I'm really thankful that I'm out of my collecting phase. Sitting here thinking to myself about how it would suck to finally pull the trigger a Holy Grail like Ogre Battle 64 only to have see it on NSO at some point:

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

The links between OG FFVII’s Nibelheim and Norse mythology can be seen with the Odin Materia, the Rune Blade, and its name (based on Niflheimr). Remake continued the trend by including characters from an old runic alphabet on the outfit of Tifa, herself born in Nibelheim.

Tetsuya Nomura says his second favorite character he made is Red XIII. He drew him thinking it would be neat if a creature like that actually existed. Incidentally, Nomura's third favorite character is the Moomba, which he says is kind of what you get when Red XIII walks on two legs. -GameWalker #71

I've always wanted Moomba to appear in more games and be treated a reoccurring companion like Moogles and Chocobos. At the same time, it really makes their presence in FFVIII all the more whimsical too.

In Greek mythology, the war goddess Athena is born from Zeus’ forehead, wearing full armor and a helmet, and wielding a spear and shield. Her Roman equivalent is Minerva, which explains why during Zack's fight with Minerva in Crisis Core, she's equipped with similar items to newborn Athena.

If someone where to make mods so that Musashi was Bartz and Benki was Gilgamesh; I'd be in heaven. Wouldn't care if it's Bartz's Dissidia NT or Duellem model. (I only request this because I know we'll get Cloud and Sephiroth mods for Musashi and Ganryu at some point)

In the legends of King Arthur, his knights gather at the Round Table at Camelot. Arthur is also associated with Avalon, a mystical island of fruit trees, where he’s said to be entombed. This is why Final Fantasy VII’s Knights of the Round materia is found on the forested Round Island, hidden at sea.

FFVII event planner Jun Akiyama was responsible for creating Cid's running animation. The rest of the staff loved it so much that at one point they had all the NPCs in the towns running around like Cid. Akiyama eventually caught wind and put an end to it. (Famitsu #1224)

Naoki Hamaguchi says that in FFVII Rebirth, there was a piano mini-game. This time around, that’s been greatly expanded, and it now contains information related to Tifa. You can learn more about Tifa by playing this Piano game. He says he's definitely going to get asked by PR why he just said that.

The friend that introduced me to Final Fantasy also introduced me to Western RPGs via Diablo II and Neverwinter Nights. The memories of D2 are nearly as vivid as the day I was introduced to FF via FFIV and FFVII on the same day. I just wish ActiBlizz wasn't such a shit show of a company.
