Hopefully this will help some people keep track of direction for the Archsphere series, lol.

Nihil is an actual word meaning "nothing."

Nihilism (and a nihilist) refers to the idea or people who reject law...pretty much "anarchy."

It's actually names that because that is the region in Archsphere that is literally infested anarchy... the region is filled with towns and scattered slums and ancient ruins filled with numerous powerful mobs and is the heart of the black market and terrorism. While the mobs have only limited respect to each other, the region is officially at war against the other nations with the intention to restore order to the region. The blue boundaries left and right of Nihil are regions that the other nations have claimed to restore enough stability.

Back to the word...in terms of fiction it does remind me of the "Nibel" mountains from Final Fantasy VII (which is the greatest game in the world, greater than KHs also :evillaugh: )

Haha, that's cool! No doubt FF8 was very awesome too. :headbang: I liked them both for it's good balance of fantasy and scifi.

Final Fantasy in general was actually a very big inspiration for me in making Archsphere :) I just loved the RP-style world-wide travel with the variety of characters and in depth storylines, etc. :dance:

Haha! I guess it's true when they say that the first Final Fantasy game someone plays usually turns out to be the favorite :)
