bless u for going through my entire liar game tag and giving me so many tag comments to enjoy in a nearly dead fandom

Haha you're more than welcome, I've been binge reading the entire manga in a week and boy I am obsessed, now I'm just so starved for content for this fandom (even though it's kinda dead) ! So thank you for giving me content !

[retrotyranitar]

hello I just had to make a terranigma-related post because of something I saw while at work yesterday, and just. have to tell you that I think of Silverstein's "Forgotten Language" poem and your tags whenever I've thought of terranigma the past seven (HOLY SHIT WHAT) years since coming across and reblogging that post of yours. THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT along with your tags. have a nice day!!

oh wow i just had to scroll super far back in my terranigma tag to find the post you were talking about i had almost forgotten about that. terranigma is one the the most memorable and unique games i have ever played and im glad others feel the same about it too despite its incredibly tiny fanbase. please talk more to me about terranigma i dont know a single person whos ever even heard of it lmao

torn between “should ditch masao for a darling with better survival skills to take care of me in case of zombie apocalypse” and “IF THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE HAPPENS I WILL RUSH TO YOUR SIDE AND KEEP YOU ALIVE WITH MY LOVE” except then I remembered I have no survival skills either

you know if you’re smart you’d abandon me to my fate across the atlantic ocean!!

and if the internet dies, there’s no way to prove either of us didn’t survive 👀

besides I’m sure we’re both more resourceful than we’re assuming

maple, orchard

maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did? 

Answered before, but I’ll just name another one.

I wish I had put some serious effort into learning Japanese when I was younger. The grammar really just scared me off, and I just didn’t want to deal with the struggle. But now that I’m learning Norwegian, I can see once you learn the grammar rules and understand it, learning another language isn’t so bad. Maybe when I have time I’ll seriously try again, but there’s the whole writing/reading aspect that’s extra hard since it’s not phonetically based…

orchard - share one thing that you’d like to happen this autumn.

Another thing I’d like to happen is a bit lame, lol but I’d like to finish a game. I haven’t touched anything since I took a break from Sekiro, and then my wrist got hurt, so I really just miss it. I want my damn wrist to fully heal so I can use my thumb, and then finish either Persona 2 or Sekiro.

I LOVE IT MASAOOOOO aaah looking forward to seeing you draw more clothes and colouring them *-*

(ᅌᴗᅌ* ) !!!

Thank you! And yes, me too. There’s a bunch of screen shots I want to use as reference and I’ll probably do more coloring for practice.

12, 17, 43, 50, 52, 53, 54 for the FF meme! Split things up or skip stuff if needed, but I'm genuinely curious hehe. Love Larissa meme answers!!

💗💗💗 and i love your questions. thanks for sending so many!

12. Best looking male?

oh god, i have no idea. when i was a teenager there were several characters i would have immediately said, but add ten years and all i have for you is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ laguna, maybe? or squall.

17. Which game was the saddest? 

my gut instinct is ffx, but the game as a whole isn’t sad, it’s more that death is a pervasive theme – and death causes a lot of complex emotions.

so i think i have to go with type-0. it’s another game filled with death, but it’s tied in with loss, and what’s left behind when you lose people in a world where you can’t remember the dead. the entire last chapter was a clusterfuck that made literally no sense, but i still bawled my eyes out at the ending. overall it’s a very bleak game.

43. What is your favorite weapon? 

oh my god there’s no way i can answer this………………………

you know what, i’m gonna pick some highlights from various games. skipping I-V because it’s been 10 years since i played any of them.

vi: edgar’s chainsaw, because seriously, what the fuck is ff6 even on. i love all of edgar’s tools. why does he have these.

vii: cid’s ultimate spear, venus gospel. awesome name and great design. i rarely use it since it has zero ap growth, but whenever i can use it, damn. i love all of ff7′s weapons, as it happens – i’ve spent more time with them than any other game. i love how they all have unique designs, even the joke ones like the nail bat.

viii: squall’s lion heart. i mean, come on, it looks awesome, and gunblades are cool as shit. ff8′s weapon system is wildly different than the other games, but i really like it. sure, i never figured out how to upgrade weapons on my first few playthroughs (where do i find screws?) but it’s innovative and really neat.

ix: tie between quina’s silver fork and steiner’s excalibur ii. the fork because everything about quina is amazing all the way through their weapons, and the sword because what the fuck, why the hell is it even in the game. what the fuck.

x: tie between yuna’s staff and lulu’s dolls. yuna’s basic staff is my favorite – it’s simple, but it’s beautiful. seriously, everything about her design is perfect in my eyes. as for lulu: i just can’t get over it. i didn’t even know the dolls ran out until i hit attack by accident like 15 hours into the game. everything about them is great.

xii: god i could pick like half the weapons in the game. i got every single weapon save the rng ones in my tza playthrough. i’m gonna say the tournesol because it took forever to make but was genuinely worth it when all was said and done.

xiii: lightning’s hauteclaire, which actually isn’t that good, but it’s my favorite name of any weapon, and it has a great color scheme.

xiii-2: serah’s default bowblade, starseeker. the whole concept of a bowblade is awesome, even if mog turning into it is pretty silly. also an honorable mention to lightning’s gunblade, overture.

lr: I COULD PICK SO MANY. god this game had so many awesome weapons. my favorite aesthetically is lightning’s default sword, crimson blitz, but in terms of actually using them, my favorites are the flesh render (drop from the last reaver), caius’s sword (chaos’s revenge), basically every rapier… man i miss this game.

xv: > implying i care about ff15. idk, let’s go with the star of the rogue since i used it to win the game.

type-0: SEVEN’S WHIPBLADE, HOLY SHIT. type-0 might have been a hot mess but THAT WEAPON WAS SO FUCKING AWESOME. the concept was AMAZING and it was SO MUCH FUN to use.

tactics advance: the cinquedea, which teaches steal: ability. i don’t think i really used it until my most recent playthough, but holy shit, most broken thing ever. i fucking love it. one move and you suddenly know abilities that would otherwise take hours of gameplay. fuckin’ amazing.

…that was so much more tl;dr than i expected. i guess i have a lot to say about weapons. in my defense, you do sort of use them a lot in an rpg. anyway, rest of questions below the cut.

50. Favorite vocal Final Fantasy song?

HOW COULD YOU ASK ME THIS. HOW COULD YOU ASK ME THIS.

oh my GOD i don’t even know how to BEGIN picking this. well i guess this as good a time as any to make that vocal playlist ive been meaning to make for ages.

okay, well, first observation, i’m missing a few. not too many, thankfully. judging by playcounts alone, it’s either one of the ff7 songs or zero from type-0. and given that i have 800 plays alone of one song in particular……. i kind of have to pick it. logic sort of dictates it’s my favorite.

so: REDEMPTION, the theme song from dirge of cerberus, by gackt. i’m gonna be honest, this song is still fuckin’ great. sure, i can’t listen to it without feeling like i’m 16, but this was the song that turned me from a casual gackt fan into someone who wanted to hear a lot more of his stuff, and i’ll always be grateful for that.

(god i still know every word of this song.)

52. Favorite limit break/overdrive/trance/you-get-the-picture mode and/or ability?

holy shit this is also impossible to pick.

you know what, i’m gonna say ff7 as a whole. i’ve spent uncountable hours getting every single limit break in every single playthrough. yes, even aerith’s. some of them are bizarre (LOOKING AT YOU, DOLPHIN BLOW), but they all make me think me think a lot more about the worldbuild.

honorable mention to rinoa’s though, because what the fuck. what the absolute fuck.

53. Are there any plot-holes or questions you have about any of the games that you wish would be resolved? 

why didn’t ff15 have a plot :”|

no okay. idk this is one of those that’s hard to come up with on the spot. the best ones i can think of right now are backstory things i’d like to see the ff7 remake address. specifically: an actual backstory for cid beyond the rocket program. like, i don’t know, a hometown, something every other party member has. i’d also like a stronger focus on tifa’s early history in midgar.

OH YOU KNOW WHAT, THERE’S A PLOT HOLE. WHERE THE FUCK IS ZANGAN? he takes tifa all the way to midgar and then just LEAVES HER THERE. THANKS A LOT DUDE. and yet he comes back to nibelheim, sees the clones in the black cloaks, scribbles a note, shoves it in the piano, and bounces again??? where the fuck is zangan.

54. What scene had the most impact on you?

out of the entire series? that’s, uh, broad.

i’m gonna go with the same thing i said the last time i did a meme like this: the ending of ff6. there’s a great exchange between the party and kefka where he asks what you’re fighting for, and it really drives home all the themes of the game. that, and the epilogue, were things that made me go “wow i want to play this again right now, it was that good.”

disjunkt replied to your post:

You can read up on some of the worldbuilding on the second floor in the library! It won’t tell you “btw this is covered in Trails in the Sky”, but it is a neat introduction nevertheless (imo).

I checked that out not long after I made my first impressions post! It does make for a nice little primer on the world of Trails. :D

disjunkt also said on the same post:

Also, Trails in the Sky SC (which finishes the story of FC) is available digitally on PSP, so you wouldn’t have to switch, and can benefit from carrying over your save data. The third game is Steam-only, but from what I’ve heard, it’s kind of a bonus epilogue or something, so the transition is hopefully not as jarring. (Sorry, I hope that was ok information to give and not spoilers?)

I knew SC was available digitally on the Vita, but it's about two gigs on there, isn't it? Unfortunately, I don't have the space for it on there; as it is, I need to clear space on it in order to get NDRV3's Japanese voicetrack. Downloading the game on PSP is even more out of the question... I seem to remember that doing a data install for Persona 2 IS took up more space than my entire memory card, which sucked because loading times for that game are looooong without it. >>; Steam it'll have to be for Sky SC, then!

(Don't worry, that was information I'd picked up on elsewhere anyway, and I don't think it was particularly spoilery! My understanding of 3rd's story is that it ties into FC/SC, but mainly follows new protags that have their own thing going on, but I haven't looked into it in too much detail yet.)

2, 4, 9, 14, 16, 17, 29

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

2. Is there a ship you didn’t like at first but ultimately started shipping?

Tenchi/Ryouko (Tenchi Muyo) Not sure why but when I was young I really liked Aeka. But looking back Ryouko is my fav.

4. Name a popular ship you don’t get the appeal of.

Athrun/Cagalli (Gundam SEED) Sorry this is like the only ship I’m really against, I just don’t see any chemistry between them….

9. What ship represents the kind of relationship you’d love to have?

John/Dido (Belle, 2013 movie) honestly this film is so personal for me? It hits all the things I really value, like mutual respect and understanding, and the willingness to discuss issues and what they mean for us. A lot of the things John says to Dido are really the kind of things I wish someone would tell me.

14. Is there a ship you feel gets undeserved hate in fandom?

Athrun/Meyrin (Gundam SEED Destiny) Ok this was hard??? I don’t actually follow a lot of ship hate, but I feel like Meyrin represents so many us, the fangirls who’ve admired from afar, but never dared to actually talk to the famous people we’ve crushed and gushed over. But yeah since this “gets in the way” of AsuCaga, I used to see so much flaming when GSD was still fresh.

16. Is there a ship that made you realise something about yourself?

Theon/Robb (ASOIAF) Yeah this really hit all the right emotional buttons for me, but then I also realized I seem to go for tragedy ships a lot….

17. Is there a type of ship you always go for?

fgfgdgddf ^^^^ see above??? 👀 omg I apparently really have it out for the tragedy ships. It’s almost a miracle when I go for a happy ship. Something about the struggles of a ship doomed for failure that really gets me? I guess the more it has to over come, the more appealing it is for me. It’s the chase, not the prize at the end, that does it for me.

29. What is the ship you ignore 98% of canon for?

Probably Derek/Stiles from Teen Wolf, considering I’m still stuck in season 3??? I don’t even care what’s going on, I just like the quality of fics I (used to) read, and I really like the dynamic between them established in S1-2.
