I await instructions my Captain.

Those are mainly similarities between the games based around rpg cliches that FF7 popularized and CC drew on. I love both games, but I don't feel there were any intentional connections (and to me the differance between a similarity and a connection is that intent).

Were any of the FF7 creative team working on CC?

I'm pretty sure that V was subtly teasing, since the 'original' font that was being talked about isn't the original, the japanese font was.

It could be the processing of the Dreamstone that is necessary to use forge special items such as these (which Melchior mentions when repairing the Masamune) changes the color of the stone as well as it's physical properties. It would make the most sense as I doubt anyone would guess the pendant and the masamune were formed from the same material visually.

it is always the vice of people, no matter the location, to hate their surroundings. But moving doesn't help that. Sure, at first you love it because it's new and exciting, but once you get used to it, you'll want to be somewhere else. Until you're able to love life in it's entirety, you won't be able to live anywhere without having that happen.

I know it's long past this post, but I can honestly say I love where I live and always have. Though apparently I'm the only one who feels that way since basically everyone I know has wanted to move for years lol.

Did they say how the Reptites Got Terra Tower to float?

I assumed it was the power of the Dragon God, floating an island was pretty easily within his realm of power.

The word "friend" is such a weighted one. What do you think a friend is, beyond one who shares similar interests, will help you out when you need it and does what you want or expect them to, within reason? If it is anything more than that, then those friends of yours aren't acting very friend-like. All the same, if the situation bothers you that much, I would suggest reevaluating your relationship with them for the time being.

I am prefacing my response with the below statement to explain how I view friendship.

My friends are my life, they are far closer to me then anyone who is related to me by blood. They took me in when I lived on the street, they helped me during all my hard times, and been the voices of reason in my life. And I've done all these things back for them. Friendship to me is a mutual respect and comradeship that many people talk about but few people experience.

These people are good friends of mine, who I love with everything I have. But their political identity is so ingrained in who they are that it's hard for them to just let me be happy about the first political event in my lifetime I have really gotten involved in and cared about. Once everything calms down in a couple weeks I have a feeling they will go back to normal, but for now they are going to be a major part of my frustrations. Which is what this thread was for after all, a place to vent your frustrations.

My point was it was about respect for me as a friend. I know their opinions, it's not like they haven't made it blatantly clear they feel Obama is both unamerican and unworthy to be president. But having friends continually barraging me with this because I voted for Obama is a fucking disrespect. I don't bring it up, I don't mention it. I've said nothing but good things about McCain (I preferred Obama, but honestly either could have led our country well). But they can't stop it, like they have some kind of weird political Tourette's Syndrome that bashing Obama must be tossed into any conversation with me that lasts more then 30 seconds.

-_- goddamnit people, get a grip.

Fusteration is: Lack of Respect.

To begin, I am a very liberal person. I voted for Obama, and believe in his words of hope and plan for the future. I also understand why my republican friends do not like him, and I respect that.

What I am tired of is all the shit I hear every 3 seconds about him from my republican friends. I did not do this to them when Bush won, I gave my them their time in the sun and let them enjoy the inauguration. I understand you don't like or respect Obama, but at least have some goddamn respect for me and let me have a few moment to be happy about the first political victory I've actually cared about in my lifetime before you start off on how he's going to destroy our society, how he hates america, and how he sacrifices republican babies in dark rituals.

It's about respect really, and I don't think there is enough of it in this day and age.

Bush got the shit boo'ed out of him.  Whether you did or not is irrelevant.  Was the man a bad President?  Tough to aruge against it.  Is he responsible for your prbolems or worries?  Negative.  He's gone now and everyone will have to find someone else to blame for their problems.  Obama is hailed as a Messiah and it's day one.  Personally, I think he'll be fine, in fact I have little to no beef with President Obama.  But I CANNOT stand his rabid fans.  i cannot wait to see them all in 6 months when little to nothing has changed.  Can we?  Bet your ass.  Will we?  Remains to be seen.


Oh, and about the lotto tickets, imagine working at the shlumpy station having to wait for chumps to go thru a bazillion lotto tickets.

Whether I did or not is indeed very relevant. I am talking about my own friends respecting me, not something else. I am far from a rabid Obama supporter, and I do not (nor have I ever really) instigated any political talk. I am having republican friends of mine coming up and telling me how much Obama blows from out of the blue without any reason behind it other then they wanted to tell me it. This is not part of 'normal conversation' nor is their any segway into it. And I constantly hear it, and I honestly am getting to the point that I feel it is disrespectful. I don't care what other pro Obama people have done, I personally have shown them nothing but respect for them and their political beliefs, as friends I expect the same in return. It is always about respect for others. Voice your opinions yes, but what they are doing is verging on harassment about it.

And sorry if that was a bit snippish, my irritation level about this is very high right now (I had a friend call me DURING THE INAUGURATION to tell me about how much Obama blows. Dude I know you don't like him, but goddammit)

Huh, that is an interesting implication. If there was a timeline in which Lavos never appeared on earth, then that would require that the timelime must have been altered so that Lavos would appear on earth. That implies that Lavos falling to earth was itself the result of a time traveler.

Either Lavos existed on early in earth's most original timeline, or he came into existence on earth as the result of some unknown force manipulating time.

There is another implication that makes a lot more sense to me. That Lavos himself is a time traveler, and the world seperated because of his arrival on the planet. He already know Lavos has great powers over time, so I don't see it as much of a stretch.

Or the arrival of a creature of his power can itself fracture the dimensions...

My first thought following this line of thought is 'Could the dimensions (keystone and reptite) be combined into an ideal dimension, and what would that world be...

History, Locations, and Artifacts / Re: Theory on Mammon Machine

Excellent theory. It seems our only theory for this related to Pocket Dimensions, so this will be great if the PD theory goes away.

This is gonna sound really lame but it's an honor to have you comment on my idea.

As for the others in this thread, I'm gonna be making a more general thread about the theme of dreams in Zeal and the Black Omen that we were talking about, and how it might explain parts of the black omen. Keep an eye out for it, I hope to see you all there! ^_~

How about ASK someone if they could give it to you.

BTW it's zeality@gmail.com

Actually, I believe it is explictly stated in the game that the Sun Stone was used as an energy source to keep Zeal afloat before the Mammon Machine. Once the Mammon Machine was built, it was retired to the Sun Keep.

 [Young Man]
   That's the Sun Keep you see on the
   southern continent. A Sun Stone, once
   the source of this world's power, was
   kept there.

   But when we began using our new
   energy source, it was sealed up just
   like the north palace.

   They claim we don't need the energy
   of this tired, old planet.

That's the quote about them using the Sun Stone's energy.

I'm pretty sure that Kid mentions 'big sister' (Lucca) gave her the astral amulet, but it never specifies that Lucca made it. That doesn't mean Lucca couldn't have made it, but it opens possibilities to where it could have come from.

I just finished a playthrough of CC and I'm pretty sure it was mentioned, but I can't for the life of me remember when.

As for Lucca remembering the Zealian seal, she doesn't seem to be the type to forget something like that. Heck after she put 2 and 2 together and figured out who Kid was I wouldn't have put it past her to do some research on Zeal (after all her 'daughter' was a Princess of the place, might be good to get some background).
