Just wondering if anyone else besides me has noticed the theme with tri-ace's works revolving around tatoos. I don't know if this is in all their works, but in the games that I've played that they worked one (the star ocean series and infinate undiscovery) I noticed that magic in those games is always related to tatoos. (also took notice to the use of lolis as well)
I would also like to add that Squire enix also used the tatoo thing in final fantasy 13 (and prossibly 13-2 as well), which I think they did since they also helped out in the star ocean series.
