Why is a giant chained up fish named after a psychological term referring to the masculine aspect of personalities of females?
Anima?

Don't laugh at people's pain, laugh at their face.
In latin, 'anima' means soul, wind or life. In the game, Anima is the dark Aeon, whose form is more like a big, corporeal banshee or other malevolent spirit than a fish, in my opinion.
also (SPOILER)the fayth for anima is female, so that may also be a reason
Being wise comes in two parts: 1) having a lot to say and 2) not saying it.

That or it sounds really cool.
and it's forever got the connotation of *PAIN* in my head.
*twitches*
For a fish mummy though, she's awful good looking. but her overdrive reminds me of an 80's movie's bad special effects
Anima is an aeon created from Seymour's mother by her own will to empower her son, not knowing he'll misuse the power. The name and image of Anima is very suitable because it represents the way Seymour sees and treats the human female part of his life, his mother.
Plus, "Anima" is too cool of a name to go unused at least once in every RPG.
Shouldn't that have been in spoiler tags?Originally Posted by Necronopticous
Anyway, to answer your question...I don't know :P.
Actually - and I think I've got this right - Anima is the feminine aspect of males and Animus is the masculine aspect of females.
Shameless plug: there was a GREAT comic book back in the early/mid-Nineties that dealt with this called ANIMA. Dig around the back issue bins at your local comic shop for it. Cheap and a hell of a good read.
Yes, in the moonlight she is even more beautiful...
Which is why Seymour always summons him.
"Praise be to Yevon. (not...)"

If you look up "anima" on dictionary.com it gives one of its definitions as this:
"3. In Jungian psychology, the feminine inner personality as present in the unconscious of the male."
So whatever Jungian psychology is, I guess that would be what Queen Anthai is referring to.
? you lost me with all of this science. my brains hurts.
Anima I nicknamed her death I didn't know that it meant something
"Swordchucks Yo." - Fighter
"Every time I cast Hadoken it siphons a little bit of love out of the world to create a massive destructive explosions. They say the divorce rate goes up with each cast." - BM
How many swords could sword chucks chuck if sword chucks could chuck swords? Same goes with Nuns! :rolleyes2
"I cast Ice-9!" -RM
"I can steal stuff that isn't even there" -Thief (Yet he can't steal in the game)
Seymour always Summoned her because she was his Mother. I believe the Fish looks owe more to the way Anima is chained up than to her Genuine appearance (which you see in her Overdrive).
Or it could be because she has fish lips and gils.
Just a hunch.
(plus she's on a hook)
Or maybe it's because she was called by a Salmoner...
