When you go to THamasa and have the Hidon-Gungho-Strago scene, Strago says this of Hidon "As the name implies, this monster is very hard to find" (or somthing to that effect) What does he mean by this? Is he refering to the word "hide" in Hidon's name, or someting else?

What if he shot you first instead of your secretary?

I suppose I'd have to catch the bullet, wouldn't I

It makes sense to me, afterall, Hidon is, uhh, hidon . And for all we know, Strago and Gungho were the ones who named the monster in the first place and for that very reason.

Hidon: Now this name is interesting! It's the same in both the Japanese and American games, but has two completely diferent meanings. In the English version, Gungho says something about "as his name implies," referring to the word 'hide' embedded in 'Hidon'. In the Japanese version, however, 'Hidon' brings to mind the word 'hidoi', which means 'terrible' or 'scary'. A nice coincidence! (However, Maou says "Hidon" is actually "Hidun" in FFVIj, so unfortunately the hidoi ("cruel") reference is weakened by this, as the "du" is actually an extrememly unnatural sound in Japanese.")

That's from here. Also referred to in the mythology monsters topic.

Thanks guys. It's comforting to know that there's a place I can go to inorder to get my FF questions answered.

i always thought it meant 'hidden'

Aujourdhui a commence avec toi.

I think it means "hide"/"hidden" too because when you go to fight Hidon, he is pretty hard to get to. It gets annoying trying to go here and there and when you think your finally there, you are back where you started! I totally agree with ya'll!

"Life: The deepest cut that wilt not heal. Fore it bleeds on and on as if an eternity. An endless river of blood in which death is thyne only escape. And as the tainted years pass, that escape muddles us with temptation."

Also, I heard that Hidon in hebrew means quiz or riddle....also makes sense beased on what strago said.
