  1. Attempting to escape the horrors of reality by revisiting 27-year-old comfort game with strong underlying anti-war message about the normalisation of conflict, themes surrounding childhood trauma, emotional repression as a coping strategy, found family, humanity and vulnerability. Plus multiple subplots involving characters navigating different forms of anxiety and/or depression figuring it out as they go, and sloppily but endearingly stumbling toward connection. Also, one cute dog.

  9. I am playing the original #psx #FinalFantasyVIII before I head to the gym. As much as I like #FinalFantasy8, it is actually my least favorite #finalfantasy game among Final Fantasy I-X. I group those together because after Final Fantasy X, the series shifted paradigms a bit. My favorite ones are 7 and 9. Final Fantasy 9’s characters resonate with my emotional traumas, so I don’t play it that often.

  12. So I was a lil goofy for #AprilFoolsDay... with #fanfiction, that is:

    The day of, I updated my Sorceress Fujin series with a hilarious chapter starring Raijin and his (other) best friend: a tiny blue alien.

    And today, I finally posted out a crossover that's been in my head: Tietra got nicked by a certain arrow, instantly gains a Stand, and promptly gets isekai'd into a Bizarre Adventure. Good grief, but hey. Beats being dead!

  13. I am walking around the apartment, retrograming on my Android as my husband watches Youtube streamers play horror games. I am playing the original Final Fantasy 8 on the ePSXe emulator.

    The funny thing is as a kid, I remember playing this game while sitting on my knees in front of the TV. Now, as an adult, I can’t stand sitting still, let alone sitting down to play a game. I’m always walking, standing, and pacing as I play games. I’m always walking, dancing, or prancing around the apartment.

  15. The last, and only other time I've played #FinalFantasy8 was on my #Playstation 1 back in middle/high school, probably 2000ish. I've started it once or twice since, but never got far. That is until I picked up the remaster and had the option of playing it handheld on my #SteamDeck.

    Just got Bahamut. Took several tries because while Squall is lvl 100, everybody else is 50ish and mega flare one hits them.

    Time to do some leveling then head for Ultima weapon, 🙂

  16. So if you're a fan of #FinalFantasy8 , somebody that goes by "Overclocked Remix" remade/remixed their own take on the soundtrack and released it for free.

  17. 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

  18. 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.

  19. La nueva época de los juegos de rol, marcado por los japoneses y los JRPG. Se alejarían de los clásicos juegos de rol para dar paso a crear obras más originales y culturales. Si miramos a lo largo de la historia de ambas etiquetas, tanto los WRPG como los JRPG han sido influencidos por clásicos como #D&D mas los japoneses querían salirse de la línea cultural de occidente y así nacieron los juegos de rol por turnos con influencia taoísta, sintoísta y budista.

    Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest y Phantasy Star marcaron un antes y un después. Mezclando una clásica ambientación medieval basada en Dragones y Mazmorras, pero mentiendo por debajo su cultura asiática, algo que nadie se ha dado cuenta, ya que todos relacionamos JRPG con "Juegos hechos en Japón y, mayoritariamente, por turnos". Estos RPG hechos en Japón diferían de los juegos de rol occidentales por muchas características, entre ellas, sus monstruos.

    Da igual si hablamos de #Pokémon, #Digimon, Shin Megami Tensei, Final Fantasy o #TheLegendofHeroes... la mayoría de los JRPGs influencian sus monstruos e invocaciones por la cultura de dioses y demonios que existen en el taoísmo y el sintoísmo, además de estar muchos basados en Yokais, tal vez nunca os lo habíais percatado, pero no es de casualidad que la mayoría de juegos de rol hechos en Japón tengan en común esta características.
    Por otro lado, los JRPGs también hacen mucho incapié en el combate elemental. Sí, es cierto que en los WRPG también existen debilidades elementales. Sin embargo, gracias al taoísmo y la cultura de los 5 elementos, más el tao, en los JRPG es muy importante un sistema de magia (aunque a veces les salga cosas como la magia de #FinalFantasy8 o #FinalFantasy15). Y no es de extrañar que los demonios y dioses más importantes (que pueden venir de otras religiones, pero siguen añadiéndole la influencia taoísta y sintoísta), que suelen ser las invocaciones, representen a un elemento y a su vez éste tenga un significado (como pasa constantemente en Tales of).
    Pero de todas formas, independientemente de toda la influencia cultural contenida en cada JRPG, este género se especializó en ser conocido como en juegos de rol por turnos hecho por japoneses, y muchas veces, por tener un sistema de oficios (siendo ese el "rol" del juego), con algunas excepciones de vez en cuando como Tales of o #Ys.

    Pero... mientras tanto... ¿qué pasaba en occidente?
    Estamos en los 90s, los juegos de rol japoneses dominaban el mercado. ¿Qué ocurría en este lado del mundo? La evolución de los CRPG es la respuesta.

  20. I forgot how riveting the gameplay was for this game. #finalFantasy8

  21. A pile of interests as disorganized as my brain:

    Scratching the surface since I don't lose interest in things, just experience priority changes. Recurrence is guaranteed. 😄

  26. The final part of our Final Fantasy VIII livestream is on YouTube. We sprint to reach the end of this story. Two dungeons and a gauntlet of bosses stand between us and taking Ultimecia down. #VideoGames #FinalFantasy8 youtu.be/SvnfzQNgoOY
