where little kids could relate to a little better without full understanding.

Pretty much outlining why they're seinen/shounen, what I meant to convey is that it's strange enough for a canon work in a series to change genres, but to go from a more mature genre to a less mature one is practically unheard of, because the people who'd find one appealing may not like the other. It works in shounen -> seinen because it's the growth of the series as a whole, but vice versa is bizarre. Not saying it's a bad thing, just that it's interesting enough to point out and rather unique.

a cat is fine too

I've heard this one before, did it originate from Tsukihime?

Also the start of a meme Good times...

@bushwacker2k: I agree, for me as well I find it plently interesting alright =9 Although I would understand why people may refrain from reading melty bood or not consider it as official due the change in atmosphere.
Yes, a cat is fine too meme is link to a ecchi doujin from Hiroyuki, the mangaka that did Mangaka-san to Assistant-san.
You can find the entire translated doujin here http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/240.

I've actually read this before, I had thought this might be the source, but I couldn't tell.

FYI: anyone who is interested but wondering why the link isn't working, remove the period.

"The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Yes, the arcana is the means by which all is revealed. Attaining one's dream requires a stern will and unfailing determination." - Nyx Avatar, Persona 3

^ Curse you! Reminding me how awesome those Ace Attorney games were might just make me dig up my DS!

Anyway, I was replaying Mass Effect 2 when I realized how awesome this quote is:

"Mess with someone's head enough, you can turn a scared little kid into an all powerful bitch." - Jack

It explains about half of my favorite fictional characters ever. Not sure if that means anything about my personality...

Part of the GTA IV dialogue that cracks me up during the final mission:
Niko: Alright, we follow him back to Pegorino, then we cut his fucking
fingers off.
Jacob: Seen me bredren, seen.
Roman: What type of sick bastards have I gotten into a car with? I'm speeding
into oncoming traffic! I'm being shot at and all I have for company are
two gangsters discussing the finer points of torture. This is great,
just great. How's married life, Roman? It's really relaxing, thanks for
asking.
Jacob: At least ya not dead and ting.
Roman: Not yet.
Niko : You asked to be here, Roman. Now that you are on board, I do not want
these complaints.
Roman: Okay, cousin, okay. I was just saying, be safe is all. Not crushed by
an oncoming truck or something. Dead men can't get revenge.

Roman is hillarious.

Very surprised none mentions the legendary Andrew's Ryan death scene from Bioshock.
"A man chooses, a slave obeys"

Really the scene is beyond epic, you don't even need to play the game to realize that.
If you haven't seen it, do it now, you won't regret it.
