However, a couple longtime Final Fantasy fans on...

Nope. Alas, I don't get many anymore: maybe about a dozen, most of them quite small (although some parents had great costumes too).

It is a sad world where it is safer to take kids to...

40 minutes to an hour? Good heavens.
I usually get the Venus Sigil in about 20 minutes, parked just north of the trough-path leading to the travel agency. Lightning strikes about once every 2...

1. The game never states how long Calms were. We know they were short, because SIn has returned within ten years.

The game gives us the following evidence:
-- At last year's tournament, Wakka got...

The odd thing is that I've gotten to where I just use sphere shot and ignore Jecht Shot entirely, because of the cutscene giving you time to get off only one shot. I can get off two with sphere shot,...

Oh, gosh, now I wish I had a Steiner figure. Great reference. :)

*shows off ridiculous gamer nerd pumpkin carving skillz*

Remember my Snowcobo, snow Auron and snow Yuna from last Christmas?

Well, it is time for me to try a pumpkin.

HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!

Very few of the characters in FFVIII were old enough to shave, so no surprise there.

Nonetheless, despite the fact that it's hard to get details of stubble, there are stubbly or bearded characters...

Shattered Dreamer: That was actually part of why I loved the ending of FFX the most. It was a non-standard, non-clichéd storybook ending, much like the end of LOTR, where the world is saved, but not...

Ah, but that's what I love most!

In fact that's what made me curious enough to create my own transcript of FFX! Well, that, and Shotgunnova's wonderful script, which had about 95% of the NPC...

Shiva makes me laugh.

I think it really IS Shiva. He's a major trickster god, in some stories. He usually shows up as male, but he can be hermaphrodite or even put on a female avatar when it suits...

The only figure I've ever had a slight urge to buy is the 1/6th Lulu. But a) they keep refusing to bring out the Trading Arts version, which only seems to be available as bootleg imitation and b)...

Last call, Phloston Paradise, hurry up! :D

Predictably, since my root Final Fantasy is X, I lurve me some black mages.
No, not the cleavage. The firepower. All my battles look like this by the time Rikku joins the party:

Tidus: *ping*...

Wow. I hated Gold Saucer, Hot and Cold, Frog Hunting, Tetra Master and LeBlanc's Horrible Lesbian Parody (give me MY girlfriend, not this creep!) Just goes to show you how much different things...

Mythology makes me jump into a thread.

Guardian XIII -- I love your insight that despite the industrial trappings of FFVII, it is very medieval in outlook in the sense of a stagnant status quo...

I always had the hunch the Garif and Viera have a festival every 500 years where they get stone drunk on Bacchus' wine, reproduce, and the Viera schlep all the boys out to the Garif village after...

Vaan just has that weird scarab thing that looks like a Babylon 5 parasite stuck to the base of his spine.

And weird abs.

There's not as much you can do with that as you can potholders and...

Thanks to you people, I have finally seen a tiny snippet of the insanity that is Twilight. I have never read the books, never seen the films or so much as a trailer, so I got to watch the "Edward is...

While on prednisone for a dangerous sinus infection (not very contagious, just couldn't BREATHE), I attempted to make pumpkin pie.

My pumpkin pies contain a large quantity of ginger, cinnamon, and...

This is a totally silly thread.

Just in case you hadn't encountered this page before, I wanted to recommend to you the following essay on...

The Fashion Disaster That is Basch in FFXII

Yeah! Yeah!

I guess after reading everyone's responses, I'm finally coming to understand why these are called RPGs. As an old RPer who started with D&D in '78, I was put off by the term, thinking,...

I was just thinking about what people define as "hardcore" gaming: stats maxing, getting ultimate weapons, breeding the ultimate chocobo, beating all the optional bosses in monster arenas and the...

There were so many complaints about FFX voice actors attempting to lip synch to the Japanese mouth movements. Their performances suffered.

(Did they synch better in XII or not? I can't remember.)...
