not my favourite, but it's very close to my heart. n_n i remember back in my EoFF early years i would do nothing but blindly praise it, kinda like a majority of thread's original post. it gave me warm fuzzies being able to re-experience the int+lm content in (but in english) so many years later.

ps: there's nothing that states pain is gay, she's compartmentalizing most of her emotions for a chunk of the game. but yes i know you weren't referring to her cheery demeanor. she (until confirmed by her creators) merely has a short, spunky hairdo. the only different thing about her default clothes is that they're black, rather than the normal warmth you get from spiran attire. whatever information there is pertaining to her sexuality remains her business (canonically). in a final fantasy game stereotypes are very specific (a shining example is the bath house in VII).
