Thinking harder about the Ahnold name, I can't help but wish that something like Shivanator would fit.

I'm sorry, what? For a minute there I thought I was in the Skyrim thread.  Did the first poster to say gently caress elves think they were too? Where did this actually come from? Or is it a Drakengard joke I'm missing?

So how did Al Bhed work in Japanese? I'm noticing a lot of substitutions are to a voiced/non-voiced equivalent of the same letter, which in Japanese look the same except for a small modifier. Or is that just for pronouncability and it's more scrambled in the original?

ApplesandOranges posted:It uses kana instead, and has 47 characters instead of 26 (although two characters are exactly the same between Japanese and Al Bhed). In-game it's written using katakana. I was thinking in terms of what is ciphered to what because if it was similar to English Al Bhed would look near identical to Japanese but I can just look up a chart myself  Although that does make me wonder, did the Japanese version have more guides (speaking of I thought each set of kana had 46, not 47? Is it using one of the old Japanese characters that aren't used anymore?) or multiple characters per guide?

And of course Rikku's not just Al Bhed, she has to be the daughter of their leader because JRPG devs will commit suicide before making a playable character just a normal person. E: VVV Not unexpected, in fact quite the opposite, just typical.

Was that nuclear ordinance, right down to making a mushroom cloud, in a Japanese game?  Maybe it looks more like conventional explosives in motion but-Actually using taboo technology is supposed to be the Al Bhed's whole thing isn't it? Well played, Square.  In general the anti-traditionalism theme of the game is unusual for something written by Japanese people but (with the note that this is my first time experiencing the game) this update really made me realise it. Huh. Sorry if this got a little rambling, I realised the second paragraph as I was typing the first.

Ki and Isis (oops ) from SaGa 2 both seemed like fairly proactive members/deities of a good guy religion but the religion isn't the focus and there's no big bad religion. Also my entire knowledge of that game comes from a half-remembered narrative LP so someone else could probably provide better detail than me.

SarahSyna posted:Isn't that the exact backstory of Awakening? Yeah (it comes up in like chapter 5 or 6 so I won't bother with tags), the reason Emmeryn is a pacifist is to try to make up for her father's crusades against Plegia, though that's more the one bad apple than standard Exalt behaviour.

Variant_Eris posted:There's a reason why it's called "Dissidia: Final Fantasy", and it ain't because it's the final fantasy in a Final Fantasy franchise. Er, did you mean the Final Fantasy in a Dissidia franchise? Man, if only. E:VVV Now I'm confused as to who means what. I meant that I thought you implied that it's the Dissidia entry in Final Fantasy, not the Final Fantasy entry to a hypothetical awesome Dissidia series, so of course there wouldn't be other IPs in there, but you made a typo and out Final Fantasy twice.

If you go through the Black Omen, Zeal is kinda sorta part of the final boss rush and one hell of a lot more human and voice-actable than the screeching St. Bernard in a spacesuit.

Was there ever actually any resolution to the revelation that Yuna will die? Tidus punched Kazooie a bit and then we got distracted by Home blowing up. Or does that come after we finish rescuing her?

Bguy32 posted:Maybe people just really don't care about Machina and Wakkas the exception Lulu and Kimahri are also followers of Yevon, and they don't bat an eye at hypocritical use of Machina, especially Operation Mi'hen, or Rikku's being Al Bhed.
