What’s the most iconic line in Final Fantasy history?

100% agree. Writing is just as much about discovering what you don’t like as it is developing your craft.

just start. the only way to write when it's due, in the end, is to write. if it's garbage you can bin it later but you sometimes just need to get the bad stuff out so the good stuff can come out after

…and everything outside represents chaos (savagery). Furthermore, the god best known for defending Asgard against the giants is Thor. [3/3]

Similarly, early in the Norse myth cycle, the gods had a vast fortification built around the heavenly realm of Asgard to protect them from the primitive giants. The term ‘gardr’ itself refers to a boundary or enclosure, where everything inside the gardr represents order (civilization)… [2/3]

According to #Logos, when the Veldermarke claimed dominion over northern Ash centuries ago, King Thorbjorn erected great ramparts along its borders to separate the “civilized” world from the “savage” human and beastmen tribes beyond. The construct would come to be known as the Ravenwit Walls. [1/3]

The more I read of #Logos, the happier I get with the observations I’ve presented in Mythos. There are so many examples of Logos reaffirming or elaborating on something I’ve discussed from a mythological perspective. I’ll share one from early in the tome later today.

Happy 6th birthday to Final Fantasy VII Remake, the game that made us feel like we were going home.

What’s your favourite memory from playing this?

Tifa’s endgame weapons in FFVII Rebirth are the Járngreipr, meaning “Iron Grippers” in Old Norse. They’re named after the gloves of Thor, the Norse god of storms. This may explain why the Járngreipr are found in the ToA’s Corridor of Currents, amid the Lifestream tempest.

Since Dad Bowser is relevant again, I made this radio play a few years ago about Bowser trying to be a better Koopa youtu.be/t8-s8mNA5R0?... I just listened to it again, and I’m actually still really proud of it. It’s pretty charming.

My friends, I'm so grateful.

The Kickstarter for MYTHS & TRADITIONS THAT INSPIRED FINAL FANTASY TACTICS was funded in under 15 minutes, but those early backer rewards are running out fast. Best grab them while you can. Once they're gone, they're gone.
