yes. yes i am.


also, in FFVI, the theme of earth is called "Terra". that being the main character's name is irrelevant, her theme is oh-so-slightly different and i cant find it in the spc collection i have =\

Aaaactually her name is Tina. "Tina" is an "exotic" name to the Japanese, so in the english translation they made it Terra, since Tina is a pretty common English name.

so then why did they name the overworld music after her? i dont get it.

The Overworld music and Terra's Theme are the same song, that's why. (only slight differentiations) The early part of the game focuses on Terra, so in the World of Balance, its her theme you hear on the Overworld map.

awesome! so you're immune to ice and alcohol intoxication no matter how much you drink! you're hair is like this and you're physically strong, you use the word "BLJAAAT" very often and generally swear a lot (even when doing sweet talking). you hope the UDSSR will be resurrected with it's awesome military parades, furthermore you're solving all problems in life with vodka and extreme violence, often while singing the the russian (sovjet) national anthem in your loud, choral voice.
you're an awesome guy, EP

oh how much I love racial prejudices

I always prefered the name Terra myself. I also find it amusing that it came up, cause I just started playing it again xD. I'm playing every FF from 6~12-11, and I made a self emposed challenge that I won't get 13 until I finish them all.

Wow. Hats off to you if you manage that. I doubt I'd ever have the patience to do a tour de force of FF. Even only half the series.

I know I won't really feel the rage til I get to X, cause it's the only one I never beat. and I figure by the time I finish all these games not only will XIII be out, but will probably have gone through a price drop or 2.

Do you plan on also playing sequels Dirge of Cerberus and FFX-2? Or just the core games?

[Dark_Gaia]

ah i never finished ffx either. i got over it after the first fight against sin lol. my least favourite of all the ff games.

X-2 yes, DoC no. I also recently beat Crisis Core.

As far as X goes, it's my 2nd favorite FF, beaten only by 6. It has, bar none, the best story in the entire series. I'm just not the biggest fan of the combat system. That and both Tidus and Jecht kick ass in Dissidia, which I also have xD.
