I have a few questions about Final Fantasy VI. Observing Amano's works, I've been looking over the 'familiars' hovering around the characters. Ever notice that spiky ball that floats near Terra in some of the drawings? Cool, as far as I know, each character in FF6 (and many other FFs) have an Amano representation and a small creature that follows them around. I've never noticed this in FF6 but, it's definitely in Amano's art.
So I play this other game :eek: I know. It's called Guild Wars (http://www.guildwars.com). Kinda like FFXI only, you don't pay monthly payments (and no chocobos lol). Well, being an FFVI fan, I had to name my GW characters after FF6 characters. Guild Wars introduced a 'feature' in the game a while ago where 'miniature pets' follow you around, in and out of towns or battle. Other than very, very minor advantages in battle, they are purely just for giggles.

Here's where you come in: Minipets from Guild Wars = Creature-Friends from Amano. What Minipet should I give to which FF6 character; resembling the Amano counterpart the most. (trying not to use the same pet twice, but I will if it seems fitting)

First, go to this link: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mini
(http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mini)
Refer names from this link to the list below.

If you forget or don't have Amano's FF6 stuff, just google it or try this gallery: http://adunaph3l.net/atma/thumbnails.php?album=6
(this gallery has several photoshopped images, so use discretion)

Here's what I [want], (have) and what i {don't know yet and need you to pick something appropriate in relation to Amano's work}.

Terra - [Miniature Greased Lightning] (Kirin)
Locke - [Asura -moogle? (http://www.guildwars.com/press/asurapet.php)]
Edgar - (Kuunavang)
Shadow - (Jade Armor), Shadow already has a normal sized pet named Interceptor
Rachel - {There is a normal sized pet of 'phoenix', but I couldn't bring it along effectively because of her class}
Relm - {only seen 1 amano work with a little chocobo caricature} (Pig)
Cyan - {no clue}
Kefka - {no clue} (could delete for another character if someone wants to design; Must be Necromancer class)
Gogo - (Temple Guardian)
Celes - {Bird?}
Sabin - (Hydra)

(Umaro could be a minipet himself (Yeti), but I don't know where to put him if I had him. I probably can't acquire that minipet anyway :cry:)

If you are curious about how my characters look/operate in relation to FF6: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/User:OhYo

I may make a Gau character someday. Sabin and Celes aren't even created yet, but I'm waiting for the next campaign to come out. I have no plans to make Setzer, Strago or Umaro, yet. I would have made Banon as my healer character but beards didn't come out in GW until recently; I'm not making another healer, I can't change my character name and I cant grow a beard in-game. :D

I await your opinions in great anticipation! (sheesh long post)

I've always wanted to try GW, is it that good?

I love it. One thing that attracts me is the fact that there's no need to power-level your characters up to 99 or w/e. The level cap is 20, which took me time to get over, so instead of your health being 5000, normal hp is around 500. GW did their math; many ppl like seeing more 0's on the end because they think they're 'bigger' numbers, but if the monsters are getting just as proportionately stronger, it only gets as hard as how many hours you put in to reach those levels. Why spend time farming for more experience when you can do fun stuff with your guild, etc...

GW is challenging as many high level monsters go to level 32+; GW is about skill, not time spent.

(Hay, I can't even figure out any minipet for cyan or kefka ! Does anyone know what follows them around?)
