Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

My little FF9 collection so far, I'm trying to get the Invincible somewhere but I like how the poses came out.

turtle tank UPGRADED



he bing chilling (and immediately ruined my feng shui)

My favorite paper Mario is out, it looks good. I wonder if they will also do the first game

On YouTube? In English? Couldn't find a video with that title, even using a VPN. Can you share the link?

lul that ***looks like a blast (literally)

Good morning you who toss a bait. And also you who is the one baited.

And also you that join the pond just because

Yeah, it was in portuguese. Even the title I loosely translated.

In the same channel I also watched some review of old FFVII and got some extra tidbit that I hadnt during all those years.

I always considered Tifa and Aeris the best waifus but never got myself to decide what would be the "true" couple, because Cloud never was explicit (that I remember) which one he loved though you could always lean one way or another.

My first playthroughs (when I was very young) I didnt unlock Vicent so I never got the lore behind Zack. In a time that internet was still infant, it took some years before I could replay FF7 and finally unlock the basement of Shinra Mansion, and got all that juice lore of Zack. So even Zack x Aeris was kinda late news to me, and I always denied that couple (as kid, obviously I always thought Cloud super cool with that spiky hair and *** sword).

The tidbit information that I just learned yeserday was what was Cloud during the story? The guy said: Cloud had injected on him Jenova cells after the Nilbeheim accident for long 5 years, to the point he developed a Jenova self.

So, he concluded Cloud wasnt Cloud for the most part of the game. For the most part of the story, the group was following an artificial conciousness that was basically the same of those dark clothed guys in Nilbeheim after the accident, that unconciously would follow the great reunion, and would be under Sephiroths influence. I always considered that all that stuff was Sephiroth mind controlling Cloud, but I never thought it was something way deeper than that.

So, I just noticed if that was true, then Aeris never meet the real Cloud. All that relationship between Aeris and Cloud wasnt more that the relationship between Jenovas conciousness and her. So, it was all fake.

After so many years, I finally narrowed down my understanding about the game, and concluded the only couple that make sense then is Cloud x Tifa, because the real Cloud never met Aeris.

And after so many years, I dont feel like Cloud was the super cool guy. Hes more like a poor one

@Draylo , maybe ask this guy to make u one.

If you know a 3D software(Maya/Blender), then you can get FF9 FBX files from this link.
https://www.models-resource.com/pc_computer/finalfantasyix/
No Invincible on that link. But could DL the full game somewhere and rip the model and print it that way also.

Find a IMG rip of the game and export the models from a viewer.
Can then import the model into a 3d software to pose it, then export to a 3D printer.

Here's how to rip and view link:

Here's a FF9 model viewer, works kind of like Altana Viewer does.(needs ripped IMG game CD file, most likely disc 4):

Some team used AI to mod the game to look higher quality.

Yes I just recently did that mod for steam deck and enjoying it, its also got a lot of other ones like custom characters and stuff. Pretty cool, thank you for the info, I would like to put a nice big one there behind the characters.

One annoying thing with IT/computer science subject is that is always questionable about reading technical books with more than 5 years.

Sometimes, old books spend pages and pages explaining a gimmick to bypass some language limitation at that time, some very complex stuff, when nowadays most language can figure out those gimmicks and propose new syntax that makes dozens of pages of explanation in one line simply command.

Unless its something very fundamental (thus less likely to change), books before 2020 arent a good idea to read

I hate how everything is called AI now, when literally none of it is AI at all and never will be. We are at stage 2 of "I'm a magician and I do real magic tricks"

This a cool monster link also for ff9.

Someone ripped all the FF9 enemy models and lined them all up in a couple images.

If you right click a image and click 'open in a new tab', you can zoom into it really closely.

I am under the impression that everytime when this issue was discussed in the FF community, majority of people agreed with Tifa is the correct choice for Cloud.

Funny how in remake I liked Aerith's character significantly more than Tifa's, and yet for whatever reason I often subconsciously pick Tifa when I had a choice between the two. I bet knowing the whole story from the OG secretly affected my choice.....

Wow neat, thats really cool. I always wonder how to get other games to have their files viewed like altana viewer, so this is nice. I want to get a few monsters too, I like the Mistodon a lot and the beatrix/steiner scene made me want to get one. I saw this shadow box too and thought it look really neat.

Its the current trend.

Cant blame bandwagoners, as Im particularly an adept to bandwagoning anyway.

Always stay in the winning side

cool box! must of took some effort to do it.

Ourageous game idea. I love the fact we get games like these.

that vid nuts...

Thanks

To be fair, philosophy (mostly existentialism) & religion (mostly Church Bad) are not uncommonly discussed in JRPGs, with varying degrees of depth

XIV is having another free login campaign. There are also several events ongoing that coincide with this.

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/freelogincampaign/

Gold Saucer is the place to be! MGP rewards boosted +50%, Mog Tomes drop from GATEs, and the Fall Guys collab is back (MGP here confirmed boosted too). :D
I already have all the unique stuff from Fall Guys, so I'm gonna spend all my MGF on dyes ready for the 2-channel dyes in Dawntrail. >_>; <_<;

Wonder if I am eligible despite not having Endwalker. Definitely haven't played since before COVID.

there is a plugin to auto triple triad at a self instant npc to get 10mil(cap), so no point for this event in general.

the plugins are so crazy, you can make the game play the whole game auto.

Venus Orb
Preloaded Rainbow box
Crepuscular Cloak

Lucky!

Meanwhile...

My gil finally burnt too much of a hole in my pocket and I shelled out 39.4mil for a Warrior's Beads +2.

4/5ths +3 Empyrean Armor on WAR. All that remain are the feet.

Did a couple orbs. Job cards for jobs I don't use and death. Yeehaw. Wish I could get your sort of luck!

Good morning you who troll witha shirt. Also you who trolls with trousers. And also you who trolls with only a sock.

Love is the answer

Yesterday after work I went homw and noticed I had no ongoing video to watch. Neither any super interesting manga to read (currently reading a very slice of life one). Nor any game on progress.

So, I just read two chapters of that manga and went to sleep 1h earlier than usual.

Kinda felt empty yesterday.

Maybe I will try watching some old spin off of SMT play tonight. I think I will try SMT4 and 5 at some point so I will keep that for later.

Personas I think I will also give it a try so maybe the Devil Sagas path
