Interesting Fact...

Post by Xu Yuan »

Anyone who has beat Quarantine, would know that  Helba has a rare weapon named "8 Wise Men" I always thought this was an obscure reference to the phases... it turns out I was completely wrong, I forgot a majority of my Chinese Knowledge, which caused me to forget this. Back in 180-200A.D There were eight famous people who originated in a section called Jiang Nan, or something like that, they became known as the "Eight Wise Men of Jiang Nan" this seems to be the origin of her staff's name.

Actually, Mia's starting weapon referring to the 8 Phases is all dub invented. The original Japanese name of her starting weapon is the "Black Cat Gang Sword". (Same one in the description for the "Meooow" spell)

Which in turn is a reference to the CC2 game "Tail Concerto". So it's a reference in both cases. :)
