The Immortal Archive: The record hall of Terra, Oeilvert
It’s fascinating how in the majority of the bad/dead endings of the Oeilvert VN-within-a-game the titular character’s actions catch up with her and she’s disposed of abruptly by Poissonrie for being a liability to their organization, and in the ‘true’ ending she incites a revolution with a former colleague but her name and exploits along with that of her allies get completely erased from official history until her story (of dubious authenticity) resurfaces many generations later. The former resembles Denam’s fate in the Lord endings of Tactics Ogre and the latter is similar to what happens to Ramza in Final Fantasy Tactics itself. It’s not the first Y. Matsuno game with a female lead (I think it was March of the Black Queen?) but it’s interesting (and amusing) that what appears to be the next closest thing to it is tucked away as an obscure unlockable never-officially-localized VN inside another game...

The Tale of Oeilvert - Final Fantasy’s Forgotten Heroine
One of the big appeals of Final Fantasy IX was the way it appealed to the nostalgia of longtime series fans, both in the way its story returned to the medieval roots of the 8/16-bit games, as well as dropping references to previous titles. Unfortunately some of these were lost either due inconsistent translations – the “Mount Gulug” is supposed to be the same “Gurgu Volcano” you visited in the original Final Fantasy for the NES (and was changed again to “Mount Gulg” in the PS1/GBA remake). Others were lost simply because the games being referenced at the time hadn’t been released in English at the time, such as when Ramuh relates the tale of Joseph, a character from Final Fantasy II (who was renamed Josef when the game was finally released in America for the PS1).
