The way he drops like a sack of potatoes
This game is god damn funny
I've kinda always been surprised that this line was meme-ified into the stratosphere.
Isn't it barely a half-step away from the "Mama Bear" idioms that Americans use? Like the idea that you never get between a mother and her child?
Also, isn't some flavor of "moms are tough" a Japanese idiom?
It all just seemed so innocuous to me.

I see the reception as more endearing.
Like it's a silly line, but it's good silly.
Never has something so simply summarized my thoughts on something I dislike.
My contribution is lengthier, but everything about it is horrible (loved the game though).
Lmao, what in the world.
These are killing me
no
Please explain in great detail. If you could write me an essay on the importance of male dominance, females reliance on babies and how taking orders from someone is better than doing what you think is right in the moment, that would be great.
I expect to hear back from you by the end of the day.
I totally did not have the context for this line when I first played FF13. When I actually encountered it in game, I was like "Wait, THIS is where that meme came from?" It wasn't even delivered with any kind of silliness.
I still sometimes reference this with my friends IRL, and it never fails to crack us up.
"You fucked up my face!"
I always just chalked it up to people wanting to find an easy excuse to rip on 13. She dies a little bit later, but like, the whole point of the scene is that they're not movie stars, since the scene starts with Snow completely fucking it up cause he's a dumbass.
People definitely over-reacted, but it is still a somewhat memorable line beyond the meme interest.
It would be somewhat bearable if she said it only once, but she had to repeat that dumb line as if it was great writing, that's what pushed it too far for me. Also the line was a great introduction to the incredibly shitty writing of FF13 as a whole, at that point I knew what I would have to suffer through.
I hated every single character in that game as soon as they opened their mouth.
God, I just... can't believe what I just saw... Jesus Christ, it's bad...
I really hated Hope and his mom
But lol I remember that line to this day so square enix knew what they were doing

I love that line. That mother picked up a gun and shot people to protect her kid. Moms ARE tough.
There's another one in FFXIII that really cemented to me the writers had no real life experience and were just word salad'ing things they heard in various shounen anime:
Hope: As long as it's us making the decision, even if it's the wrong one, then we'll have no regrets.
Actually, it is precisely when you have control over the decision and it's wrong that you should have regrets. I mean I get it, this is supposed to be a statement against fate, but it's such an incredibly dumb way of articulating it.
