The third and final piece to be used as a proxy for my Bristly Bill, Spine Sower deck.

Just with the togemon piece, the sky (and especially the clouds) were heavily inspired by those found in Homestuck.

Souji would fit so well in just about any of the Final Fantasy universes tbh

Last night, a good friend of mine was nerding out about the various summons and differences between FF 7-10 and showing me videos that showed the various summons. It was a video about FF8 summons where one of the summons just squished the enemy like a flattened JPEG and him & I were just cackling in glee at the absurdity of the animation.

He continued to show me more videos about the summons, but I just had to make this image real:

This video here shows the exact summon that this is related to, and coming from someone who doesn't know much about any of the FF games, I found it hilarious.

Favorite FF monster? Workin' on somethin for ya!

Final Fantasy? Probably either Red Chocobos, or maybe Cactuars

FF Bestiary entry #3: Cactoid Not quite a cactuar, but I always thought the FFXII cactus fellas were way cuter. And they always look like they're mid panic attack

Rebirth update 5

Just got done with costa del sol and have to say, slightly annoyed at the moment. Just got a date quests which forces you to go with Aerith. Now that by itself isn't a problem, the game loves forcing you to go on dates you don't want to go on, and Aerith also goes on a date with Tifa. Clearly anything is a date in this game. The problem is that I'm trying to keep Aeriths affection rating low so I don't want to finish the quest, but after talking to the NPCs initiating the quest I no longer had any option to refuse to do it. This also wouldn't be too big of a problem....if it weren't for the fact that now Aerith is following me around Costa Del Sol wherever the hell I go. Also, I've noticed that with Aerith our "relationship" is always forced from the outside. Either it's Aerith forcing Cloud on a date in Remake, the Wall market people or other NPC's just asserting they're love birds, Aerith forcing Cloud up a clocktower or grabbing his arms when he's clearly uncomfortable. It never comes from Cloud himself, it's never natural. It actually kinda reminds me of Cleriths trying to force Cloud into something he clearly doesn't want. It's honestly really uncomfortable to see. Anyway, the sidequests here were fun but not the easiest to get through. Getting a perfect score on the piano took me at least 5 tries and required me to reset the entire game when I made a mistake since it didn't allow a simple "try again". Got very lucky with RedXVIIs football game, took me about 3 resets I think, and managed to get through barrets pirate minigame after some trial and error as well. Biggest issue was finding the yellow hand in spot for the segways, I accidentally finished the entire "cactuar photo" sidequest while just riding around looking for the yellow hand in.

My beachwear style matched Tifas naturally, so that was nice, and I like it when the game is more obvious about what the right choices are, like choosing to go help Tifa and Red during the beach assault. Wasn't sure what the good and bad options were during the beach conversation though so I looked it up and discovered I actually didn't select the best option for Tifa in Junon, which is unfortunate but still. Also found out that every option is "good". Fighting with Tifa in a bikini adds at least one star to this game, and in general I am always happy though when running into Andrea Rodea or Madam M so all in all good times. And Johnny is just always good fun. Something I realized I am not too big a fan of are the summonings in general. In FFVII unfortunately summoning has never been a massive part of the story like in FFIX or FFX. They could have potentially addressed this by tying them in with "WEAPON" more explicitly, but since that didn't happen they're mainly reduced to just being a mechanic that's there because all FF games need Summonings. But the way to remedy that would be to make the summons an integral part of the world, to tie them into the sense of adventure through exploration, by making them a part of the natural landscape in some way. And the groundwork for that is there, the summoning shrines, those are great. But why is the culmination of these quests done in a soulless vr simulation? These should honestly be like regional bossfights that are unlocked by completing a set of regional intel stuff. I feel like this is a really big missed opportunity. Next up is another round of region intel, I wonder what the speedrun time of this game will be, I'd like to see a speedrun which incorporates doing every single minigame 100%

1, 8, 17, 24? 🤘

1. Meaning behind your url when i was trying to decide on a url about seventy years ago, i landed on lordgroose, because i was a big fan of zelda games. i think skyward sword was pretty big at the time? anyway, Groose is the best zelda character change my mind

8. Favourite movie really close tie between Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World!

17. Piercings you want ages ago, i used to have my left earlobe pierced! i tried stretching it too much too fast and it got infected, so i removed the piercing and it closed up. i'd really love to get both lobes pierced again someday! i've considered an ear or nose piercing as well, but idk if i'll ever do it tbh

24. Tattoos you want there have been so many over the years that have come and gone while i've controlled the impulse to get them lol. i still think a triforce on my hand would be neat. one of my former coworkers has the l'cie brand from ffxiii tattooed on his arm, i think that'd be neat. or a cactuar from ff somewhere would be solid!

the number 34 is really important to me as well, i'd like to have that number on me somewhere. idk. i haven't thought about tattoos too much lately. i still don't have any! i should probably change that someday.

alright, so i have finally beaten final fantasy 15! (took me only 120-ish hours for that) and boy let me tell you these final chapters are absolute rollercoaters xD

like damn talk about tonal shift. pretty much every final fantasy does that mid- to late-game but wow, in 15 shit goes downhill really fast.

chapter 14 was amazing, and although it did break my heart and leave me a shadow of my former self (that ending HURT), it was emotional in a good way.

that bossfight against the kings of yore was the highlight of the chapter to me. it really solidified the ff15 party as one of the best in the franchise (at least for me. the guys have some of the best synergy.). it was so badass and honestly better than the final boss himself. and hey, what do you mean it wasn't in the original release?

yeah, i love this game sincerely to bits, but it's veeeery noticeable just how rushed and underdeveloped it is in multiple aspects. even the windows/royal edition can't totally remedy that fact, and that makes me very sad. this game had so much potential to be one of the best ff's ever!

anyways, uh here's my certificate of completion. games don't often give you these xD

(yeah level 99 may have been a little overkill. not my fault that the cactuar timed quests give so much exp!)

and since i beat the game on day 31 (kinda fitting), i did have the opportunity to fight the dread behemoth and his pal tyraneant just in time to not have to wait until the end of october. let's just say that this was the true final bossfight at the end of the day xD

(unfortunately for them, i had way too many elixirs and mega-potions on my inventory, hehe)

also, may i draw some attention to the amazing soundtrack that this game has? can't be a good final fantasy game without some great music! there are many great tracks from yoko shimomura here, but apocalysis aquarius in particular has been stuck in my head for a good while. it's very very good.

so, final thoughts: final fantasy 15 may be unfinished and deeply flawed, but it is a pretty good experience if you vibe with it. and honestly, "roadtrip with the boys" should be an entire video game genre.
