Haha. No ****ing way I could have guessed that.
Screencap for when twitter is slow:
So guys, still don't believe me that the Orlandeau in TO: PSP is the same from Ivalice?

I can believe whatever I want to believe!
i dunno this sounds like a horse_ebooks type answer
he's smoking weed with basch
His english is kinda poor, I take it? Cause if not, he wust be smoking weed with Basch indeed.
But still, mixing TO and FFT is delusional Et, you mix everything with everything, tbh, FFX, FF7, TO, FFT... C'mon man, get a grip :P
Orlandu specifically died, as was said by Olan.
QUIT SMASHING MY DREAMS! IT'S THE OPPOSITE OF OUR MOTTO! ;_;
None of it really happened anyway, so you can decide whatever you want to decide about the story/characters/etc.
Your dreams are safe so long as you believe.

Not exactly, he asked if his father "died honorably" that could just mean that, Orlandaeu might be working his way back to Zeltennia to find his son, so if left ambiguous he could still be alive.
THEN VOLDEMORT AND HARRY POTTER ARE LOVERS!!!! THANKS KAIJYUU!!!!!
(In fact, no)
@halcyon
Same old arguments:
1) Orlandu, like all the special party members, are written out of the story once they join. There's no canon end to them since they could've died anywhere along the line.
2) No way back from Murond Death City, at least according to what's-his-face.
3) Big arse explosion that outright destroyed the airship they were fighting on. Maybe this is using shonen anime logic and they still survived that somehow?
4) Why in the hell would Orlandu (and Ramza for that matter) not save Olan from being burned at the stake?
5) See my above post(s) for why all the previous points could be considered moot.
Off topic side rant:
This is why authors should never explain ambiguity they intentionally left unexplained. Some people like Ramza dead, while some people like him alive. Without a direct answer, both sides are happy. Give a direct answer, then half the fans feel "betrayed" or somesuch while the other get an ego stroke. Ambiguity (that doesn't result in plot holes, at least) is a strength, not a weakness, so fans asking for answers should be given a punch to the face.
@Kokojo
I didn't know you were into that kind of fanfiction.
In serious, even crazy shit like that can have "literary merit" (or whatever the hell you wan to call it) as a character experiment, alternate universe, etc. Far, far, far more likely it'll just be a terrible shipping fic, but hey, not impossible to do it right.

The explosion blew them to safety

How do we
really know that Olan was burned at the stake?

You saying Olan wasn't executed by was recorded by history to have been anyway?
Well that's a wild theory but....

Re: Explosion. Shonen anime logic, then. Otherwise dynamite would be a cost effective method of transportation.

You sir are a BUZZ KILLER
xif, make his new name buzz killington
Aww I mean no disrespect or buzz killing. I'm giving justifications to your wild theories and guesses!
Just 'cause it's fake and never happened doesn't mean it loses any merit. I mean, movies, theater, and professional wrestling are fake too. So what?
I still think a wormhole opened up or something. Like I said, maybe ramza is smoking weed with basch, or something.
If Basch handed him weed, Ramza would just make a flute thingy out of it.

Ramza: "I know what to do with this! My father taught me!"
Basch: "The fuck dude, that was my last good bag. Now I gotta listen to the little kids in my party bitch sober."
Dunno.. hard to tell whatsoever.
