The Great Twist
Since this is a Final Fantasy forum, I thought well maybe I'd share a little unique story with everyone.

My IGN is FranBunnyFFXII, It' has been for quite some time. It's an IGN that came of some dire circumstances.

See I used to be a very well known player in an MMORPG, as well as a well known player in korean mmo scene. But with fame comes problems, and these problems were too harsh for me to deal with. I ended up getting stalked and harassed even to the point where the game masters of the game i was playing were willing to help with police reports.

So, with advice, I desided to pick out a new IGN, remove all instances of my past mmorpg presence, and start brand new, with a new IGN.
I thought about it throughly, i wanted something that ment something to me.

The first character that came to mind was Fran. She's my favorite FF character of all time. And I, being female, thought i should be cute about it, so... i was like hmmm cute... and fran has rabbit ears..

FranBunny!!!!

But i wanted to have something recognizable. well Fran is from FFXII, lets add that

Thus i came to the conclusion my new IGN would be FranBunnyFFXII.

As life goes on, i play more and more MMORPGs and just like my past before me I once again become famous in the korean MMORPG circut. Pulled multiple world firsts made some marks, and once again my fame amoung players was unexpected.

But this time, I had the history behind me without question. No one could contest my accomplisments.

Well during this time, I was living by myself and had no family and things like that, and being an MMO player on Ventrillo or TeamSpeak all the time, people of course called me by my IGN.

I got called "Franbunny" so much that I ended up losing recognition to my previous name, hearing it today still makes me double take because i'm not used to hearing that name.

The name my parents gave me I loathed, I HATED with a burning passion, and i was determined to change my name anyways.

My logic went like this... "Well im so used to being called franbunny, lets make a full name out of that."

Fran is a Viera, Ok so franbunny viera... I needed a middle name, and at the time i was reading Alice in Wonderland. (probably for like the 10th time, its my favorite book)

Well Fran is a Veena veira, white hair and ears, lets follow the white rabbit and see how far the rabbit hole goes.

Alice was to be the middle name.


Franbunny Alice Viera is now my actual name. I was named after Fran from FFXII


And no im not making this up.



Also the character in my signature is from the mmorpg i played that i became famous in as FranBunnyFFXII. That is the first character ever to hold the name "Franbunny"

Explain How! posted:

They were both at a party 3 years ago. My friend was visiting her sister in america and she had mutual friends with zoe. Immediately zoe was offensive and aggressive towards her, specifically about her transitioning.

At the end of the night my friend and her sister were leaving, and zoe took the chance to make a passing comment about her loving some guy who didn't know she had a dick. She thought it would be hilarious for my friend to get the poo poo kicked out of her by some dude. That went down how you'd expect.

Zoe likes to glass people it turns out. hosed up my friends face pretty bad.

The best bit, and how i knew exactly how this goes down, is that zoe likes to keep her cult around her; she is very good at embedding herself into a community. My friend was told that as someone who would go back home at some point, keeping zoe happy was far more important to them than supporting her. Zoe can and would easily make poo poo horrible for everyone involved if they don't fold to her will. And she always has her cult as we've seen today.

Do you pronounce it Franbunny or do you try to get fancy like Fraunboonay? Do you prefer people shorten it to Fran or to Bunny? I totally would change my name to Bunny.


like... Frahn bunn EE Soft b and u but a more accentuated Y.

Same way that Balthier says "fran" in FFXII but with a "bunny" on the end.

does two quotes within a quote make me meta and edgy

Man, Skies of Arcadia did everything FF12 did but better.

Big adventure, evil empire, ancient magic, etc. etc. etc. all there. Young aspiring sky pirate, check. Pigtailed girlfriend, check. Girl from strange mystical culture, check. Grizzled fighter, check. Dashing roguish mentor, check. Young royalty trying to set right various political wrongs, check. Charismatic authority figure who ends up backstabbing monarch for personal gain, check. Squad of other bad guys who sit on various places on the honorable opponent <-> evil fuckhead spectrum, check. Big huge world with lots of stuff to wander around checking out and having fun in, check.

Nobody loving feels useless to the plot. Protagonist attains initial ambition early on and actually develops over the course of things as a result of newfound responsibilities. Supporting cast is tons of fun. Minimal dumbshit melodrama.

Dammit man.

FF12 is better and actually pretty good on the international version. Couldn't get into it otherwise.

My main problem with it is that it has a lot of poo poo that you need a gameguide for and that's lame. Playing FF6 after FF12 really highlighted how unreasonable that is because the older FFs actually gave hints and poo poo as to where the special secret stuff was.

RPGs now are like the old school adventure games that were made deliberately obtuse so they could charge money for the hint hotline

Sometimes they sell you a guide, and then the guide doesn't have all the information and they make you go to a website also.

FFX has worse art direction but everything from combat to leveling is better. Weapon customization was the best thing about it and Monster hunting wasn't tied to random weather effects.
