Greetings and Salutations.

[Tifa]

Hiya. I guess here I shall be known as Tifa! Something about me. Um, I am the largest Final Fantasy fan I have met in real life and one of the largest I have met, ever. I have played virtually every single Final Fantasy that is available in the United States, as well as have seen all the movies, anime, own thousands of songs from soundtracks, hundreds of figures and more. Yay for Final Fantasy.

My favorite Final Fantasy games are VII and VIII like many other people and then next would probably be VI and IX and then X-2 (only after I beat it with the perfect ending) coupled with X, since I consider them one game in my mind. They were only complete after the perfect ending, though! The sad ending in Japanese disturbed me. I would have been very disturbed with that. I did not enjoy Final Fantasy XI, as I am a huge MMORPG fan, although larger console fan, but I have played many, many MMORPGs and I just did not truly enjoy Final Fantasy XI, but I did at least try it. I think it should have just been called Final Fantasy Online. Yahoo. Hm.. I love Advent Children and obviously, my favorite female character is Tifa, followed by Rinoa! My favorite male character is Squall and then Cloud. Outside of Final Fantasy I love Shadow Hearts, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire, Disgaea, Growlanser, Xenosaga, Star Ocean and more. I adore Yuri from Shadow Hearts.

I love reading fantasy novels, as well as history. I have been working on two fantasy novels for over ten years. I love anime! My favorites are Inuyasha, Chrno Crusade, Bleach and Elfen Lied, but I have many, many more, those are just the top! I like television, too! Heroes is the new best thing on television and it's totally amazing. I used to also love Buffy, Xena, Hercules, and Alias. I also watch Lost, Gilmore Girls, Greys Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Jeopardy, Veronica Mars and.. uh.. I think that's it. I love books, as I said, and my favorite series are The Belgariad, The Mallorean and A Song of Ice and Fire. I adore music, as well, and require it to write most of the time. My favorite kind of music is instrumental music and my favorite composers are Nobuo Uematsu and John Williams. I also love musicals and have performed in many, my favorites being Jesus Christ Superstar, Avenue Q, Wicked, Man of La Mancha and My Fair Lady.

Anyway, I love it here and I TOTALLY ADORE THE LAYOUT! These are my total favorite colors and on my journal, which I adore and my personal website, as well as other places, I always use colors similar to this, so yay! Amazing work.

[Enedok]

Woaw! You got to be an expert on virtually any told story known to mankind^_^

I have read many different mangas. (gantz, hxh, berserk, love hina, death note) and more books that anyone in my class, but I'm nowhere near your insane level of entertainment. You are working on two novels for 10 YEARS? Me want to read!!:D

You're the fan that takes more time to play the game then it takes to create it:crazy:

I'm bowing for you, I'm not going to say post lots, you're on crack baby!! Welcome:lol: (http://forums.finalfantasy-xiii.net/member.php?u=53) (http://forums.finalfantasy-xiii.net/member.php?u=53)

[Tifa]

Yes, pretty much. Not any story! But lots. I like stories and history, mythology, astrology and more, on top of all of that. I am a huge fan of learning and education! Yahoo. Haha.

Yes, two books. I started off with one originally, that was supposed to turn into its own series, and then I started another one about a year after that one and enjoyed writing that one more and I eventually turned that book into the first book's prequel, so yay! They are connected and now that is part of the series, instead of having one series and then a prequel.. or maybe that is what will happen, who knows. But, yes, since ten years have passed since I started, I have started it over many, many times since after a year passed, my writing hopefully improved.. hopefully.. So I would start over and change things and that happened many times, but overall I have thousands of pages written. ^_^

Yes! I love games, particularly roleplaying games and I love the roleplaying aspect of games, my favorite parts being the character development of the main characters. I try to get every single thing I can in the game, but I have rules that I play by. The first time I buy a new RPG, I won't rename the people if that's an option and I will not use a player's handbook. The second time through is different. Then I can rename them and go off and find everything else I missed, but the first time around I like to have a totally genuine experience filled with mass exploration and discovery and having the handbook takes away from that for me.

Hehe, I love finding others who have interests similar to mine since it's rather hard in a lot of ways, considering how passionate I am about many things, which is why I try to make sure people know what I like, so that they can know what to relate with me. Anyway. Enough rambling on my behalf. Farethee well until the next time

[Xelien_5.0]

First of all WELCOME!!! I watch MUCH anime as well, I LUV Bleach and Inuyasha(not my top favs but still luv) and Elfen Lied is werid:blink: Im not a fan of Yuri, in fact *points to avatar* i like the opposite :lol:

Ive also been writing a Fantasy novel too!(but only for about 5 years and with my cousin help) Its called Xelia, also there as things called Xelien's in my book, so thats where my name came from

Well...post lots and and enjoy ^_^

[Tifa]

Oh, noooo. Not that kind of yuri. lol. The character Yuri from Shadow Hearts. I love him. <3

[Xelien_5.0]

LOL!!!!!!!! SRRY i feel like an idot now! i guess i was reading too fast(does that alot) I luv Yuri too, mainly cause i luv his voice though:lol:

[Tifa]

Oooh! Yes! I love his voice, too. I mean in English, too, which is amazing because I am extremely picky about English voice actors, but I really love Yuri's voice. He should do more things than he does. I also have some of the movies from the Director's Cut version of Shadow Hearts II, so his voice is in Japanese in those and in other ones I have and it's totally sexy, too. No problem, though and don't feel like an idiot. I found that funny. =D

[Xelien_5.0]

Im also extreamly picky with english voice actors as well, i usally perfer the original japanese, but Eric Stuart happans to be one of my favs and i agree he should do much more.

[Tifa]

Oooh! Yes! However, Eric Stuart only does the voice acting to Shadow Hearts I. He is not one of my favorites, but he is definitely one I can stand. I meant Joey Capps, the voice actor for Yuri in Shadow Hearts II. I absolutely adore him. He does like... nothing... and he should really do more stuff. His voice is absolutely perfect for Yuri, even though Eric Stuart was really good, but Joey Capps was absolutely perfect for him. He just sounded more of a jerk, which is the key to being Yuri for me. I really love that voice and Yuri.

However! I have some other English voice actors I can stand such as Steven Blum, who is a ton of people ranging from Spike from Cowboy Bebop, to Orochimaru and Zabuza from Naruto, to Mugen in Samurai Champloo. He is really, really talented. He is also Vincent Valentine in English and there are only two voices I can stand in English from Final Fantasy VII and Vincent is one of them. Oddly enough, Cloud is the other one. His voice is fine in English. Another one is! Johnny Yong Bosch, who is another exceptional English voice actor. He does people like Vash from Trigun and Kiba from Wolf's Rain, as well as now Ichigo from Bleach. Those are my favorite male ones in English, by far. Females would be... Kari Wahlgren, who is the female voice actress to many, many, many parts such as Haruko from FLCL and Fuu from Samurai Champloo and Cher from Wolf's Rain and Shelke from Dirge of Cerberus and even Ashe from Final Fantasy XII, as well as many others.

However! I also agree. Japanese voice actors blow English ones away, but it's still nice to know that some of us out there have some kind of talent, but my favorite male voice actor and one that I am kind of obsessed with is Akira Ishida, who does the voice acting to Chrno from Chrno Crusade. I absolutely worship his voice. I love him. He also does Coud from Erementar Gerad and more commonly known as Gaara from Naruto. Also! In Japanese... Nyu from Elfen Lied. She's amazing. I love her, too. And more, but I just had to throw her in there because her voice is sexy and I am listening to it.

Woo for voice actors! I could definitely keep going, trust me, but I have rambled enough for now!

[Squall Leonhart]

Ok, that's a really long and impresive introduction, but I only read half of it. Anyway I hope you enjoy these forums because honestly I do, something about the esence of being a forum about game that has not even been released. The feeling of not knowing what is going to happen, the sense of the unknown story that remains hidden to most of us, something so deep that makes us fans of almost every FF game. The quest for knowledge and adventure.

*crap, I'm going all emotional again.......whatever*

[Xelien_5.0]

Ok now im going to start rambling....OMG I LUV STEVE BLUM!!! He has to be one of my all time favorite VA so is Johnny Yong Bosch ^_^ i also so LUV Crispin Freeman who was in Helling, Chobits, .hack//SIGN, Eureka Seven, Ghost in the Shell, and Wolf's Rain. Other poeple i like are Dave Wittenberg and Kari Wahlgren.

My list of Japanese VA Favs would be WAY to long to list but i luv Hoshi Soichiro(the things he's done is to long to list) Miyano Mamoru whos done voices in KH, Wolf's Rain, Death Note, Eureka Seven, and Ouran High School Host Club. Okiayu Ryotaro is also my fav he's in Tennis no Oujisama, D.N. Angel, Fruits Basket, and and Gravitation. Man i could keep on going like u but im not good in typing and its starting to get bothersome typing so much so ill stop:lol:
