[edit] Script
(emphasis added)
Great-Chief: "You do not know the workings of the stone. Then we are no different."
Ashe: "What?"
Great-Chief: "In ages past, the Gods made a gift of Nethicite to my people. But its manner of use eluded us. Displeased by our failure, the Gods took back there stones. They chose instead to give them to a hume king."
In short, they didn't know how (and thus couldn't) use the Nethicite. --Hecko X 16:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image
The image is not Gerun, he/she/it looks different. See Wikipedia. Bluerダヨ 17:06, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, Renmiri came and changed the image. But I changed it back. The Gerun image is really much better. The other one is too dark and small.PiccoloNamek 06:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gallery
Instead of several pictures of the same Occurian, it would be better if we had one picture of each of them. There's no need to have four views of the same one.PiccoloNamek 23:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Except for those who want to see what the race looks like, for fan art or fan fiction purposes. Check the Garif page. The pictures prove they are not male Viera. Renmiri 23:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- I don't have the other Occuria ripped yet, might not have it at all as the 3D viewer I use crashes on some of the files. This is what I got. I'll post better ones if/ when I have them Renmiri 23:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- You might attempt to capture a screenshot of all the other Occuria. They all appeared at one cutscene. And also, FFXII Ultimania Omega has an artwork design of all the other Occuria. I'd scan it, but my scanner's busted. Bluerダヨ 03:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I have the Ultimania Scan but I have to rescan it, which will take a while since my windows Vista is refusing to scan anything in color halfway decently. Renmiri 21:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

- FFXII Ultimania Omega has an artwork design of all the other Occuria, but in truth it left out one Occuria. There were six, this including Venat. Good job anyways. Bluerダヨ 21:56, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Off topic, but where did you get your Guide from? Are they still easy to come across? I love that artwork, and would love to have a hard copy of it. Diablocon 22:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- I got mine in Kinokuniya japanese bookstore. Its out of stock nowadays at my place _ Bluerダヨ 22:15, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

- Mine I got on ebay. I scanned a bunch of pages and have the Table of contents here Renmiri 23:50, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
PS: Shouldn't FF Wiki have a section on FF Merchandise ? At least for the "official" one ? Renmiri 23:50, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Write a Merch section. --Crazyswordsman 01:19, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Check out
The new Gerun image I made. Isn't it lovely? The Occuria may be bad, but they sure are pretty to look at. I will be uploading ultra-clear images for the others very soon. PiccoloNamek 01:04, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Keep up the good work!!!! Azul 01:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Practical Difficulties
I've just had a wierd idea. I know you're all just going to answer back "blah blah, powerful arcane creatures of ancient yore, yadda yadda" but, as a serious question: Really, how the hell did the Occuria do half the stuff they're credited as having done - built the Pharos at Ridorana, the Ancient City of Giruvegan, forged any number of crystalline swords - when, physically speaking, they can't - they don't have any arms! Yes, I appreciate that they are practically magic made solid and are practically gods themselves, and some of the stuff is perfectly within their remit - apocalyptic rains of fire and death, the nethicite, the Espers, being generally sneaky and controlling the world from behind the scenes, etc, but when you get down to it, it doesn't matter how much magic power they have, arms are still pretty damn important for physical stuff like cutting stone, putting blocks of it one on top of the other and cementing them together to eventually make a city (weird mental image - think of the Occuria on a building site wearing hard hats and high-visibility jackets), and the same for the swords. How did they do it? Telekinesis? I still can't really see them getting up to something like that... The Man In The Black Cape 21:40, September 24, 2009 (UTC)
