Moving over to Medium

 I've looked around for advice, and most people suggest that Blogger is an old, decaying platform that's no longer taken seriously, and is deprioritized by, funnily enough, Google's own search engine. For these reasons, I'm going to be moving over to Medium instead - it looks sleek, offers a approximate reading time, has a text to speech feature, lets you easily quote posts, and more. While it doesn't have as much customization as Blogger, that's not really a problem considering what it does offer.

So, I'm moving. I will keep the posts here, and only copy my latest one there. But, all future posts will now go here: https://medium.com/@countrevier. Thanks for reading, and hope to see you there!


Edit: The move turned out short lived. Medium's audience generally seems far more interested in politically charged topics than musings on adventure games. Which is understandable, but not what I cater to.

Final Fantasy 6: All About Losers

 So, as it happens, I managed to reexperience some of Final Fantasy 6 through a Let's Play of its Pixel Remaster.

But that made me ponder what I liked about it, and I think I have found a rather simple, if seemingly contrarian answer: Final Fantasy 6 is a story about losers. Think about it. Terra, the very first protagonist we're introduced to, is a vacuous woman who constantly struggles with doubts about herself and her decisions. Locke, well, he constantly has complexes over a girlfriend who died ages ago and whose corpse he constantly preserves in a basement attended to by a creepy guy. Edgar? Sabin? Well, they're definitely a touch more adjusted than most of the protagonists, but are by no means flawless beings, and definitely no selfless paladins in shining armor. Edgar is, as is often noted, a smart and capable ruler who also happens to be ...

Some screenshots from Aria of Sorrow Castle B

 Ever since I played Harmony of Dissonance, I always wondered what a moody and hellish version of Aria of Sorrow's castle would look like, ala Castle B of the former game. JonataGuitar's excellent recolor mod for AoS inspired me to work on this idea. It took quite a lot of practice, and opinions from others, but I'm happy with what I've got so far. Screenshots below: Let me know what you think! As for the next post of A Long Look at To the Moon: it's coming soon. Stay tuned!
