I hadn’t seen that you reblogged this ask meme too! How about 13 & 37? 💙
Yeah we havin some fun! Later I’ll have to look over the list and see what you haven’t been asked yet 😘
13. Do you listen to music while you write? If yes, what have you been listening to recently?
Not usually, but only because I’m prone to get distracted by the music and start daydreaming to it. I’m one of the people who likes to imagine dramatic scenes with my favorite characters doing stuff to the music while I listen, so I don’t do that while writing to avoid the distraction. Although, if you want some song recommendations, I really love some Circles by Post Malone and Waiting by Slothrust. I love me some Posty; I saw him in concert in November and he’s a super wholesome sweet guy. My dad showed me Waiting. Good shit 👌
37. What fic has been the hardest for you to write?
Also A Dream Come True 😂🤣 I didn’t plan the fic out/story board at ALL, and that fact bites me in the butt sometimes (see where tf is chapter 10 😆). When I started writing it, I knew the beginning, a few scenes in the middle, and how I wanted it to end, so there’s been hiccups trying to figure out how I’m going to connect those pieces. There’s also scenes where there’s some intentional awkwardness between reader and Ardyn, and my brain is just like “too much cringe cannot compute” and doesn’t want to write it 😂 Luckily chapter 10 is like 90% finished, I just have to write the last bit and finish editing. The one shots come a lot easier to me cause working through individual scenes isn’t super hard for me.
Another fic I struggled with was my FFXV Secret Santa piece, That Snowy Knight. Don’t get me wrong, I had a blast participating and would like to do so next year, but it really gave me a run for my money. Since I try to keep this blog Ardyn/writing centric, it’s only on my AO3. The ship my giftee asked for was something I was very unfamiliar with, so I worried I wasn’t doing it justice/was doing it poorly. Now that it’s done though, I really love how it came out 😁 It’s Prompto x Ravus if anyone is interested. Not a ship I’m particularly into, but it was fun (and challenging) to write regardless.

No new Igtober piece from me tonight, but I did want to announce my penultimate guest for my Extra Life Charity Stream—everyone’s favorite Dungeon Master, Matthew Mercer! He is beloved by Critters everywhere, and has equally endeared himself to FFXV fans who know him as the game’s marshal, Cor “The Immortal” Leonis.
You can see all of these VAs and more on my playthrough of FFXV during Extra Life Game Day on November 7th! In order to make sure my computer is up to the challenge of running for 24 hours straight, I’ll be playing through some of Episode Duscae tomorrow night on my twitch channel (twitch.tv/i_s_e_b) at 6:00pm PST. Hope to see a few familiar faces in the chat! ٩( ᐛ )و

This is to assure 100% of all money made from this goes to the charities that we say they are. So, as I said in an earlier post, we are doing this a bit unconventional!
How can you get a zine?
All you have to do is to make a donation to that charity for $10.00 or more, and send us a copy of your receipt or screenshot of the completed donation! There are also charities for the EU fans who wish to support a charity that helps in Europe.
A donation of equal value (roughly) across the board would be: USA: 10$ UK: 8 £ EU: 9 €
Copies of your receipts and screenshots can be sent to: [email protected]
Can you donate more if you want too? 
Of course, you can! But you must give at least the above amount to be eligible to get the zine! Right now we are basically in the preorder phase, and you'll start receiving your zine on the afternoon of October 29th. Now, this is the important part:
This Zine will only be available from today, October 21st until November 18th, 2018. All donations must be dated within that time. Anything after the 18th of November will not be valid.
If you have any questions, please send an ask and let me know!

Please don’t suffer alone.   
https://mhe-sme.org/ Mental Health Europe’s main mission is to ensure mental health remains on the European agenda and that people living with mental ill health and psychosocial disabilities can actively participate in and contribute to society. This can only happen through a good understanding of mental health at European and international level. Mental health is not only about health but about the social issues and barriers we face, how we work, where we live, and our basic human rights: it cannot be addressed in silos.
Thank you for supporting our wonderful contributors and these charities!

A Year of Writing FFXV
Wow, I can’t believe Ive been writing consistently for FFXV for over a year now. I love it so much! Seriously, I have never been more involved in a fandom or made so many friends. And having so many happy experiences led to a lot of inspiration and a lot more fics, I think. And here I am to share them all!
I keep seeing end of the year art memes and I think they’re really cool, but I was a little sad that there’s nothing like that for fanfic. So I decided to do something similar enough. But a lot longer lol.
Here’s every fic that contributed to the over 200,000 words of FFXV fanfic I wrote in 2017! Its a big mix of SFW, NSFW and many, many pairings. I hope you enjoyed this year of fandom as much as I did! And please don’t be afraid to spread the fandom love <3

Jp2En: FFXV’s way forward (Interview with Director Tabata)
INDEX of the translations related to FFXV Famitsu-san released an article of the interview with Director Tabata at TGS 2017. Click “Keep reading” to see the full translation. Please bear in mind that my English proficiency is on seventh grade level, more or less :D The original article: https://s.famitsu.com/news/201709/24142632.html In the Active Time Report (ATR) TGS 2017 edition (pending), what comes next on FFXV UNIVERSE was revealed and the rest assured that the story will be deepened in 2018, and for more on this, let’s have a talk with Director Tabata. (Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2017 was held from September 21 to 24 in Chiba) (The “(pending)” was never taken off even after the ATR started) Famitsu (hereinafter called Fammy): A number of people were waiting in line to test play FINAL FANTASY XV MULTIPLAYER EXPANSION: COMRADES (hereinafter called Comrades). Director Tabata (hereinafter called Tabby): I stopped by to see how it goes, and the users are having fun playing it smoothly. Especially those who have played the main story, it seems they didn’t have any problems on how to move the characters and all. Fammy: The users play as the survivors of Kingsglaive, and I wonder if there’s a tint of Kingsglaive in Comrades. Tabby: Well, I think there is something for the Kingsglaive fans. Fammy: And I must ask this: I heard that Comrades takes place in the decade-long period where Noct is gone. Can we see Cindy? Of course we can, right? Tabby: Sounds desperate :D Not in Comrades, I have to say, but you will meet the important characters who have changed in a decade in the contents we plan to deliver in 2018. Fammy: MONSTER OF THE DEEP: FINAL FANTASY XV is coming soon. Do you find some new feelings through developing a VR content? Tabby: Do you remember that, when we saw a huge shoulder phone, we thought it would not be popular and be essential in our life. VR is something like that. It has a fantastic potential, but the hardware is a few steps behind and cannot handle it. The weight of the head-mounted display and the cable attached to it are the bottle neck to develop some full-blown VR contents. However, there’s a possibility of an abrupt change if the hardware improves. It would be amazing if we could experience the world where the reality and the virtual reality are well mixed. We do like PS VR, and if MONSTER OF THE DEEP gets positive reputations, we would like to develop another one. Fammy: I heard it was the final ATR, which lasted for long. Tabby: It’s been three years and there are a lot of fans who love and miss our ATR. We appreciate it, but we decided wrap it up from a positive reason. Now that the number of FFXV contents has grown, and the situation surrounding it has also changed since the first ATR. We would like to find a new best way to provide new information for the future expansion. Us, two old men (Tabby and Ofuji-san), delivering new information isn’t the one we’re looking for :D Fammy: So, as the Universe expands, the team provides information in a new way while keeping the community united? Tabby: We’d like to do so. FFXV has advanced by delivering many contents, and it allows the team to challenge against new technological issues. As a result, new leaders were born in the team. Comrades Director Takahashi, as introduced in the ATR, is one of them. We would like to invite a new generation into the community to communicate with fans and to provide new information. I guarantee that you’d be amazed how the developers have grown. The same goes for me. I’ve never stopped since the release date and I’ve saved quite amount of EXPs :D Fammy: You have to rest to use EXPs and level up :D I’m telling you. Tabby: Right :D But I would like to go non-stop on the expansion in 2018 to meet the expectations of fans. We would have put an end to FFXV UNIVERSE if there had not been fans’ voice. Fammy: About the expansion in 2018. Contents will be provided that enhance the story, right? Tabby: It’s not like we simply provide another DLC. It will be something that deeply related to the main story. We aim to deliver something like this: If you play those DLCs, you will find the meaning to play FINAL FANTASY XV again. Estimating from the current situation, it would be four big DLCs in a year, at most. That’s the maximum when it comes to developing a HD title. We’re narrowing down what kind of contents we could deliver within the four big DLCs. Fammy: And the roadmap will be released by the end of 2017. Tabby: We would like to release the roadmap in November. I want to make sure that we can work on the next expansion soon after Episode Ignis is released. Fammy: How can the users get additional DLCs? Tabby: We consider another season pass for those DLCs. The current season pass includes the contents until Episoe Ignis. Fammy: Got it. Fammy: Noct will be available in DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY NT to be released on January 11, 2018, right? Tabby: Director of DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY NT, Kujiraoka, and our combat team are working together. Director Kujiraoka has been developing the trait of Noct in DISSIDIA, and our team orders nothing especially. Director Kujiraoka has played FFXV by himself and knows Noct’s character and action, and we don’t see any problems there. Fammy: The last but not least, there’s been a rumor overseas that FFXV would be available in Nintendo Switch. Could you make it clear? Tabby: Ah, about that. We don’t want to cause any trouble here, so I’ll make it clear. There’s no plan delivering FFXV with Nintendo Switch. However, Nintendo Switch is one of our favorite hardware as well. Technical tests have been made to see what kind of games we can develop. As you know, we have our own game engine to develop games. We’ve been assessing whether to optimize the engine for Nintendo Switch, or should we use Unreal Engine from Epic Games, and this has been shared with both Nintendo and Epic Games. –Is what I talked (in an interview) overseas, and here we are. I don’t know why but there is a rumor that we would release FFXV in Nintendo Switch, haha… :D I wouldn’t deny the future possibility, but let me make this clear: there is no such plan now. First thing first. We deliver FFXV Pocket Edition for smartphone users and FFXV WINDOWS EDITION for PC users and hope to meet new fans, and provide DLCs so that long-time users can enjoy FFXV world next year.

Otherworld (Ignis Scientia/Reader)
Fandom: FFXV Genre: Humour, Drama, Angst (I know, great combination) Pairing: Ignis Scientia/ reader (even though nothing really happens) Words: 2640
(A/N): Ooops, I did it again! Yes, I neglected my OC-centered fic in favour of something completely different once more (I’m so sorry Cassidy! I promise I’ll make your story known one day!) and this is what happened. Most of it is just witty and angsty dialogue, but I hope you’ll enjoy it anyway. (Maybe I’ll write a second part at some point, considering this ‘end’ has a lot of loose ends, but I’ll try and finish at least the first 3 chapters of ‘Fire and Ice’ before I’ll come back to this.)
From the living room window, the darkened clouds of an approaching thunder storm were clearly visible. The streets, which were usually quite lively during the evenings, were emptying themselves, sheathing everything in a dull quiet, it was like the calm before the storm. Not the slightest noise was audible from afar, except for-
„Come on, die already! Oh my god, did that fucker just heal himself AGAIN?! I swear to God, this pattern isn’t normal”, you shouted at your TV, specifically at the boss in the game you were playing.  
The Sanctuary Keeper has been troubling you for almost 3 hours now and you were about to give up, though perhaps he’d be a lot easier to handle if you didn’t go for the “No Sphere-Grid challenge”, but you were convinced that you played ‘Final Fantasy X’ enough to know all the strategies and to be able to beat the game without levelling up your characters, but for some reason you were struggling with the boss right before your eyes.
“Ugh, this is embarrassing.”, you mumbled to yourself and when the Sanctuary Keeper hit you with another wave of its ‘Photon Wings’ attack you knew you were done for.
“Okay, that’s it, enough Final Fantasy for today.”
With a frustrated sigh, you closed the application on your PS4 and thought about what to do now, you contemplated whether you should just watch something on Netflix or check the PS Store for anything interesting. You decided to do the latter, in hopes of finding a new and exciting game, that maybe wasn’t as frustrating as ‘Final Fantasy X’ at the moment, so you opened the PS Store and browsed through the section featuring all the new games. You stopped for a moment when you saw the icon for a game called ‘Final Fantasy XV’.
“Wait, what? This is out already? I thought it wouldn’t come out before November?”
Intrigued you checked what this was about, clicking on the game for more information and, indeed, you could get the game immediately. Throwing your hands in the air, you decided to just give it a try. You’ve seen some trailers for this game and they looked promising enough. Of course, it would be another ‘Final Fantasy’ game for today, but you were sure this wouldn’t be anywhere as frustrating as what you did before.
You were surprised that it took only 10 minutes for the game to download, but once everything was done, you decided to start it and give it a try. But your anticipation and excitement for your new game didn’t last too long when, all of a sudden, your PS4 crashed and your TV screen went black.
“Oh, come on, are you kidding me?”
Aggressively you pushed the PS-Button on your controller and restarted your console. You tried to launch the game again, but to no success, your PS4 just crashed again. After 3 more unsuccessful attempts, you decided to plug out the ac-cable of your PS4 in hopes of resetting what was causing this problem and got up from your couch to do so. Reaching behind your console and fiddling around with the cable chaos behind your TV you finally found the right cable and gave it a quick and strong tug. It was at that exact moment, though, that a lightning struck your house, sending everything into darkness. You felt the electricity running through your veins and suddenly all you could see was black and you fell unconscious.
When you woke up again it was morning, or at least it seemed so. You tried to pull yourself up but stopped immediately when you felt every single of your muscles aching.
“Ughhh, what the hell happened?” you mumbled and put a hand to your head, trying to dull its aching. It was then that you noticed where you were, not on the ground of your living room, but in a very comfortable bed in a room you’ve never seen before.
‘Where the hell am I?’
You looked around the room, noticing a tray with food on a nightstand to your right. The only other thing on the nightstand was a clock, telling you it was currently 9:24am.
“Oh shit, oh shit, oh SHIT! I have to get to work!” you cursed while simultaneously trying to get up, the aching in your muscles be damned. Once your sense of balance finally adapted to your surroundings, you quickly took some steps towards the door only to find it locked. It was exactly then that you slightly began to panic. You didn’t know where you were or how you got there and now you were even locked in here? What exactly was going on?
“Heeeey! Anybody there? Would you be so kind AND LET ME OUT OF HERE?” you screamed while knocking infuriated at the door in hopes of anybody hearing you. Your efforts were rewarded with the sound of approaching footsteps. After a few moments, you heard the unlocking sound of the door and stepped aside, crossing your arms, awaiting to see the face of the person who dared to lock you up in this room.
When the door swung open it revealed a man standing right in front of you. You looked at him closely. He had light brown hair, which was styled up in a very spikey, yet kind of elegant, way. His face seemed very composed, his green eyes, hidden behind a pair of glasses, gave no emotions away. He was dressed in black trousers and wore a black blazer with – was that a leo-print shirt? – underneath it. ‘Interesting style choice…’ you mused, trying to supress the smile that tingled around your lips and you couldn’t help but think that you’ve seen him somewhere before.
“Are you done staring at me?” he enquired while crossing his arms, his posture now mirroring yours.
A blush started to blossom on your cheeks. You didn’t necessarily mean to stare but the man in front of you was definitely nice to look at. Now his presence felt sort of intimidating and you couldn’t help yourself but standing there like a babbling mess.
“Yeah, right, sorry. Didn’t really mean to - I mean, uhm… sorry, but who are you? You seem kinda familiar?” you stammered, clearing your throat to mask your embarrassment.
“I don’t think we’ve met before. I usually don’t forget a face.” He replied with a studied politeness in his voice.
“Uhm… okay? I guess… excuse me, but… where exactly am I? I don’t really remember getting here.”
“You’re at the Citadel and, truth be told, I was hoping you could tell me how you managed to get past the security guards at the gates without anyone noticing.” He curtly replied, his eyes piercing yours as if he was looking for the truth in them.
“The Citadel? Where exactly is that? Because all I remember is pulling out the ac-cord of my PS4 before everything went black.”
He raised his eyebrows at your answer, probably contemplating whether you were completely mad or just a good liar.
“So you’re not a citizen of the Crown City then?” was all he gave back.
“The what? Crown City? Okay, listen, I don’t know what madhouse you escaped from, but I really just want to get home.” now a hint of desperation clung to your voice. Whatever this man was saying, it only confused you more and you just wanted to get out of there and step into the next train that would take you home.
“Apparently that depends clearly on one’s perspective, as for me, you sound like you yourself just escaped a madhouse as well. I believe you should get some more rest before we continue this conversation.”
He turned around and was about to leave and the panic, that steadily grew in the pit of your stomach, now soaked your entire body.
“No! Please, wait!” you cried and he stopped in his tracks.
“Yes?”
“Could I make a phone call?”
“I guess that can be arranged, yes.” He pulled out a phone from the inside pocket of his blazer and handed it over to you. Before you dialled the first number that came to mind, your best friend’s number to be exact, you looked closer at the phone in question. You never heard of that brand name before and you began to wonder whether all of this was just a bad dream.
You dialled the number of your best friend, but all you heard from the other end was a ‘The number you are calling is unknown.’ and your eyes widened in shock. You looked at the display again, checking if the number was correct and it definitely was, you were sure of it.
“Is something the matter?” the man in front of you enquired but you couldn’t muster your voice to answer him. All you could feel was the pit of panic in your stomach, which was weighing your entire body down. Tears started to well up in your eyes and it took every fibre of your composure to keep them back. After a few moments you closed your eyes and remembered to start breathing again. When you opened your eyes, a bit calmer now, you gave the man in front of you his phone back, not daring to look him in the eyes. He took it and raised a questioning eyebrow at you, though he thought it best to not question you any further.
“Perhaps it would be best if you just told me where you come from. Surely we can arrange passage for you to get back home.” He said with a reassuring look in his eyes. You tried to regulate your breathing again and told him where you lived but the panic in your stomach immediately grew again, as he raised his eyebrows once more, but this time in confusion.
“I’m sorry, but I have never heard of this place, and I do pride myself on my geographical knowledge, but where on Eos is that?” he queried and it was then that you were sure this had to be some kind of bad dream or sick joke.
“Okay, seriously, this is not funny anymore. Just drop this act and let me go home, please!” the tears you held back before now started to roll down your cheeks. You cupped your face with your hands and started sobbing, your desperation now on full display. Your entire body was shaking until you felt reassuring hands on your shoulders.
“I need you to remain calm. I don’t want to canvass you any further, given your mental state right now, but I need to know if you may have been in contact with any Magitek Soldiers before you got here.”
At that word, you immediately looked up and he seemed a bit startled.
“Perhaps they captured you and performed some experiments on your mind and memories?” he enquired further, in hopes of finally getting to solve this problem.
Was this guy for real? He was talking about ‘Magitek soldiers’, fictional beings you knew from ‘Final Fantasy’ and he asked if they ‘captured’ you?
But then it suddenly hit you. Now you remembered where you’ve seen this man before. It was in one of the trailers for ‘Final Fantasy XV’.
“Oh, no, no, no, this can’t be. This is impossible, this must be some sick joke. This isn’t real. It can’t be.” You rambled while stepping away from the man in front of you, your entire body was shaking.
“Do you remember something?” he asked but you didn’t even listen to him anymore.
“Are you telling me I’m trapped in a game? No way! What am I supposed to do now? Wield some daggers and swords around? Run around this world and kill monsters to finish some side quests? When I’m low on health I just use a Potion or an Elixir or cast a quick ‘Cura’ to heal myself? Or when I die I just use a Phoenix Down and everything is okay again? What next? Am I supposed to summon all the famous summons, Shiva, Leviathan, Ifrit, Ramuh and Bahamut? Who’s the big baddie, huh? Where is he? Just let me go to him, finish him off and then I can return home? Hey, while we’re at it: Where is the Cid of this game? Every Final Fantasy has one, so he must be around here somewhere - or maybe it’s you. Is your name Cid, by any chance?” you couldn’t stop yourself from rambling on, the rage and disbelief in you just grew with every word and inwardly you cursed yourself for knowing so much about this stupid franchise, which currently seemed to entrap you. What you didn’t notice was the further you went on your body started to shake more and more, streams of tears still running down your face.
The man’s eyes only widened in something akin to irritation. Considering everything you just said you expected a more meaningful reaction from him.
After a while he pushed his glasses back up his nose before saying “No, my name is not Cid. It’s Ignis, Ignis Scientia, and the fact that you just told me some crucial things about our world you claim not to be from leads me to the suggestion that you haven’t been entirely honest with me.”
The seriousness in his voice startled you, but you still had trouble taking anything of this seriously and the anger inside you kept growing. You were frustrated, angry and all you wanted was to leave this place.
“I suggest you remain from throwing another tantrum so we can discuss this as civilized people and come to a solution beneficial for both of us.” He stated matter-of-factly.
That was it, that was the drop to flood your barrel of anger and frustration.
“Okay, listen up, Specky” you started and pointed your finger directly at him, your voice a low and threatening hiss, “I have no idea how it was possible that I ended up in this world, and I don’t even care anymore, as long as I get out of here, but if, on top of everything else, an aloof, stiff robot like you has the nerve to tell me what I should and shouldn’t do then I’m really not sure how long it will take me before I start throwing something other than a tantrum.”
Unmoved by your threat, he pushed his glasses up his nose once more and said, “Glad to see my plan worked.”
“I beg your pardon?” you retorted, your anger still clearly lacing your voice.
“You stopped crying.”
At that statement, your mouth just fell slightly open, unable to reply anything. With your right hand you wiped away the remains of your tears on your heated cheeks and looked up at him in disbelief. Did he really try to make you angry just so you would stop crying?
“I- I-“, you began to stammer but he gently lifted a hand to silence you.
“It’s alright. You seem quite exhausted. Maybe it would be better if you rested some more. I’m afraid I have other duties awaiting me but I will try and check on you later, as soon as I can.” His tone was gentle now and if you didn’t know any better you’d think there was the ghost of a smile on his face.
Suddenly you felt the emotional storm, which raged inside you, subside and you were painfully aware of the aching in your muscles again.
“I- thank you.” Was all you could manage to say and he nodded reassuringly at you, his eyes now a lot warmer than before.
“Don’t mention it.”
And with that he left the room, looking one more time at you over his shoulder before he closed the door behind him. You sat down on the bed again, a sad smile tugging at your lips. All that was now left for you to do was to fall back and drift off into a, hopefully, peaceful sleep and maybe, just maybe, when you’ll wake, you’ll find yourself on the floor of your living room once more.

Crisis Core Game Director Hajime Tabata departs Square Enix to concentrate on new job
It has actually been announced on November 7, 2018 that Hajime Tabata is departing from his position at Square Enix which consisted of Video game Director of Final Fantasy XV for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox as well as Video game Director of 2007's Crisis Core: Last Fantasy VII for PlayStation Portable (a precious fan favorite), to name a few. The choice was explained to fans in a heartfelt letter exposed during the pre-recorded Last Fantasy XV Second Anniversary Special Program broadcast to fans in Japan with English subtitles.
Although this news is definitely disappointing and has resulted in the cancellation of practically all Last Fantasy XV DLC (yes, there was more in development), it can likewise be easy to understand from particular perspectives. Tabata was a director of dedicated portable games who took the reigns of directing FFXV for Tetsuya Nomura who required to walk away from the task to finish the consistently delayed Kingdom Hearts III project. It does feel saddening to see any type of unfavorable Last Fantasy news in a time where some fans might see the series as delicate, having nearly got in a period of danger.
Hajime Tabata has been dealing with video games given that his very first day out of college and is accountable for a lot of video gaming moments that fans might have delighted in. Earlier during the day we covered the possibility of an FFVII spin-off collection and spoke at length about a Japan-exclusive Mobile game called Prior to Crisis: Final Dream VII. Hajime Tabata was the Video Game Director behind this title in addition to the 2007 PSP hit Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and likewise holds a variety of other credits in the industry consisting of the following:
He is also extensively regarded as being accountable for the Final Fantasy XIV: A World Reborn project in which Square Enix had actually entrusted Tabata with repairing the MMORPG when met massive fan backlash upon its release. It has went on since Tabata's aid to become a success.
According to Tabata, he currently understands what he wishes to do next. It is a special project, and a huge challenge. This requires him to step down from his position after effectively introducing and supporting FFXV for two years and even begin his own business. We deeply thank Tabata for salvaging the Last Dream Versus XIII job announced by Square Enix at E3 2006 which eventually turned into what we now call 2017's Final Fantasy XV. We truly hope he is able to find himself in a position to announce a new video game that the world will love and is an interesting task for him to develop.
In regards to the staying FFXV DLC which was prepared for release, Tabata had this to state:
"As production of Episode Ardyn continues and Luminescent Productions works on brand-new jobs, I felt that it was time for me to turn over the torch to the next generation group of talented and trustworthy coworkers and think that they will create something incredible.
From this day on, I will cheer on and support Square Enix and Luminous Productions together with all you fans.
I wish to thank everyone who continue to support FFXVand those who have actually also supported myself personally."
Square Enix supplied verification detailing the cancellation of Last Fantasy XV The Dawn of the Future, Episode Side Story Aranea "The Beginning of completion", Episode II Lunafreya "The Choice of Liberty", and Episode III Noctis "The Last Strike".
Last Fantasy Episode Ardyn will continue production under Takefumi Terada's instructions with Yuji Shinoda serving as its producer and is anticipated to launch on PS4, Xbox, and PC platforms some time during March 2019.
There's also an animated brief film being produced together with this DLC called Last Fantasy XV Episode Ardyn Beginning which is expected to be provided teaser trailers on December 15, 2018 and January 10, 2019.

Self-Done Best of Tumblr for 2017
(Because I have rather popular text posts and Studio Moh’s tool focuses on images, but I’m using their “find original post” tool, so...)
January - Gamer!Cloud livestream shenanigans, based on @chaoscheebs‘s verse.
February - Let’s Experience the Big Pom. Hell, I liked it so much I went to another KupoCon in Toronto, and it’s probably going to be My Con for a bit. (And I still think that Ray Chase has the patience of a damn saint.)
March - “A Fractured Fairy Tale” for the 7remix Challenge. Remixing Boomchick’s Cadet Series to focus on Sephiroth.
April - Venting into the void.
May - “Fretting a Hour Upon a Stage” Fic of @tenshinokorin‘s version of FFXV lore. Queen Stella Lucis Caelum goes to a play with her children. (There was actually a tie for May; I picked the fic because I want to present the content.)
June - KupoCon Pomtario + Distant Worlds hype. It was great. The only thing I regret is not having been able to go a day earlier to just wander around Toronto.
July - Sewing class hype. I’d wanted to learn how to sew in order to do cosplay for KupoCon, but it fell through. I still want to do FFT!Chemist, but maybe after this year.
August - Help Some Content Creators. The start of something that I’ve tried to keep up as much as I can every month. (And I’m going to update this month’s in light of updates from people.)
September - “Danse Macabre” intensifies. Fic of @destiny-islanders‘s fusion of Hocus Pocus and FFXV. 
October - Offer of help for “I suck at summaries” fic writers. (Which still stands, BTW)
November - Fundraising, Daily Reminders Boosting the fact that people that I know need help. (And still do.)
December - “Oh! Gentlemen!” Fic for @ignis-sassentia through the FFXV Small Secret Santa. My “debut” fic for FFXV (not counting the works in progress at the Kinkmeme)

Who better to embody the heat of August than the Infernian himself? Good thing thermal suits exist in the FFXV universe, otherwise Ignis would’ve cooked right alongside his marshmallow lol. 🔥🔥🔥 Technically this iteration of Ifrit is no longer the version of him that you see in the main game, but I felt the OG Pyreburner’s color scheme fit better with this design than the scourge-infected version, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For me, 2020 has felt like a losing game of Tetris—for every one row of tasks I complete, two more rows pop up and threaten to overwhelm me. If you’ve ordered merch from me the last few months, you probably noticed longer and longer wait times between release date and product shipment, and for that I apologize. Some of it is out of my control, like delays with my manufacturer (as of this writing, July’s merch still hasn’t arrived at my house yet (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻), while some of it is simply a product of burnout. I work a full time day job as an illustrator, so motivating myself to work on merch club or zine art during nights and weekends can be challenging at times.
Which brings me to August’s release. On July 30th, I’m having a minor medical procedure (again) that will involve a few weeks of recuperation time. I’ve been trying so hard to get the Ignis Monthly Merch Club back on a first-of-the-month release schedule, but unfortunately with my upcoming surgery I can't make that happen for August. Therefore, August’s release date will be scheduled for Saturday, August 15th at 1:00pm PST. The good news is that I will actually have all of the merchandise in hand and ready to ship by that date, so the wait time between ordering and receiving items will be quite a bit shorter than previous months.
Other than August’s Merch Club, I have a few other bits of ISEB-related news to share; I finally finished my @lostinwars-zine​ piece and am able to post a preview of it:
Tumblr media
The mods have also kindly granted me permission to write an accompanying story to go with my piece, which will be available in the PDF version of the zine (that is, if my writing muscles haven’t withered too greatly in the last few years >.>). Preorders for the zine are available here: https://lostinwarszine.bigcartel.com
The other bit of news is that I signed up for Extra Life Game Day, a 24-hour gaming event on November 7th to raise money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Since I haven’t played FFXV for more than a few hours this year, I will make up for lost time and attempt to beat the entire game in one sitting over the aforementioned 24-hour period. You can bet I’ll have some donation incentives similar to those that were available during the #AdamvsISEB stream; I’ve also been kicking around the idea of including my 2020 Inktober sketches as rewards. Whatever the case, I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated here as well as on Twitter! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
