OK, as far as the Momento Ring goes, FF6's engine is not set up to change item descriptions based on who has them equipped. As for why it's common knowledge that Shadow is Relm's father, there's the fact that he can use the Momento Ring in the first place (hey, maybe she was actually named Mother), Interceptor, Relm showing up where Shadow should if you let Shadow die, and of course all those Inn flashbacks which basically say flat out that he is. 8)

The only recent game I can think of that looks like LoM would be SaGa Frontier 2. The entire game is in watercolor, except the sprites. Even at that, I think the monsters might be. As for Elly, well, nobody knows. I just reassure myself that at the beginning of the game, when Elly has her own choice of gear, she's piloting a big evil looking one. Reis on the other hand, well, hard to keep up one's practice with a sword while being a dragon, you know? A purse doesn't need much training.

Legend of Mana! I'm pretty darn sure I've mentioned the fact once or twice. Not only can you give control of NPCs on your party over to a second person, there's a place where you can load the main character from someone else's game to play with you, and I'm told there's even an arena where you can fight them if you want to. It's all very nice. The second newest multiplayer game I can think of is Tales of Phantasia. Appearently there's an item that let's you control other characters on your party in fights with a second (or third, or fourth) controller.

Googleshng:
What's annoying to you is the best part of the game for others. All a question of taste I guess. Anyway, if you absolutely can't get used to the timing on them, which really isn't all that hard, except on those spear ones, there ARE items which, when equipped, make you do them automatically. The catch there is that with the first one, you get half the damage, half the SP, and it doesn't count towards bringing up the level of the addition. There's a better one later on that does full damage and gives full SP, although I'm not sure if it counts towards addition level ups. Finally, even if you flat out can't do additions, and don't pull off a single one the entire game, regular attacks still give you some SP, which means you can still become dragoons, and get up to DL5, it's just going to take you a little longer. Plus don't forget there's Shana, who doesn't deal with the whole mess at all. For you, she'd be a GREAT character.

Interesting. Then of course there's the story Suikoden is based on, so you can add China to the pile. Very odd, but apearently 108 is a very religious number.

Googleshng:
Also interesting. You know, this is the only person who seems to have caught the Giant Robo reference in my title. Watched the whole series this weekend. 8) Oh and yes, they are. By the way, have a tilde: ~

Goog,
In relation to the EarthBound quote, it's "Fuzzy Pickles," not "Fuzzy Pixels."

What happened to pics by CC!?!?

Hi goog.

I've been playing LoM and when i looked at my diary i noticed the events were not in the order i completed them. Does it matter which order i complete the events?

Stardust is given to a lady with a crying baby. She will give you rare items.

Van-Samaaaaaaaaa!

One of those cute little sproutlings says it in Dominia, awful blunt thing to say, isnt it?

Did you say hello?
No, I said allo, but that's close enough.
That was from Dark Crystal! :)
Odd question- pets or golems? Like I can't figure the answer to that...
