    Default Xenogears reference in FF7 (minor spoilers)

    When Cloud is recovering in Mideel, when you try talking to him, he just spouts gibberish. However, one of the things he says is:

    Compare this to a few of the lyrics to Xenogears' theme song, Small Two of Pieces:
    Broken mirror
    A million shades of light
    The old echo fades away
    But just you and I
    Can find the answer and then
    We can run to the end
    Of the word
    We can run to the end of the world

    Cold fire clenched to my heart
    In the blue of night
    Torn by this pain
    I'll paint your name in sound
    And the girl of the dawn
    With eyes of blues
    And angel wings
    The songs of the season
    Are her only crown
    Also, in the PC version of the game, the "zeno... gias..." part of Cloud's mumblings was changed to "xeno... gears..." making this reference even more obvious.

    PAL versions dialogue is so different and often better translated.

    PC and PAL are not the same abbreviation.

    Cool. That's a neat and interesting fact.

    VoodooChild, thanks for this awsome signature!
