this is suck a weak argument and it'd be soooooooooooooooo easy to go "hi ken"

but i'm just gonna take the high road and point out that ff in general is pretty rare these days as the franchise is (finally and grateful) drying up. used to be sephiroths and clouds were as common as snapes but now i only see the occasional one, and it's been years since i saw any ff8 player that wasn't a seifer. ff8 wasn't the black sheep 9 was but saying it's "pretty popular" is a huge stretch
