I seem to be endlessly amused by old, dated, corny, and grade B

I love this game. It makes me giggle. It goes along being a classic old 8-bit D&D spinoff video game, and then suddenly the script writer gets bored and throws in a hint of Terry Pratchett.

I feel compelled to make a userpic with one of the zany villain battle quotes.

I'd forgotten that quote, but it makes a great icon. Is it Gilgamesh? It sounds like Gilgamesh.

Yes, it's Gilgamesh. (Amano concept art above, but as usual it's so artsy fartsy it's hard to recognize the character). Sub-villains are so often more entertaining than head villains.

Oh dear. My brain runs in strange ways. Since Gilgamesh is voiced by John DiMaggio/Wakka in XII (where one of the boss sequences from V is copied for a Mark Hunt, the "Battle on the Big Bridge", complete with a reprise of Gilgamesh's battle soundtrack), and Jihl -- who didn't get half enough screentime -- is voiced by Paula Tiso/Lulu, there should be some weird AU Dissidia universe where they're partners.

I found that mark hunt in FFXII highly entertaining. A neat Easter Egg for those of us who played FFV!

Mysterious or no, I like how your brain is working there...
