Mitch - The Drunken Moogle

YES! 

*Spoilers for Final Fantasy IV, I guess*
Kain is one of my favorite characters in any Final Fantasy game and it makes me really happy to see one of my favorite artists, Zac Gorman, put him in a comic.  At the time of FFIV, the stories in the game weren’t as deep as future games, but there was still so much depth to his character.  Cecil’s problems were rough, but I had a soft spot for Kain.  Kain was always in second place to Cecil.  He picked a lower profession as a Dragoon in order to live up to his father’s name instead of choosing to be a Dark Knight, where he would have been a higher rank.  He was constantly in second place to Cecil, even to Rosa, the one he loved.  Golbez uses all doubts that Kain has, in addition to magic, to make Kain think he can become a better, more powerful person by following him.  After he’s released from the spell, he is plagued with a tremendous amount of guilt for his previous actions.  I haven’t finished the FFIV sequel yet, but I love what I’ve seen of Kain so far, in the first story.

Yeah, so that’s my nerd love post for the day. Love Final Fantasy IV.  It was my first RPG and Final Fantasy game, actually.

Final Fantasy XIV Box Art
Yoshitaka Amano

Amano is one of my favorite artists.  Every year at conventions I see art books by him and this year I think I’m going to finally purchase one.  I actually took this picture using the box from my newly purchased Final Fantasy XIV Collector’s Edition, as I couldn’t find a picture of the art online without the text.  It’s hypnotizing and I would love to have this piece framed in my house one day (along with other Amano art). 

I know in it’s current state FF14 is pretty bad.  That’s fine, as my computer can’t really handle it right now.  I’ll post a screen shot soon.  But despite all the criticism, I can’t help being excited for what the game will be in the future.  In the short time I’ve played FFXI, I’ve fallen in love with it and I can’t wait to play another MMO with a Final Fantasy theme.  The music in XIV is once again done by Uematsu, which to be honest, is a HUGE incentive in itself.  He’s one of my favorite composers and hearing the song “Distant Worlds” at the ATL Distant Worlds concert actually convinced me to play FFXI.  I’ve looked at the presentations and I really think XIV 2.0 will be a successful game.  But for right now I’ll just put my copy on the shelf and wait for it.
