Thanks darkmaelstrom, I appreciate it. I'd also like to thank you guys for being supportive-- i'm sort of an RPG newbie and I've only played FF7 and Xenogears. A few of the people i've asked questions about FF7 to have been really arrogant and acted like i was a dumb*ss because i don't know everything about the game, you probably know the type. So i was pleasantly surprised with your guys' demeanor. Thanks again
