Rather than sit around aimlessly tonight, I decided on a whim to tell the tale of my first time playing Final Fantasy II, as well as my first encounter with mythriI. I hope you enjoy.
Final Fantasy II: The Mythril That (Nearly) Filtered Me - Amethyst Reverie
Imagine you are me, playing this game where I was tasked to retrieve this random item called "mythril" from a cave. Yeah, sure, why not? Absolutely simple affair. Real shame about the imperial soldier...

Bluesky’s head of trust & safety responding with a sarcastic image macro to a woman upset her husband was kidnapped by ICE is embarrassingly unprofessional & cruel behavior.

that account was then banned by Bluesky Trust & Safety. horrendously poor community management. what purpose does this serve?

Kinda living for Shinra Arch's FF8, well, arc

Played VII first but VIII was my actual first FF game, and there's just... *so* much information out there that's forgotten, a falsehood, or tucked away in Japan only material. I remember desperately combing field files in Deling for unused text, aha

Because you’d end up getting together with someone other than the girl you gave your girlfriend’s name to. So they decided to let players change only Squall and Rinoa’s names. [2/2] (FF8 Ultimania)

Yoshinori Kitase thinks there are lots of players out there who like to give RPG characters their own name or the name of someone they like. In FF8, the first woman character we meet is Quistis, and if you went and gave her your own girlfriend’s name, you’d be in trouble. [1/2]

Asked if FF8's happy ending was made to contrast with FF7's more melancholy ending, Kitase says it was. In terms of its setting as well, FF7 starts you in this oppressively dark world of Midgar, where you can’t even see the sky. This time he wanted to go with a more upbeat story. (FF8 Ultimania)

For the Catastro spell, they were going to pan down this four-panel comic that Selphie had sketched. It would show Selphie getting mad after being attacked by the enemy and lashing out with a big counterattack. [2/2] (FF8 Ultimania)

FF8 Battle Effect Director Shintaro Takai says the spells “Percent” and “Catastro" were cut for Selphie due to time constraints. Percent was this spell that would have dropped a big weight down from above. [1/2]

Hojo in the first phase of his boss fight has a completely unique "death" animation where he ingests some Mako before the phase shift that is never seen due to a few oversights in his battle AI and attack data.

I think its pretty....relaxing to sometimes engage with a long piece of media. Long game, discography, book series. Something just hits about knowing you got something to keep you occupied for that month or two

I found old works that I love. There are 4 more of them.
All my art is divided into folders and generations. Now I'm showing the 5th and 6th generation.
I also developed a system where I arts all the time, but I don't get tired. But new art is being drawn anyway!

Purity culture has been staining the internet for a good while now. Everyone’s acting like fiction is a background check for morality, and it’s exhausting. It's spread like mold; turning what should be a fun time, into something people are scared to admit liking.
