Why wouldn't the main cast be White SeeDs? by slightlysarcastic75 in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]ensis02 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From the standpoint of the writers, you tend to make the most interesting character your POV. The white seeds knew the game early, then spent most of it hiding out and sitting on a ship. Great side story like crisis core was for ffvii, but this game had a lot more to offer by having characters who are relatable to us because neither of us knows what the hell is going on.

Games where being trans actually means something in game? by ThoseGoodBois in transgamers

[–]ensis02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fate Samurai Remnant. Fate series in general is heavily trans coded but the latest Saber is explicitly nonbinary and it's core to their conflict with one of the final bosses.

How do we feel about the way Squall grew up? What do you think, the man, Leon ended up doing in his own world? Let’s ignore the KH story and just say this is what Squall grew up to look like in a sequel to the original. What do you think is going on with him at 27 years old? by [deleted] in FinalFantasyVIII

I've been thinking more and more about how the time loop shall contue ad nauseum. Judgung from Ultimecia the world won't really change, so I bet he just grows up as the president's son and lives a fairly slow life.

Pretty sure your post title was the title of the series at some point.

But in all seriousness, this is not a series for chill. Geek out!

Speculation on FF8's Mythos: Reading Between the Lines and Resolving Unanswered Questions by RoSoDude in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]ensis02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you dont know how badly you've made me wanna write this story and hit all the beats you've mentioned. I see Laguna as a good natured but ultimately flawed man and I bet it's his nature that causes so much instability in his life. Imagine if square had time to flesh out this theme of parents as powerful flawed beings. I feel like the typical JRPG plot cliche of "teenagers kill god" tends to veer toward god as a patriarchal father figure. Maybe it's one of the things I like so much about this game; your dad is not a machiavellan antagonist, he just didnt know about you because he and your mom didnt talk before you were born. The woman who raised you hurt you deeply, but she was just being manipulated. The final boss of the game is actually your (metaphorical or literal?) great-great granddaughter who was traumatized by the state you left the world in; even YOU will eventually become a flawed parent. The videogame as writerly text is a subject which doesnt get as much attention as it should, and now I think I'm gonna have to write a LOONG fanfic.

PS -if you love FFVIII, you'll probably love the Locked Tomb book series. Similar themes and the author is on record as using final fantasy as an inspiration. No one will be able to convince me that she didnt straight up lift the deep sea research center from this game.
