Welcome and good luck!

Pleasure to be one of the first to greet you! Always fun getting new blood here in Dasaria. Is the -sama suffix because you are Japanese? Hey, take it from me, Asians rock!

Welcome to the game.

*smiles*

And here I was hoping to make myself a decent name, to get here and find that "DM" is associated with "Hellball."

Well, you know what they say, if ya can't beat 'em...

Oh, and Clerified, -sama is simply the proper term of respect, and the name I use is a Japanese one. It seemed proper to use it.

Does this mean more Varanite attacks?

Jon Albrecht would like some activity

*coughs*

Not to disagree with a DM, but the name "farore" cannot be Japanese, as the sound combination "fa" does not exsist in normal Japanese unless you're using Japanese to say a foriegn word...

Reguardless, I ran the name through my Japanese writing program with an extensive translation dictionary, and came up with a blank.

Therefor, the DM is spouting nonsense and is only adding the "-sama" tag to make himself feel special. ;p

It should also be noted that energy buffer negates Hellball's damage completely, and with a potential to get 237 HP as a mage... so I suggest using Greater Ruin or some other form of damage to issue my smiting for correcting a DM...

Oh, and also, welcome, glad we're getting some fresh blood, don't worry, just remember, Agony's ideas of "fun" do not translate well into player fun.

That is all.

I'm sure with a quick fiddle Falson's chance of spell failure could be set to 98%, that would seem to be so much more "smite-ish"...

Just kidding - 85% is probably moe than adequate

Welcome,

Please remember that those of us whose names end in N'Asti, doesn't mean that what you need to be - towards us

Then again....

Or for the specifics that matter...

Wikipedia wrote: Farore

Farore is the Goddess of Courage. According to legend (told by the Deku Tree in Ocarina of Time), with her rich soul, she created all the life forms who would uphold the spirit of law. She also helped create the sacred Triforce, along with two other godsesses, Din and Nayru. She is often associated with the Triforce of Courage, the color green, and the elements of wind or forest.

Farore is a character in Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. In both games, she lives in one of the Maku Trees, and if you give her a code, she gives you an item. Exchanging codes between games is needed to get some secret items. The Minish Cap's figurine gallery refers to Farore as a helpful person looking for a house.

Farore actually appeared in Ocarina of Time's beta version in her golden goddess form, flying through Kokiri Forest. This part of the beta version did not make it in to the final version of the game.

There was planned to be a third Oracles game, which had Farore star equally as Nayru and Din are in Ages and Seasons. However, Miyamoto ultamately decided that it would be too hard to link three different games, so he dumped this one.

Wikipedia also wrote: The Legend of Zelda series (often shortened to just "Zelda") is a series of video games, created for Nintendo by industry legend Shigeru Miyamoto, and first published in February 1986. In Japan it is known as ゼルダの伝説 (Zeruda no Densetsu), and shortened to ゼル伝 (Zeru-Den). The games are primarily set in a fantasy world, in the Kingdom of Hyrule, although some have been set in different countries or other equally fantastic worlds. The gameplay consists of a mixture of action, adventure, and role-playing, occasionally with minor platform elements. The series is known for its beautiful and inspiring settings, creative gameplay, stirring original music, and high overall production values. It is widely considered one of the most influential video game franchises ever created. This also claimed the #1 spot on G4's "100 Greatest Games Of All Times".

Wiki is great, eh.

That is all.

I did say that forgien names in Japanese could have that sound combination, and something from a video game is basically using a made up name as far as Japanese is concerned, meaning while the name was come up with by the Japanese, the name itself is not proper Japanese.

That be like me spelling Falson "Faruson" and calling it Japanese 'cause I happened to spell it like if someone said it in Japanese.

This is a chart with all the normal Japanese sounds... (You'll note the "fa" sound is not amoung them.)
