Heya! I'm Roosa (she/her), a Cinematic Artist at Square Enix in 🇯🇵 who loves her craft and has been making games for 10 years! Recently I've worked on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth & as a Lead on Forspoken and its DLC. Also passionately fighting for a more inclusive tomorrow.

Me smiling and pointing at my It Takes a Village cap.

Yeah, that is pretty darn bad. 🥹

The thing I miss most about going to the gym is that I used to always read Forspoken fanfics while working out.

Can’t believe I keep losing the ticket lottery for Nana Mizuki’s Tokyo performances of LIVE VISION... 😭 don’t think this has ever happened before - Tokyo has always been a guaranteed win.

People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

A dirty truth about games: most of the time leadership is why a project fails or is cancelled, and even worse: those people go and start their own studios get investments because investors don't question the bro code, and the cycle continues.

Sometimes second chances aren't great

"Categorizing South of Midnight’s narrative as one of nature versus nurture feels too reductive."

@phoenixsimms.bsky.social explores the EcoGothic and EthnoGothic themes in South of Midnight:

Mending the Gardens of History - Unwinnable

South of Midnight uses nature to underscore the ways that human care and legacies of hatred scar not just on a human-scale.

😂 Wearing it is making it pretty funny when all the other characters keep jabbing at how my character is dressed so "weird".

Hiroko saying to my character "Hey, is that... some kind of cosplay? Oh actually, I feel like I've seen that outfit somewhere before..."

In my happy place 💜

Life has not been great lately, but this made me tear up.

Glad some dreams do come true.

I'm so sorry Dale. I'm sure Yuki had the best possible life she could have dreamed of thanks to it being by your side.
