Doma Railway

[Captain Maxx Power]

This is the worst thread ever created in this forum.

I hate all of you.

Ah come on now, it's not that bad.

But there is a strong correlation between sex in the South Figaro trees and pee-pee trains running in Phantom Forests that can't be denied.

Damn straight, the whole things a great big conspiracy if you ask me. I reckon the Adlai E. Stevenson guy's got something to do with it 'n' all.

Why did this get stickied? o_O

There's not much else going on in the FFVI forum right now.

I have unstickied this thread. Please continue to discuss the Doma Railway.

You guys are overthinking it, I seriously doubt Square even has an official answer.

It's just a haunted railway in which a particularly cool scene takes place; whether or not it has a history before the events of the game is beyond the game's canon.

I agree. I think that maybe there may be a reference to it in some kind of Japanese source material booklet or something, too — the idea of something unexplained in the game being explained in a source material booklet is fairly common.

I believe the doma trains use to lead to Nikeah, you can get there by land with a chocobo and as a trading route it makes sense because nikeah has a sea port.

Now on a less serious note

The whole thing is a metaphor about life, love, and passion.

More specifically, the train is my peep and the forest is your mom.

So your peep is dead then?
Trying to give it life just kills it more.

If my peep is dead then your mom is dark and dank.

The metaphors are overwhelming.
