I'm watching a playthrough of FFVII by a streamer/youtuber I really like (death_unites_us/4-8Productions) to remind myself of what happens in the OG as I go through Rebirth, and this line feels very important given holy seems to have turned clear in the main timeline. I already picked up on that, but I forgot about this specific point of the White Materia turning green on activation. I'm definitely going to keep this in mind!

I’m on chapter 11 of Rebirth

Crying screaming throwing up

nothing like more disposable characters w surface level development from the minds behind ffxvi 😭

Oh, hey. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth news.

Pretty microscopic news, but it's still news. And good news, at that.

[autopotion]

Hate when I follow new games 'cause then I get distressed that I don't have modern consoles

[chronicas]

What if I just played Kingdom Hearts I, II, and III and just tried to use context clues to figure it out. How fucked up is that or does it kinda work? Idk if I’ll be able to actually really enjoy these games enough to like marathon them. Can I just.. skip some of ‘em? Or are all the others like ABSOLUTELY necessary.

((I feel like the people who hate on ffxv are weirdos who only like linear gameplay. like... i dont know how you could be like ‘this is a shit game >(’ looking at those graphics, looking at how fun warp strike is, looking at how much dialogue and personality the characters have with, what was it like, 1000 lines of party dialogue?

i mean i feel like in hindsight its not as beautiful as i remembered but i cant think of a game that is more beautiful lmao. so used to character models idling like :I but the boys will always have different expressions, especially depending on where in the story you are. fuuuck.

im actually disappointed in the ff games that came after xv because they dont seem to have the depth but then again they werent open world i guess lol))

[baiheyurisolidarity]

I'd say the "wonder" or "magic" of the final fantasy series is dead. It's still present in less recent games of course, but it really cannot be found in the more recent ones like ffxv, ffxvi, and ffviir2.

2024 Creator Reflection

FFXIV.

1. Playing with each others' fingers

it was nice to write wwi again... id planned for a complete conversion of nol and eli's story into this verse, but other hyperfixations got in the way and i forgot all my research for it (thankfully I have lots of notes). i liked how both of them are ridiculous here, and how nolanel is able to show both reason and disorder under an incompetent system.

2. Frightened

i think this was the strongest nol/eli writing this year. i had a lot of fun working out the correct verbs and balance during the fight. challenging nol w magic and garleans was also satisfying. i didnt get to participate much in nutley's extraordinary Tower rp plot, so im glad i could write this little bit of nol during endwalker. his silly convo w eli abt crushes is also set during that time.

3. Possessive Hand-Holding

This one is cute. I like culture shocking nol and eli with each other's communities, but i usually do that w nobility or penury, not making nolanel walk into a cruising district HGTHGTHHU 

FFXVI.

1. For Now I Am Winter

i have two more to write, but this is 200 words each (plus a couple bonus longer ones) of teredios in winter. i got to write some wwi au which kind of made me rly happy. i started to get used to the tiny frame as i continued throughout the month, and it rly enabled me to explore some ideas whether or not they fit in such a limit or not. i ended up liking each response in its own way, but i think 4. tinsel, 10 icicle, and 16. candles are my favs. i also need to give a big thank you to my friends for absolutely exploding my emails w comments. you make me so happy 😭😭😭

2. the waves now loose

tall ship brain rot finally indulged in.. it was fun to be back on the water after so long. getting to write invulnerable, young, spiteful dion after coming from my tired post-game dion was also great fun. it took me about 4 months to finish it and it began w this bullet point i cooked up while brainstorming lavendre's 2023 secret santa/No murmur against Fate.

even if this is canon-compliant tedi (the sanbreque navy is REAL OK🤡), i liked getting to establish some more of terence's refusal to accept the wider financial responsibility of knighthood bc that will be big in The Light I Hear ch3. talking abt the violence and tragedy of the ship is what i did best tho i think.

'terence writings words on dion's back w his finger' is a very old concept i had in my pocket for nol/eli which never had the right time. this fic has the longest and most explicit smut ive ever written (which isnt a lot lbr) and i think it finally kicked that bug out of my brain that liked writing it. which is also to say, idk how to reflect on it bc i feel neutral towards it rn. i have a lot of brainworms i need to wake up in 2025 to feel passionate again.

im not gonna put too much detail into this before i make myself upset. i didn't really meet any of my goals from last year. i did a lot of tellier research and made some astounding developments on that end, but not much else. i want to write more no matter what. i can feel the rust on myself every time i try to write, and when i look at my older writing and its beauty i get paralyzed by how i can no longer produce something like it right now.

i had a lot of good times last year too, though, and miku expo was probably the best day of my life. i also got to see kikuo, masashi hamauzu, nothing but thieves, and ffviir2 orchestra. we went to new york and i met karo and anew! i went to tellier's apmnt and found new poems! i made wyvern tails and gave a few out. i played a lot of disney dreamlight and made some decor im rly happy with. i plotted jillian's xmas gift for a while and she really liked it. i enjoyed the new dragon age game a lot. i bought some books im super thrilled to have. i got the sculpture arts aerith statue.

i need to build my stupid pc no matter what. i need to take care of myself. i need to let myself write instead of fearing my inability. im going to finish my degree next year. im scared about 2025, but it'll also be the year me and jillian get to see hachi. i really hope we can see hitorie at miku symphony.

thank you everyone for being my friend

shUT UP EVERYONE SHUT UP

IT FINALLY HAPPENED AND NO ONE TOLD ME AND I’VE BEEN BUSY SO I DIDN’T KNOW BUT AFHDGDJHSGDG FFVIIR2 HAS A RELEASE DATE

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH HAS A RELEASE DATE ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

After actual motherfucking years of checking development updates on at least a monthly basis, we’ve gone from “fingers crossed” to “in the future” to “how about winter of 2023-2024” to “February 29th, 2024!” I KNOW I’m two weeks late to the news, keep that shit to yourself, I had exams. It’s 3am and I want to scream and jump up and down because ohhhhhh my GOD mmhrkmkjrh I’m so goddamn excited that part 2 is finally being released. PART 2 IS FINALLY BEING RELEASED <3 <3 <3

I’m so fucking stoked to see literally everything—the gang again, more remastered music, which direction the story is taken in—but if I get into all of that now I’m never going to sleep.

Here’s to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, coming February 29th, 2024! (!!!!!!!)

[mariyekos]

Hit another point in Rebirth where a difference is so upsetting I don't want to continue. This seems so much worse. I hate this. I am paused mid cutscene and have been for 5 minutes because I hate this so much. Ugh!!!!

[huzr]

thought I might scroll tumblr for a bit but it's doing the thing where after 10 posts it gets confused and shows the loading animation as if I have infinite scrolling on even though I use page view on my dash. so it just doesn't load anything

so I guess it's time to go back to playing ffviir2

[sepiksredux]

Jumping up and down cheering that The Final Shape has been delayed to June because now I don’t have to be desperately trying to play FFVIIR2 and D2 at the same time. ANNDDDD :] my birthday’s close to that release :]]]

[newty]

i forced my family to see lammermoor and it was rly fun! they made it game of thrones themed to entice everyone who isn't into 200yo operas but rly that just meant they changed everyone's last names??? shaking hands w lucia. shes just like me when my hair's not washed fr
