Personally, I'm trying to get my book edits off the ground. But I'm also working on little bits of worldbuilding for a new story. I'm curious if other people are working on some creative project and I thought it would be cool to see where we're all at.

Maybe we could even coordinate together (in a safe way to prevent doxxing ourselves) and get collaborative projects going.

I have a background in writing and some free time with this temp gig, so if people want to reach out on their projects, anyone can feel free to DM me. Even if it's just feedback.

    Those are very good points. There were a lot of special things about tactics I can't replicate in other games.

    I still remember Kaplan, my Dragoon, Drake my White Mage, and Dawson my Samurai.

    I was able to care about them and their role in the story, even if they didn't have any lines or say in the events unfolding around them.

      Hell yeah, I remember having personal attachments to my army crew, too. Not many games out there that have made me feel that way. Disgaea came close, but the Disgaea plots are just too juvenile for me to stay invested long enough to finish any of them (much less level any characters into the 1000's)

        Oh my god yes. I tried to connect with my generics in disgaea and couldn't take the story seriously enough to get invested.

          That has been a very frustrating experience for me, because on the surface it seems like I should really like Disgaea, and I think if Disgaea were just an anime, I could see myself being into it, but mash the plot/themes/characters and the game format together, and it just doesn't click with me anymore.

          But yeah, if I could recapture any of that magic that FFT had, I'd be ecstatic
