it’s always the dark, brooding characters with a tragic past but actually has a warm and kind nature within them bordering around the hard edges of their dark demeanor and loneliness.

I certainly have a type and thing for bad boys in short. Oh wow, most of them are dark haired characters. Adds to the charm, I guess? lmfao

Tetsuya Nomura is so much stronger of a person than I am because if I was a key role in multiple of company's biggest games and then they just took my OCs away and gave them to someone else I would bring upon armageddon and absolutely not wait like 10 years to drop a bunch of other characters who are very similar and recreate the original trailers out of spite

sometimes i like to imagine quadratum having a news station that reports on sora fighting heartless around the city and he becomes this household hero because more than anything I just want at least one world in the series to acknowledge the poor boy's solo efforts

SRNHNR Extra 1 - Unseen Realm and Night Final World

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Extra 2

"When the twilight of the gods at last descends upon this world, what emerges from the unseeable expanse beyond that Door will be but music, and that devoid of words: the lamentations of the Goddess Etro, as She sobs Her song of grief."

"Somnus" - Etro's song about sleeping Bhunivelze might be the "lamentations" described in FF13's Analect.

On FF15's main screen plays instrumental version of "Somnus," which is "devoid of words," as violin replaces the voice from version with lyrics.

While in FF15 main screen symbolises night to which Noctis has to bring dawn, in VS13 a similar main screen might've meant entering Unseen Realm.

In a way in KH "Somnus" appears 2 times:

KH3 secret ending which has its first accords.

Track which plays when Sora wakes up in Night Final World has "singing," or humming to be presize.

If the author isn't mistaken, track from Night Final World is one of a very few soundtracks from KH, which have any sort of voice in them.

That doesn't include Utada Hikaru's OPs and EDs, Disney and TWEWY's featured songs.

Few others namely being track from Verum Rex commercial, Mising Link's version of "Dearly Beloved" and possibly KH3 Data Fight arragement of YMX's theme.

Fabula Nova Crystallis: The Mythology

I was trying to dig this video up to show a friend and it occurred to me that holy shit, it's become almost impossible to find this video that Square Enix only showed once at a conference in January 2011, and we're lacking in a proper English translation for it.

So I'm going to put it here for archival purposes and hope tumblr doesn't take it down, along with a translated transcript. I'll be working off Lissar's and FFWorld's translations of the video, using the canon names for the various entities (yes I know "soul" is technically a mistranslation of 心 heart but it is the canon one so hush).

Since I had extra time on my hands, I also put it up on Vimeo with subtitles on. I can provide the srt file (the syncing isn't super tight but since there's a lot of blank space around each line I decided to leave each subtitle for longer than necessary), if anyone's willing to work on translations, you can DM me.

The full transcript is under the cut:

Fabula Nova Crystallis, the new tale of the crystal

Once upon a time, the god Bhunivelze ruled the world. Bhunivelze defeated his mother, the goddess Mwynn, and took control of the world for himself. Mwynn disappeared into the unseen realm.

Bhunivelze was troubled: the world he now ruled over was destined to die. He believed this was a curse laid on the world by his mother Mwynn. He knew he had to destroy her to lift the curse. To do this, he set out to search for the door to the unseen realm where his mother waited. Using his will alone, he created the first fal’Cie.

First, he created the fal’Cie Pulse. The Focus he gave him was to clear out the world, and search for the door to Mwynn.

Next, he created the fal’Cie Etro. But it was a mistake. Unknowingly, he created her exactly in the image of Mwynn. Bhunivelze feared her, and gave Etro no power of her own.

Instead, he created the fal’Cie Lindzei. The Focus he gave him was to protect Bhunivelze from all who might seek to destroy him. Bhunivelze gave Lindzei one special duty. To wake him once the time came. Then he turned to crystal, and fell into an endless sleep.

Pulse wished to expand the world, so he created many fal’Cie and l’Cie.

Lindzei wished to protect the world, so he created many fal’Cie and l’Cie.

But Etro was powerless, and could make nothing of her own. Lonely, she thought of her mother, who she so resembled. Etro tore her own body apart, letting her blood flow to the earth, and disappeared from the visible world. From that blood, torn from her body, sprang humankind. Creatures that were born only to die.

The destruction of the visible world was no curse, only fate. The world was divided into two halves, the visible and the invisible. If the balance between these two were destroyed, the world itself would be destroyed.

The goddess Mwynn could do nothing to stop this fate. She was being swallowed into the chaos of the unseen realm. Just before her last moment, Etro came to her side. Mwynn told Etro that she must protect the balance of the world, before slipping into the chaos forever. But Etro was ignorant of the meaning behind Mwynn’s words.

Etro was lonely, but she felt affection for those humans who live only to die. As they died, she smiled, and gave them chaos. The chaos Etro gave them, the humans named “souls”. Their hearts would become their power, but the humans did not yet know this.

Soon, they called Pulse the all powerful ruler. Lindzei they named their protector, and Etro they named their goddess of death. The humans lived on the world, hold chaos inside their hearts. Because they held chaos so close, the world once again was in balance.

And Bhunivelze still sleeps in crystal stasis. Until the end of days, awaiting the right time.
