Submit: Week 396
Please note that this challenge will run for two weeks, as I will be at an Anime convention all next weekend and unable to do any moderating ^^'
The themes for Week 396 are as follows, you may submit two different CLAMP icons provided they each fit at least one of the challenges below. A list of series and galleries are available here for your convenience.
Technical: Square Enix Titles
Your icon must feature the title of one of Square Enix's many games/series, no additional text is allowed with the exception of tiny or decorative text brushes. I've included a list of some such titles to make things easier on you guys, but feel free to do a further search for others that I may have missed.
NOTE: Some series have multiple versions marked with Roman numerals, which I have cited in brackets, it is not possible to include these numbers. Likewise, some original games also have subtitles to distinguish them in the series, which I've also separated with brackets when long enough on their own (e.g. more than one word), you do not have to use the full title in these cases. Lastly some titles have more than one translation, in which case I've included both separated by (or's) so you may choose either one

Quote: Arthur Schopenhauer
You must use at least three consecutive words from the following quote. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation/letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &) or vice versa (e.g. ' with the missing letter/s). You are not allowed to incorporate any external text with the exception of tinytext/brushes that are purely decorative and not legible. Don't forget to proofread your entry to avoid potential errors.
