Don't you miss when games used to use american numbers as opposed to Roman numerals? I do.

It's almost like game companies are afraid people will notice how many sequels they're shitting out.
>>
you mean in the 90s when final fantasy was already doing that
or now, when final fantasy is still the only one doing that
>>
huh? What backwards place do you live that no one understands Roman numerals?

most series don't go numbered past 4 anyway
at that point you either reboot, make a sub-series or drop the numbering altogether

I don't understand if that's Mega Man 16, Mega Man X6 or Might&Magic 16

Or if Mega Man 16 or Might&Magic 16 even exist
>>
>>332609307
What? Most games these days either don't use a number or still use arabic numbers. Only Japan uses Roman numerals in that way, and yes because they shit out 3 sequels in one year and disgusting weebs like you buy them.

American public schools no longer teach Roman numerals. Why do you think the most recent Super Bowl was "Super Bowl 50" and not "Super Bowl L"?

Schools don't need to teach it, it's a very simple concept that can be learned by yourself in minutes.

I can't understand roman numerals past 20, and i probably never will because it's useless knowledge

Because "L" is a boring numeral for advertising. Where are all the Xs and Is?

Well damn, what was M then? When they start adding other letters is where they lose me, I guess I just kind of figured it was 20.

You so dumb.
Back In my super advanced math class we used to do algebraic equations with roman numbers, we were that badass.

It's not like we learned that we invented it, we just never learned that someone else did. That's just how the American education system is.
