(This is the first time I've joined a forum in a very long time, bear with me!)
I just spent the last five minutes trying to think up a witty, Final Fantasy related topic title. Evidently I failed. Newbie here! (So-rry.)
So anyway. I'm from London (UK), I'm a university student (I really ought to be studying right now), but more importantly I am a Final Fantasy nerd and aspire to be an even better one. You can call me Monterosa.
I've been popping onto The Lifestream every so often for a number of years for the superb Final Fantasy resources and translations on the main page. Seriously, I'd love to thank the contributors of all the fantastic content you've got here!
However I never considered joining the forums until yesterday when I happened to hear about the FFVII race going on between Flintlock and Prince Lex. I only intended to make my visit brief, but I was really drawn into the excitement of the race and the fun conversation in the simultaneous chat. Now here I am, finally a forum member.
Talk about a Final Fantasy VIII race was the final push to make me join. Although I do love FFVII, my expertise (or at least the bulk of my FF knowledge) lies in FFVIII. My long term goal is to translate the FFVIII Ultimania, although that really would be a number of years off as I'd have to learn to read Japanese first. Fortunately I know Chinese so at least I have a heard start, hehe. FFVII fans have been blessed (and burdened - all those translations!) with an enormous amount of canonical information from Square over the years. Unfortunately FFVIII has had much less development. But I'm sure there's so much under the surface that fans outside Japan don't know about.
Well, one can dream.
Next month or sometime after I would be so up for a FFVIII race, in the same vein as the race we saw this weekend. Please do let me know if you'd like the challenge too!
Now I'm off for a mosey round these here forums, see what I can find to procrastinate better.
You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?
