anything goes

for you, none; why would you sign up for more than one to begin with? this is for anyone who hasn’t signed up for multiple yet-another-indie-writing platforms and is looking for a federated write freely instance to join (considering write.as is closed for registration).

same. i have an art book of his stuff on my living room coffee table; it’s been there for years. i’ve got an old copy of the Sandman issue illustrated by him as well; Morpheus looks especially moody in Amano’s style.

they’re aimed at teens/young-adults but it’s fun spotting the direct inspirations and differences. also, several Studio Ghibli films are based on books: Howl’s Moving Castle, Tales from Earthsea, The Secret World Of Arietty (kind of), and maybe a few others.

weird mix, but Kiki’s Delivery Service during the day and Infinite Jest before bed.

not sure. didn’t expect anyone would want to subscribe. i do plan on making more, but it will be awhile. you can always follow me on mastodon @[email protected] or follow the blog which i post some of the magazine articles in: oncomputer.games

took about two months. i have a full-time job and two kids as well, so would have taken less time if i didn’t have Grown Up Stuff to do.

that’s what this is – except it’s free! hope you like it.

agreed, it was a clever bait-and-switch-with-an-out

“no, remake doesn’t stand for REMAKE … it stands for RE-MAKE the story, completely, like … history is being REMADE! it’s time travel baby!”

they knew what they were doing; literally EVERYONE was expecting a close remake of the original game for modern consoles, instead we got a FINE and VERY COOL SEQUEL, but nothing close to the REMAKE they led people to believe.

FFX-2 was Square as well. It was developed by a Square team and released by Square in Japan, not SquareEnix. In fact, it was the last Square Final Fantasy game to be released. This is all easily verifiable on Wikipedia, as well.

The truth is that this was the direction they wanted to take the X universe, even had the same Director and everything.

every Final Fantasy is the best one

thanks for your input and service; i had a similar “in store ad” experience with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. the ad played on a display in the electronics section of a store called “MEDIA PLAY” and it blew me away, was the coolest thing i had ever seen at that time.

yeah, every time i play FF8 the beginning experience is usually “draw 99 of every magic as i find it” lol

FF6 is a great choice; you can see a lot of Final Fantasy 7 & 8 elements budding up, like the “equipping espers” being a precursor to materia or junction system. has some of the best music in the series as well, including one of my favorite boss themes “Decisive Battle”

i prefer 8 over 7, as well; the junction system may be “flawed” but it’s a unique take on character customization and progression.

Final Fantasy Tactics; not much needs to be done except making the graphics sharper, upping the resolution, improving the framerate, and making the motion smoother.
