I was told before starting them that between the Namazu and Moogles I would love one and hate the other, I got it exactly backwards.

Gyodo being the introduction really does them a disservice. Their eagerness and sincerity makes their naivete and incompetence endearing.

Same, the vast majority of these little fuckers are earnest which makes the absolute ineptitude and laziness cute instead of infuriating like certain motherfuckers with poms.

Can someone complete the circle here? I recognize the reference to Springsteen's "Born in the USA", but don't get how it relates.

That's it, you got it. it's not a complicated joke, it's just a play on the prosody of saying "USA" and "Cieldalaes"

It's not like Rock Me Amadeus has anything to do with the Alexander raids.

At least "arrhidaeus" rhymes like "amadeus". I don't know how you'd pronounce "cieldales" to rhyme with "USA".

Seel-dah-lays? Is that how it's pronounced? (I'm pretty sure it's one of those terms that's never spoken aloud but ?)

yeah I think you might need to massage it but that's how the joke is implying it's pronounced

The important part of dissecting puns and jokes is that many of them are bad puns and jokes.

I wanna sing one for the cars

Yeah, I assume a lot of the throwaway item-description jokes are just the first thing someone thought of. They can't all be winners.

I'm mostly just wondering what the hell the desc-localizer has against paprika, personally

Speaking of fish, can aquariums be clipped into each other to make it look like the tank has more fish than you could normally put in one, or does whichever tank is on top mask the others?

People trip over themselves to say how good "Quake Me Up Before You O'Ghomoro" is when it's just a lame rhyme that doesn't fit the rhythm at all, meanwhile "Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It" is a loving masterpiece of punning

Yep, he's still chilling in the barn.

Edit: I wonder if the three Andens have any sort of psychic connection. Does Anden II feel it if you trim the branches on Anden I or III?
