Threw this together while hacking at math homework. It should be notably easier than the previous topics. Anyway, *whips people into this*
----

You must give me the game/name of the person in the quote. This will be open for two weeks.

1. "Rend, slaughter, devour your foes!"
2. "Then go talk to a wall."
3. "My external appearance is down 5%. [redacted], I need to be cleaned."
4. "I'm pretty confident in everything from the neck up."
5. "Nice reflexes, princess. Unfortunately, we're not out here to pick berries or nurse hurt shrews. Next time, you might want to duck and cover. Most bad guys won't stop killing you if you're trying to kiss their ouchies."
6. "Brats like you are so damned naive... you piss me off. [...] S-stupid teenagers! you have no idea what kinda shit I've been through!"
7."Suffer my pain! Grim Vengeance!"
8. "You called me a dark god again! How would you like it if I called you a dark bag of organs? I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
9. "I thought he was too arrogant to have an escape pod!"
10. "Yeah, well if you want me in a tin foil mini skirt and thigh-high boots, I'm gonna need dinner first... Uh... sir..."
11. " "Commie ghosts, trying to steal our rockets and fly to moon, so they can paint it pink and put Lenin's face on it."
12. "THIS is what I would call frue destruction!"
13. "Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeee!!!! Yellowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!"
14. “I was lost in the darkness. I couldn’t find my way. As I stumbled through the darkness, I started forgetting things–my friends, who I was… The darkness almost swallowed me. But then I heard a voice–your voice. You brought me back.”
15. "I'll turn you into a beehive!"
16. "Hurrumph! Better yet... Why don't YOU give me YOUR stars. Why, then I could easily conquer this world! Then we could get rid of wishes, and create a world filled with... WEAPONS!!"
17. "Reinforcements? I am the reinforcements. "
18. "What exactly did YOU do to help? All I remember YOU doing was digging through the backpack for cheese and crackers."
19. "Do you... want my carrots?"
20. "The world is veiled in darkness. The wind stops, the sea is wild, and the earth begins to rot. The people wait, their only hope, a prophecy..."


Worth one point each. These are from various things (Books, songs, video games, etc).

1. "I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can
 watch you weave then breathe your story lines"
2.  "There was a strange serenity about him now, but it had a dark edge. Like the serenity one saw in the eyes of a condemned man the moment before he stepped up to the hangman's noose."
3. "When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take back the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What the hell are these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give me lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!"
4. "Oh, criminals in this town used to believe in things. Honor. Respect. Look at you! What do you believe in, huh? WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?"
5. "If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve."

No one got 10, 11, or 18. 18 was just too vague/not memorable enough. 10/11 are awesome quotes but I don't think anyone who played the game took the quiz.

AAA: 15/20
Twil: 5/20

Note to Gate/Twil- If that bonus 5 quote was in Brewster's millions, dig up the scene and I'll give you credit.

Snowfire: 10.5/20
Elfboy: 15.5/20
El Cid: 13/20
Nama: 8/20
Yoshi: 8/20 (Got a full point for guessing the right game series for it)

Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Special bonus quote since super has no taste and never included it:

"I have no idea who you are, but thank you for arousing me."

No need to post the answer, just have the feeling of smug satisfaction if you know the answer, or Google it if you shamefacedly admit defeat in knowledge of juvenile translation jokes.

I played #11 but didn't recognize it (I could guess the series just from the sound of it, but memory wasn't cooperating on narrowing that down). Who said that line? From one of House's rambling logs?

« Reply #134 on: August 24, 2011, 06:08:20 PM »
Rules for this are the same as always. PM me your guesses, and you have two weeks to respond.

1. "Men such as you can not make history."

2.  "Because... you are a puppet."

3. "[Redacted] had himself another night of wine, women, and song. Just between you and me I think I had a little too much of the wine, but the women didn't complain!"

4. "I'll kick yer sorry arse so hard you'll kiss the moons!"

5. ""FINALLY! At long LAST! I thought this day would never COME! But it HAS, and with great FANFARE! The time has come to let those FILTHY DEVILS know that [redacted] does NOT belong to them! We'll SMASH the FILTHY  DEVILS' castle to TINY, UNRECOGNISABLE bits!!! We'll STOMP it! And CRUSH it! And CRUSH it! And STOMP it! And then CRUSH it again! Until NO EARTHLY TRACE REMAINS! ...And then we'll PAVE over the site, just to rub it in! HA HA HA HA HAAAA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!!! You could say I'm looking forward to it. "

6. "Is there some way to fix it? Well you got to do something!"
"I think you're screwed."

7. "To be forgotten is worse than death."

8. "Why.. why didn't you come for me? I waited for you! Oh, how I waited... But... it was [he] who came for me! He always suffered in your shadow... You could never understand how awful it was to be the loser!"

9. "Oh dear, not one of those. I find men who go about claiming they speak for gods insufferable."

10. "Look at the camera... ready... say fuzzy pickles!"

11. Stand tall and shake the heavens!”

12. "Hmm, should I force him to open his heart with a chainsaw?"

13. 'Call it what you will-
a revelation from god, or a curse of the demon king.
The fact remains that our world came to an end.

A heretic called upon an unearthly light, and devastation ensued.
Chaos crawled out of the depths of the ocean, from the black abyss.

Death upon death... Nothing but death in this barren land.
Who can we pray to! There are only demons and fiends here.

A voice in the dark beguiles me.
"Truth is a mystery, unraveled by the candles' flames."

14. "Weren't you also born without the legitimate blood of your father?"
"Why would you ask that?"
"Because you interest me. Your eyes are different. Just below the surface, I can see the darkness inside you. Surely you must feel it too.
"But I... I am grateful to my father for taking me in."

15. "No mercy for the damned. Thus, you have no escape from the grasp of catastrophe!"

Bonuses: Sitcoms.

1. "Panties. GLORIOUS PANTIES!"

2. "They're real and they're spectacular."

3. "Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. "

4. "Let me tell you a little story. It was 1994, and I was ice climbing when I fell into a crevasse and hurt my leg. There was only one way out, so fighting every natural instinct I have, I did the thing I hated the most. I climbed down into the darkness. And when I came back to camp, I went to the person who cut my line and said, "Connie Chung, you saved my life."

5. "I've seen her from the front, i've seen her from the back.
I've seen her in a chair, i've seen her in a sack.
I've seen her stand, i've seen her crouch.
I've seen her on her stupid couch.
I do not like her in the mall, I do not like her in the hall.
I do not like her in my life, I do not like my big red wife!"

Video game quotes quiz! Round 9
« Reply #136 on: October 16, 2016, 08:07:26 PM »
Another round of this, because it's been way too long and super is lazy.  Note that this is a video game quotes quiz, not an RPG quiz.  (There are still plenty of RPGs in here, it's DL-friendly stuff, but not all RPGs.)  PM me your guesses.

Unlike super's quiz, I'm mostly just interested in the video game.  (Some of these speakers are game text, narration, faceless randos, etc.)  Send in the speaker if you want of course but I'm going to score just off the game, except perhaps as an informal tiebreaker.

1.
What!? You're FIRED!!  Send that soldier a bomb or something!

2.
As my brother, I loved him. But he was no brother to me. He abandoned me. And now I, him.

3.
Hey, who the hell are YOU to tell me I can't do something?   I'm here to avenge my father!

Then you still don't understand … {NAME} …  I am your father!

4.
Mugu mugu?

5.
I love hamburgers. I learned how fun it was to eat through cooking and eating hamburgers at the abbey.

6.
To you, it is just a used up toy.  So give it back. It belongs to me.

7.
{{NAME}}'s pretty lips spoke those horrible words in the gruff voice of an old fisherman.  She didn't kill her father right away, though.  She couldn't.

8.
I was able - well, forced really - to relive you killing me. Again and again. Forever.
You know, if you'd done that to somebody else, they might devote their existence to exacting revenge.

9.
A: That's right.  As long as the Guardians exist, you are fated to be their Communicator. 
B: Even if I don't want to be a Communicator...?

10.
A: My lady, a gift has arrived from {{PLACE}}.
B: From the Duke?
A: No, my lady.  A merchant house, I believe.  It was sent with a shipment down the Cavalla River.
B: (after opening the gift) Chocolates!

11.
Hey! HEY! Princess! The power of Darkness isn't coming this way to tell us about the neighborhood bake sale.

12.
That was an amazing killing spree…  by the other team!

13.
It is every citizen's final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.

14.
He lives in cyberspace and wants to destroy the network system.

15.
{{PLACE}} has fallen. All ground personnel are presumed dead, either killed by the Hunter clad in metal or in the subsequent destruction of the underground facilities.

16.
Set him liberal.  In the wild, his savage nature will be returning at him.

17.
Guard!  To the tower with her until she dies.
In the meantime, her torture I advise.

18.
The reins of history back in the hands of man.

19.
Forgive me, Your Highness. I’m a coward at heart.
There was no way that I had the courage to stand up to you and {{NAME}}.
But I was smart enough to go to {{PLACE}}. I knew they’d have a hero who could help me.

20.
He practiced sorcery in order to create a bad world filled with evil. 
He began taking over the Continent of Europe, changing countries from good to bad.
The good people of Europe tried to fight off {{NAME}}, but no one was able to survive.

21.
We want nothing but world peace… Or a piece of the world, tee, hee…

22.
Remember to be alert at all times.  Stay aware of your surroundings.

23.
The taste of failure
A bitter medicine, but
Fools take no other.

24.
You win... BUT YOUR WORLD IS STILL DOOMED!

25.
It's like the liveliness has been sucked out of {{PLACE}} lately. The people there are all so quiet and almost...robot-like.  Although, I'm not human so what do I know? Anyway, back to business.
Open up that wallet and shower me with money!

--
Themed bonus!
These have a pattern.  I'll let you puzzle out what it is.

B1.
What need for the shepherd when the wolves have all gone...

B2.
You have failed not only in your royal duty, but also in your commitment to alchemy.  You should be ashamed.

B3.
A: {{NAME}}, between the four of us, we managed to defeat {{NAME2}}.  Please be at ease.
B: Our world has been saved.  You should return to {{PLACE}} as soon as you can.

B4.
Ah, my friend. You've returned. We meet face to face! And the page, did you bring the page?
...you didn't bring the page. You didn't bring the page. What a fool are you!  Ugh!  Did you not take my warning seriously?
….welcome to D'ni. You and I will live here.  Forever.

B5.
Now then, my...friend.  Do you see your enemies?  The {{VEHICLE}}s behind you?  Good.  I command you to destroy them all, {{NAME}}.  You will not rest until they are dead!

1. Screwing up the Junon marching minigame, Final Fantasy 7
2. Catiua, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
3. Duran & Darkshine Knight, Seiken Densetsu 3
4. Lagomorph on Setzer's Slots, Final Fantasy 3/6
5. Cecilia, Wild ARMs
6. Id, Xenogears
7. Sea Mother, Shadow Hearts (Name was Li Li)
8. GlaDOS, Portal 2
9. Emelious & attendant, Grandia 3
10. Elodie & attendant, Long Live The Queen
11. Ryudo, Grandia 2
12. Soldier, Team Fortress 2
13. Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (Recycling Tanks quote)
14. Cyber Peacock intro, Mega Man X4
15. Space pirate logs, Metroid Prime (Place was Zebes)
16. Bishop Ladja, Dragon Quest V
17. Umbra, Child Of Light
18. Dr. Cid, Final Fantasy 12
19. Ravio, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (Place was Hyrule)
20. Opening scroll, Castlevania III (Name was Dracula)
21. Naga-ette @ chapel, Chrono Trigger
22. Loading screen, Pokemon GO
23. Mitama, Fire Emblem Fates
24. Lord Jaraxxus concession, Hearthstone
25. Chocolina, Final Fantasy 13-2

Bonus theme was bad ends.

B1. Richter Belmont, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
B2. Dessier, Atelier Meruru
B3. Nyna & Elice, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
B4. Atrus, Myst
B5. Faulkner, Vanguard Bandits

Answers that amused me:
Alex went with Ted Cruz for 16 (perhaps from the game Cruz'n USA?), which seems accurate.  He also puzzled out a few suspicious ones, correctly noting that 22 was way too generic and must be some sort of trap.

Twilkitiri had some great ones, notably guessing Wolfenstein 3D for 20.  (Hitler changing countries from good to bad would make a lot more sense than the actual answer.)  New Super Luigi Bros. U for #2 also puts an...  interesting spin on that sibling relationship.  He also went with Umineko for the Portal 2 quote, which would be an... interesting... crossover.

9's mention of "guardians" harvested two separate Wild Arms 2 guesses and a Wild Arms 3 guess.  Mwahaha.

Most gotten: FF7, followed by FF6, followed by XG / TF2 / Portal 2 / LLTQ / Metroid Prime / CoL / CT / Myst.
Least gotten: Nobody got 19, B2, B3, or B5.  The bonuses sure, fine, those are supposed to be brutal, but I guess not many other Link Between Worlds players out there.  It just amused me on a meta level that people knew that you could go to Hyrule and scoop up a green-clad hero, that's just how it works.  (And...  Alex almost got B2, he followed the bread crumbs of "Gust alchemist game + royalty = which one is the one with the princess", just thought that was Totori.)


Dark Holy Elf: 12 (FF7, TO:LUCT, FF6, WA, XG, G3, LLTQ, Metroid Prime, CoL, CT, FF13-2, Myst.  Okay being nice on 25, Elf said Lightning Returns, but close enough.)
Sir Alex: 16 (FF7, SD3, FF6, XG, Portal 2, LLTQ, TF2, SMAC, Metroid Prime, CV3, CT, Pokemon GO, HS, CV:SOTN, Myst.  Half credit for "Mega Man something" on 14 and Atelier Totori on B2.)
Otter: 8 (FF7, Portal 2, TF2, MMX4, CV3, CT, HS, CV:SOTN)
superaielman: 5 (FF7, FF6, G2, FF13-2, CV:SOTN)
El Cideon: 7 (FF6, Portal 2, LLTQ, CoL, FF12, CT, Myst)
Twilkitri: 9 (FF7, WA, XG, TF2, SMAC, Metroid Prime, CoL, FE: Fates, Myst)
CmdrKing: 7 (FF7, WA, XG, SH, G2, DQ5, FF12)
AAA: 7 (Portal 2, LLTQ, G2, TF2, SMAC, Metroid Prime, CoL)

EDIT: Aziraphale & Ciatokins didn't submit on time.  Happy to edit in Ciato's answers when she gets back, but Aziraphale might have actually beat Sir Alex?  Call it joint-winners with a -1 penalty for lateness. :)

Aziraphale: 17 (FF7, FF6,  WA, XG, SH, Portal 2, G3, LLTQ, G2, Metroid Prime, CoL, FF12, CT, HS, FF13-2, Meruru, Myst)

Yay for quote quiz; thank you for running it!

I almost guessed "something annoyingly pretentious" for both 16 and 18, but decided not to in case either was something that Snowfire liked. <_< #25 was very Chocolina but I couldn't place which game. I almost didn't get FF6 despite how many times I've seen that one.

Stuff I missed from games I've played in full:
-Duran: Oh man I'd forgotten there was a game that ripped off Darth Vader that hard.
-Sea Mother: I remember nothing about this scene except "shloop shloop splat" and how bad the voice acting was.
-Ryudo: The "princess" thing threw me.
-Cyber Peacock: I've seen this one so many times, so I really have excuse, except that I wasn't expecting this context I suppose. Definitely the one I feel worst about missing.
-Mitama: Probably should have gotten this one too, though I've only seen it once. I remember it now.
-Richter: As if I remember any SotN dialogue aside from That One Scene.
-Nyna/Elice: I have in fact gotten the bad ending of this game... the first time I played it, which was with a menu-only translation patch. :\ That said, even if this weren't the case... see previous comment, minus the one scene.

Erwin Schrödinger will kill you like a cat in a box.

Ryudo/Richter/Chocolina I got instantly, and FF7/6 weren't far behind. The others were from bits of dialog I hadn't seen in ages.

Games I missed despite having played them: FF7, WA (if ACF counts), XG, SH1, G2, CV3, SotN.

SH1 quote I knew I'd heard, but couldn't place. I kept thinking it belonged in a horror game, but I don't play those! Missing SotN was also pretty egregious since I replayed that over the summer.

I should've just guessed a random Atelier game for B2 (and I even played part of Meruru).

I'm so bad at these I didn't even send a submission.

I knew cecilia because of the hamburgers...and uh...

Some sounded familiar. .

Epic fail.

Merry Christmas!  I was bored, so let's do it again.  Will probably leave this open for awhile due to the holidays, at least two weeks.

As per last time, any video game is fair game, not just RPGs, although I've tried to keep it RPG-centric for old people who like their SNES/PSX/PS2 too much.  PM me your guesses.  Just scoring off the video game.

This one should be a tad easier than the last, but who knows.

1.
Well, that's somewhere around eighty points.

2.
Can it wait? I’m in the middle of some calibrations.

3.
Arrogant snob. I am not… a… a spicy tuna roll!

4.
This…  can't…  be…  happening!

5.
Oh, nooooooo! Tin can telephones are ineffective in the vacuum of space!

6.
I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with light.

7.
Stay awhile, and listen.

8.
Brush off vanity and show reality!

9.
That's right ♪ From now on, your life is going to be a big pumpkin nightmare.

10.
I... I should have died there... But... You want me to keep inhabiting this doomed husk, {{NAME}}?

11.
What do you mean!?  Kill them, and bring them happiness!

12.
I dreamt I was a moron.

13.
A: Have you lost your pride as one of {{NAME}}'s disciples? You should be ashamed...

B: No. You should be ashamed. Of course I don't like to dirty myself on the ground before you, begging like a dog.  But if necessary, I can throw away my vainful pride. That's what I learned from Master {{NAME}}.
(same name in both lines)

14.
You felt your sins crawling on your back.

15.
You are brave, warrior, but stupid!!  Your body explodes as you plunge into the lava.

16.
It would seem the gods are dead.  But we needn't worry about that…  I can make as many gods as we want…  or need.

17.
Of course they're desperate. They can smell their death, and the sound they'll make rattling their cage will serve as a warning to the rest.

18.
A: They have grown attached to life, yet they'll soon disappear!
B: Hilarious! Nothing but toys are they here!

19.
Whoever retrieves the sword is the "hero," right?  A "hero" suddenly appearing means that there will be some disturbance needing a "hero."

20.
He was a fake! And even worse, a fish thief…

21.
Rate hike! Rate hike! Tra, la, la!

22.
I wanted my own world, so I don't regret my choice.  I would make the same choice all over again.  I will continue to choose this path.

23.
Mom.  Getting mad gives you wrinkles.

--
Bonuses!  You'll never figure out the mysterious theme that connects these.

B1.
Some day, you go through the rain.  Some day, you feed on a tree frog.

B2.
We do what we must because we can.

B3.
Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose.

B4.
Can you let me out?  Can you set me free from this dark inner world?

B5.
Fight, fight, fight!  Fight, fight, fight!  Fight, fight, fight!  Fight, fight, fight!

--
Congratulations to CmdrKing and NotMiki, joint winners of the no-Alex division.  (and, uh, Sir Alex for the less-prestigious open division that doesn't ban OP submitters.)  Good times.

Frequently gotten:
Excal guessed that FFT (9/14) would be the most-correctly-guessed entry, and FF7/8/Portal/DMC wouldn't be bad guesses either (11/14 for FF7 & DMC, 10/14 for FF8, 8/14 for Portal), but it was actually our Star Oceany opener, which received around eighty correct guesses for 100% completion.  Who knew it was the memorable Work Of Our Time.  Crawd Kenni, advancing forward!  (ME2 calibrations also did better than expected to at 10/14, not bad for the DL.  Undertale at 9/14 was also impressive.)

Rarely gotten:
Nobody got B3., which was admittedly very evil (It's a line ONLY in the ending version of the song, not the in-game dialogue & final boss music, so pay attention in the credits), although a lot of the track titles & chapter titles in Fates reference the lyrics, and one of the main big battle themes is "Thorn in You" which makes it vaguely fair?  Apparently not.  (I liked NotMiki's guess of VA-11 Hall-A, seems like it'd fit, though.)   And while CK got the Threads of Fate clue, it was only with a prod that "hey you actually know this one submit a darn guess."  AAA was the only one who directly recognized some vintage Mithos (I actually unironically like that quote of his), Elf the only one who got grim spaceship cover-shooter Phoenix Wright, Alex the only one who recognized TWEWY spicy tuna rolls (except apparently due to a reference in MTBMMCAHANIHTDWAGSAADBWWMIAB?!), and only CK knew his Radiant Historia endings as yet another game with a dying badass swordswoman.

Other oddities:
#9 gathered four guesses of "Ogre Battle", and it does seem like it might be a Deneb quote.  A lot of people went for "Secret of Mana" for #19 (both here and on an FB group for a different group of RPG fans), and I can totally see why with the reference to the sword... but as a reminder, Secret of Mana was translated by Ted Woolsey, and Wild Arms 2 was translated by very smart and erudite Martians with access to a Japanese-English dictionary. 

Alex's answers were all a joy to read, but I'll just call out these two:
- "YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM!" - Alucard, SOTN, shortly before killing his real dad.
- Lord Yuna, Breath of Fire 4, except he won't because shortly after the credits roll Ryu uses the last remnants of his power to teleport the party to Yuna and gank him.

Twil gets bizarre psychic bonus credit for wildly guessing Legend of Dragoon in the bonuses for B3., when that was actually the last song lyric I cut to knock it down to 5.  ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBabT4hDZts , good times.)

DragonKnight Zero guessed "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" for #5.  Young SnowFire actually *did* play that game, although using 80s Infocom Text Adventures might be a little brutal with this crowd!  At least Vogon poetry can't be transmitted in the vacuum of space, either...

super went with "Mortal Kombat" for B5 which was pretty amusingly good as a guess.

Both NotMiki & DarkHolyElf threw some shade at the stately, cultured punctuation famed Italian poet Dante used in #6, preferring instead the more plebian " fill your dark soul with liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!" Not here, I say, if you want wacky dialogue and expressive characters, go play the sequel "Dark Souls".

Random YouTube links:
Threads of Fate, Mint opening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcPgMZKsGDg&list=PLB85581F199BB8E0C&index=37 For those that didn't play the game - it's super charming, and one of the rare games where you do get to properly be a villain protagonist.  WORLD DOMINATION!!1!

Grandia 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6Gz1VjaAYs .  More charmingness!  Maybe?!  ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGy49B5FvRo&t=1s  if you want a few tears to well up in your eye as well , at least toward the end of that video)

Symphony of the Night
https://youtu.be/I5fGavPsQa8?t=36s Begin by watching this one, over here! I'm determined to prove Elf wrong from last time with his "oh who remembers any of SOTN other than THAT scene."  You dare question one of the great works of our time that produced like 3 quotable lines from one pathetic battle?!  Death in the quote world will set your soul wandering for eternity, doubter.  (I also stuck this one next to Squall's dream for fun in the list.)

Deus Ex
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyirktQHw28  --> Grade A ham scenery chewing from Bob Page.
[05:31] <+Ranmilia> some people don't remember every line from SOTN and the entire deus ex opening, they're weird

Persona 4 lyrics
https://youtu.be/Mk0A5uFoG3c?t=50s - Just proof that yes, this is allegedly what the lyrics are.  A more honest clue might have been "Can you let me out?  Can you set me free from [incomprehensible gibberish]?" but that wouldn't be Bonusy enough.

Dammit, I meant to guess WA2 for #19 just based on the tortured syntax and unnecessary quotes, but I forgot to actually type it in.

But #12 was the one I absolutely knew that I recognized and was sure I would kick myself for not being able to place.

Just saw the list, only knew 12 right off the bat.

Huh, didn't realize that I actually knew four of the five songs.

I realized Otherworld like a day after I sent in my guesses, but was too lazy to send in a correction, while I've always heard that P4 line as "Set me free from fear and doubt" so I don't think I was ever gonna get it.  Also, colour me shocked.  Granted, it's a throw away spell quote that I suspect most of the locals skip, as opposed to the major character trait of a main PC, but I am surprised Garrus got more recognition than FFT on the FFTSB 2.0.
