Final Fantasy 6, one of my best classic RPG

Nothing, I just want to write something that could erase my sadness.

Final Fantasy 6 is one of my all time favorite epic story in all rpg games. I got this game first when I was first year high school. I trade my sailormoon fighting game from a friend who dont like this game and I could say he's dumb. I trade 1 sailormoon of snes(super nintendo) for 4 japanese language game,Original Dragon Quest 7, and Final Fantasy 4, 5 and 6. Im interested in all final fantasy that time because I know its a game made by squaresoft, Im a big fan of Chrono Trigger that time and Akira Toriyama. Chrono Trigger is one of the hit game of Squaresoft. I conquered FF5 and 6 in japanese, I dont know what im doing, I just go with the flow of the story line. I played it again in playstation remake and pc emulator, that's the only time I understand the story. This and the chrono trigger is the only rpg I could narrate from beginning to end and I can describe all the characters and their abilities and narrate their story line. For me this game is classic.


MOG - he's one of the trademark characters of final fantasy that you could see in all FF series. In ff6, moogles are hidden tribe that lives under a cave, they protect some treasures and artifacts. If you save them from the monsters attack, one of them will be your ally. He uses spears as weapon and he could sing well, he uses melody to put status damge on enemies.

Locke Cole - a treasure hunter and a thief, he's searching for rare treasures on mountains and caves, in the middle of his advneture, he met Celes and fell in love at first sight. He saves her from Kefka who wants her to use as human weopons.

Cyan Garamonde - The leader of that Garamonde's Castle. He's a master swordsman but one day, kefka's soldier attacks his empire to eliminate him from their territory. All of his men were poisoned including her wife and daughter. He joins the team to avenge their death.

Sabin Figaro - Brother of Edgar Figaro. he's only interested in being strong, lurking on the mountains to train him self fighting with the monsters. One day, the brothers had an agreement of who would be the ruler of their kingdom, they toss a coin, heads or tail, and Sabin lost so he exiled himself and ran away from the palace to live on his own.

Celes Chere - A special girl who's immune with magic. So kefka is interested in draining her powers. Celes is popular actress so she cant hide herself on the crowd. But after she met Locke, she found a new hope for her life.

Gau - the jungle boy who loves animals and monsters. He lives along the wilds. He's the protector of the harmless beast. He has the power to copy monster's abilities.

Setzer Gabiani - The Pilot of the Great Floating Ship. He's the master of gambling and casino. He specialize in card games, slots and dices.
His lover died in a plane crash so after that, he devoted himself taking care of the ship.

Terra Branford - The son of esper and human, so she's half esper half human. She's the most powerful among the group. The moment she turns into an esper, she could uses magic 4 times its original power. She's sweet caressing woman who takes good care of the orphans. But Kefka wants to turn her into a materia to uses her power in evill deeds.

Edgar Figaro - The prince of Figaro Castle, he specialize in mechanics and technology. He's the engineer of advnace weapons and the moving underground castle. He's also inlove with Celes Chere.

Shadow - profile unkown. he's an excellent assassin for hire. he's said to be the father of Relm Arrowny. Shadow always hangs out with his bestfriend dog who fights also in battle.




Relm Arrowny - the adorable little girl who is gifted in painting. she could paint enemy and make them animated.

Strago Magus - The old man guardian, grandfather of Relm Arrowny who's willing to sacrifce himself for the safety of Relm. Relm is spoiled with him.

Gogo - A special character that can be found under the lost dungeon. He's a clown, entertainer, something like that. He lost his way and got trapped underneath the small island. He has the power of mimicry.

Umaro - Another special character who's always berserk and frenzy. He's the strongest among the group in terms of physical attributes. He lives up the snow peak of the north. The people hates him so much so he just keeps hiding inside the caves but the truth is, he's a loving creature and protects the village from Kefka's Soldiers. He's not a human actually, he's a big foot.

Without final fantasy 6, there's no final fantasy 7. So this game is one of my inspiration.

CELTIC WOMAN


Celtic Woman's Best Concert in america just aired some half an hour ago. And Im so surprised that they are airing it. I didnt know that this group do concerts for WGBH.ORG fund, just like a charity that helps poor places all over the North America continent especially those people with disabilities. If only I have enough money, I'll support this organization.

Celtic Woman is my "best" female group of singers that exist right now and probably in the whole history in my opinion. If you ever think there's any other female group of singer in this world better than them, get lost, you dont know what you're talking about. 'Talent' is the name of the game. It doesn't need to be that "popular". But right now, this group is trying to cut the edge and now have a golden records selling 500,000 copies just being an 'independent' record artists.

Im just so lucky to catch it a while ago, because my granma is browsing a channel of baseball, and she suddenly cross onto that channel, a single second to view it, i knew its the celtic woman concert. And i run to my room right away to watch it.

Their songs are classical crossovers, praise songs, christian themes and irish songs. Well technically they are from Ireland thats why. Im not a religiuos person but I admire all the lovely melodies and message of these praise and irish songs. Its the best light classical tunes of all time. I dont care if its corny or mushy or whatever they say, its my music, who cares.

I never fell in love with a singer in one sitting just by watching and hearing her voice. Well all of them have a distinct siren's voice just like the voice of Sharon Adel of Within Temptation. A very high level of sopranos and so clean falcettos that could match a high pitch of violin, cielo and flute so perfectly and gracefully. And another thing, I never fell in love in western beauties, well practically, they are europeans, ehehe. But still, they're all lovely in the truest sense of the word.

Celtic Woman is a group of five soloist of a very talented female singers founded by David Downes. And their concert are accompanied by orchestra, percussionists and a whole set of choir.

--> Meav Ni Maolchata, she cames from a family of classical musician in Dublin. She has done concerts in Korea, Japan and Netherlands.

--> Lisa Kelly of Dublin also. The lead famale Vocalist Of Riverdance, the former name of Celtic Woman before it makes a breakthruogh in america.

-->Dierdre Shannon, the newest member and hottest babe of the group. She's also a versatile musician, the birghtest among them that could play piano, guitar, violin, flute and harp.

-->Orla Fallon, the most kick ass talented singer among them, she sings while she plays the harp, take note, its harp not a typical grand piano. Thats superb!

--> Chloe Agnew, she's the one I fell in love with. She's the cutest and the youngest among them just around 16-17 years old. She's not the best and the pretiest singer but i just love her eyes, her kissable shiny lips, her cheeks, and her long blondy hair upto his waist, and ofcourse her lovely voice to. The time she sings the song "AVE MARIA", my heart beats so fast as if she's just infront of me. She's a nice girl, she even volunteered to record a single release for a charity in afghanistan. I wish i could meet someone like her.

-->Máiréad Nesbitt ,she's a special member but one of the most significat soloist in terms of showmanship. She's a profesional violinist, she dance while she performs. She's so beautiful and sexy, she could be the 5th member of the "Bond", the gorup of 4 violinist hot babes.

I never saw a concert in tv that had so much impact in my life. So inspiring, all of my sadness and anxiety was swept away. And I never fell in love with a blonde singer. Chloe Agnew, shes a goddess!!! She's even wearing my favorite color even in the concert itself.

I want to watch their concert in The Opera House in boston down town on November 11, MIRACLES PLEASE! I want to meet her in person.(dream on)

Their best piece:
- Orinoco's Flow(its one of my all time favorite classics, im so glad they made a version of this)
- Harry's Game
- The Ashtenki Farewell (the violin solo of Maeread accompanied by percusions)
- You Raise me up (by Josh Groban who sings the Broken Vow)
- My Logan Love (soooooo lovely song)
I think all of their piece are the best.............
