    Imagine Hugh Hefner's mansion was really an airship, and he only had one bunny...

    Man, Ronaldo, you're just jealous of my man, Urkel.

    You're with Urkel? What's that like?

    As if. I have about as much a chance with Urkel as you do, dork.

    But come on, you can at least regurgitate what the game has shown you, no?

    Balthier is an airship captain and Fran is his co-pilot. They are pirates and go on adventures. They have lots of sexual tension. Fran is also part rabbit.

    This isn't very hard, Greeper.

    Friends with benefits? Friends with a romantic interest that are unwilling to commit? Friends satisfied with what they currently have that have no urge to change it?

    Maybe it's supposed to be sexual tension but they can't convey it because it's final fantasy.

    a bad one.

    The most important thing to understand is Fran and Balthier are two people, who just found each other... in by far the worst game of the series.

    Freaking Greeks...

    Sublime writing is writing that stirs the emotions!

    But sir, what are the sources of the sublime?

    Well, one of the sources of the sublime is the ability to stimulate powerful and inspired emotions in others.

    Thank you! Plato is an orwellian asshole anyway.

    Don't get me started on Aristotle. God damn. Dude decides he can gloss over explaining what catharsis is but gives me a two page break down on how verbs work.

    How dare you.

    My boy Socrates and Plato get it all done. He taught me to view the world in a different way. The writings of his trial and the events that preceded it were monumental in my earliest understandings of philosophy. HOW DAER YOU.

    I suppose "think greek" can't be for everyone.
