Firstly, some of the music hasn't been changed. This may be solved by incorporating the OverClocked Remix album Voices of the Lifestream. It is a free download, and they have almost every bit of music remixed. Also, the ochestral version of One-Winged Angel from the More Friends album, which I would assume you will be using, is recorded from a live concert, so therefore there is a lot of cheering when Uematsu triggers the first notes of said song, so you may wish to use the remix. Or you could just use the Advent Children Soundtrack.

Secondly, Cloud looks really dark compared to the rest of the characters. Maybe you could lighten his color pallete? Or at least throw some light on him, for pete's sake, he looks like some shadow-mongering vampire. Oh, wait -

Hey Seifer.

Really sorry you had to restrict access to the page, I really enjoyed reading it, as it was very informative and interesting, but I understand that it needed protecting. Hope everything goes ok with it.

I and a translator have had a big laugh today, after finally sussing what Gighee is. We did mention it before, but now we know for SURE.

Gighee is Ziggy, named after the Bowie persona "Ziggy Stardust". The katakana is a direct translation to it.

It is completely modelled after him:

It even has a guitar as a tail!
is glam rocked :P
And has some of Bowies trade mark make up including:

It also has a move "Stardust march"

I am a big fan of Bowie, seems Nomura is too :P

That sounds pretty cool, great find (I found it amazing I didn't think of it, even after I saw your translation of "Ziggy").

Incidently (and this maybe the wrong pace to ask, so I will ask elsewhere if need be) I have always been somewhat intregued by the Gighee/Ziggy and Christopher battles - it really feels like I've missed something with it. They always appear together, as though they are a "team" or something, and Christopher has such a normal sounding name, he must have been inspired from something, it's like where supposed to know who "Christopher" is...
