Fascinating read, especially the parts about Vivi, Quina and Amarant that I didn't know.

Would like to know if there is anything more to Oeilvert or Ipsen's Castle, the names seem so unique it puzzles me why there's nothing more to them in the game.

Also, I believe Gulug's stone comes from Mt. Gulug or however it's been retranslated from Final Fantasy I, the Fire Shrine/Temple if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for posting it, I look forward to reading some of the other ones you mentioned in your thread in General Final Fantasy about this.
