...
"The body is but a vessel for the soul, a puppet which bends to the
soul's tyranny. And lo, the body is not eternal, for it must feed on the
flesh of others, lest it return to the dust from whence it came.
Therefore must the soul deceive, despise and murder men."

This is the poem written by AJ Durai at the begining of Vagrant Story. A Squaresoft game based BEFORE Tactics. Much of the game is alike Tactics, but it has a real-time battle system much like Parasite Eve. The reference to "Durai" is Olan Durai, and Alazam Durai from Final Fantasy Tactics. Olan helps Ramza, and is the one to publish the Germonick Scriptures. He is hung, but they don't show it. Alazam is his decendant, who tells the story.

Now you know.
