#FF6 opera

[atinylittledog]

i wish they'd make an FF6 anime but when they'd get to the opera house they dedicate an entire episode to the draco and maria opera and instead of being accurate to the game it's the full uncut version of the song complete with narration with little to no cutaways like the show completely stops dead in it's tracks for that one singular episode and becomes a full adaption of the opera

Bad: Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia is ending service at the end of February 2024, and I'll no longer be able to play new content as characters from long-finished entries in the series.

Better: People have posted tutorials on how to rip the game assets and manipulate them in 3D modeling programs to make them do whatever you want.

I promise to only use this newfound power for good.

(I don't want to have to say goodbye to him again, but at least I can depict the event in a way that I know the actual game won't give me, lol)

Goodbye Opera Omnia you meant a lot to me and many other people :')

Belatedly celebrating International Ninja Day (apparently, that's a thing now) by sharing this video of a super-rare interaction between my first two favorite Final Fantasy characters who are both of the [ninja] job class: Yuffie and Shadow!

Edge, Final Fantasy's first elaborately-designed ninja character, is in there too—evidently completing the "ninja trifecta" of the franchise. Although, I personally don't like him very much. My favorite FFIV character is Edward...

Anyway, I think it's worth pointing out the timeliness of revisiting this scene as the crossover between FFVII and FFVI is one of the hottest topics with regard to Final Fantasy as of late. Moreover, it validates the idea that Yuffie's DLC outfit should be Shadow's garb/style; which is something I've suggested in a comment or two on Facebook, and argued against by someone who believes that it should be Relm's outfit instead. 🤷

On a completely tangential note, I've also proposed that Barret's DLC outfit should be that of General Leo...or "Umaro". 😬🥷💨

SO, I'M A LITTLE OFIUYTDSUU I got up to the Opera scene in Final Fantasy 6 that inspired Mettatons own opera-like scene, and I forgot that there is a character named Prince Ralse featured in the play And I was like "Zamn. Imagine Ralsei was based off this name."

FUCKIN' TURNS OUT THAT I WAS KINDA CLOSE????

Speaking of playing with sprites like dolls...I have that old FF6 Opera Scene in Chrono Trigger sprites that I never actually completed. I should get back in and finish that.

Kinda obvious, but the plan is to take the Queen Leene and Princess Nadia sprites, and all the Guardia Kingdom Knight sprites from 600 AD (maybe some from 1000 AD?), and remake as much of the Opera Scenes as possible. Up to and Including animating it w/ music (bc I hate myself apparently).

I started this at the height of Flash w/ all my classes that taught me how to use this program in my degree (that I never finished). I technically still have Flash on my computer, so theoretically I could still use it to animate and export as a video file.

(Or I could find a different keyframe animation software and teach myself that? Meh.)

Cyan’s WoR Story

Act 4, Chapter 2 - Part 2 of Opera Omnia is rather intense with the Clerra hints.

Terra says something peculiar, and since she says it with Vincent and Eiko in the scene I feel like I have to post the translation.

Terra: “But I want to believe in inevitability. My esper father and my human mother met beyond the boundaries of their world. Maybe I was born to connect the two races with this power I was struggling with...I'm ready to move forward.”  

This scene is all about finding someone to love (the whole chapter is about loving someone, tbh), so in essence, that’s what Terra’s talking about here. It’s not really clear with just this line alone, so I’ll put the line that she’s responding to below (which comes before a line by Vincent, who always portends Clerra-related storylines in DFFOO):

Chelinka: “Hmm, maybe it hasn't clicked for me yet, but someday I'll meet someone like my mom and dad, and just "know"!   But...isn't that an incredible miracle? My mom was a priestess, so she could see it, but for normal people, depending on the world's situation and position, there are times when you can't fall in love, right?”  

A few scenes later Cyan will recall his World of Ruin story...

Cyan: Yes...I once encouraged a girl who had lost the will to live after losing her lover. She looked so haggard...but when she talked about her memories of love, she looked lively and I felt relieved.

The FF6 Opera was more informative, so I just kinda ignored Cyan’s story, but it’s now time to mention it. Here’s Cyan’s letter:

Dear Lola,

I’m writing to beg for your forgiveness. I am guilty of perpetuating a terrible lie. I have only now realized the error of my ways, and taken up this quill in hopes of correcting a great wrong. Your boyfriend, who you believed to be in Mobliz, passed away some time ago. I have been writing to you in his stead. We humans have a tendency to become trapped in the past and refuse to move on. I implore you not to let this happen. Now is a time for you to look forward, and rediscover love and all of the other joys of life...

Cyan

The hint that this is “secretly” about Terra and the cut main character are the flowers surrounding the letter, since it’s clear that the “filling the world with flowers” dream was a original story element from FF6 involving Terra and the cut main character. It’s very easy to see, and I’m sure a lot of stuff in FF6 has this "missing main character storyline” rhetoric. It’s interesting that Cyan mentions the guy as being in Mobliz, since that’s where Terra’s World of Ruin story takes place and where you get the Fenrir esper, which I know was always supposed to be for Cloud (thanks to the similarities with Squall’s Griever).

At this point when FF6 was released, I don’t think they had any plans to “reunite” the main character and Terra (Square was struggling when they made FF7)...Nomura decided on that during FF7′s production as they were almost going to give Cloud a different love interest (it was an early form of Aerith). Nomura’s decision to instead put the original FF6 main character in the game as Cloud gave birth to Zack. The FF6 Opera does hint of the possibility of a reunion at the end of its translations, but the FF7 Remake makes it apparent that Terra’s not the one going to wait (”Hollow” lyrics are a good example).

This line Cyan says gives me “Loveless” vibes, and on that note, Crisis Core devs decided to specifically include the last line from Loveless’ ending (originally said by Cid at the end of OG FF7):

Went to see LOVELESS From: Kunsel

Contents:

Genesis, K.I.A? Yeah, right. Who do they think they're trying to fool? Just got back from seeing the stage production of LOVELESS in Midgar. Genesis was a big fan, wasn't he? I usually don't care for classic drama, but it was pretty damned good. The guy is the hero in the original, but the play was more from the viewpoint of the girl who helps the guy. When I heard that last line: "Of course... I'll come back to you. Even if you don't promise to wait. I'll return knowing that you'll be here." Aw, man, that's when I lost it and just started bawling. Received: After being promoted to 1st.

It’s surprising how many Final Fantasy games have this rhetoric, but it is in essence about Cloud and Terra or a product of what happened to them. Yet, despite all their hinting in a bucket-load of games, no one seems to “get the hint”.

By the way, when I put the bold over “The guy is the hero in the original”, I realized that many people take these story elements too literally. Sure, you can assume that Square-Enix is creating “new intriguing stories”, but this isn’t what’s happening. Why would they say “The guy is the hero in the original”? The original line literally came from the end of FF7 and had nothing to do with Genesis’ gibberish. It’s about Cloud and Terra, no joking, period.
