    Dream Journal

    I did my masters dissertation on ancient Greek beliefs about dreaming, and I have wanted a dream log on this site for years and kept putting off making one in favour of writing about them in other threads which never really encompassed the full scope of dreams like this can. I'm glad you've made...

    [V7] What are you currently listening to?

    A great cover. Probably one of the greatest covers. Made a beautiful and poignant song even more beautiful and poignant.

    Latest FF Purchase Thread

    That Aerith is excellent! Maybe keep her away from your chairs as they look too nice to damage! May I also ask, what is that Final Fantasy VI item? I can't tell if it is in a game case, a DVD or if it is a book. If it is a version of the game, it is not one that I recognise (and it has extra...

    Final Fantasy XVI "Ambition" trailer; an introduction to the world & the Eikons

    Quite possible. Even within the Final Fantasy franchise, heroes who have dark pasts and end up fighting that philosophical concept of darkness made manifest in a physical form (thus rendered possible to defeat) is a recurring trope. Not too long now to find out, relatively speaking.

    Playstation The Legend of Dragoon

    I too have never played this game. And I know very, very little about it. So this is great news that it is finally within reasonable reach. I'm unlikely to actually play it right now with my backlog and various priorities, but I might have to buy it for the future as £7.99 seems like quite the...

    Final Fantasy X is being turned into a kabuki play

    Here's some new preview footage of the actor playing Yuna (Nakamura Yonekichi V). Here he is performing the sending scene. I said on my OP that I'd anticipated that scene would make it in. Nice to hear the music being adapted to suit it too. So perhaps they'll record the whole thing for...

    TV series you’re currently watching?

    Still The Last of Us, which I think is a fantastic adaptation that is well-cast, not at all too gory (surprisingly not so) and includes some minor deviations that in my opinion do work for the different medium. Three episodes left now. I'm also about 7 episodes into Wednesday now. Enjoying...

    Cover Duhemsounds Final Fantasy covers

    Sorry I'm delayed again. I enjoyed the recent covers! Your FFVII theme keeps the passion and emotion of the original track, with some of your own unique flourishes. I love the turn at 2.20, for example. I like that your Farm Boy is slowed down quite a bit too. It suits the nature of a farmer...

    Your Own Real World Pokemon Team

    Ditto: So it can pretend to be me (with freaky eyes hidden by sunglasses) and go and do things that I don't want to do while I relax on a beach. Or, more likely, to do things on my behalf in the world while I research at home. Squirtle: Because it was my original starter. I have no practical...

    Master Gizamaluke

    I have no doubt. But, poetic connotations aside, a grotto is just a sort of cave, really, whether natural or manmade, and thus still an appropriate word to use to describe what we see. I suspect that the localisation team preferred the word 'grotto' for its alliteration. Gizamaluke's Grotto...

    Imagine if Final Fantasy VII had existed as a movie in the 1980s....

    Because that is exactly what somebody has done, running that idea through advanced AI to create this!: I’ve seen a few things like this pop up on my recommended lately. The Bible reimagined as an 80s dark fantasy movie, and so on. This one, FFVII, is the first I’ve actually clicked on and...

    So is Garland being attacked because he opposes Democracy in Final Fantasy 1?

    If you like the idea of a FInal Fantasy I-based plot that is almost as crazy as you describe, you should play Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. It was released last year and kicked ass and played like sweet CHAOS. FFI was very simple, naturally (being the first game), but even this...

    Cosplay thread

    I always love your cosplays and the effort you put into making them. Was really proud of you when you won that award in 2020(?) too. Didn't get to speak with you much this weekend (besides discussing the logistics of you walking through doors, I guess), but your Chocolina was fantastic! I'm...

    [V2] What are you currently playing?

    Crisis Core: Reunion and Stray. It was my birthday yesterday and my sister etc got me these. I'm enjoying Crisis Core a lot more this time. I wasn't its biggest fan back during the PSP days. I still have a few issues with the lore, and it is overall very clunky compared to the original FFVII...

    Materia In The Real World

    Phoenix summon materia. That is, if it is possible to use him as a flying mount as well as use him to revive me when I inevitably fall off. But having a life-restoring mythical bird on my side would be great. Plus I'd probably use the situation as an excuse to wax lyrical about the mythology...

    YouTube Youtube Rabbit Hole

    I've fallen down so many weird rabbit holes. I don't actually sit down and watch YouTube videos very often, but certain things keep jumping at me like and every now and then I fall victim to weird thumbnails and clickbait titles. One day a few years back I clicked on a recommended video about...

    The Last of US (HBO TV series)

    Hard for me to call it right now, as we're only one episode in. But the gore level is not excessive so far. Inevitably present due to the world and story, but not (yet) overdone. When there is gore, it so far seems to be for a purpose. And there is more that is implied or just out of shot...

    Fun beginner friendly Strategy/Tactics games?

    I would suggest Final Fantasy Tactics or Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions (the remastered version of the former). If you enjoyed Tactics Advance apart from the Laws system, then in the original Tactics that Laws system is not present. So that would be no hindrance at all. It is also a...

    [V7] What are you currently listening to?

    "I'm a man of many wishes I hope my premonition misses" It is a great song. And one that I have for some reason only recently discovered.

    The Last of US (HBO TV series)

    Okay, I watched the first episode tonight and can confirm that it is phenomenal so far. A few changes, but only minor/trivial ones and others that are more expansive and come with the change in medium. The acting is brilliant, and they seem to really embody the characters of the game. It truly...
