パフューム・Nebula Romance Album: Part 1

Okay so after fully listening to it, I give it a 7/10:

01. The Light - nahhh🪓

02. Love Cloud - Big BIG tune, I was blessed to hear it at their concert last year before it was released🔥🫶🏾

03. Cosmic Treat - Sadly not for me, after hearing it in full, I'm disappointed. It could have been Party Maker 3.0 🪓

04. Starlight Dreams - ✨ LOVE SPARKLE SPARKLE

05. IMA IMA IMA - another no🪓

06. Sumikko Disco - Kawaii but not kawaii enough to put on my playlist, beautiful gowns though🫶🏾

07. Morning Cruising - Love this!! 🔥🔥🔥Put this in persona 4 if Atlus ever remakes the game and I'd be none the wiser.

08. Time Capsule - I keep thinking this is Time Warp but thankfully it's not, IT'S EVEN BETTER AND I LOVE IT💜 Is it me or could this song (or even Starlight Dreams) have been on the radio in Vice City?

09. Jikuu Hana - PERFUME'S HYMN OF THE FAYTH 🙏🏾🛐🤲🏾 Need them to cosplay Yuna, Dona and Shelinda and sing this in a concert hall designed to look like a Spira temple

10. Mobius - I would have put this as track 9 but it's a bop, giving very much Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Metropolis Zone✨🥹

Here's hoping Part 2 has solos and a song that's like Party Maker or Story, gimme a 7 min track again!!

Don't usually share things from other Final Fantasy games, but this gave me chills.

This rendition of the Hymn of the Fayth being performed in an actual church by a group of singers needs way more attention. It sounds absolutely stunning and haunting at the same time!

[nightdheart]

messing around with effects and audacity with the hymn of the fayth in my head.,

[aberooski]

And no one was surprised aksksk

[desertdragon]

I should show it off here too but I have zero control and made the plate reference Them then threw the Hymn of the Fayth on there, bc it fits and it always gives me chills

[vincentvalenfine]

finally getting back to work on auron self-ship? hell yeah

[hisrising-archive]

slowly, very slowly, sending out those asks while listening to every version of hymn of the fayth knowing bahamut & valefor's are my favorite.

Y'know there's a solid argument to be made for me worshiping Yevon from Final Fantasy X because the Hymn of the Fayth is literally a vocal stim I sing to calm myself down. I have the entire thing memorized and it's not even English words. I don't think it's Japanese either, I think it's a conlang?

[meatball-headache]

Future speculation.

So, this lowercase-kay "key" is the key to the next major story arc, obviously. This thing can enable cross-shard travel in ways that Syrcus Tower could only dream of.

Let's review what we know: the key appeared in our world when it was given to Gulool Ja Ja along with baby Krile; it was used by the Lalafell of the lightning dimension to escape an ice-based calamity in their own dimension. Aha! Paving the way for future ice dimension expacs, right? Well, no, because you and I both know the clarifications we received in Living Memory: the tropical paradise the lalafell once lived in and the ice calamity that ruined it, their use of arcane magic, and the timing all matches the Aloalo civilization in our own world. So the key actually came from the Source, not one of the shards. (Why do I think the word is "shard," by the way? The game exclusively uses "reflection.")

So, who made it? Not the Allagans; it far exceeds what they could only barely manage with the entire Crystal Tower. And, we get a very clear sign: when you use the Azem crystal at the final battle, Azem's symbol lights up on the key. And this makes sense, because with the infinite power of creation magic, surely they could whip up something like this...

...only, wasn't Azem sundered along with everyone but Lahabrea, Elidibus, and Emet-Selch? A sundered person couldn't possibly hope to have this kind of power. In fact, at the beginning of Shadowbringers, Emet-Selch seemed impressed that the Allagans had the ability to do it at all. Emet-Selch himself had to orchestrate these massive calamities to get worlds' aether to spill into one another on their own. And here's a key that can just fuse worlds at the push of a button! The Alexandrians somehow have the power to just get a rejoining on demand.

With the power of the key being so extreme, it seems unlikely that a sundered person could do it. It seems almost to be beyond the ability of the Ascians themselves. But, we've been surprised by dynamis, so, perhaps there's some still-greater magic at play.

But, with Azem's symbol on it, there seems to be little doubt who could have had a hand in it. Pre-sundering, Azem would have no reason to build this thing; post-sundering, Azem would have no power to build it.

Maybe it wasn't made by Azem; maybe it was made by Hydaelyn or even Zodiark, or one of the other Ascians? Perhaps it just showed Azem's symbol because it was reacting to Azem's crystal being used; it would show whatever symbol for whatever crystal was used nearby.

Now, I'm pretty dumb, so speculating never gets me anywhere. But, the whole game is full of dramatic twists. No one was playing in Garlemald in Endwalker and thinking, "I bet we'll go back in time to the age of the ancients, and find out that the original Fandaniel used a secret emotion-based magic to create an envoy to other worlds, which got so sad when it found them all in a state of strife that it decided to end our world, too, and that's what caused the Final Days. Also he wiped everyone's memories once he sent the envoys." Certainly while playing Dawntrail I wasn't thinking, "I bet inside the bubble is a fused world made from another shard that has the technology to cross the rift at will, and also all the people are immortal and powered by other peoples' souls, and later I get to be in a play with the captain of the knights."

But, I reiterate: when we go to the water dimension, I want blitzball, I want a /blitzball emote, and I want to fight Sin. Hymn of the Fayth orchestrion roll? Al Bhed raid weapons? If they make the Calm Lands a zone I will die instantly. After what they've done for FFIV and FFIX, it's not out of the question!

yuna's revolution and the case for a stronger relationship between her and her aeons

upon finishing ffx, one big critique i had was the lack of any demonstrated relationship/symbolism/pattern between yuna and her aeons

it’s a discredit to yuna’s completeness, complexity, empathy, and triumphant journey to suggest her relationship with her aeons is intended to be solely transactional or duty-driven as presented in the story, especially given the story climaxes with yu yevon punishing yuna by weaponizing her aeons against her and presents yuna releasing her aeons from their purgatory as the ultimate cathartic liberation— a move that is paralleled to her loss of tidus, the immortalized fayth closest to her heart.

through ffx’s story the audience is meant to appreciate why it is that yuna is unique among summoners— why she is the summoner of summoners, why it is she who is the only one who can defeat sin where braska and the others could not, why she is the first with enough empathy to think to release the aeons from their genie bottle. amongst the reasons should have been a humanistic connection and appreciation for the aeons beyond their loyalty as weapons, and for the fayth behind the aeons.

ffx doesn’t exist to demonize the fayth behind the aeons— they are painted as victims who revolt against sin’s destruction by recruiting tidus on his journey, aiding yuna on hers, and concocting the hymn. a relationship between yuna and her aeons is therefore synonymous with relationship between yuna and oppressed people of zanarkand themselves.

as a summoner yuna receives her aeons in a prophetic manner that wracks her body in a feverish revelation every time. the aeons are not presented as evil themselves— tidus describes them as gentle, and yuna pets valefor and trusts her to save her from a forced marriage rite. ifrit cradles her, and anima wants yuna to take her with her to atone for martyring herself for her son. when yuna returns to their temples and resting places they bestow upon her advice and gifts. at ffx’s conclusion, yuna saves the fayth from of a cycle of sacrifice the same way she absolves herself and other summoners from the same. in this, yuna defeats the concept of sacrifice and martyrdom itself.

while some of the proposed humanistic connection between yuna and her aeons is explored through her relationship with tidus, who is perfect fodder for her final aeon, an emotional relationship between her and her actual aeons would have enhanced the internal conflict that is yuna realizing the summoner identity that gave her so much strength and purpose also makes her complicit in yu yevon’s crimes of weaponization and makes her a cog in the wheel of religious zealotry. yuna’s acknowledgment of this and refusal to perpetuate the cycle is what delineates her from yu yevon, who weaponizes and abuses the fayth and aeons readily, and who gets off on punishing summoners who stood up to his tyranny to trap the ones they love as his slaves.

Thoughts on Kying as a FF14 summoner Valefor as a dragoon for the sneaking drop down from the sky jumps and wilson as a bard.

Ooooh, I love that idea! So I made a quick scribble of that!

But I had to draw Kying as a FFX Summoner / in Yuna Outfit... with a very special Aeon. Beside Anima, it was my favorite summon. And Final Fantasy X still holds a very special place in my Heart.

Till this day I adore the song "Hymn of the Fayth (Youtube)"

Thank you so much for this Ask - that crossover made me a little nostalgic ♥

(I can't draw armor,... I'm very sorry for butchering the Dragoon Armor.)

20, 23, 24, 31. For the lil ask game c:

20. Do you say soda or pop?

Soda, but I was raised saying pop. I lost a bet with a friend some years ago and even though we don't talk anymore I still say soda. ^_^

23. How do you feel about chilly weather?

I love it - Autumn and Winter are my favorite seasons.

24. If we were together on a rooftop, what would we be doing?

Stargazing, I imagine. Maybe listening to music and making up stories about constellations. Maybe just talking about things we don't talk about often.

31. What type of music keeps you grounded?

Most of it. I like listening to music 24/7 as much as I can. Ambient noise drills into my brain, and sometimes there's tinnitus, but music blocks it all out.

If I need to self-soothe though I'll usually hum Hymn of the Fayth from Final Fantasy 10 - the song itself is just soothing to me, I think if I remember right it's meant to be soothing canonically. But I remember it easily and I can hum and sing it easily, so it's kind of automatically something I do when I need to.

Weirder Asks

[akumanoken]

What I should be doing: resting

What my brain is doing: Sou and Aya in any branch of pax aeterna, if they have to go the route of the final Summon, will volunteer together

Their aeon would probably be something akin to a biblical angel with their original forms intertwined and their hymn is in soft harmony

*proceeds to give me the harmony and the images of their aeon and their fayth effigy*
