  2. Raging Tofu
    One who harbors an unreasonable and/or unshakable hatred for one or more other persons. Often this is due to a difference in opinions, but instead of letting it go, the hater ekes out their existence by calling out their intended victim and their errors continuously, while demonstrating, in various ways, why their target's views are incorrect. The key things being their 'always right' attitude and inability to kindly STFU.

    Short answer: saying it as "keesk" or "kees-kay" are acceptable, though the former is the correct version. Overture's pronunciation of it as "kissk" is just wrong. Long answer: Based on the characters used to write his name: キスク (kisuku) this gives it the pronunciation of it "keesk", since in spoken Japanese ス (su) is more of a hissed "s" sound and ク (ku), when used at the end of a word, implies a hard ending sound. Technically, the "ku" sound is still there, but the inflection isn't as strong. To hear this pronunciation, just watch the X promo trailer (it's at the 2:44 mark, the person who uploaded that even notes the pronunciation XD). The fact that the English spelling of his name ends in an "e" (since it's taken from former Helloween member Micheal Kiske) has lead to the "kees-kay" pronunciation, and most people aren't bothered by this. (In katakana though, this would be written キスケ-kisuke.) However, as Micheal is German, the pronunciation would be something like "keys-ka" since an "e" in German sounds like a soft "a" (a soft "a" having more of an "uh" sound than "ah" sound) Regardless, キスク/"keesk" mimics this pretty well. As for Overture's way of saying it as "kissk"... I just write it off as a misinterpretation of understanding vowel lengths (long vs. short/stressed vs. unstressed) It's like pronouncing "heel" and "hill" the same way. The words sound similar, but their pronunciation is actually different.

    Every official profile for Ky lists his eye color as blue-green.

    Y'know, oddly enough, I didn't even think of GG2's 3-D models when I answered that. Way more easier than studying 2-D sprites XD

    Answers: 1. Sol is left-handed, Ky is right-handed. This has been determined from official art mostly, but I think Sol's was mentioned in an interview at some point. You can also tell from their game sprites (see GG2). 2. I'm just going to quote this from the Plot FAQ Ed did- Before starting the Robo-Ky incident, they were a highly secret organization, possibly having been founded sometime around the end of WWII. 3. Short answer- Airships are fucking fast.

    I'm pretty sure we've already covered Marina at some point in this thread, but here it is again: She was a lady Ky befriended in the Lightning the Argent novel. Originally she was in a wheelchair but after receiving a new medicine from the Blackard company, she was able to use her legs again. However, the medicine was created using Gear cells, which reacted (rather violently) when Solaria (a command-type Gear they may have also had a hand in creating) sang. Specifically in Marina's case, her legs basically blew themselves off. It's unknown what's happened to her beyond this point. (I have no idea if it's elaborated upon in the novel or not, no translations of it.) Marina before she received the medicine. Marina after she received the medicine. Marina's legs reacting to Solaria's singing.

    Well.... I don't know where Suzaku's at with the translations of those short stories, you'll have to ask him. I assume you mean Ky's girlfriend here, so.... So there you have it.
  11. Raging Tofu
    Yes, that is a respost. FFFFfffffff-XD Don't tell me something like that, it just encourages it. I'd love to have more information on the happenings of the Crusades. I don't see it as something that will ever be elaborated on in the games, so hopefully Drama CDs? Another book? Or maybe even that anime he wants to do? Overture was fine, story's a little wonky but that's only because we don't have all the pieces for it. I'm cool with it actually (the story, not the gaps).

    Not ragging on Overture. Just Daisuke's story-telling skills. Of course, you could always go for Option 2.

    I've got copies of all those sprites. Better to have more than one back-up source, right?
  15. Raging Tofu
    I whole heartedly support this. Already got some ideas/things in the works so make yourself available so I can fill you in.
