Hey, uh... I don't really know you or anything, but... to be entirely honest, your journal name for Snow kind of bothers me a little. I know that sort of thing doesn't have to be serious or anything, but Snow's Eidolons are... twin sisters. So. Yeah.

Also, just from scanning your app posted there, I noticed a few errors:
- Snow's basic "weapon" is Wild Bear, not Wild Boar.
- It's Cie'th, not C'ieth.
- Cocoon myth contends that Eidolons appear to l'Cie who are deeply despairing and/or rebelling against their Focus; Pulse myth says that they're messengers of the goddess Etro to help despairing Focus-bearers (or something like that). Contrary to your short section about Shiva, gameplay and FFXIII's story seem to actually support both of these theories.

I know. It's a joke username taken from an FAQ I was using at the time. I can understand how it might bother some people but it's purely for the lulz I assure you.

Ah, thanks. The app's already been posted and approved but I'll take it into consideration.

Yeah, I figured that was the case, but... well, I'm one of those people who likes making sure even something like that doesn't give off a bad impression, and since as far as I know Siren's Pull is fairly dark-premised game rather than crack or something... eh, anyway. It's your journal, I just thought I'd point that out. :P Thanks for listening to a random nitpicker.

He's...not even close to being the only person there with a joke username, anon. And cracky names don't necessarily convey cracky games; it's a fairly common practice no matter what the game's tone. Everyone's got their personal preferences but this just seems like a kind of weird nitpick for an HMD.

I don't stalk the game so I really wouldn't know, but... that still doesn't change my opinion, which is obviously yes, only my opinion. Personally, I don't understand why you would want something cracky or whatever marking every post you make, especially if there's a chance it can be misconstrued and reflect on your characterization before someone even gets a chance to look at the posts themselves. Because of that, I don't think it's that odd to bring up on an HMD. I'd probably be bringing up the same thing if I saw a Vanille with the journal name hatesflowers or something: if you knew the character, you'd know that she certainly doesn't hate flowers (or much of anything, really), so even if there was a legitimate reason behind the name you'd still be kind of wondering, right? That's a terrible example, but hopefully that makes sense ( ... )
