Yuriful Week - Day 1: sunset

I am not sure how many days I will achieve, but let's get some women in here!!

[Image Description: Digital artwork of Terra and Celes, shown from the shoulders up. Their backs are to the viewer, but they are turned towards each other so their faces are in profile, eyes closed and leaning in for a kiss. Celes's hand is on Terra's shoulder. They are backlit by brilliant sunset light. /end ID]

1995-1

This issue features Celes! (p208-211)

This issue's cover illustration is Celes with the Rune Blade, Kenpo Gi, and Merit Badge singing an opera(?)

The clear blue sky and abundance of the earth vanished with the rest of the world. That person is gone. I decided to throw away my past and all of my memories But when I did... his voice reached me. "You can't throw away your hope. You can still make all your dreams and desires come true." That's right. I'm marking the end of this dark and cold journey. I'm going to walk a new road now. Until I can see you again (from the cover)

<<Background>>

The development team gives background on Celes

From the very start there were plans to have an Imperial Magitek Knight get close to the party by pretending to be an ally. Using magic takes a lot of mental energy, which rendered her mentally unstable. She'd fall into crying fits or hysterics or the like... Because of that, she had a strong desire for someone she could rely on. That's when she heard kind words from Locke. It was going to be that Celes, who was waiting for her chance to betray everyone, realized she'd lost her heart to Locke, and was now anxious about it.

-- Why does the story in the World of Ruin start with Celes? Development: All 12 party members are the protagonists, so it seemed appropriate. We started with Terra, and her part in the story was becoming too overpowering. Another reason was because we wanted to give Terra a different story in the World of Ruin.

"Official Inquiries of Emperor Sakaguchi of the FF Empire" talks about why Locke hates mushrooms. Locke: "They just smell, all right? That alone is enough to make me want to throw up! I hate how they feel in my mouth." Celes: "Isn't that just because you were scavenging?"

FF6 V-Jump Article Summaries: 1994-9

I don't know what was in the 3-8 issues since the page didn't have entries for them.

1994-9

The "FF Coliseum" from the previous issue begins! This second entry features Terra, and Emperor Hironobu Sakaguchi spills all her secrets (p186-189)

Each cover of this section contains an illustration by Rinko Yano. Also, there's a neat section where readers contribute postcards with illustrations of their favorite characters' private fashions, and selected ones are illustrated by Rinko Yano in the next issue. This issue's illustration shows Terra equipped with the Oath Veil, White Dress, and Greatsword, making her look like she's in a wedding dress.

The previous issue also began a series of FF6 4-panel comics by Masayo Irie. It shows Edgar equipped with the Royal Crown, Genji Armor, Silver Spectacles, and Angel Wings as his Private Fashion.

The fate of myself, the fate of the world, the value of life, and the understanding of joy, sorrow, and anger... Never knowing a father's warmth or a mother's affection is a different sort of curse from being afflicted with the power of magic... There are friends who will protect me. People who I must protect. To my dear friends who helped me to understand these things... Thank you. A long and suffocating breath that was trapped in my heart is now being released. Terra Branford grows from a girl into a woman (from the cover)

<<Background>>

-- Tell us what the impetus was for creating Terra Sakaguchi: We were going to have a half-human, half-esper character from the start. There was a time where she was a slightly older male character.

-- What sort of role does she have in the story? Sakaguchi: She's an extremely passive character in the first half of the game. I wanted to show her maturing as the story progressed. She's at the mercy of the expectations of the people around her, but before long she realizes her own destiny... She's a character who embodies the themes of self-awareness and coming to understand one's self.

-- What are some changes that were made during development that didn't make it to release? Sakaguchi: We originally had plans for Terra to disappear along with the espers when magic disappeared from the world. But then we didn't think it was good for her to have just attained self-awareness as a human and then disappear, so it turned into her just losing her magic and remaining in this world. That's the Terra we have now.

-- What equipment and accessories do you recommend? Sakaguchi: Since Terra can use both swords and magic, you want to think about balance. If you want to use her as a fighter, then give her something like the Genji Glove or Muscle Belt. To make the best use of her magic, then probably Gold Hairpin or Soul of Thamasa. You might not know, but she learns Ultima on her own at level 99.

Sakaguchi-san's favorite character is Cyan. He likes the contrast between a samurai's masculinity and Cyan's oafishness.

Happy Father's Day 2026 in honour of all the Dads in Escaflowne! I created these images using official art / screenshots from the anime along with my original edits in Picmix. Who is your favourite father in Escaflowne? I like King Goau Fanel and Duke Mahad because they're both very loving towards their wives and sons - even if it's rather complicated in Duke Mahad's case!
