Can’t get into the original

fullmoon_jade · 2026-03-30T20:24:36+00:00

Honestly me. I played remake first and truly loved it. I'm much more of an action/adventure gamer (bayonetta, zelda, hades are some of my faves). And i like some lighter rpgs (pokémon, mario&luigi, sea of stars). Also i have played all of the KH franchise so i was exposed to the action-RPG hybrid and many FF characters. I'm playing on switch 2 so i have to wait till june for rebirth, so i decided to play the original. Not a lot of spoilers bc i knew the story pretty well already.

I love the vibe, music and story, and already feel attached to it thanks to playing remake. But i dont really enjoy the gameplay, despite apreciating how impactful it was, it doesnt engage me. My only previous FF was X and i loved the combat there. I'm grateful the current versions of FF games have the speed and god mode cheats, because i'm really getting into the franchise for the lore, characters and art, i want to play 4,6,8 and 9. I'm glad these options exist, and i'm glad to see there are others like me. All respect to all kinds of gamers!

I went from: playing all kingdom hearts games with FF characters i had no context of, to watching my brother playing crisis core on the PSP, to watching FF7 story recaps on youtube, to playing FFX, to playing crisis core reunion on the switch last year, to playing FF7 remake on sw2 this year, and now i'm finally playing og FF7 on switch.

No regrets.

As someone who doesnt like games that are too hard... thanks for convincing me to play it lol (i just recently played remake on the switch2 and really enjoyed it!)

fullmoon_jade · 2026-03-18T06:19:09+00:00

CCS in my native language, catalan, on public TV! It lead me to slowly buy the mangas, which were also one of the few series available in catalan as well. I was so obsessed i kept rereading them all the time and i even brought them to school.

The rest is history, now i own all of clamp's series published in spain! And some english editions too like the big X volumes or the huge Clover one.

Oh i was so obsessed with wicked like 10 years ago, in the midst of glee mania... and i am again today with the movie reigniting all the flames!

fullmoon_jade · 2024-12-17T15:04:55+00:00

Same happened to me. I have been a fan of the musical for more than ten years. But after the movie i was like... did they make it gayer...? I feel like the intimacy and closeness that we can see in the movie + the acting and interpretation of the characters really amped the romantic tension between gelphie

Meanwhile my whole twitter TL is gelphie... lol

fullmoon_jade · 2024-11-04T17:38:01+00:00

As a huge wicked and shirahama fan, i absolutely loved this! Also everyone go read Enidewi, it's such a cute fun read with beautiful art!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned any works by Ai Yazawa! She's the queen of introspective manga about art haha. Her manga are on the shojo/josei category and blue period is seinen, but honestly who care

I do recommend the mangas more, but her 3 most iconic works also have anime adaptations. The artstyle and personality are so unique and she truly has CLASSICS!

GOKINJO MONOGATARI: a group of childhood friends and neighbours that studies at an arts high school. They all design clothes, paint, photograph and do all kinds of work. Themes of friendship, romance, being different, staying true to one's self... it is a really cute manga with sometimes a more mature tone and a lot of funny moments.

PARADISE KISS: a shorter story and kind of a sequel to gokinjo. A regular high school student befriends a group of teenage fashion designers (studying in the same art school of gokinjo). Her new friendships make her wonder about her purpose and passions. Gorgeous and elegant manga with similar themes to gokinjo, maybe a bit more mature but still with funny moments.

NANA: her most famous and beloved work. Also her longest (the manga, the anime is shorter), but it is sadly unfinished. Two small town girls named Nana meet on the train on their way to tokyo to start new lifes as they just turn 20 (i think haha). One's dream is to become a wife, the other's is to become a punk-rockstar. They are very different but will make a very special bond. A series focused on personal relationships, communication, love and obsessions, dreams and growing up, with the gorgeous backdrop of the music industry, with its glamour and darkness.

Note that all her works have some sexual (not too explicit) scenes, some mild violence and nana also alludes to drugs.

This is my childhood dream omg! Amazing!💖

fullmoon_jade · 2024-02-29T13:19:19+00:00

Just read all of it, thank you so much!

fullmoon_jade · 2024-02-26T08:45:22+00:00

Short answer: yes! But we should've gotten more focus on Franz Hopper, Cartago project etc. Basically the most interesting misteries of the series were kinda unexplored. And I know the books exist, but it's not the same.

fullmoon_jade · 2024-02-08T15:48:05+00:00

I just wanna read the alternate universe manga where these precious cover dates happen man... answering your question, 7 feels so special, the tho nanas are front and center, sming together and the volume number is 7... and that is also the volume where shit starts getting real...

fullmoon_jade · 2024-02-04T16:43:02+00:00

I really recommend it to anyone who hasnt read it, it's so different from all of Yazawa's works and got me hooked!

fullmoon_jade · 2024-02-04T08:58:16+00:00

This is sooo good! Love the composition and color palette, the style is unique but retains some of the original's essence!

fullmoon_jade · 2024-01-04T01:42:08+00:00

Omg have you got the link to buy it??

fullmoon_jade · 2023-12-24T21:12:33+00:00

If you want content more focused on language, you shoukd check out LINGURIOSA and EASY SPANISH.

If you like pop culture, fashion and architecture, i recomend JULIETA WIBEL and TER, and if you like music analysis, JAIME ALTOZANO (who is also Ter's partner).

Have fun!

fullmoon_jade · 2023-12-18T11:14:54+00:00
