This is a Japanese RPG you inuits, why would they have the characters' names in English in the screenshots?

Becides that name is entirely too gay for reality.

Squall? Cloud? There are a plethora of other "gay" names in Final Fantasy that have made it to reality. Not that I really care or anything. I doubt I'm even going to play this one. It looks like 12 is probably going to be my last experience playing a new Final Fantasy (unless they decide to make a sequel to Tactics that's actually good).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why do you need this distinction explained to you?

Um, I don't. I was simply pointing out that there were others equally as gay. And for your information, Squall and Cloud make just as much sense as Lightning...

How ya doing, buddy?
