  1. a decade ago i went through a long period where i had no friends, no money, no memory card for my ps1, and too much free time every night

    one month, i sat down and played Final Fantasy VIII every night. because i had no memory card, the game was effectively in insta-permadeath mode: one bad decision in battle could kill the entire party.

    that forced me to play very conservatively. i grinded every random encounter until my characters were overpowered for the area. this ensured that i'd never get accidentally ganked in battle. every night, i'd turn off the tv and leave the PSX on overnight.

    after several weeks, i had made it about 40 hours into the game, and hit a nice cinematic reward cutscene. i sat back to enjoy the fmv: the party ran across a bridge, fleeing as the bridge disintegrated behind them. except it was weird: the party just stood there as the bridge collapsed.

    ......................

    it was an *interactive* cutscene, and i was supposed to run the party the rest of the way myself.

    the bridge collapsed, and they all died. the game over screen rolled.

    i stood up, shut off the PSX for the first time in a month, and screamed

    that was the last time i played FF8.

    10 years later, i still don't have any friends or money, but i DO have a memory card.

    is it time ff8? 🤔

  7. Guys I could talk about Final Fantasy for HOURS. I DID talk about final fantasy for HOURS in late grade school. I would like to do that again.

    Anyone down for some kind of co op stream, podcast, IDK?? Watchers of the hashtags I'm using I apologize, but that's all of the FF games I would be willing/able to discuss (by which I mean...I only played those. Mainline wise)

    If you're mean to Squall I will kick your ass btw

    Squall's stoicism couldn't prepare him for *this*. 💀

    Anyone else find relatable moments in the chaos of Final Fantasy VIII? 🤣

  12. Hoy 4 de Octubre es un día importantísimo en vuestras agendas. Ya sé que no lo recordabais, pero para eso estoy yo: ¡El cumpleaños de Quistis Trepe! Mejor personaje del #FF8, la más guapa, la más lista y la más mejor ❤️

  13. Get out of my head, final fantasy 16 battle theme

    Also get out of my head, final fantasy 8 battle theme, which starts out very similar to the final fantasy 16 battle theme, so I end up with both stuck in my head

  14. Finished this Griever fan art. Years ago when I'd draw him, I'd make him purple or blue for some reason. Either that's what he looked like on my TV or my memory wasn't right when I was drawing. I also never gave him stripes. Maybe I also didn't see those on my TV.

  16. Also ever think about how the Tomb of the Unknown King is just chilling out there with the explicit intent of rendering his name and very existence forgotten with some mumbo-jumbo about how speaking the name of a dead king brings bad luck? And then you can go meet his ghost and all he does is thank you for freeing him, hand you a playing card/pic of Minotaur, and move on to the next life sounding perfectly pleasant and reasonable, if a bit tired? Ever think about how his country is now a military dictatorship?

    I mean never mind that Sacred and Minotaur have crown motifs and are totally royal guards, slightly worse for wear with the various rust spots. Clearly SOMEONE was keeping him sane and having a pic while Minotaur has one of Sacred implies everyone is on good terms, but what, were they just told "do not open until Kingdom Come?" The dude didn't rise cackling to take over the world; he quietly went to Heaven by the looks of it. Why didn't they just free him?

  17. Y'ever think about how in FF8 there's a whole SeeD exam that requires you to defeat Ifrit in a time limit of your choosing and then Squall just walks off with him like he doesn't still have a job to do? XD

    Like I get it; maybe he only planned on holding onto him for a semester and then saving the world happened, but there's every indication a Guardian Force is an individual like an Esper in FF6. There are similar individuals, like Bahamut and Tiamat, but not a bunch of copies running around like an Aeon in FFX.

  18. Meanwhile, there’s nothing good I can say about Final Fantasy 8’s Junction system — it’s not that you can’t do neat things with it, it’s just that it’s so abstract as to be incomprehensible; you’re recycling physical items using a PLAYING CARD into an abstract magic quantity which you ‘attach’, somehow, onto your stats (which are also abstract). What does any of this even LOOK like!?? The designers should have just given players a hex-editor or spreadsheet.

  19. La carta del orfanato también me hace muchísima ilusión de todas las veces que la he usado como localización en mis fics 🥹❤️ Es ya como un dibujo del hogar ❤️❤️❤️

    (Aunque siento la imperiosa necesidad de señalar que NO está en una isla, a qué estamos jugando con estas inexactitudes)
