I actually got a few rants and rambles and useful information stuff, too! Thank Kamitra ^_^


Kamitra:

Arcana,

I can only do some impromptu rambling, so here goes nothing (^^; but it's not
all that great).
(btw, I switch between Shitan and Citan alternatively)

I've noticed that there are two factions of fanfic writers...
There are those who think Yui died with Shevat's fall or something, and those
who think Yui just 'dissapeared' for awhile.  I think Yui's death is just an
excuse to pick on poor Shitan, who's now properly Available in status...  but
they have Yui alive just so she can be a character in a story.

I think I'll continue this later.

Here's another little ramble from Kamitra, and I think she makes a few interesting points. Kamitra, I think the fact that the sprites are all the same size is due to an oversight by the programmers. In older games like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger, the sprites there are the same size. In Star Ocean: Second Story, though, I noticed that the sprites are different heights.
Kamitra:

Okay, so it's not on the same subject, but I just read something of who reminds
them of someone else and all that stuff...  Well, here's what /I/ think...

Ever read The Heralds of Valdemar series, by Mercedes Lackey (one of my fav
authors)?  Well, Billy sorta reminds me of Karal, with the priestly, young
stuff ^^;.  Okay, so Karal's got black hair, and Billy's is white, and the fact
that Karal's probably gonna get married later... (dragged to the altar by
Natoli, heh heh!).  Karal wears much fancier clothes, and the fact that his
mentor was really nice, and that he (the mentor) died is concurrent with
Billy's story...  Their personality is really different too... ^_^

So my grammar's a bit off today...

Oh, and I learned a word that describes Citan's speech patterns (I learned
something from English, for once!)- circumlocution.  I memorized the example
too, but it's when you say something the looong way.  ie, "The outcome of the
game was not in our favor", instead of "We lost the game."  Fits, doesn't it?

Also, if you look really good, during the battle scenes, all the characters
(not only Maria, who is more obvious) seem to use Ether in their attacks.  It
could be to increase their attack power...

Includingly, I was discussing this with someone else, who also plays this
stuff, and we were throwing ideas around.  I came up with the following
excuses/explanations:
 */  I saw (on Guardian Angels, of course! ^^) that Primera's height is about 4
feet, but she's only about 6!  What's with that?  I wasn't the tallest person,
but I don't remember being that tall when I was that old, but that could just
be a memory problem.  I've noticed (with the sprite figs) that they all seem to
be the same height, so, I guess when Deus created the people, it could have
modified them to be taller, or that could've been just from human change.

 */  Billy's guns do so little damage.  That could just be because of that Dues
created the humans with a higher physical, uhh.... 'resistance', hence why
Elly's rod seems to work much better than her gun ^^;;

OH, gotta go.

I know some of you are really good at ranting. Well, I'll put a few quotes up here.

"I think, therefore I am."

-Descartes-

"It is too late for me now, my son."

-Darth Vader-

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"

    Whose woods these are I think I know.
    His house is in the village though;
    He will not see me stopping here
    To watch his woods fill up with snow.

    My little horse must think it queer
    To stop without a farmhouse near
    Between the woods and frozen lake
    The darkest evening of the year.

    He gives his harness bells a shake
    To ask if there is some mistake.
    The only other sound's the sweep
    Of easy wind and downy flake.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.
    And miles to go before I sleep.

    -Robert Frost
