    FINAL FANTASY 30th Anniversary: 自立

    First: Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅❄️

    The Final Fantasy series turned 30 last week, and earlier this month I flew to Toronto to attend the Distant Worlds concert! I was originally supposed to go to the Chicago show in the fall, but I spent too much money in New York this summer and had to cancel. Fortunately my friend and I were still able to find tickets to this show.

    There are a lot of games in this series that I haven’t played (basically anything that isn’t IV, X, XII, or XV lol…), and since I’m sipping the Final Fantasy Kool-Aid again, I really want to play those classics. Luckily for me, Steam has all of them on sale for 50% off! I’ll keep y’all posted on how that goes, lmao. (more…)

    There are a lot of unfinished games on my backlog, but for the past two weeks I have been spending my time getting emotional over games that I’ve never even played. Allow me to elaborate:

    One night I made the fatal mistake of going on a Wikipedia Adventure™ for Final Fantasy XIII/XIII-2 because I heard that they were making yet another game in the series. It’s like, what went wrong in this game that they couldn’t resolve in the sequel, right? The story itself is very convoluted and irritating, and the most I got out of it was that Etro deserves one of those “you tried but please stop” gold star stickers. Still, XIII-2 was a complete mystery to me. I didn’t know how to pronounce l’Cie (apparently it’s [lə’siː] and not [ɛl’si]), and I was tired of reading about these games online, so I thought it would be best if quit this late-night madness and watch the ending on YouTube. Did I expect to get taken to a dreamworld of tragic? NOPE
