So: Command and Conquer, Dune II, and Red Alert are the obvious choices.

Staying on music, the lyrics from One Winged Angel light up the stereos of many a Final Fantasy fan, but who actually wrote those lyrics?

Nobuo Uematsu?

No. He clipped them from somewhere.

Carl Orff. Most of the lyrics are from various songs in Carmina Burana.
Except the Sephiroth bit.

Well, if we want to be really picky about it, Carmina Burana comes from a medieval manuscript written by monks around the 13th century. Carl Orff took the poems and based his opera off of them.

So, who asks the next question now?

Ah, my turn. In which game(s) does the country Eritrea exist in your campaign threatre?

Side question: does the country really exists or just a fictitious one?

Mayabird · Post by **Mayabird** » 2005-03-13 12:01pm

Answering the side question: yes it does. It's in Africa on the coast of the Red Sea, bordered by Ethiopia (the two have been warring for quite some time, despite both being extremely poor third world countries) which it used to be a part of.

I ended a sentence with a preposition.
