Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

GIVE ME MY KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND MATERIA, YOU BASTARD!

[–]wankmate 34 points35 points ago

My thoughts exactly! Need a gold chocobo to get to that shit.

[–]Rocket92 15 points16 points ago

seriously, what good is a god damn airship if it doesn't get you knights of the round materia?!

[–]iammolotov 11 points12 points ago

"Sir, here is your airship. It can fly forwards, backwards, or even sideways. You can fly over the highest mountains, and even circumnavigate the entire globe in about 7 seconds."

"Great, let's go to that little island out there and get some badass materia."

"I'm sorry sir, but there's a couple trees on that island. There's no possible way we can land anywhere."

[–]atomicspin 2 points3 points ago

Yet, they can climb down a ladder to get in to the crater for the final battle. God, that game was stupid. (I love that game).

[–]TubbyandthePoo-Bah 2 points3 points ago

I know linking to Gawker sites can be dangerous in these parts, but I saw it on Kotaku a good couple of days before it hit reddit's front page:

        its to stop erosion(land slides) its a series of concrete squares in the hillside they have these in a lot of land slide prone areas

          THIS. THIS. THIS. Why are people still trying to guess? The netting allows the water to escape without taking the mountainside with it.

          Looks like it could be (eg. concrete) reinforcement to save the pathway do that it doesn't get taken out with the adjacent land-slippage?

          [–]mokoshina 2 points3 points ago

          I'm going to agree with you, looks like there is a path heading down from there also, so makes sense.

            [–]TheChrono 2 points3 points ago

            For those curious as to how this was created. I'm no geologist but I'm almost sure this type of formation is created when a very large volcano with a large body of magma underneath it erupts and empties the body of magma underneath it.

            After the magma is gone, the base of the volcano is unstable and the volcano collapses in onto itself creating a large crater. (Sorry no meteors here)

            Then, the magma starts being replenished and a new smaller volcanic dome starts to form inside of the crater.

            [–]DiscoOnDeathrow 2 points3 points ago

            Yup, it's a volcanic caldera.

            [–]cortana 0 points1 point ago

            It's a series of like 4 underwater volcanoes, as well as the visible pair of above-ocean calderas.

            [–]cqss 2 points3 points ago

            I said, "how'd you like to live there?', to girlfriend. She said, "NO WAY, IT'S NOT DORMANT!". Is that my Derp or is it cool to live there?

            [–]quakank 4 points5 points ago

            Still considered a Class-C active volcano by the Japan Meteorological Agency, the last eruption of Aogashima was during a four year period from 1781-1785.

            -from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aogashima

            No, I also wouldn't live there. Perhaps in the future your girlfriend should make the living decisions.

            [–]butterybob 1 point2 points ago

            I would. It looks awesome. I figure it's been dormant for a couple hundred years, my odds are pretty good for another few - and there'd likely be some pre-eruption warning.

            [–]d0pp3lg4ng3r27 34 points35 points ago

            FYI, 'shima' (or 'jima') on the end of an island name literally means 'island,' so it is wrong to put island afterwards.

            Proper title would be: Aogashima, off the coast of Tokyo

            Still an awesome pic, so receive an upvote from me anyway.

            [–]fetus_salad_sandwich 27 points28 points ago

            Not exactly. When translating, it's quite common to add the redundant "island" at the end of it. It's also done with rivers some mountains and bridges. (ie: Asanogawa is technically Asano River, but would be translated to Asanogawa River) I believe the rationale is that nobody would know "Aoga Island" would sound incorrect geographic words like "aogashima" are essentially all one word.

            Related English: PIN Number, ATM machine. Redundant, yet accepted.

            [–]magnetic_couch 0 points1 point ago

            I used to live in Toyama Prefecture in Japan, and got to hike up Tateyama (4th highest mountain in Japan). I went up with a few of my adult English students, and everyone interchanged saying Mount Tate and Mount Tateyama.

            It's due to the fact that it's a compound word in Japanese, whereas in English we would have it as separate word.

            And just for fun: if we literally translate the Island's name, it is Blue Island (or Isle of Blue if we're being very literal and poetic).

            [–]panlane 2 points3 points ago

            There is a hill in England called Torpenhow Hill, which purportedly means "hillhillhill hill", successive residents with their different languages having mistaken the noun "hill" for a Proper noun and added their own word for hill to the end. A few waves of invaders lately and the name has become ridiculous.

            [–]gojirra 12 points13 points ago

            I think you are wrong because Aogashima is not an English word, so of course you wouldn't consider what it means in English and what words you can and can't say with it based on that meaning.

            You claim you can't say island afterwards, but you also can't say "This is Aoga island," because that is not the name of the island.

            Let's say Aoga meant lizard in Japanese. You would not ever say "Have you been to Lizard island?" You never directly translate the names of places into English when referring to them, no matter how "redundant" they may be to people like your self.

            [–]Jubjub17 1 point2 points ago

            You would not ever say "Have you been to Lizard island?" You never directly translate the names of places into English when referring to them, no matter how "redundant" they may be to people like your self.

            You're wrong about this never being the case. Just off the top of my head, 黄河 (huang = yellow, he = river) is translated to Yellow River in English, not Huanghe River. I'm sure there are many other examples.

                  It's Japan, pretty much the whole country is volcanically formed because of a tectonic boundary. Commonly called The Ring of Fire. The iconic Mount Fuji which is about 60 miles from Tokyo, is an active volcano. Also, in the US, we have Yellowstone which will eventually blow and make for a very bad day in the US. And let's also point out Mammoth Lakes, California an entire town, with associated ski resort, which sits on the edge of a rather massive caldera, on top of an active supervolcano.

                  It doesn't look too much like it, but the first thing I thought was that the island where you get the Knights of the round materia at was based on it. After looking online, they're fairly different:
