Talk:Selenian Cap

Historical Background, possible correction

I think you're reading too much into the origin by suggesting selenium as a reference. When I saw the name "Selenian Cap", my first thought was to the (Greek) Titan goddess of the moon, Selene. The word "Selenian" would mean "of or pertaining to Selene" or "from Selene", just as "Corinthian" means "of Corinth" and "Albanian" means "of Albania". --Xedrik 22:02, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, the cap looks like the hat wore by the Black Wizard (the original Final Fantasy) and the Magus (FFIII) and possibly others, but those two for sure. I'm also 99% certain that the Black Mage in FFV had moons on their caps, so that's probably the origins of appearance of the hat. --Desudro 12:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

The Selenian Cap's design is modeled after the hat that Refia wears as a Magus in the Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy III. While Barts, Lenna, and Faris (Final Fantasy V) have moons on their hats as Black Mages, the same with the original Final Fantasy III's Magus sprite, the design of the hat is quite different. In addition, no other Black Mage (or job variation there of) in the entirety of the Final Fantasy series has that same design of hat.

Here is a link to an image of the four main characters of the Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy III from the Final Fantasy Wiki. Refia is the second from the right. --Nahara 19:13, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
