@lastaim and I attended A New World FF concert for the first time and we LOVED IT. It starts of with FFXV world theme. It’s definitely more intimate than Distant Worlds and the tracks chosen are music barely or never hear in Distant Worlds. Multiple songs were played from selected FF games, esp from FFX, FFXIV, and FF7 remake. The conductor himself sang “Make my Wish Come True” from FFXIII.

Masashi Hamauzu was there too! Another legend in FF music along with Nobuo Uematsu

“Fight with Seymour” string quartet version slayed us! 😭♥️♥️ Along with Cello and Guitar duet of Troia. We cried at just the basic “TOWN” song from FF1. Too many to name, the concert was just too short, about and hour and 20mins. Definitely need to go again for sure in the future. The conductor is full of surprises~

FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 (2011)

It always breaks my heart how Noel literally knows nothing. This guy comes from a place where there is nothing but misery. He literally says to Snow when he asks him where he comes from: "A place that doesn't have much in the way of fun or civilization."

but at the same time, I can't control myself not to laugh every time he sees/hears something new for him and he’s just like: woahhhh ☉_☉

and all I can think about is seeing Noel go to the theme park with Serah, Snow and Hope and they’ll all be excited to make him try all the rides.

Ahh those tags under my post is exactly what I want:

I WANT HIM JUST HAVING FUN LIKE THIS OKAY!!

[etrosgate]

fun fact, many members of ffxiii's main cast (that have a pre-existing relationship from before the start of the game) have matching accessories!

serah and snow split a cat-themed earring+necklace set (in addition to the engagement necklaces)

serah and lightning have matching armbands

and vanille and fang share bracelets

On the remarkably consistent childhood friends to lovers romantic trope in the Final Fantasy series

Following my playthrough for FF7 Rebirth, I have been thinking about romantic tropes in the FF series more broadly. The stories that have romantic relationships that develop between the main cast (or at least guest party members) seem to all follow the childhood friends (or, at least, childhood/family connections) to lovers trope. Just wanted to list the examples I can think of that follow this paradigm. (Disclaimer, I have never completed FF6, so cannot speak to that game).

FF3: Ingus and Sara grow up together in Sasune castle, and become a couple at the end, with Ingus declaring that he will follow her anywhere and stay by her side. This is the well-known trope of the knight and princess falling in love.

FF4: Cecil and Rosa grow up together along with Kain, with whom they are in a love triangle. Kain sort of runs off in the end because he can't deal with the other two being together at the story's end.

FF7: I know, it's really the only debatable one due to the narrative and affection mechanics of the OG, but the plot clearly shows that Cloud and Tifa have harbored romantic feelings since childhood, and they are obviously a couple raising a family together in AC and DoC. ToTP and OTWTAS delve further into their feelings, but are really just the devs clearing up things they did/could not get into in the OG. The remake trilogy adds more depth to the relationship as well, since Square couldn't really use tone of voice or body language in the OG to express the clear romantic chemistry and tension between them in the first two trilogy entries. In fact, it is so obvious that other characters and party members actively bring it up (Marle, Johnny, Yuffie, Barrett, even Aerith at times).

FF8: This one is a childhood/family connection one, as Squall and Rinoa's parents had a unresolved love story. It's a bit of stretch, I know, but it does loosely fit in with the other couples' arcs.

FF10: Similar to FF8, this one involves Tidus and Yuna having a connection through their fathers' having been comrades during Yuna's father's pilgrimage 10 years prior to the main story. Yuna even goes so far as to state that it must be fate that brought them together, during their voyage from Besaid to Kilika. It is worth noting that this one is a two-fer, since Wakka and Lulu are also childhood friends who become lovers, especially if you incorporate the 10-2 subplot in which Lulu is literally pregnant with Wakka's child.

FF12: This one only hints at two childhood-friends-to-lovers couples. Basch and Ashe have history as it seems he was a knight in the Dalmascan military when they were both younger, and their history is hinted at rather than directly addressed as in other games. It is suggested that they may develop romantic feelings some time after the main story ends, but are both bound by duty to be apart. Vaan and Penelo fit the childhood friends to lovers trope much better, but their relationship is only ever implied: Balthier constantly teases Vaan about Penelo by calling her "your girl" multiple times (which Vaan never refutes), and the final scene of the game is literally Vaan returning to her as he says "I'm coming Penelo".

FF13: Snow and Serah are the childhood friends to lovers couple here, and they do end up together in the end if you ignore the two sequel storylines.

FF15: Noctis and Luna start off as childhood friends destined to have an arranged marriage, but they develop strong romantic feelings for each other despite being apart for several years (yet again, by tragedies befalling their families/homes), and are reunited in their love both in adulthood and in the afterlife.

FF16: This one is another two-fer, with the obvious pairing of Clive and Jill growing up together and having romantic feelings as children, then being forced apart due to tragic circumstances (anyone sensing a theme here?), only to be reunited and fall in love as adults. This one mirrors FF7 quite a bit, complete with the memory loss narrative elements where Clive and Cloud both forget about the key roles they played in their respective childhood tragedies, only to rediscover the truth while on a journey of self-discovery where they battle with their own subconscious to rediscover their true pasts, with their childhood love interests at their sides. As a bonus, Jill also goes through her own journey of self-discovery at Drake's Breath with Clive at her side, much like Tifa does together with Cloud in the Lifestream. The less prominent pairing is Dion and Terence, who mirror the FF3 arc of Ingus and Sara, with the knight and prince (rather than princess, bold move SE) declaring their mutual love by story's end.

Please let me know if I missed/misrepresented anything, and I hope you find this remarkable consistency in the childhood-friends-to-lovers trope in the FF series as interesting as I do.

Why I still recommend Final Fantasy 13

As we all know FF13 was the black sheep of the Final Fantasy games. It had a different fighting system and was strangely more linear than its previously better-known games. However, this was more of the gamer's issue as when FFX and FFX-2 came out a lot of people said there were too many missable items and didn't like having to search everywhere for items or hidden scenes.

Years later Square Enix responded made FF13, and what were the gamer's responses. "We don't like it"

Now with FF games like 15 and 16 which are open-world people praise both for their own styles and stories. I'll be honest 15 was okay, the fact though that DLC kept coming out for the game and the story was lacking a bit for some of the characters, made me kinda miss the simpler ones. Now as for 16, I have not played it yet but I will differ from those who have that opinion.

As for FF14 which is an mmo its far different from the others but you get the opportunity to play with friends and actually go at your own pace.

But with all the games that have come out of the Final Fantasy franchise, I can say that everyone in the FF13 trilogy I remember and they have good characters. which I wanna talk a little bit about. (FYI this is where the spoilers now will appear. you've been warned. Also Very long Post just fyi)

Let's start off with of course the Queen

Lightning aka Claire Farron. A Cocoon soldier who stays distant and strong for her sister after losing their parents, after years of becoming strong to protect her only family. She faces losing her sister Serah to become an eternal crystal or the insidious cieth. After everything she faces, they save Cocoon. She only had a moment with everyone and realized that she and Serah could have a chance at actual peace. She gets taken away from the dream to save a goddess and forced into the duty of a protector. And even after that, she stays strong, guiding Serah along the way to help her fight Caius even though everyone thinks she is dead.

But then Etro dies and she fails in her mission, overtaken with grief by not only the goddess dying and failing...her sister. The only person in her life that kept her from losing all of her hope. Dies. Everything she did in the first game...gone. And then after sleeping for 500 years she's given the chance by God to save Serah and the World. A sort of redemption if you think about it.

Snow falls kinda under the same category but from a small different point of view. Snow was deeply in love with Serah and in the first game was trying to save her and Cocoon as well. Even though Etro caused Lightning to disappear he still tries to hold the fort and he got to have his peace with her afterward. But sadly he only gets to have that life for a year before FF13-2 starts, the love of his life goes on a mission he cant join. All the while he does his damn hardest to help Fnag and Vanille's pillar holding up Cocoon. And in doing so, willingly takes on the I'cie curse even after getting his brand removed in the first game. Once again everything in the first game almost not worth it (This is a reoccuring theme.), if not for Serah coming back. But then she dies and he can't fix, and he couldn't be there for her. His promise to be her hero is shattered. For 500 years he cares for the people and everyday misses Serah, blaming himself everyday for what happened and not keeping her safe. HE is basically the prime example of a suffering hero.

Hope is kinda the odd one out, he is only a child, in the wrong place wrong time situation with his mother and him being brought into the Bodium purge. He loses his mother and goes on a verge to get revenge on Snow who he held responsible. But in a short amount of time when he stays with Lightning he learns from her that his innocent world is over, he is a fugitive, a I'cie and alone. But after she tells him about her past and facing the worst that life can offer, you grow from it. He even goes from taking up the rear to guarding her in the front, his fear fades throughout the entire game and he learns to grow up to be a fine young man in FF13-2. He even makes a new world for humanity in case Cocoon were to fall. He was their Hope, their hope for a world rid of monsters.

But in LR, we see that he has disappeared possibly having been kidnapped, remolded / torture back into young hope and made to spy on Lightning to fulfill her Savior duties. And can't speak his true thoughts, he is a fake. Even Lightning realizes though that the next world needs him, he even sees his parents who were long since dead he realizes that he gets the chance to have a proper life, Hope is the Symbol for all to have Hope and to Believe.

Sazh suffers from the possibility of outliving his son. He is a widow and the only family left for him is his son who is quite young, and unfortunately at a young age his son is branded by the I'cie. Dajh basically only has a short time to be a child, until he either turns to crystal or a monster. Sazh loses him after being taken and fights to save him, but all the while he slowly loses his faith. He lost his wife and now his son, every moment he questions what they are doing. Only the prospect of saving Dajh keeps him going as well as his Chocobo chick. After saving Dajh though they get to live a normal life until the end of FF-13-2

For almost 500 years Dajh is in a coma like state and Sazh once again loses his faith thinking the only way Dajh can be saved is by doing it himself. When Lightning comes around though and helps reawaken Dajh, well so does Sazh. He regains his faith and even comes to the final moment of the game with everyone ready to welcome the new world with his son. He's the family man, kinda similar to Barret from FF7. But he is also the representation of a man going down the harder path to help those he loves.

Fang and Vanille fall under the same issue, Born to Gran Pulse and lived and had to sleep in immortal crystal to awake and find their home in ruins. The life they lived all gone and the only thing left of who they were is each other. Fang even takes on the torture to awaken Ragnarök. Doomed to bring about the end of Cocoon. But then their fate is changed and they were able to save instead of destroy.

In FF13-2 they are able to help Serah in her mission but they knew what she might have to face and with LR, they were torn about by both a sense of duty and a want to protect the other. Lightning finds out that they each wanted to help the other, however Vanille want for redemption at the cost of her own life to save the lost dead souls, thats what splits Fang away because she refuses to lose Vanille.

They can represent both family and lovers. One will not go on without the other, no matter what.

And now for the princess, (not literally) but still i love Serah. Anyhow, Serah is the embodiment of Love, Faith and Hope. She goes through everything, turned into an enemy of Cocoon, turned into crystal, given the gift and/or curse of Etro, lost her fiancé to time travel for a bit, dies, has her soul taken out of Lightning where she was safe and then used as a bargaining chip by God to make Lightning keep to her role. But through everything, she still believed her sister and fiancé would save her, that she would be able to live her own life and teach children.

This girl fought and stepped up to every challenge but unlike lightning she shows her emotions, all the pain of failure and loss is understanding and that makes her into a connection for the player.

Okay so for times sake Im putting these three in one group since their stories are enveloped all together.

They are the last humans of a future timeline where the events of ff13 did not go well, Noel is basically the last human that ever existed and under Caius teaching and wing both of them protect Yeul who is a priestess of Etro forced to live again and again only to die after seeing the last of her visions into the future. Caius who knows some of the past Yeuls loved him, the last one loves Noel and he tries everything to save her. So whats his plan. Oh yeah, kill the goddess Etro to stop all natural death and the visions. Hence stopping Yeul from dying.

Noel guided by Lightning has to aid Serah to stop Caius and save the Future. After everything though, he fails by killing Caius not realizing that with his death he actually killed Etro (long story) watches Yeul die and Serah die. and after all of that is forced to watch the world and timeline for 500 years fall and crumble into a shell of the former grandeur that it was.

Yeul after dying, helps Lighting but in her now spirit like self she reveals a terrible truth that while Caius is alive no good will come. But while the Yeul we know wants Caius dead. (along with hundreds of other past selves.) Some of them also want Caius to live causing him to never truly die. To quote Caius "Even if one Yeul desires my salvation, another demands my rebirth."

Yeul is the symbol of mourning and regret but also wisdom in knowing that not all things will be bad, and that good things do eventually happen.

Caius is the symbol of inability to accept what happens and the cruelty of death. His immortality while at first would seem like a gift is a curse, he watching all those he love die and when the chance to die comes, it fails. He is stuck in an infinite life that is now out of his control.

Noel is the symbol of failure but also standing back up taking the next steps forward. After everything, with just the promise of seeing the person he loves again, even if only one more time. Gives him the strength to move on.

-

So if any of you can identify with even one of these characters I highly recommend you play the game. Trust me, me writing all of this down doesn't do the games justice. Its a lovely styled game that after some time you will get used to and its really not that hard of gameplay, watch a few videos and you will get the hang of it.

So anyways im not sure if i convinced any of you but enjoy your days and i send you off with a smiling lighting because its so rare and you all deserve one.

[akimojo]

do you think we will ever see the ffxiii cast in kingdomhearts... sometimes wish nomura wasnt so biased with his picks, sora could really benefit from meeting vanille after she works through her stuff, or hell serah meeting kairi

UUUUGGGHHHH i think about that so so much oh my god i've wanted it to happen since i first played kh2

i've probably mentioned it a million times by now but there is soooooo much potential for all the characters to interact with each other 😭

one i've been thinking about a lot is strelitzia and lightning just because of how similar she can be to marluxia. rose-themed older sibling with pink hair?? it's killing me dude!!!!!!!!!!!! and strelitzia would probably remind lightning of serah oouughh

i also really need to see hope and riku cringe together over their 14-15 year old selves, make it happen nomura

key themes of ffxiii-2; as introduced in serah's teacher & children prologue chapters

ffxiii-2 (and the whole trilogy) centers the relationship between serah and her sister (mother) lightning. serah's adoption of the role of teacher is directly related to lightning's tutelage and raising of her, and doing so both honors her and pays forward the favor as serah exercises a maternal role herself. serah's establishment of a school and job as a teacher are also tied to education and free-thinking as pillars of uncomplacency and antifascism, continuing lightning's efforts in the prior game.

2. with the elevation of serah into a main character ffxiii-2 makes clear this journey is also about serah asserting her independence, thinking for herself, and second-guessing lightning's blind advice, as every daughter is bound to do in her lifetime.

3. time heals but doesn't have to forgive, and the grief of losing a mother is forever. serah is not the only one who recognizes this. in recognizing and validating serah's irreplaceable loss, and understanding they'll never be a complete family without lightning, snow remains an ideal feminist partner.

[snvxiii]

My art summary for 2023! This is the first time I've drawn enough to actually kind-of sort-of fill one. It was very XIII-themed year for me. Unfortunately, I suffered a back injury last week, so I couldn't finish a XIII piece for December. But I did draw a cute stuffed dog, so I think it's okay.

XIII is my favorite game, Snow and Serah are my favorite characters, and I'm glad my love for the series revitalized my art. I didn't think, almost fourteen years later, I'd be hooked onto this series again.

Anyways, thank you to everyone who supported me! I see you and you all rock ⭐ Here's to 2024 and another year of me being Normal about this game.

Additional rambling:

Favorites: My personal favorite pieces... otherwise, known as an excuse to plug more of my art. I drew so many works in May... It was hard to pick.

In progress: WIPs I'm currently working on/planning to finish (hopefully). Hoping to finish the Hope/Noel piece in January, when my back has fully healed.

Breakthrough: The three works I think really pushed me to improve. My main goals this year was to improve on composition, color, clothing, and anatomy... so, basically everything except backgrounds LOL.

[flamesofrebirths]

song challenge.

share at least 5 songs that you associate with or remind you of your muse.

Away - Final Fantasy XVI OST (This is considered as Joshua's "Theme" in the game, and I just love this song so damn much! The entire soundtrack is amazing, but this one will always feel a bit more special to me because it's his song haha :3)

I See Fire - Ed Sheeran (Well, Joshua is the Dominant of the Phoenix so of course this song resonates with him! I feel like it can be a lot related to the events of the Night of Flames, but also to the way the Phoenix is considered by the people in general and especially by the people of Rosaria.)

it's time to go - Taylor Swift (This is pretty much how I see Joshua's relationship to the Undying. At first he was grateful, but the more he saw the real world during his journey, the more he realizes they messed him up in some ways, so he's distancing himself for them.)

Million Years Ago - Adele (This song can be related to Joshua in a way that his duties were thrown to his face very early in his life, and it never stopped until he reunited with Clive. He's nostalgic about these moments he could spend with his family in Rosalith before the Night of Flames. He already felt pressured back then, but not that much!)

Stand By Me - Florence + The Machine (I know this is a FFXV song but to me it suits Joshua so much too! I feel like he really finds his strength through his love for his loved ones. There really is a shift in his personality when he reunites with Clive and Jill and starts meeting the Hideaway crew, and I think this is very beautiful!)

Me, rating the main* XIII and XIII cast names:

⭐️ - Great.

✅ - Okay.

❌ - Dislike.

*defined as either the protagonists or otherwise characters significant to the plot of the series as a whole.

—

Lightning

⭐️ Reasoning for her chosen name is funny when you consider she chose it as a teenager. Cringe queen.

⭐️ Two syllable name that’s easy to say.

✅ Combos well with her last name. Lightning Thunder. Also kind of funny.

✅ Can be shortened to Light as a nickname, thankfully.

✅ Thankfully was not named this by her parents… sort of.

❌ Too many letters. Makes misspelling it easy in tags.

Total score: Yeah, it’s okay.

—

Snow

⭐️ Four letter name. Short and easy to spell.

⭐️ Single syllable.

⭐️ It is soft, like him. When frozen, it is hard like his abs. Very clear symbolism.

✅ Kind of silly name for a silly man. Honestly, would not want it to be changed.

❌ This is a name you’d give your pet, not your child.

❌ Very un-intimidating. Imagine meeting the Patron and his name is… Snow. And he’s 6’ 7” and depressed.

❌ Last name is hard to spell. I’ve misspelled it four times and it embarrassed me. I’m making him change his last name to Farron when he marries Serah.

Total score: Whoever named you just looked outside the window when it was snowing, didn’t they?

—

Hope

⭐️ Four letter name.

⭐️ Single syllable.

✅ Hope becoming the symbol of hope is cool I guess, but comes off as a little heavy handed.

❌ Honestly, kind of confusing when characters say ‘hope’ with the lowercase ‘h.’

Total score: Nora named him and thank god for that. Bartholospew would’ve named him something pretentious and hard to spell, I bet.

—

Vanille

⭐️ Fun to say and pretty spelling.

⭐️ Two syllable.

⭐️ You can make lesbean puns—‘cause get it? Vanilla is a bean? And Vanille is an alt spelling of Vanilla? And Vanille is a lesbian? And—

✅ Despite being 7 letters, it gets a pass. I’ve never misspelled it.

❌ The idea that someone would name their child Vanilla… Again, that is what you’d name an animal, not a person.

Total score: ‘Vanilla Lesbean’ deserves to take off. It’s a good pun, I swear.

—

Sazh

⭐️ Doesn’t seem to be a real name, but I feel like it works really well.

⭐️ Feels amazing to say.

⭐️ Four letter.

⭐️ Single syllable.

⭐️ Incorporates the very rare letter ‘z.’ Very memorable to me, as a result.

✅ Rhymes with jazz. I like to think Dajh’s is taken from ‘adagio’ — to keep with the musical theme. Just wish they’d take the music theming further. Like, is his hobby playing the sax? Is his favorite genre jazz? Give me more on this man!!!

❌ I created an annoying coworker who says “Why so sassy, Sazh-y?” to him way, way too much when he’s even a little snarky; which, of course, aggravates him.

❌ He’d be too easy to name-search online by nosy people and weirdos. Sometimes, having a unique name isn’t all that great…

Total score: Katzroy… Sazh is a cool cat… Oh my god. The cat imagery is everywhere.

—

Fang

⭐️ Four letter.

⭐️ Single syllable.

⭐️ A cool name for a cool lady… Whoever named her got lucky she ended up becoming a hunter and not, like, a dentist (which would also be fitting, but in a bad way.)

✅ Not very exciting, but straightforward about who she is I guess.

❌ Another name you’d give to an animal. Or a wolf OC. A very cool wolf OC.

❌ Personally, I would not want to be named after a bone, especially a tooth.

Total score: Could be better.

—

Serah

⭐️ Name meaning ‘princess,’ which is so fitting given how she has two ‘knights’ (and one, literally, becomes a knight.)

⭐️ One letter off from ‘seraph.’ She’s an actual angel, so this fits.

⭐️ Unconventional spelling of a common name. I like how the ‘e’ elevates it—makes it more elegant and tied it together.

⭐️🎉 5 letter names are perfect.

⭐️ Two syllable.

⭐️ Laura Bailey.

✅ When you think about it, if not for the spelling, she’s kind of an oddball for having such a normal, common name.

❌ Serah’s actually perfect. There’s nothing to see here.

Total score: I’m going to marry her.

—

Noel

⭐️ Four letter.

⭐️ Single syllable.

⭐️ I like how it’s pronounced. I think the common pronunciation is ‘no-elle.’ It’s cute and the superior way of saying it.

✅ Him being a ‘savior’ of humanity like a certain biblical figure is cool I guess. Considering how it all turned out though…

❌ All the Christmas puns… eugh. And the Christ = Kreiss thing? I think I’d get sick of it.

❌ Me and my sib actually argued over how it’s pronounced and they called me dumb. Well, I have over 80 hours of proof, so suck it!!!

Total score: God, there are so many four letter, single syllable names in this game.

—

Yeul

⭐️ Four letter.

⭐️ Single syllable.

⭐️ Love the spelling. Very pretty.

⭐️ Rare letter name starting with ‘y.’ ‘Y’ names are very pretty and elegant to me, I think.

⭐️ Soft-sounding name for a soft-speaking girl.

✅ Rhymes with ‘mule.’ Mules are actually cool, so only kind of unfortunate.

❌ Christmas puns and way too match-y with Noel.

Total score: I want to eat a roll cake.

—

Caius

✅ 5 letter.

✅ Two syllable.

✅ Cool, but slightly edgy combination of letters and pronunciation. Fitting for a dude dressed in purple and voiced by Liam O’Brien.

✅ Liam O’Brien.

❌ Stabbed Serah, which is why he gets no stars.

Total score: I don’t hate him, I just don’t forgive him for stabbing my wife.

—

Lumina

⭐️ Six letter.

⭐️ A pleasant-sounding three syllable name.

⭐️ Very pretty.

⭐️ Lumina meaning ‘lights’ and her being a container for both Lightning and Serah… whew. They got me on this one.

✅ Actually funny to imagine if Serah was like, “What if we named our daughter ‘Lumina?’” and Snow immediately vetoes it LMAO. Gets a checkmark, because this name is just ruined for him.

❌ I’m actually kind of mad I can’t use this for my fankid SMH. Damn it, Lumina… could you have trolled Snow a little less.

Total score: Just a dang good name.
