    I've played FF 7 and beaten it.  Great game in its time.  But this has really got me bothered.

    I don't mean to hate, but Shinra Electric Power Company as a concept???  C'mon.  Health is a concept.  Menus is a concept.  Character creation, save points, first person - these are concepts of a video game.  Shinra Electric Power Company???  It's an organization.  It's like a Macguffin.

    How many games are gonna have this as a concept?  Only games within the FF 7 story.

    Maybe Giantbomb should have a new category that groups things like Shinra EPC and Koopa together.  To me, that would make much more sense.  They could call it...uh, Groups, Classes, Clusters, Hierarchies, Syndicates...Posses?

    The help page says this about concepts:

    "Concepts are the most loosely defined data type, serving as kind of a catch-all for pages and associations that don't currently fit into one of the other data types, such as a race of creatures, a specific in-game event, character abilities, and gameplay characteristics."

    Therefore, it is in the right place. Although I think gameplay characteristics should be separated from everything else, since they seem to be taking up most of the concepts page, so that would leave the concepts page more balanced. Although they did say in last weeks bombcast that they might separate the concepts section out a bit, and its only a beta at the moment, you don't expect everything to be perfect just yet.

    I really need to get around to beating FF7, I've made like 6 attempts to play the whole thing, but I just keep losing interest. >_<
