As for "Rantima," thatÆs absolutely correct. The problem is that AGRIAS doesn't know that, and should know better when she believes that this is the SAME Altima. Granted, she has the excuse of being exhausted, but still... thatÆs pretty stupid on her part.
I think Agrias is way beyond exhausted at this point. Think about it: you're a woman (and don't even start the whole sexism debate, it cannot be disputed that women are not as physically adept as men, nor do they usually have the same stamina - they make up for this by being a hell of a lot smarter than most of us guys) who's been fighting a lengthy battle all throughout a monastery and some massive city that exists on an alternate dimension entirely (I've effectionately dubbed Murond as one of the Circles of Hell, and I've made several allusions to Murond in some of my older fics - for instance, in my now-scrapped original fiction [originally dubbed Tales of Grandia], the main character, villain, and my penname's namesake, the Dark Knight warlord Gafgar Adol [also note that his name and profession are also nods to Gafgarion, my favorite character in FFT until I got to ze Thunder God Cid], rules his demonic empire from a citadel known as Murond), this battle has been going on for an indeterminate amount of time (possibly even several days) and likely without stop for rest, you fight through hordes of enemies both human and demonic, you square off against an uberpowerful demon that by merely encountering him you find out that your religion that you've devoted your life to (Agrias is a Holy Knight of the Church after all) is false, you barely manage to defeat him, only to get incinerated by some blast of energy and rematerialized somewhere else (which has got to hurt like a bitch), you wind up being carried through the city streets on the back of a yellow ostritch big enough to be Colonel Sanders' wet dream, and then the demon you barely managed to defeat earlier suddenly shows up again right in front of you? Anyone would take at least a moment to scream about it.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but Agrias is currently wearing enough armor and enough of her uniform's remnants that she's decent. She just looks like she's been hrough a blender.? :snigger:? :snigger:?
I actually shouted "damnit" loud enough to wake my neighbors when I read that. They want to kill me now. Thanks.

That... about covers it, yeah. Agrias just kinda let frustration speak there.

I aim to please. Mostly myself. :snigger: :snigger: :rofl: :rofl:

HEH! You're imagery is amusing. I'll concede. It's easily excusable, although it's still pretty stupid. Heh, that was actually a more intelligent expression of frustration that many would give.

However, even though I don't want to get into a sexist debate either, I very much doubt ANY of the other characters from the FFT party would have faired better, besides maybe Ramza, male or female. So that's sort of a pointless comment. Cid might be one, but he's also an old geezer, so that's got to slow him down in health.

BTW, The Zodiac War is up now.

Nah, it was just a gag. I removed it. The idea of Loki behind the mess is amusing, but at the moment, he doesn't really fit.
That and I think it might cause some people to ask if you're going to add on another crossover like Valkyrie Profile or even from the Marvel Universe if Loki was even mentioned.

I note that Byblos is not there and Boco is. (which I suppose bumps the FFT cast up to six) so I assume that it's 'ported' off in another area of the Ranma/Sailor Moon world for now? (heck, I'm not sure how old it is so you could have it gone back into time as well for all I know and have it live off in yet another dark dungeon until Ranma and Agrias find it)
