    I was more going for a 'how are you' vibe rather than a pestering one.

    Hello!

    I had a crisis call last night from like 1 am to 6 am and I am all off schedule and exhausted now. I slept some when I got home but I couldn't sleep in too late or it would mess up my schedule even more.

    Petty complaints compared to why I was up, but I'm just bleegh

    Hey Fynn, hope you're doing well!

    If you're not busy (and I know you're doing thesis and all sorts), could you look at my site contributions article? You'd probably have more of an opinion than others on Persona vs FFXV!

    Well they almost do repeat their mistakes since they did take her and meant to break her apart and build machines similar to her, so you do actually help stop that from happening. Course this is DQ, and it almost never has twists like that. I can assure you that most of the present day versions of the world are all better off than their past incarnations. The modern world doesn't really run into problems until the Demon Lord finally starts to get involved and that's significantly later in the game (second disc in the original) so don't expect too much conflict. You do have some situations that could be better off, but mostly the modern settings are bittersweet cause you know the truth and the people are largely ignorant of their own history, but DQ has always been a more idealistic series than most.

    He has his moments but I would argue its from moment to moment within the games themselves. I mean being stone for all the years in DQV was pretty poignant but the whole thing with your mother showing up at the end just so she can die felt like he was tacking it on to tie up a loose end and using it for a cheap last minute punch to the gut.

    I digress I would say the party did the best they could with their ability. She can't really be fixed by any of them and I feel that letting her be or simply turning her off is pretty troutty either way. Of anything, I see her fate as an ironic echo of a man who himself could never let go. So I still feel the scene is pretty powerful if a bit forced. Honestly, get used to the party not exactly righting all the wrongs of the world. They may be saving the lands but that doesn't mean they can solve all of their problems. Hell wait until you reach the one town that just can't seem to stay saved or the really messed up one where the town has a missing priest. Hell, even the last few lands you reach end more bittersweet than happily ever after. I said before it was the darkest entry, though being Dragon Quest, that doesn't really amount to much.

    I don't know, I feel it was really more the kingdom honoring the debt they owed to the guy for helping them back then, and its obvious the people trying to keep the area from being explored was simply the guys descendants from his brother. Also I found it kind of sad he built a robot to love him in the stead of his dead lover only to turn around and now have this immortal machine programed to take care of him is left with no raison d'etre because her master is gone.

    I don't know, it may have to do with the issue that robotics and A.I.s are probably the closest to a non-blasphemous analogy mankind will have with God, sure she's only programmed to take care and a bit of radio interference could turn her into a murder machine but you can't fault her for not being more human when you think about the limitations of her creator. Yes, the whole thing was handled better in Chrono Trigger but it's not like Yuji Horii is a great writer in the first place.

Part of your world

by Fynn on 06-06-2017 at 04:37 PM
So there's this nagging issue I've had for quite some time now. It's a pretty abstract issue but one I think is pretty interesting and perhaps even important to share nonetheless. For many reasons, it has only become more pronounced recently.

As some of you may know, I want to be a writer. I try to do as much writing as I can. I even do writing for a living, though as an SEO copywriter, it's not exactly that I have an opportunity to spread my creative wings as part of what keeps giving

On FFVII (part of my Fmarathon rant)

by Fynn on 11-23-2016 at 11:16 AM
Decided this is worthy of being a blog-post, since it turned out to be a much bigger rant than I expected and I'm not sure the marathon's audience is really there for that kind of stuff

Frustrations of the writerly sort

by Fynn on 07-01-2016 at 11:13 AM
So there's this thing I've been struggling for quite some time. I don't want to call it a "writer's block" because it kind of seems like an excuse for being lazy. And it usually doesn't last long. This is something that's been eating at me for a long time.

I just kinda feel that I can't write anymore.

I mean, I still write articles for the site sometimes and I write other texts at my work, but it seems like, creatively, I've dried up. I'll come up with ideas

On story expectations

by Fynn on 03-30-2016 at 11:57 AM
So this is kind of a general discussion, but the general rant I have is based on three popular 3DS RPGs: Bravely Default, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Shin Megami Tensei IV. Sorry if this is chaotic, as I'm just writing this as it comes into my mind. Also, spoilers from the three games abound.

All of those games were very well received, though for different reasons. SMT is kind of here to serve as a neutral ground, as the evaluation of its story is pretty divided, whereas the consensus

Character Appreciation: Junpei Iori

by Fynn on 03-30-2016 at 10:37 AM
This is in no way an idea I stole from Pumpkin, no siree.


Junpei Iori is a character from the Persona franchise. He first appears in Persona 3 and all of its subsequent releases as a playable party member. He becomes a social link character as well in the female path of Persona 3 Portable, though he isn't date-able. He is also playable in
