I’ve been mostly laying low, post surgery last week, but that’s given me plenty of time to make my way through two paths of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. This one has been sticking in my brain, had to try something with it now that I’m off of the couch a bit more.

FEFW giving me massive decision paralysis during free time segments so I started parsing this out instead (WIP Dagsion day theme, Throngs of Dagsion - Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave). Should prob start using the auto activities function

Grass whistles #FFT #FFTactics #art

A digital painting of Ramza and Alma from Final Fantasy Tactics. They are sitting together in the grass. Alma is blowing on a grass blade, and Ramza is holding a strand of grass in his hands, about to do the same. Behind them are two saddled chocobos, their mounts. The landscape behind them shows a line of trees against a sunset sky.

Went into this expecting MGS1 shenanigans-routine black ops mission, goofy villains, silly codec calls, warmongering subtext. Did not expect it to have me in a chokehold where I binged it for three days, lost sleep, forgot to make dinner and nearly forgot about new Fire Emblem dropping tomorrow damn

WIP practicing Castlevania. Started at half tempo, gradually increased by 5-10 but near the target tempo had to switch from metronome to drum track bc it was so syncopated I needed a breakbeat groove near 130 bpm to help get it in the pocket (final version will NOT have the drums fyi lol)
