Final Fantasy Poetry.

[Krissey]

This is a limeric, right? I think the bold lines should rhyme.

There once was a party in Midas
who started laughing like Tidus
The nerd rage was strong
as they played the mechanics wrong
So now they all have tendinitis.

I'll try a haiku

In deliverance
WAR bodies will soften but
Fell cleave gets them hard

I fixed it.

[Amnesia]

Tonberry Stalker
knife in front, leading us to
His Royal Highness

[Critical-Limit]

A death coming soon
But only for one Baffoon
L o L Dragoon

[AnduinLynn]

Pterodactyls, o' pterodactyls...
None will bite my bait!
I'll leave with nothing at this rate...
Red Balloons should do according to my book!
Perhaps you prefer something much tastier...
I shall return, next: with Lalafells on hook!

Dailies with my Duty Finder,
I have been the hater,
for low levellers,
who made me do the Haukke Manor.

But wait there's more,
as my bum becomes sore,
as the high level popper,
is the same thing but HARDER.

F*ck the noobs and haters,
I'm going with the players,
who are the speedier,
they are the Expert Roulette spammers.

But oh what a pointer,
for how much a giver,
of this party maker,
they make me go with the wipers.

SUMMONERS, WHERE YA BANE?
BLACK MAGES, WHERE YA FLARES?
DRAGOONS, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
PLEASE STOP THESE MADDENING FARES!

And now we get together,
as we all go to Idyllshire,
to prove we're hardworkers,
to make our gears shinier.

As our dailies are finished,
we turn to the cream of midcore,
the Void Ark runs I need,
to say that I am actually hardcore.

So, we reach the end,
My 3 hours in vain,
I count my gain,
and prepare myself again.

For another Duty Finder.

Midas doesn't rhyme with Tidus though I think.

I've been saying MY-dus this entire time. An achievement is named "The Midas Touch", which I believe is a reference to some commercial jingle for a car repair place. (Trust the Midas touch..)

Unless Tidus is being pronounced wrong?

It's a reference to the legend that King Midas turned everything he touched into gold. I guess the English pronunciation would be close to my-dus, I tend to pronounce it me-das (english pronunciation for 'me', german pronunciation for 'das')

Tidus is supposedly pronounced 'Tee-duss' (At least according to the voice actors on the Dissidia games!).

so many references! I like that it has more of a historical meaning than some car repair business.

I did not know this!

Actually, Gordias (the first Alex) is Midas' father (hence, Alex Gordias being 'xx of the father' and Alex Midas being 'xx of the son' in DF). The 2 are tied to Alexander (the Great) in that Gordias tied an ox-cart to a tree with an intricate know that no one managed to untie (which is where Gordian Knot comes from), until Alexander the Great a couple hundred years later popped over and just cut the thing rather than trying to untie it.
