Nothing too serious here. Just a stray Gundam reference that got more interesting with some recent changes to FFXI.
In FFXI, one of the monster types is 'bats'. This 'monster' is a cluster of three small bats (different from the larger single bat monster type), and is fairly notorious for a very nasty, high damage attack called 'Jet Stream'. Sound familiar? Then there's the bats NM (notorious monster) that's a rare spawn and goes by the name 'Dark Tri-Stars'. And finally, the most recent expansion (came out not quite two weeks ago) added the Blue Mage job type to the game. As in other Final Fantasy games, Blue Mages learn their spells and skills from monsters within the game. One of those abilities is Jet Stream. And while there's nothing special about the animation when bats do the attack, the Blue Mage animation has a trio of small black objects that converge on the target. :P junior -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
