Just gonna comment quickly on the last few posts in the thread:
1. Balthier doesn't have a "British accent"; there's no such thing. The UK (United Kingdom) comprises four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In each of these countries, there exists a multitude of different regional accents. E.g., in England, there is (to name a few) Scouse (from Liverpool), Geordie (Newcastle), Cockney (East London), Janner (Plymouth - where I'm from - but, thankfully, I DON'T have the accent!!!), etc. Balthier sounds like he comes from somewhere in the South East of England; one of the Home Counties. It drives me mad when I hear/see ignorant people saying things like "...from Britain and Scotland..." Er...hello!!! Scotland is a part of Britain!!!
2. Don't like Balthier's plummy, CAMP!, posh-boy accent.... More on that, later....
3. Getting tired of all the crude jokes about Fran, that I've been seeing on other message boards. Don't like her accent, either.
I found a MUCH bigger version of the gorgeous Yoshida drawing of Fran and Balthier; think it's a scan from the art book. I've attached it to this post.
