'This Is My Story' (my introduction)

[Tedius Zanarukando]

I am Tedius Zanarukando.  I am new to this board.   I have been posting at many gaming related forums, as well as a few non-gaming boards, since 2001.  I was born in Tennessee in 1979 and raised in South Carolina. 

I was the one who started the Wikipedia article on Tales of Phantasia.  My Wikipedia userpage is right here.  Keep in mind that there is some strange stuff in my userpage.  My said views on women are based on real life, not at this board.  It is not that I am prejudiced against women.  I do not believe in romantic relationship.

Tales of Phantasia is the only Tales game I ever played.  I played all three versions.  I have been playing the Super Famicom version in English.  I also listen to the game's soundtrack outside gaming, mainly that PSOne soundtrack.

'This Is My Story' (my introduction)

This topic title made me think of Final Fantasy X, which was probably the intended effect.

[Tedius Zanarukando]

As I posted earlier, I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee on November 8, 1979.  That means that I am 26 years old. 

This topic title made me think of Final Fantasy X, which was probably the intended effect.

Yes, I usually use that topic title for my introduction thread, because Final Fantasy X is (at least historically) my favorite video game ever.  My user name partly implies this.  I think Final Fantasy is the greatest video game series ever established.  In my humble opinion, the Tales series is no match for the Final Fantasy series, but I think Tales is a great game series.  I am also learning how to play Final Fantasy X's "To Zanarkand" on the piano.

... You ever been to a forum called "Fire Emblem: Sanctuary of Strategy" or FESS for short? I think I've seen your name around there before.

[Tedius Zanarukando]

Yes, Stahn Ailron, I did back in 2003 and 2004.  I was prematurely but falsely banned from the second version of FESS, just 18 posts, because I was mistaken to be a misogynist.  The FESS administration lied about my views toward the female sex.  My Wikipedia userpage may have something to do with that.  The truth is that I am not a misogynist, but I am an antifeminist.  I would not flame anyone for being female.  The post in my introduction thread there was misinterpreted, leading to a ban.  That version of FESS is no longer in use.  I never been to the current version. 

My avatar is a picture of my favorite Nintendo character.  Her name is Ira, but she is commonly known in the English speaking audience as Ayra.  She is from the SNES game Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, which was marketed exclusively in Japan.  I want her to be playable in a future console installment of Super Smash Bros., not necessarily Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Hmm, I noticed your wiki userpage states that you have Asperger's syndrome like myself (I don't mean to be weird when I say this but I thought that certain aspects of your posts seemed familiar).

Anyway, welcome to the forum
