PS: If we are purely talking about the original arrangement and instrumentation of the music and soundtrack of the FF6 for the SFC/SNES and FF7 for the PS1 (ie: no Pixel Remasters, no Rebirth/Remake, no ports), Final Fantasy VI wollops Final Fantasy VII.
PSS: Final Fantasy Mystic Quest music slaps way harder than it should. That is all.

Since PixelDailies' theme two days ago was "chocobo", I have Final Fantasy on my mind.
A deep cut—Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Mystic Quest Legend). A game that I started and didn't finish—I was finding it too easy for my liking. But alas, I am feeling the pull to give it another try. It's music is good. Here's a cover Beautiful Forest, by #OrchestralFantasy

Imagine having to explain this is the calmest, most mild-mannered character in all of Final Fantasy 8
My man uses a HARPOON as a weapon.
Insane. Beautiful.
Is there a single playable "Smart" #FF8 character? They are all bimbos.
Quistis the least, perhaps.
But Zell. Squall. Selphie!! Rhinoa most of the time. Even Laguna.
Hm, maybe not Ward? Is Ward Smart? Discuss.
Cloud is such a tryhard nerd
Unlike MY favorite Hot Final Fantasy Boy,
Squall Leonhart.
All of the cards I needed to make my #FF7 Magic the Gathering display have now been acquired and the base plate is done. Next is cutting plexiglass.

A beautiful short article about playing Final Fantasy for the first time today, by Kimimi. I loved every part of it.
Just back from Bitsummit 2025 in Kyoto. The day finished with Uematsu playing a few tunes with conTiki, including the excellent Eyes on Me from Final Fantasy VIII. I have just uploaded it here for sharing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAmcczGgq3E
Enjoy!

Garnet and Vivi are such great characters and personalities. And every other character is distinct and interesting even if they aren't likable (Zidane).
The music is perfect, and the art style is so charming and well aged despite looking low poly.
It is the opposite Spirits Within.

Still working my way through this and it looks like I'm almost to the end of disc one. I only know that because I had to look up a guide to figure out where a code you're sent to find was.
While I was looking that up in noticed that there were a couple GFs that I missed so I did a little cheating and used a save editor to unlock them. One was from a magic lamp given to you early on that I don't have in my inventory anymore so I'm think I might have sold it lol
25 years ago today one of the best entries in the Final Fantasy series was released. At first glance, it's easy to consider Final Fantasy IX as a light and whimsical title, especially in the shadow of FFVII. But anyone who has played the game knows that beyond its colourful characters and gorgeous scenery, it explores themes of existentialism, identity, finding your chosen family, finding love and acceptance as you are, and also finding yourself and what it means to carve your own path and to make the choices that define you, despite your past or what inner or outer darkness you are fighting against.
It's a story that asks some very deep questions about dealing with depression, the meaning of life, and the fear of death and loss, that ultimately rejects nihilism by emphasising how even the realisation that existence is temporary and mortality is inevitable doesn't diminish the importance of connecting, loving, sharing, hoping, experiencing the little moments, and fighting for a better world. It's one the most beautiful and hopepunk games to have come out in the last few decades that remains more relevant than ever, and is well worth discovering even today.

I was curious how much resolution can be ramped up until the game started slowing down, but it's at 10x and still going strong! So maybe it looks good, lol.
Can I overcome fate?
This is a screenshot from a video game. The player is looking at the stats of an opponent named Garland, who is level 6. Garland has 1731 HP, 336 CP, 161 BRV, 24 ATK, 17 DEF, and 13 LUK. He is equipped with an axe and bronze armor, giving him a bravery bonus of 3. The player can advance to the next screen by selecting the "NEXT" button.
For a very long time, I wasn't the biggest fan of the original arrangements of the Final Fantasy VII battle and victory fanfare songs.
I have since fallen in love with the Final Fantasy VII Remake's arrangement of the "Let the Battles Begin - A Merc's Job". In fact, it's a banger!

That said, I still cannot say that I'm a fan of the Final Fantasy VII Remake's arrangement of the victory fanfare. It's still too much of a departure from the classic fanfares used in FF I-VI (and returned in FF X). Of the non-classic victory fanfares, FF X and FF VIII take the cake.
I normally hate mill decks.
But then I pulled this card from the Final Fantasy set, and now I’m tempted to build one…

#dbcraftalong update: the paint (and relentless masking goo) is coming along well, if buckling more than planned.
Tape, however, cares not for the children: the stretched paper dried stained (a first for me), so here is paper the second, unstretched and held with painters tape.
The background will be a very dark purple, sooo we’ll see if the delicate tape holds it together or continues to lift and peel
