Fujin

(things I've thought about posting today but it's not worth making a bunch of posts over, so I'm going to just lump them all together into one post.)
-- I HATE THE CARD QUEEN. Is it really necessary for her to have to make me go all over the world just to get my Edea card back?!!! Can't she just stay in Dollet?!
-- I was in a bookstore last night, looking at a book on Japanese mythology, so of course I started looking up Final Fantasy references. The index had no mention of Fujin or Raijin, but it did mention Raiden (FFVI esper), so I looked him up and found he was a thunder god who had a best friend named Fugen. :confused: Are "Raiden and Fugen" and "Raijin and Fujin" different translations of the same name? No mention of "Fugen" being a wind god, though. Why would the FF series translate it one way for FFVI and another way for FFVIII?
-- According to a page at www.gamefaqs.com, in the Japanese version, during the scene where Rinoa and SeeD try to stop the president's broadcast, something along the lines of "I'm still alive.... please save me..." flash across the screen of the outdoor TV. These are supposed to be Adel's thoughts, getting picked up by the TV as radio signals. Does that strike anyone else as really creepy? I mean, was she supposed to be concious all that time she was "frozen" out in space? no wonder she was so demented when she finally got "resurrected." :uh?:
-- What side quests should I be doing? I missed most of them first time I played. Now I did the CC Club, I'm slowly working my way through the Card Queen quest, done Winhill, not strong enough yet for the Deep Sea Research place. I've heard there's a quest involving a singing monkey but that it's really boring and has no reward. Is that worth trying?
