Jeremy Parish: Man of the Year
On last week's episode of Active Time Babble, the podcasters were having a conversation about Final Fantasy Gaiden's party system. Jeremy Parish remarked that one of the temporary party members reminded him of a character from Final Fantasy II (Minwu).

One of the other hosts inquired, "Final Fantasy II American or Final Fantasy II Japanese?" Jeremy Parish admonished the question with a stern, "No... FINAL FANTASY II."

Bless you, Jeremy Parish, for choosing not to exacerbate the name controversy. You get a gold star.

And to whomever that was who asked that stupid question, you a lump of coal. This is a pet peeve of mine. Gaming journalists need to stop using terms like "Final Fantasy II American and Final Fantasy II Japanese". You're fucking journalists, for crissake. The names have been corrected in subsequent releases. Stop trying to pay homage to the SNES days. Just stop it.

1UP should set up a dollar jar. Every time an editor calls Final Fantasy IV by the wrong name, they should be made to insert a dollar.
