It was a parody to the Stairway to Heaven song from Led Zepellin :P

There are a lot of parodies and tie-ins to cultural symbols in almost all FF's.

yeah definetely.

Even summons for example, some are named after greek gods, then some after hindu gods & so on.

Bonus round on FFXIII

One of the guys thinks PS3 > 360 2:1 for FF13 sales

he also says itwill deliver & is amazing (he sounds like he's played it)

He also says xbox 360 version is on par with PS3 one

Pachter says GOW3 will sell more in March, not FFXIII (PS3 sales only)

Pachter doesn't understand why FF sells so much

Yeah, pretty much they melded a lot of other mythologies and pop culture into a well sown together mesh, that's what's great about FF and what some other RPG's have tried to imitate as well.

It's pretty easy to see a western analyst not understanding how a JRPG sells so much. I bet he also wonders why WRPG's don't sell as much in Japan too :P
