Rinoa's Japanese Glossary

"You have to voice your feelings..."  

While working on FF8, Tetsuya Nomura spent time putting thought into how Rinoa would say things and built a "Rinoa Glossary". The formatting used below is based on how the lines appear in FF8 Memorial Album. If you ever catch me speaking or using macros in FF11 as Black Mage, you might have seen more of "Rinoa's Glossary"!
