I particularly like how much the Final Boss fight takes from Dante's divine comedy.

[Truean]

Exactly, pretty much all of it does.

Even that move of his "Fallen One," which reduces your party's health to 1 HP, goes on the Dante theme.

"Fallen One" = Satan = Dante's Inferno reference. You're fighting the devil with an evil, annoying laugh.

[Darvi]

Where does Ultros fit in then?

[Truean]

Comic relief?

I mean as I recall, the guy starts out as a boss you're supposed to take seriously and then gradually gets repeated and "rebeated" to the point where he's nearly a joke. Until, finally, he just ends up having some job in the Colosseum.

Unless of course you mean how does Ultros fit into the Divine Comedy thing of the game. I dunno. I'm pretty sure Kafka does, but I dunno about the rest.

Once again literary analysis is thwarted by a giant octopus....

[Wrex]

Suffice to say, Kefka is both Satan and God, although I'm sure you've read the Divine Comedy and can guess why.

[Vorthon]

...I've really got to pick up a copy of the Divine Comedy sometime.

[Descan]

I love you, Truean. Let's go out.

Anyway, my happy today is that I got to work in another Polish warehouse.

I don't even know why that makes me happy! It just does!

[Vorthon]

Maybe there's a kind of zen component to it? I know that applying price stickers to books at the Salvation Army is pretty relaxing.

[Descan]

The Polish part is the key part. :U Just generic Poles.

I don't know why I like working in POLISH warehouses. I just do.

[Flying Dice]

Too... much... innuendo.

*hurk*

[Sirus]

Wait, are you talking about the Polish people or polish the chemical that makes stuff shiny?

[Wrex]

Mmmmm. I am so glad I know how to cook.

[Descan]

Why would I be capitalized polish if I didn't mean Polish? :I

[Aklyon]

I thought Descan was polishing Poles.

[Wrex]

So tonight's dinner!:

Slow cooked pulled pork, mixed in with my own special sauce, on potato bread.
Noodles with white sauce, flavoured with leeks.
And a fresh fruit salad for desert.

Yum. And leftovers for daaaaaays.
