Oh, and the books I got... Michael Crichton's Disclosure and J.R.R. Tolkien's Smith of Wootton Major / Farmer Giles of Ham. Farmer Giles of Ham had a dragon named Chrysophylax and a dog named Garm, both of which were enemies in FF6... coincidence? I think not. ;) There even was a picture of Garm (the talking, moonshine-drinking mutt!), and it looked just like the monster in FF6.
