Miss Yukari: Yay for questions! Okay first, yes I am looking forward to Christmas, it is my favorite holiday of the year though I am not as prepared for it as I would like to be :lol: Second question, yes I do, i always go to Christmas Eve service at the church I grew up in and go to my parent's house to open at least one present Most of the time we all get in the car as a family and ride around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights as well. It is a special time.Third, as far as actual Christmas movies go I have always adored Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and would say that is my favorite. It is such a sweet movie and Rudolph is just too cute with the way he always sounds like he has a stuffed up nose and bright red nose. But a few of my favorite movies are set a Christmas time such as While You Were Sleeping and Love Actually. Thanks so much for taking time to ask me some questions Miss Yukari!

Yay more questions! Vanelo gets a Favorite romantic movie? Wow that is tough but I am going to say Sleepless in Seattle and Love Actually (tie) because there are scenes in there that actually make me almost swoon and tear up everytime I watch them. Just great movies. Vincent, Squall, or Balthier? (I'm being intentionally vague on this one) Even though I have not finished playing XII I have to say Balthier, I really enjoy his character and find him to be very sexy with the confidence he shows. And... favorite color? Blue, love probably all shades of blue |

Do you yourself ice skate? If you were forced to have one song on repeat in the back of your mind for the rest of your life, what song would you choose? |

Wahoo, MT asks me questions! Do you yourself ice skate? Occasionally and not for many years, I have good memories of skating with my dad in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I am not good at it by any means but I love watching others ice skate and of course love watching hockey. If you were forced to have one song on repeat in the back of your mind for the rest of your life, what song would you choose? Good question, it can be instrumental right? It was between The Girl Who Stole the Star from Chrono Cross soundtrack (may be my favorite piece of instrumental of all time) and Aerith's theme. I chose Aerith's theme for two reasons, I have always thought it was perfect in capturing Aerith as a character and her journey... and I can slightly cheat because there have been a lot of different versions of her theme and I have yet to hear one I don't enjoy. So I would play that with the different versions My favorite version is the full orchestra version, just beautiful and epic.You probably didn't want such long responses, sorry I have a tendency to do that.

Hey aerisbolt! ![]() Can I kidnap your cutie? ![]() Besides C/A what are your favorite FF canon couples? Why don't you like Squall/Rinoa? Are you a fan of the Twilight series? What about Harry Potter? If you were to design FFXIV, how would you make it unique & distinct from the previous ones? (Include battle system, magic & characters design...etc). |

Hey AA thanks for the questions.Can I kidnap your cutie? Yeah, I think right around 3am when he is throwing a tantrum would be the perfect time...I kid. No I couldn't part with my little guy, him being kidnapped would be one of the worse things that could ever happen to me...even if it is you AA. Besides C/A what are your favorite FF canon couples? Tidus and Yuna...I don't think I have any other true favorites that are considered true canon. Why don't you like Squall/Rinoa? How much time do you have? :lol: Okay I really hope I don't offend you but I want to answer honestly...so here it goes. I will try to keep this brief. First off I am not a big fan of either character...but Rinoa is the worst...I think she is an terrible heroine and honestly have a hard time understanding how anyone could love that selfish, constant damsel in distress, girl. (Sorry) Then there is Squall who I find pretty much boring. But the worst is them together. I'm playing through the story, Rinoa flips from Sefier to Squall pretty quickly. Squall shows indifference to her and everyone else. Then all of the sudden she is in danger and he freaks out as if he will die if something happens to her. No build up, no real connection, just.. "Wait we were suppose to be telling an epic love story" "Damn I forgot, here make him react like this, that way we don't have to be responsible for good romantic storytelling." "Yeah I'm sure gamers won't notice." So yeah, Rinoa and Squall, no thank you. ---- Are you a fan of the Twilight series? What about Harry Potter? Haven't read the Twilight series, but yes I love Harry Potter. If you were to design FFXIV, how would you make it unique & distinct from the previous ones? (Include battle system, magic & characters design...etc). Uh...can I get back to you on that, it is way to early to give that a fair answer. |

Don't worry about that. Squall/Rinoa was my first FF couple experience believe it or not so you could say I have a special place for them in my list of fav. FF couples. I know that Rinoa is bashed quite a bit, but that's probably because of her immaturity. At least she matures by Disc 3. The reason I like Rinoa is because I think of her a childish teenager who is in love for the first time (with a stoic). I don't think she was ever truely "in love" with Seifer because she questions it in conversation with Quistis and Selphie. (I don't know about you but I would think that one would know when they are in love. At least I hope...) But seriously, I see FF8 as Square's attempt to make a Disney romance. Not all will like it but you have to admit a kiss on a balcony is kinda romantic. ![]() Anyways, what FF8 couples do you ship? How many FF games have you played? Why do you ship Tidus/Yuna? (For the record they are my fav couple after Cleris :fangirl:) What are your thoughts on FFX-2 and its tragic romance Shuyin/Lenne? What is your favorite Harry Potter book? Why? |

Aww, thanks for understanding AA I can completely understand where you are coming from, I do believe that the first video game you play is extremely influential from then on, probably why I am so passionate about 7 and the characters and who I ship.Anyways, what FF8 couples do you ship? I am not the biggest FF8 fan...I mean I like it, it is a FF game and I love Quistis but I wasn't into the game or most of the characters on a whole to really get into shipping. Up until Squall is a major ass to Quistis I wanted the two of them to get together the first time I played it, but after that moment Squall was no longer good enough. :lol: I will say Selphie and Irvine are cute but I don't know enough about the characters to care about really shipping them. And that is one of my problems with FF8 I felt the sidekicks if you will got left behind for the big romance and I that really disappointed me. I will tell you I recently read a fabulous Quistis/Seifer fanfic and it honestly almost made me a fan of not just them but everyone...I really enjoyed it. So after going on and on I guess though the actual answer may be...none really. Guess that is what I should have written in the first place heehee. How many FF games have you played? Let's start at the beginning...almost all of 2 (got bored) FFIV, FFV, FFVI,FFVII,FFVIII,FFIX,FFX,FFX-2...I think I have only watched my husband play 1 and a little halfway through 12 but the baby stopped that game so sometime we will have to try to finish it. Why do you ship Tidus/Yuna? Oh man I could be here a while. I love both characters for one thing. I know many people find Tidus annoying and I can respect that but I found him refreshing and fun. Yuna in X is my second favorite heroine, just behind Aerith. She is strong and brave, yet there is vunerability and of course tons of compassion. I felt they did a great job showing the two of them getting to know each other and they have so many cute moments, like the whistling or talking about going to Zanarkand. Plus the scene where they kiss is just wonderful. Plus I love the way Tidus looks at Yuna. And there are so many parallels to Clerith, they are seperated...their goodbyes are heartbreaking and yet there is hope that they will be reunited. I actually wrote a whole essay on the similarites of Clerith and YuTi *shameless plug* but I find that because there was this impending doom, first that Yuna would have to die, then Tidus finding out he would disappear; made them all the more root worthy. Plus they were both so strong to come to terms that their life would be over but they would still do what was necessary for the world to go on. I just think they are fabulous. X-2 hurt them a little bit, but the premise of her searching for him was great...where have we seen that before *cough* and I missed him terribly in that game. Yuna was hurt by that game more than anyone but I seriously have put it that she was rebeling at the time, trying to deal with that horrible line of mourning yet still holding out hope and that after the game she was able to mesh into more of a combination of the two Yunas, dropping most of the second's traits but not all. But even with all that, it has not swayed my love for this couple, I will always think they are fabulous. What are your thoughts on FFX-2 and its tragic romance Shuyin/Lenne? They are somewhat interesting, they have the tragic thing going on and I was perfectly fine with the parallels to Yuna and Tidus. I wish we could have known more about their individual personalities, that helps me when falling for a couple. Like I said to the above question, many times I seem to love epic romances that are doomed and I love the idea that no matter what that eventually somehow the love is strong enough to reunite them. But as just an individual couple, they were okay...I think X-2 should have given us more if they wanted me to be all about them. But that is just me. Now as a game itself, it was okay...I had fun playing it. It had a lot of flaws obviously but some of the missions were fun. It's okay if you don't take it real seriously. It is a shame that it came from such an amazing predessor though. X was one of FF best in my opinion so it is very dangerous when you decide to take away the individual gamers ability to finish the story but I did feel there was a lot they could do after X ended. Would have gone a different direction but I do understand why they made a sequel. What is your favorite Harry Potter book? Why? Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban great twists, time travel, and we learned just enough to make me completely hooked. I knew after that one I would want to follow Harry's journey till whatever end. Just thought it had everything a great book should. So AA if you are still reading this I thank you, sorry for the novel but I really enjoyed your questions. |

Yay, another Quistis fan! Which means I absolutely MUST ask... Do you actually ship Quistis/Seifer yourself, or did you just happen to like the fanfic that paired them? Is Quistis your favorite FFVIII character? If so, why? And one obligatory unrelated question... what's your favorite movie you saw this year? And to clarify, I don't mean what you think was the best, I mean YOUR personal favorite. |

Heh, I think most people are the same! It's easier for me because we go to my auntie's house for dinner on Christmas day so there's nothing for me to organise. But she says she really enjoys cooking the dinner so that's okay. ![]()
That sounds so nice! I love going for a walk at Christmas and seeing all the lights in the windows, it looks so cosy.
Ah, I've always wanted to watch Love Actually. Everyone says what a brilliant film it is, and I also find Andrew Lincoln sexy as hell. I'll hafta see if I can get hold of it at some point this year. Okay, more questions! If you could go anywhere you wanted in the world on your hols, where would you go and why? Do you have any siblings? What's your favourite season and why? Do you prefer dancing or singing? |

It was definitely the fanfic. I wanted to check out Quistis fanfiction and her with Seifer seemed to have the most to choose from that I could possibly find interesting so it became a possible couple for me after the story I read. I still wouldn't say I ship them, but I can see the potential if the writer is good. Is Quistis your favorite FFVIII character? If so, why? Absolutely. I loved her character design, I thought she was gorgous and loved that she wore glasses and was so smart. Plus a whip for a weapon is just so bad ass. Then she showed hints of so many layers, kicking ass with the gun in that one mission or struggling with failing at be able to maintain be a teacher even though she obviously accomplished a lot by being chosen so young. Then showing the ability to at least begin to move on when the man she wanted didn't want her and figure out where the root of the affection was coming from. It showed strength in my opinion and spared us another exhausting LTD. And one obligatory unrelated question... what's your favorite movie you saw this year? And to clarify, I don't mean what you think was the best, I mean YOUR personal favorite. Sadly I haven't been to the movie in AGES. I did watch a movie I never saw before called The Mist that surprised the heck out of me. I expected to be bored or find it just mediocre but I ended up sobbing and found it extremely thought provoking even if some characters were cliche. Showing what happens psychologically to people when in frighting and stressful situations over a period of time is fascinating...and disturbing. That was why I believe it was labeled a horror film...much more than the things that were attacking them. Miss Yukari: If you could go anywhere you wanted in the world on your hols, where would you go and why? What's a hols? If I could go anywhere I would want to go to Europe and go from country to country. I want to see London, Rome, Paris etc. But if I had to keep it to one country...Australia Do you have any siblings? No What's your favourite season and why? In Florida we don't have seasons (heehee) But I think if I could have seasons I would like Fall the most because it is cool but not freezing it means the winter season with the holidays are on the way, Halloween is near by too(I think, when does Fall normally start?) And watching the leaves change colors is stunning...at least from what I see in pictures heehee. Do you prefer dancing or singing? If I am doing it, singing. I have always loved singing even though I have lost a lot of my range from not continuing to practice. I love to watch dancing...I truly like to watch both. But if i had to pick one to watch, I would pick dancing. Thanks for more questions Vanelo and Miss Yukari!

First things first: What does LTD stand for in this case? (you can count that as a question if you want :sweat:) Anyhow, Quistis is easily my favorite character in FFVIII besides Squall, and my favorite FF female ever besides Aeris. She's smart, funny, strong, and beautiful. And yet she still fails in both love and her duties... it's like she broke under all the stress and incredible pressure put on her while she's still so young. But she shows incredible strength and manages to put all of it behind her and move on to fulfill her mission and defeat Ultimecia.
The Mist was awesome!! It stayed very close to the original Stephen King story by Hollywood standards too (only the ending and one or two other minor subplots were altered, though I didn't like the new ending >_<). Easily the best horror film I've seen in ages. Anyhow, questions! Favorite Harry Potter character? Do you think Squall should've been with Quistis instead of Rinoa? Do you ship any FFXII couples? |
