Eheheh... looks like even in the summer I'm skipping months to put up a journal. Well since it's been over a month since I last made a journal, I better make an update!!

Last time, I told everyone that I played Final Fantasy IX (Well more like an emulation of it, but still!) and normally I'm not crazy about the Final Fantasy games in which you can't change your character's job class, but since a whole cast of characters are so damn lovable, it's hard to not play the game! My dream party in that game thus far is Zidane (For his hilariously perverted and womanizing attitude, plus his ability to kill enemies with a single wink. (If you level and equip him the right way!)), Garnet/Dagger (For her intriguing background, and the ability to heal and *gulp* summon. ), Steiner (For his strength and the fact that he's the butt-monkey of almost every gag.), and Vivi! (For... EVERYTHING about that character! He's adorable, he's got such a sweet personality, he's compassionate, and he's a FRIGGIN' BLACK MAGE!!! ) The designs for the characters are gorgeous, the soundtrack is beautiful and fitting in the game's environment, and the overall gameplay is fantastic! I'm near the end of Disk Two right now, but I highly recommend this game to old Final Fantasy players, along with newer fans or anyone who hasn't played the games at all! You'll love it!

After playing quite a bit of the game, along with studying up on Final Fantasy XI Online (would've been the best game ever made... if it wasn't ONLY ONLINE!!! ), I've decided to revive a (in a metaphorical sense...) dead project. For those of you who've watched me for a long time now, or those who have been close to me in convos, I'm sure you knew about my old story, Final Fantasy Inverted, which was slightly based on the Final Fantasy world, but I didn't exactly specify which one. Well I liked how the overworld and the slightly freeform story of FFXI was, along with a bunch of other things, so I've decided to revive the series under chapters upon chapters of comics! (Yes, it'll adopt quite a bit of the plot of Final Fantasy Online, despite me not playing the game. )

I've typed up half the script of the first chapter, so once I get the script proofread by my friends who are great at story-telling and plot-meshing, the chapters will premiere on my Smack Jeeves account. I'll still bring some extra comics from the series on my DeviantArt account (Because you guys rock! ), but the main series will be hosted on a site where it'll be easier to flip from chapter to chapter. I've made a deadline on July 25th to finish most of the pages of the first chapter and submit it, so stay tuned!

Oh, and since my sweetheart did this, I might as well do it too. (And since whenever I do memes, I don't force anyone to do it as well.) Here goes:


For the first 12 of 15 people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and links to the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.

1 [link] (Oh! Forgot to mention that most of the characters in Final Fantasy Inverted will have different costumes! ) 2 [link] (Because it started an inside joke between me and my girlfriend...) 3 [link] (Even though the coloring's done by his cousin, he's definately learned a lot from his art lessons! )
4:
1 [link] (even if this was three years ago, that's still impressive design work!) 2 [link] (Ah the Smash Bros Original Character tournament! I remembered that way back in the day! Hope we can do that again!) 3 [link] (Pandemonium cracks on that overrated book series! Yeah. That's right. I said it.)
5:

I love this specific animation for it's spontaneous humor, along with the easter egg at the end of it! ) 2 [link] ("Buy my cereal!") 3 [link] (Again, new costume designs! I think Kryspin looks adorable in that pic! (That the little wind drake!)) 4 (again, can't pick just three!)

And that is all to report. See you next update!
