Yeah. I actually played till right after getting the Ragnarok recently, deciding it was stupid to hate a game I'd only played for an hour and that it had to get better, but that shit with Rinoa, and that god damn theme song (how the hell does Faye Wong get her voice to sound like Olivia Newton-John's anyway?) made me feel like I was being made to read a really crappy book. Then I remembered I wasn't being made to do anything, and played some fighter instead.
The reference I was talking about was in that episode about Clara's Octopussoir, when she and Charming are doing that romantic montaguey-thing, and they're in space and holding hands like that. I think their suits are connected via their oxygen tube thingy.
