Personally, I have no problem with watching fansubs if I can't get the real thing in stores. I'd been collecting the Yami no Matsuei (Descendents of Darkness) fansubs for a while now, but since it's been licensed here, I still plan on buying the things once they're released. From what I know, most higher-end fansubbers purchase the actual DVD's of the anime they want to sub, then encode it and sub it that way, so it's not as big of a deal. That's just my view though, and I'm usually pretty liberal.

It's always hard to get the skinny on laws nobody ever bothers to enforce, isn't it? Anyway though, this brings up one of the great mysteries of life:

Why is it legal for VCRs and audio tape players to have record buttons?

There's only two reasons you need to have copyright laws. #1- To keep people from stealing credit for things. #2- To make sure people get paid for the stuff they make. When you're recording something, the first takes care of itself as long as you don't cut off the credits. With the second one though...

When recording something, you're either A- taking something you bought rented or borrowed, and creating a new copy of it practically for free, which is nasty and illegal and bad. Or B- recording something broadcast freely over the airwaves, which is oddly enough, also illegal.

Now, in Google's Little Fantasy World, anything which has ever been broadcast on the TV or radio can be freely recorded and distributed the world over. Largely because in the real world when you have something like a fansubbed anime series or some MP3 rips flying around, it's basically free advertising. If someone is of the mindset to pay for episodes of TV series or CDs, they'll do it whether they've seen/heard it or not. Meanwhile cheapskates will just wait for it to come on TV or the radio and grab it. But again, this is all just Google's Little Fantasy World here.

So anyway, longwinded means of saying it, but that's why I don't watch fansubbed OAVs as a general rule.

1. Well... there's the Aria de Mezzo Cartarre from FF3/6, if you can count that as a vocal. FFVIII has Liberi Fatali (opening) and Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec (of which there are variations). I never played much of FFIX so I wouldn't know if that even had one, and FFX had, uh... not sure. Got bored of the thing and never finished it, so it's sitting on my TV while I enjoy Wild ARMS 3 :D

Googleshng:
Bit of a nebulous question there. Anyway, picking up what Kathleen there missed, FF7: One-Winged Angel, FF8: Eyes on Me, FF9: Melodies of Life, FF10: Otherworld, and Isn't it Beautiful.

Googleshng:
Ew... that question was maimed by technical difficulties.

Kathleen:
3. Sadly, I've never played Legend of Dragoon.

Googleshng:
Sadly, I have played Legend of Dragoon. Near the enterence to one of the larger towns in the game is some guy who offers to sell it to you. I believe you have to buy a couple overpriced pieces of junk first. Been a while. Might want to check one of our walkthroughs if you need something more concrete.

Kathleen:
4. Hooboy, let's see... Tales of... stuff is always good in my opinion, and .hack looks very promising. I'll definitely be picking that one up. Other than that, there doesn't look to be anything really promising that's coming up any time soon. Even with those groups of RPGs in the fore, there's not too much that's anime based. You could go for the Arc the Lad collection; though it's already released, I've heard nothing but praise for it.

Googleshng:
Again, your phrasing is kinda vague. RPGs based on anime series or just with an anime sort of look to'em? Oh, and do they have to be America-bound? I'm really just going to have to cop out with a "maybe" on this one.

Kathleen:
If I were to be all like my psychology 101 professor, I'd say that Cloud suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and a bad case of multiple personality disorder. Failing that, I'd say he's posessed or something. Seems like Sephiroth's got a strangle hold on his willpower, thus able to make him do stuff he doesn't want to ("Give me the Black Materia!"). I say multiple personality disorder because he keeps doing that double-image thing, and I kinda assume that's another personality.

Googleshng:
Hmm... Brain, did you get the line "I live... again!" from Army of Darkness?

Google's Brain:
Yeah.

Googleshng:
Dagnabit! Next time you do that tell me so I don't get all confused like that!

Google's Brain:
Sorry.

Googleshng:
I may not be an idiot, but there's a good number of signs pointing to my being a robot, like how I interpret most things too darn literally. Anyway though, I wouldn't say Cloud has MPD. He was just a regular guy that was experimented on a bit and developed serious cases of schitzophrenia, some disassociative identity disorder, and a slew of other things, and that's not even getting into Freudian interpretations.
