omg this sucks so much ><; Why are people dying so young... it's scary ; ;
Sorry to hear this = ( they should do something on FFXI for him. Like a statue or monument.
It is scary. It seems we re going backwards nowadays. I don t know maybe it s all the shit we eat nowadays, all processed, chemical crap. Advances in medicines aren t going to save you forever I guess.

We need to ascend and become Daevas :P
Jokes aside, dying so young is very sad (yeah, no matter the age it is also sad), rest in peace.
better yet, an item named after him.
this sucks. Rest in Peace mate. Princess Mononke is one of my favs, what a loss. I am going to break out the ghibli in tribute
I'm currently playing Final Fantasy IV DS
I'd like to thank him for all the work he did helping make such a fun game.
Have fun in the next world
