The other day I searched for "Thumbnail theater" on Yahoo and found these two websites, inspired by the old Toasty Frog thumbnail parodys

http://amethyst-angel.com/ffxtt_main.html Final Fantasy X thumbnail theater

http://amethyst-angel.com/xenogears_main.html Xenogears Thumbnail theater.


They are both hilarious. I was laughing almost non-stop. I also found this website linked in one of the FF X chapters.

Ah. I appreciated Thumbnail Theater in some respects, so I'll have to check out the first and last (not being familiar with Xenogears).

the Xenogears ones are the best!!!!

Elly: Shut up! You suck!
Fei: Sheesh, hurry up and kill me already!
Elly: Hmmm, the reconnaissance didn't indicate Relena Peacecraft was in this forest… how odd.


Fei: …uh oh, what's with this suspiciously ominous music?
Grahf: Behold, my grand entrance as I vogue dramatically in front of the moon! Strike the pose!
Fei: What the… it's Darth Vader? We are dangerously toeing the line of out-and-out plagiarism, here.
Grahf: Shut your face, boy, I could kick Vader's *** from one end of this planet to the other without lifting a finger and you know it. Now then… I am Grahf, the seeker of power, and I have come to taunt you with cryptic hints about your true past!
Fei: Uh… okay…


Fei: I guess I must fight! But I don't like to fight! But fight I must! But I hate piloting Gears! But pilot it I must.
Shinji: Poser.
Fei: Shut up, Shinji, you suck. Now let's do it.



That last one is one of my favorite parts ^^. Reading them makes me want to play the game all over again. I hope he eventually finishes the series.

Shinji from Evangelion ^^. Many people have said that Fei is a Shinji wannabe, because they both whine about how they hate piloting their mechs and they don't want to fight.

Actually, I think he meant he wanted to make a Grandia II one before they did.

*Still waits for a Mr.T/ RPG flash movie.*
