Well, I finally understand why a lot of the people in the anime sound the same, it turns out that the same person who does Naru in Love Hina and Kaoru in Rurouni Kenshin (Dorothy Melendrez) does the voices for 2 more of my favorites (Meryl in Trigun and 003 in Cyborg 009) as well as a whole plethera of other things. She even did Kiyone for the Tenchi movies! I was a bit amazed when I found out all the different things she'd worked on.

Oh, BTW, I found where to buy world passes (about 1200 gil) in the port area of Bastok. It's up high in one of the little shacks, not in the buildings, which is where I had been looking for them and thus why I couldn't find them.
