    I've said this on this forum about three times already. Way to be rude, Momiji.
    Um youtube much? Some people show funny fake lyrics of backwards music on the video screen.

    EDIT- Why am I feeding the trolls?

    Serapy, I didn't know you were hearing impaired either, so I can understand why Momiji might not know. A few off-hand mentions aren't always evident.

    But now that we do know, I hope we will all be a little more respectful.

    Don't be so snippy, Jussie

    Wow, I'm completely losing hope in humanity at this exact moment. Well done!

    Um, sorry to hear that but as I have said, you're off the wall in your theories thus I don't know whether you mean this to be a legitimate theory or you're just trolling for the fun of it.

    YouTube wouldn't help because he(?) would still need to HEAR what is said.

    Also, how the HELL you concider Serapy revealing that he(?) is deaf to be TROLLING I'll never know! To be honest, I really don't see how you concider his(?), mine, or any other theories trolling - HE'S JUST SPREADING AN OPINION!!! He interepretted a part of the game a certain way, and is posting it to see how we all reacted, and to share his view with us! How is that trolling? Did Serapy go on record to say that FF games where crap? No he did not!

    It should. St. Cyril based the alphabet used for many Slavic languages on Greek.

    Your definition of trolling is way off. If I actually share my theories with honesty, it doesn't mean I'm trolling.

    Absolutely none of that is needed for trolling.
    In fact, the definition of troll is purely ' someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.'

    Even if Serapy isn't a troll, his basing of theories on nothing is also something that should not be fed.

    But he doesn't base his theories on nothing. This one especially seams to be probably the most obvious one he's done (mostly because he took a picture.)

    No theories I have read here so far have been based on nothing. I'm sure Serapy doesn't mind a debate (If I'm wrong Serapy, please say) but it's irelovant to say he bases them on nothing. The same goes with another member of this forum. Who's threads I still enjoy reading.

    There being a picture of greek text doesn't mean there's MEANING to the greek text, especially when none of that text makes actual words. For example, there's a neon sign that says Texas in FF7. That doesn't mean there's a place called Texas in FF7 or any meaning, AT ALL, to this sign.

    And FE's nonsense IS based utterly on nothing.

    That's fair enough and I do agree with you on this, there probably isn't any meaning on the text, but the argument was he doesn't base it on nothing - he looked up the text, found out what it meant, and saw that it could potentially fit the storyline. It may be wrong, but it's not based on nothing - I have a lot of Theories that have been proven wrong, but they where all based on something. It's just that I interpetted the "somethings" wrong.

    And I do see a lot of solid evidence with FE's theories (again that doesn't mean they're correct, but I can see where he gets them from.)

    What staggers me though, is that you knew who I was talking about!

    But that text DOESN'T have a meaning. It's a random jumble of letters. At one point, it comes close to having a single word that's relevant, but it's not actually that word.

    It may be wrong, but it's not based on nothing - I have a lot of Theories that have been proven wrong, but they where all based on something. It's just that I interpetted the "somethings" wrong.
    And that's fine. It's continuing on after the 'something' is gone that makes it based on nothing.

    And I do see a lot of solid evidence with FE's theories (again that doesn't mean they're correct, but I can see where he gets them from.)
    I can see where they come from too, but that doesn't mean they are concrete. He 'gets' the time is divided into several distinct geographic regions idea from the color test in Esthar. He 'gets' that the party is propagators based on 'personality traits' of propagators that aren't there. He 'gets' that the propagators aren't dead based on a blink cycle that simply isn't there. He 'gets' that Ellone is a robot and Rinoa is the real Ellone based on... Nada. He continues to base ever more grandiose theories on unsupported and completely tenuous theories that are unsupported. He jumps from fanciful notion to fanciful notion, acting as if the fanciful notions are support instead of further things to be validated.
    THAT is what basing theories on nothing is.

    What staggers me though, is that you knew who I was talking about! :D
    How could I not? I remember debating with him.

    Thanks to my Greek friends,

    The Ancient Greek version of κορε = Young girl or maiden.
    The Modern Greek version of κορε = Daughter

    There's a very good chance that SquareSoft doesn't know enough Greek, or hire Greek translators for that matter. You know if you change the language of your Input keyboard to Greek, you'll have some hard time putting exact Greek characters to finish a word.

    Proof: they kind of did the same thing to Latin on the paintings in Ultimecia's castle. The Latin words on the painting are spelt correctly BUT the Latin sentences are wrong.

    This is very simple because if it's just a ID thing or something out of random, SquareSoft could have put more disoriented Greek characters that means absolutely nothing what so ever, FAR from 'Young girl', 'Maiden', or 'Daughter'. These words are actually relevant in the world of VIII.
