Well, I seriously doubt SE spent much time dreaming up the names for their minor bosses in optional side quests (otherwise they'd have made their theatre a bit more representational, and not taken three from Russia, one from England, and one a character in a play rather than a playwright. I mean...

I did say we were waiting on Godo :desucait: I am pleased, though unsurprised, that my assumption TLS members are a cultured group of people who'd all get the reference turned out to be correct. I was particulaly interested in this: "The intention was that each opponent would speak in a...

I was asking on tumblr about the etymology of some Wutai place names, and recieved a reply that led me to this on the wiki "All the bosses in the Wutai Pagoda appear to have a link to theater. Shake is likely a shortened version of Shakespeare, the most famous English playwright. The intention...

Hey welcome back, missed you! I'm glad your life has been interesting, I hope in a good way.

All worlds have to end eventually. It's such a wierd change of direction for a villain who originally wanted to sail through the cosmos using the husk of the planet as his vessel. Did he reach that point and realise he'd been wrong all along?

Did they defeat fate, or did they make fate happen? I don't remember any watery passage. It never occured to me that that fight took place literally inside the Lifestream. Is that canon? Is the Aerith's world v Sephiroth's world canon? Is Zack in Sephiroth's world? Are there two Hojos? Wouldn't...

"he isn't in the Lifestream as we see it when the gang is inside of it on Aerith's side" When does the gang go into the Lifestream? What is 'Aerith's side'? What changes happened in the Remake timeline significant enough to require a 'balance', and how would reviving Zack or preventing his death...

I don't think the Remake has modified the ending of Crisis Core. That still exists, and the Remake doesn't render it non-canon. I think what the Remake offers us is an alternative ending. Where exactly that alternative exists in time and space remains to be determined. The Lifestream was...

I'm coming to the conclusion that in their world death means something different, and much less final, than it does in ours.

It would make more sense to write, "The gaviscon quenched my pain" than to write "The gaviscon quenched me". However, if it works for you as poetry then there's no more to be said. Matters of taste aren't really debateable.

In DoC, are we given the impression that he regularly visits Lucrecia in her crystal?

Your version rhymes, certainly. But dew doesn't "quench the land". If you drink a nice cold ice cold can of Mountain Dew because you're thirsty on a hot day, you don't say, "That Mountain Dew really quenched me". You'd say, "It quenched my thirst." In the same way, dew can't quench the land, it...

Tres, I don't think anyone is arguing that people will misunderstand the meaning of "quench" in Loveless or that it is intended there in a negative sense. We're just arguing that it's bad English and bad poetry; or at least, not as good as it could have been. A line can be understandable and...

I am pretty sure they were in Wutai to find him and had just taken a day off to enjoy themselves.

It's the old literal translation versus spirit of the original argument.

"Heroic verse, also called heroic metre or heroic line, the verse form in which the heroic poetry of a particular language is, or according to critical opinion should be, composed. In classical poetry this was dactylic hexameter, in French the alexandrine, in Italian the hendecasyllabic line...

Generally speaking, to quench something means to end it in a positive way. There's been a good resolution. The English version of "Loveless" isn't what one would call well translated. It isn't even good poetry. It doesn't scan, which epic poetry in English ought to do. "To become a drop of the...

I like to think it is Angeal, so.... Maybe there was a gap between Angeal making it into the SOLDIER program and his Dad commissioning and obtaining the Buster sword.

Glad Nomura listened for once, and didn't tell his advisers to zip it.
