Over the last week, I’ve started replaying FFIX. I forgot how much of a badass Beatrix is. I’m on Disc 2, when they’re trying to escape Alexandria to Treno after Queen Brahne extracted the eidolons from Garnet. I’m looking forward to playing the card game tournament there, and resuming the chocobo sidequest… Right now I have a light blue chocobo, so hopefully soon I’ll be able to get a red one.

“Someone might not be there. Someone you love may disappear before your very eyes. It’s tough when you live your life thinking that way. But that’s why I fight…”
