Thread: The new kid is called Hope

    Took me a while to find out Larsa was a boy, and after I found out my respect rose a hundred times when it meant that he basically told his guards that Penelo was his, bought and paid for.

    Anyway between Snow and Lightning, Hope wouldn't be to cringeworthy a name.

    Hope is not a boy's name.

    Hope? Universal or not, it's still mainly, overwhelmingly a girl's name.

    Meanwhile, any news on his Eidolon? Lightning has Odin (which is weird, since I'd expect a thunder-based one for her), Snow has Shiva, Vanille (supposedly) has Carbuncle, Sazh has Brynhildr, and Fang has Bahamut. What's Hope's gonna be, I wonder?

    It may actually be Alexander.

    Angry Grumble

    It Is. YES! I Alexander.

    And what the hell is wrong with him?

    I think the pairing fits. His name can be associated with holiness, and Alexander is of the holy element.

    Hope = Holy? Maybe very loosely in English because they both start with "H" and have four letters.

    And I think part of the shame is that FF main characters have in many of the last half of the FF saga been either annoying (Squall, Tidus) or afterthoughts (Vaan). Though who knows how this hero will turn out.

    I'd love it if this guy turned out to be the most loved character in the history of FF now.

    That spot has already been taken...

    (SPOILER)

    If you disagree you are obviously wrong and unaware of it, but still wrong.

    Sorry, Wolf. Even from IX's characters, Vivi is only the second place most awesome character (after Beatrix).

    Anyway, I'm holding off judgement on Hope until we see a bit more about him. It really rocks that Alexander is making a comeback, though. I missed him in X and the Ivalice Alliance games.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I'm sorry to both of you, I laid my foot down. Its Vivi, sex appeal and Beatrix can't beat total awesomness.

    No, because holy = light, and having hope in dark times can provide a bright spot during those dark times. Also, if holy refers to religion, then one has hope in one's requisite deity (depending on religion). Should've been clear with that, but the hour was fairly late.
