Hey, I have found something whilst playing the game last night.
Have you heard about this story spoken by an islander, such an event which occurs when you talk with him in front of the station at Fisherman's Horizon? This story almost precisely came from The Door into Summer; a time-travel novel. A great read, I`d recommend it to anybody that is into time-travel.
This exact conversation occurs when you begin talking with him:
Just like Davis in the novel, who absolutely loves cats as well. His cat (Pete) is the only main friend he has, and apparently he trusts him more than anybody else.Quote:

Notice how his name got changed? Simply from Man to Psycho. Davis was just like that in the novel. He became crazy and begun taking revenge on certain persons who have betrayed him in the past.Quote:

Hence The Door into Summer ... 256 cats living in his house because all of them hate snow!Quote:
"My house, there's like 256 cats, yeah."
As for the '256' bit,
Did you get the joke of the message above? 8bit = 0 ~ 255 (total of 256) = 0xFF (16 decimal). Basically, you cannot go for more than 256 (or 255 if you exclude the zero number) in 8bit. Writing in a dialogue is unaffected because it does not interfere memory other than outputting that dialogue to the end user, that's how he can safety say 256. In other words, if you put 256 in 8 bit, that won't work. Any number more than 255 would be rendered as 16 bit.Quote:
Yeah, but what's weird is I can't count no more than that.
I cannot imagine living with 256 cats... I remember visting a guy`s house, he had around 15 cats at the time and man... that house was full of horse:bou::bou::bou::bou: smell!
Anyway, the '256' joke bit as well as the cat reference was obviously added by the programmer. Was that Nojima`s idea? I`m not so sure.
Davis appears to be identical to Ultimecia in terms of subplots and characterisations. The two characters both lack these things, isn`t that ironic?
Off-topic, I`m wondering if Nojima actually took the 'Rikki' name from the novel for Final Fantasy X? By the way, Rikki used to be Ricky`s nickname in her childhood times. Actually, this is probably nothing.
If you select 'No', he will call you a heartless son of a bitch! lol
I`ll add more information about this later if I have time.
[EDIT]- fixed something in this post due to some incorrections, my sorries.
