Something tells me that this will help me finally understand the ending.

I finally did it. I beat 7th Saga for the SNES. What a brutal game. I did not have the patience for it as a kid.
My team was Esuna and Valsu. The battles are slow, but at high levels you're untouchable.
The secret to this game is to just watch something on a second screen while grinding levels.
ZONe Energy, for when you just got home from a 12 hour shift, but still want to grind a few levels on Dragon Quest VII Reimagined.
I couldn't turn down this Kirby sandwich I saw at Family Mart. The stars were calling out to me, whatever they're made out of.

Final Fantasy IX pop-up cafe near Shinjuku, Tokyo station. Stumbled into this place today. Reservations are required, but the food looks good and the FF9 collectables are some of the best I've seen.

Rydia did end up getting some MTG Final Fantasy cards. Just gleefully wiping out her enemies with a Mist Dragon.

This game was one of the first Japanese VNs that got a IBM-PC release. Because IBM-PCs were popular in South Korea at the time, this allowed it become very popular there.

Really liking how the MTG Final Fantasy cards turned out.
One character I'm surprised didn't get a card is Rydia. She was a key player in FF4's story. A card with her summoning Mist Dragon or Titan has tons of potential.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Nintendo Power Issue 32
Final Fantasy 9 was unique in the tying an Eidolon's strength to items in the party's inventory. For example, Shiva has a base power of 36, but gains 1 power for each Opal the party has. You can quadruple her strength when holding 99 Opals.
I would have expected the Death Stranding 2 release trailer to break the 2 hour mark. I wonder how many editors it took to talk Kojima down to 10 minutes
A forgotten Legend of Zelda game? I found this advertisement in the German language Club Nintendo magazine (Dec 1998).
A couple of people on Reddit mentioned that it was a unique Zelda browser game, but it's vanished from the internet. Archive has basically nothing saved for it, too.
how did I not know this. Just canceled my Spotify sub, thanks
