Final Fantasy Poetry.

[SaranMage]

So here is a fun game that is meant to be creative and because I'm a little weird how about some poetry about final fantasy I'll go first.

There once was a party in Midas, who started laughing like Tidus, The nerd rage was strong as they continued to wipe that now they all have tendinitis.

[AskaRay]

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')

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

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

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.

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 continued to wipe
that now they all have tendinitis.

I'll try a haiku

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

The nerd rage was strong
as they played the mechanics wrong
So now they all have tendinitis.

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

I fixed it.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Bowties are cool
And so are you

On the 28th day,
of the second umbral moon
Washed up a lonely female Hyur in Limsa,
whom all thought was a loon

She sang, she laughed, and she danced with local pirates
Too soon to acquire herself a grimoire, and face the dangers of the climates
As kind as she is beautiful, she helps the people without pity
Quickly tagged an adventurer, doing selfless deeds for the city

Who is she? There's something about her. Those eyes. Can't you see?
They gleam radiant purple. As foretold in the prophecy.
Everyone sees it too. That she is too good to be true.
She makes an enemy with every friend, yet her gratuity knows no end.

Little did everyone know, that the moon child who washed ashore that night
Arrived within the walls of Limsa Lominsa, Eorzea's warrior of light.
