ICYMI I have a blog-like site with a selection of posts that match what I toot about here. It doesn't have comments or tracking, so if you like it or would like to have a conversation about what I wrote, feel free to talk to me here on Mastodon. For cosplay, so far, there's 3 articles I wrote about the gunblade I am building - Lightning's Blazefire Saber from Final Fantasy XIII, in a version that can transform. More are planned. bikanel.de/tag/cosplay.html

Still working my way through this and it looks like I'm almost to the end of disc one. I only know that because I had to look up a guide to figure out where a code you're sent to find was.

While I was looking that up in noticed that there were a couple GFs that I missed so I did a little cheating and used a save editor to unlock them. One was from a magic lamp given to you early on that I don't have in my inventory anymore so I'm think I might have sold it lol

In the Steam summer sale, among a bunch of other retro games, I bought the pixel remaster of the original Final Fantasy. So far, I'm really enjoying it!

The simpler design makes it feel like it has more in common with old school CRPGs than modern JRPGs. It has really nice QoL improvements but still feels like an NES game in the best ways possible.

It makes me feel extremely nostalgic in so many ways even though I never played the original!

Aldilà delle varie mestizie di ieri, grazie a @effimera e @cretinodicrescenzago mi sono messo (ma guarda un po') a ragionare su #FinalFantasy e in un puro momento onanistico mi sono riletto due righe che scrissi per FFIX circa nove anni fa (la febbre dei 9?)

A tal proposito il discorso dovrebbe intrippare un po' pure @Archimed3 che d'immersione se ne intende e secondo me FFIX dovrebbe rigiocarselo :breathe:

Quel tipo di mondi li temo proprio non li rivedremo più, mannaggia allo scaraburi

25 years ago today one of the best entries in the Final Fantasy series was released. At first glance, it's easy to consider Final Fantasy IX as a light and whimsical title, especially in the shadow of FFVII. But anyone who has played the game knows that beyond its colourful characters and gorgeous scenery, it explores themes of existentialism, identity, finding your chosen family, finding love and acceptance as you are, and also finding yourself and what it means to carve your own path and to make the choices that define you, despite your past or what inner or outer darkness you are fighting against.

It's a story that asks some very deep questions about dealing with depression, the meaning of life, and the fear of death and loss, that ultimately rejects nihilism by emphasising how even the realisation that existence is temporary and mortality is inevitable doesn't diminish the importance of connecting, loving, sharing, hoping, experiencing the little moments, and fighting for a better world. It's one the most beautiful and hopepunk games to have come out in the last few decades that remains more relevant than ever, and is well worth discovering even today.
