i can see the similarities but i still dunno what ur getting at. i don't understand the point of this lol, just that the shapes of the hexagon slightly match the world map. it's either a coincidence or something that doesn't matter lol. but that's just my opinion, i really wanna hear ur explaination or theory, except in a simplified way that i can understand cuz i'm not sure where ur going with this...

Panels 1, 3, and 5 are all exactly the same shape (trapezoidal).

Panels 2, 4, and 6 are all the same shape (pentagonal).

If the colors don't matter then any of three panels can be matched to a given geographic region (except panel 0).

You have WAY too much time on your hands.

Just jumping onto your crazy train of thought for the moment.....why do you consider Balamb and Trabia to be grouped into one continent, when Balamb is an Island, and has the same barriers as the rest (i.e. mountains and ocean). As well, the island where Shumi Village is located is separated by mountains, and ocean. Therefore, Balamb and Shumi Island should have the same types of barriers, to keep your little study consistent. We don't see this on the colour panels. If this were consistent, there would have to be separate panels representing Balamb and Shumi.

I guess you must be ignoring this little detail (which you often do, of course) to make this little study work.

I'm afraid to ask what the point of this is.........

I kind of see what your getting at, but what relevance does this have to the game or the plot?

**liamo** · 08-08-2005, 03:05 PM

shoulda run when we had the chance -.-

I couldn't quite see it, so I drew the hexagon over the map as best as I could.

I'm not entirely sure it makes sense to divide up continents this way.

It doesn't.

Nice work though.

I seriously do not have a clue about what this thread is about besideds the fact that he thinks the panels resemble continents.

Thanks.

Credit where credit is due though, I agree with Future Esthar about three of the dividing lines:

The line between panels 1 & 2 divides Galbadia from Trabia.
The line between panels 4 & 5 divides Esthar from Centra.
The line between panels 5 & 6 divides Centra from Winhill.

Those are sensible divisions since they correspond to narrow channels and bodies of water that separate the continents.

The other three lines run straight through the middle of the continents and I don't understand his explanation of why they should count.

**Sir Bahamut** · 08-08-2005, 11:56 PM

None of it counts. It doesn't mean anything. There are hundreds of other roundish objects in the game which can be compared to the world map, but that doesn't mean they have any relevance at all. It's like seeing a lamp post and comparing it to the Lunar Cry because the monsters drop to earth in a shape resembling a sylinder, and the main bit of the lamp post is shaped as a sylinder. :rolleyes2

**G SpOtZ** · 08-08-2005, 11:58 PM

Thank you, Sir. B.

but i'm still interested in seeing what future esthar is trying to do with this...

**Necronopticous** · 08-09-2005, 01:10 AM

Future Esthar, darling, don't ever change.

**Buster Sword Strike** · 08-09-2005, 01:41 AM

Even if they are similar, what does it matter?
