Celebrating the Final Fantasy series as well as the franchises that have spawned from it [Ex: SaGa, Mana, Kingdom Hearts, Bravely Default, Octopath Traveler, etc.]
And shout-outs to Phantasy Star, Megami Tensei, and Ys for hitting their 38th Anniversaries along with Final Fantasy and are still going strong.

Gotta give a shout-out to Final Fantasy II as well since it’s 37th Anniversary was yesterday.

I really wish the boomer crowd of fans would go into each new FF entry with the text from the 2nd pic fresh in their mind.

Feels weird to grill in December with no snow in CO.

Hard to believe this all started 38 years ago when my time on this planet could be measured in a single fortnight.

After all these years I’ve realized that it’s the series ability to bring as much familiarity as well as new systems and mechanics into the games that’s kept me hooked since 1997.

She loves it when I infodump about Final Fantasy:

NGL, I thought this was KH reference until I moved the camera and saw that the rest of the cliffside is riddled with holes from cannons and artillery.
December 14, 2025 at 5:37 PM
Well, none of this was a surprise. 😅

Yesterday’s random find - an almost new copy of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep with a slip cover for $25.

Eternally grateful to anyone that takes the time to pack mods and get them working with the Dresscode plug-in.
December 10, 2025 at 9:21 AM
Also, got the mods working and being able to switch outfits on the fly is nuts.

I love how the scale of the map makes Midgar look so tiny compared to the Grasslands Region:

I hope that R3 adds the ability to pose/arrange the party in various ways. Would be dope if they could all sit and have a nice moment to relax here:

Me and the homies talking about the odds of FFVII:R3 being revealed at TGA this week:

Here we go again:

I'd like to think that this was my last time going through Remake with a fresh file, but I know I'll end up with the game on NS2 at some point. Until then, I thoroughly enjoyed the Advent Children, Ever Crisis, and Kingdom Hearts mods I used in this playthrough.

Time to replay Rebirth

NGL, I’ve always thought that ending FFXV with a novel was kinda classy.

Considering the fact that FFXV had; a movie, an anime series, both fishing and 2D spin-off entries, having a novel really completes the multimedia experience they were going for.
December 9, 2025 at 1:52 AM
I love how well the devs were able to convey scope and scale of Midgar in Remake:
December 8, 2025 at 10:49 PM
Time to wrap up this file on Remake. I'll be back to 100% it at some point.

My favorite piece of Art that Amano did for Final Fantasy V:

I *really* wish that Bartz and Faris had unique sprites for the Crimson and Cerulean blades.

Haven't done an Amano Art Appreciation post in a hot minute. I'll do my Top 5 favorite pieces from FFV:

(5th pic will have to be a QRT)
December 6, 2025 at 4:52 PM
That sequence is what inspired to me to create Art with both analogue and digital tools:

Happy 33rd Anniversary to Final Fantasy V! A truly whimsical and majestic experience that I try to replay every year or two.

This baby has it all; Job System, Blue Magic, werewolf village, Interdimensional shenanigans with evil trees.

Easily my favorite 2D RPG. ❤️

I don't know which Ever Crisis event Aerith's dress is from, but it reminds me of something I'd see in Monster Hunter.
December 5, 2025 at 4:10 PM
I really hope that FFVII:R3 adds more frog shenanigans
