Hard to believe Allen's VA does Shetland in Last Exile and Matsu and Gaspard in .hack//G.U. The guy has AMAZING range!

I saw that icon, or...one like it, on xeno_icons back in the archives. XD I want to see that scene so badly~

LAST EXILE WAAAAAAAAH~~

I made this one (http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q141/taraicons/xenosaga/bff58163-5.png) a while back! But the post I had linked it to back then is gone since I moved icon journals since.

Exactly! I was so excited to have that character and see their playing, but I figured everyone was all excited to play with them and I was just another little fangirls. I got super happy from just doing one thread with them and I hope I get to do more and not chicken out.

I have been dying to hear about his past, too. I really find him intriguing. Really, though, I just love ALL the characters SO much. Even...Shion. For now. Though I have been warned. :x

The poor man! It's amazing how many heart attacks he's narrowly avoided thus far!

Sounds like my predicament. D:
Well...do you like AIM RPs? I feel silly asking to listen to your Allen, but, I would like to...or even RP. Though that's probably a bit weird coming from an anonymous stranger. XD

... wtf your icon.

Last Exile is LOVE! <3 And chaos' voice was Dio! I never KNEW!

I don't recall seeing that one, though it was the same scene. XDD I love it!

fountains of wayne are bloody brilliant. they make me think of Office Space and bad suburban love stories. ♥

15. You have made me so incredibly happy by posting a Xenosaga secret. ;-; Especially what you said about Xenosaga II. That segment gets way too much fandom hate, and the battle system was challenging, which is why I love it.

AND YEY, ALLEN LOVE. Some of the things he said just made me shake my head, but I love him, and while I hate Kevin, Allen!torture IS fun. XD But maybe that's because it's all they've been doing to him for three episodes? You're not the only one that ships Allen/not!BITCH!Shion, though! I hate Shion, but that pairing just makes me flail like crazy. ;~;

I should probably stop rambling now. XD'' LOVE THE SECRET, LOVE THE GAME. YOU'RE NOT ALONE, FELLOW FAN~

4. I don't blame you at all for your aversion to this (hell, I had no idea until this secret came in that this kind of thing even existed. Call me sheltered ^^;), I don't blame any Jewish person (or anyone at all, really) for not wanting to touch it with a thirty nine and a half foot pole. But I do feel the need to play devil's advocate for this. In three pages of comments, not one person has, so the task falls to me.

Get your flames ready, everyone!

Nazi/Jew I could see being done, if it was done carefully. I'm not saying people would have to like it, I'm not saying it would be done just for the "edginess" factor which I saw mentioned earlier. Be it het or slash, I really could see it being done. I'm not going to go into specifics since I'm no historian, I just boast a general knowledge of what happened during that time period, so bear with me.

The long and short of it is this: Not every member of the Nazi party was a willing participant. Sure, there were the hardcore Heil Hitler types that characterize the Germans of the day, but then there were those who were Nazis in name only. Perhaps to save themselves from a fate worse than death. Perhaps they didn't want to be a voice of dissent in a time when that meant subjecting yourself to the whims of madmen with little hope of survival. People do what they must in order to stay alive. Sometimes it means doing some pretty unsavory things (such as cannibalism a la the Donner party), sometimes it means subscribing to ideals that you have no interest in having a part of.

Yes, I get that you're probably talking about Nazi/Jew where the Nazi is a hardcore Hitler lover. But I just wanted to point out that there can be exceptions to everything.

I don't know, I guess to me it's like Nazi/Jew is like American/person of Japanese descent in that same era. Yes, I know that there are differences, and they're vast, but the idea is sort of the same. Captor/captive. Oppressor/oppressed.

Doesn't make it right. Doesn't make it any less weird for those personally affected. But something to think about.

FLAME ON. Just remember, personal attacks mean I mock you and freeze the thread. I HAVE MOD POWER.

I'm actually hugely familiar with the dub cast they chose for the anime. I think it might very well be in good hands (and the guy they got for Ziggy was pre-casted, he sounds nearly like him!). The ADR director is a fan of the games and went ahead and even began playing them in order to properly cast the anime. So...it seems like they are trying and that's about as good as we can hope.
I'm still favourable towards her episode I voice, but I do like her new one. My only qualm was that she sounded like she had marbles in her mouth for a couple lines or so, but still...cute voice. It wasn't as drastic as KOS-MOS.
As for chaos...I get the feeling his more serious voice suits him better. I admit...I only just started Xenosaga III. I'm a huge n00b.

I forgot to do those on occasion and I sure paid the price when I did! XD

Yeah, I'm a bit...shy enough as it is, a bit timid, and reading such secrets when I was already a bit hesitant to try and join really sealed the deal for me. :x I stick to AIM RPs and quite like those as it is not so...crowded. I checked your profile, though, you're apart of that one community that seems to get the most crap. D: Bah, I wish others didn't judge so harshly.

You seem really cool, though! I'd like to friend you. :3

13 seriously cracked me up... WTF?

I'm sure Colbert would approve of this, though... "If you have the opportunity to sell all your friends and family into slavery in order to hang out with yours truly, do not hesitate!"

I second it.

I'm quite pleased to see the secret is generating so many positive responses. I was honestly expecting a slew of immense HATE at either the cutscenes or episode II.
I love the challenge in episode II's battle system so much...I even miss it! Episode III's battle system is so watered down, but it has a few nice additions.

"It's all a part of being a man. And the power of love!" - THAT made my head explode. XDD! Yet I will NEVER forget it. I just could not decide whether to laugh or cry. And, dear god I HATE Kevin! He's such a jerk! I admit though that I am currently playing episode III, but I DO so look forward to this fight you speak of. Oh it sounds so good! :D!
I so badly want to hunt down Allen x Shion fics, but, gah...I have to finish episode III first lest I run into spoilers. D:
Is it wrong that I built a HaKox level of PAIN just to squish Allen and fling him off the edges? I'm so horribly sadistic. XD;;

I encourage the rambling, but oh god I'm such a n00b for replying to all the comments. XD

Yeah, I checked out the cast and I don't know many of them, but I'm optimistic! There was a premire at Anime Iowa apparently waaaah. I can't wait til the first DVD comes out next month, I wanna check it out!

Aha yeah. XD Especially in-battle. And chaos is great, he sounds awesome in III. :D

Aww. :( That's too bad, I know how it is being timid cause I am over a lot of things in general. But RP-wise, I tend to just... well it sounds BANDWAGONY PERHAPS but I laugh because RP's all for fun and I don't see the point getting so angry over it. AIM RPs are great, I haven't done one in forever. XD

Go ahead, friend away! =D Loev making new buddies~

Why can't the secret poster do both? Does fandom really interfere with college that much?

Damn, really??? Argh...I've been dying to hear a preview. Even their site only has a trailer set to music- no voices or anything. D:
I forgot it was coming out so soon, though...I want to get it. But I've been avoiding the anime because, well, isn't it unfinished? It's only the first game. I take it there won't be anymore? D:

I'm crushing on him at the moment! This game is just frustrating because I can't seem to pick a favourite character- for the most part I love them all.
I haven't seen Shion go into bitch mode, yet, but I've been warned.

Nah, that's not bandwagony. I'm more so just timid being in a community or whatnot and knowing everyone can read and judge what I say. I would much rather someone pull me aside and tell me I suck and how to improve then some of the awful secrets I see posted behind backs. D: I like people who are up front because I would want to improve. :3
I tried my first random AIM RP a couple months ago...which was a first for me- it's been going well! I really like the whole...pace of them, too. :D

Added! Don't mind my random craziness. XD

Me toooo. ;.; And I'm preeeeeetty sure there's not gonna be any more than what it is, anime-wise. I know the mangaka who did the first Xenosaga manga (that I'm scanning for a scanlation project with someone :D!) is working on an Episode II adaptation, but. I wish they'd re-do the anime for all three games, that'd be fab. *_*

Oh god yes I love the whole cast. ;_; Jr. is my favorite and I love the URTVs but... going through the whole game I just loved everyone at various points, they're all so awesome. And ahaha yeah, I think she is justified in her bitchiness, but. XD

Yeah... x.x; We do have a side community and posts in character journals for that kind of thing, cause I'm not alone in feeling that way. XD But yeah, it's great and I have a blast, so that's all that matters in the end to me~.

And uho not at all. If you wanna talk random crazy... >D

There was more wrong with Xenosaga than just the cutscenes.

*Applause* Good for you for being decisive enough to admit to yourself that you want to do something and then do it!

I think people here are being too hard on your for this. College doesn't make, break, or define a life. It's something that some people do, and others don't. A lot of people think they HAVE to go because society approves of it, and I find that sad. I tried college, found it it wasn't for me, and I'm just going to quit after next semester and move on with my life. I think people should try as many things as possible, but be able to move on when something isn't working. I admire that in a person.

Kudos to you, and remember to do what makes you happy in life. I wish you the very best.

13. It'd SO be worth it, though.

Thank you so much! This comment really made me happy, I've been having so many doubts about rpging and fandom in general that seeing someone who is so supportive really touched me.

<3 Kudos for playing Shadow!

I find Simon as sexy as fuck, and Edgar is just gorgeous. I know there's Nick/Simon RPS out there, why is there no Edgar love? They are the most obvious OT3 since the Doug Anthony Allstars.

OH YEAH, my bad. But you have to agree his one eyebrow is very stylish.

You don't even have to ask~ ♥
