Well, you're probably aware that Dissidia Opera Omnia is shutting down on February 29, after more than 5 years entertaining the Final Fantasy fandom.


It may be just another mobile game to you, but imagine how fans who've been playing it since Day one , spending time and money on it , must be feeling. πŸ˜₯


I am not among those players , I did download the game and played the first chapters , but when I realized it could easily become addictive , I stopped playing , and stuck with watching both JP and Eng playthrough on YT.

Because I didn't want to experience the same as with Mobius FF, a wonderful FF mobile game , that was criminally shut down by SE for no reason. It has a huge fanbase , the game DLC was selling good, but since the team working on it was the same as FF7 Remake, SE probably thought it would slow down the development of Remake , and decided to shut down Mobius FF. I still can't get over it even now! 😑


And once again, Square Enix show no consideration for their fans. They've decided to shut down Opera Omnia the day FF7 Rebirth releases. As if Rebirth could erase that easily the frustration of players who've spent so much on OO. Releasing all the cutscenes on YT is nice, but many players have already done it before so....


But anyway, I just wanted to share my favourite parts in Dissidia Opera Omnia, and surprisingly , it's not necessary about my very favourite FF games. Obviously, it won't be spoiler-free, but can a game disappearing in a few days still be spoiled ? Warning, it's gonna be long! Here we go:


If I had to pick one favourite moment in Opera Omnia, I think it would be a tie between the FF9 chapters ( Act 2 Chapter 3, and Act 3 Chapter 4) and the FF13 saga chapters (Act 2 Ch 1, Act 3 ch 3 and Act 3 ch 10):


The FF9-centered chapters were amazing , and I just love how faithful to the OG FF9 everything was: Zidane being awesome as always, Kuja's behaviour when he kidnapped Vivi, Zidane and Garnet pretending they didn't notice that the Vivi following them was a fake , Garnet being jealous of Ultimecia when Zidane became her transient Knight then regretting doubting her beloved Zidane,πŸ₯° the Beatrix x Steiner fanservice, everything was so delightful. I rewatched these chapters just after playing FF9 , it felt so right ! And hearing the OG music really enhances that canon vibe.

As for the FF13 chapters, well, you do know how much I love Lightning, right ? It felt so good to see her again, years after Lightning Returns ended. But gonna be honest, I especially loved these chapters because of the HopexLightning fanservice we got!! 😍


In Act 2, it was basically Hope confessing again how much he loves Lightning: he went as far as asking to be in his teenager body in this world , just because it was in that form that he spent most time with Lightning. He told Vincent about how much he treasures the moments he spent with her, and how he wants to protect her. Yes, Hope loves Lightning, that's not a scoop, but it feels good to get it confirmed again! ❀️


In Act 3, we got to see something more significant: Lightning being all worried and loosing her stoicism when Hope bid her farewell without an explanation (it was actually to prevent hurting her). She even asked Snow to take the lead, because she couldn't guide anyone in her current state! 😲


And in the end of Act 3, sneaky SE left a hint about the ending of LR that you can only understand if you 've played the JP versions of both games: after saving Hope, there is a focus on Lightning and him, and she says "Sore wo tsutaeru tame ni, ai ni kitta, Hope." (Litt: To tell you that, I've come to see you, Hope) which completes her unfinished sentence "Aa , ai ni iku yo" ("Yes, I'm coming to see you") from the ending of LR. This just confirms what the LR novel suggested , with Lightning having met everyone but Hope , and at the end , the journalist says she's on her way to see someone. 🀩

Anyway, if you're not into LightxHope , don't mind my fangirling lol! But I seriously enjoyed these chapters as much as I enjoyed the Hopurai content in the trilogy!


Apart from FF9 and FF13 chapters, I really liked the FF6 one we got in Act 3 ch 2. It really felt as a new fragment of FF6, and the Locke x Celes fanservice was awesome! It kinda made up for the lack of scenes these two have in FF6. I also enjoyed Terra and Celes's interactions in it, and Celes being honest with her feelings for Locke! Seeing the FF6 team interact with the FF12 team was very nice too! πŸ˜‰

Oh, and that little chapter in which Celes sings her Opera song to my favourite FF9 team, Zidane/Garnet/Vivi/Eiko. That was adorable! 😊

FF15 may not be among my favourite, but I found myself enjoying many FF15 chapters ! It was so cool to see Noctis' bromance with Noel and Locke, and he finally got to talk to his dear Luna in flesh and blood! We even saw Luna interact with Ignis, Gladio and Prompto, and she was too kind with Ardyn! Gentiana was missing though, that's a shame...

I also appreciated how one of the most underrated FFs, FF Type 0, got some recognition ! It was so good and sad to see Machina meet again with Class Zero , after the tragic ending of FFType 0! Would have wanted some more MachinaxRem moments , but it rather focused on Machina being guilty for what he did to the Class Zero members. Still, it was very enjoyable ! Oh and love how Leila from FF2 got some screentime with them!

I probably forgot some other favourite moments , but these are the ones I really enjoyed! Good thing we can still watch it , even when the game will disappear.


What about you? What were your favourite moments in Opera Omnia ?

Hi everyone!


Well, if you've seen my latest fanarts and read the description, maybe yo know I'm currently replaying my favourite videogame, aka Final Fantasy IX! Those who've been following me for years know how much I love this game, it's like the closest thing to perfection ! No matter how old I am when playing it, I always find myself enjoying it as much as when I first played it back in 2001! 🩷

There is so much to say about FF9: the characters, the story, the art direction, the music, the cinematic cutscenes, it's absolutely incredible ! πŸ’«

And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way about FF9, I know that many of you have FF9 as their favourite game too!


So let's be honest, I just want to talk about this gem with fans, so share with me your thoughts on FF9. If you don't know where to start, how about answering this:

- who's your favourite FF9 character and why?

- What is your favourite moment ?

- what's your favourite location?

- favourite pairing in the game ?

- What would you want to change in the FF9 Remake, if it turns to be real?


Square Enix, WHeRE is my FF9 Remake ??

Hi everyone !


We all remember that Square Enix announced in 2021 that they are working on an animated series of Final Fantasy IX. It's been a while and we still don't even know what to expect from the French studio in charge of it. There is also a rumor that Square is working on an FF9 Remake, but no confirmation yet.


So fans got tired of waiting for Square Enix to announce something , and decided to make their own Remake. The result is stunning, you can't even tell that it's fan-made!

Okay guys, I usually don't make these kind of post, but I really need to get this off my chest. Especially since it seems like you can't give your honest opinion on FF16 elsewhere without being insulted by FF16 fanboys. But let's hope Deviantart is a safer place.


You probably remember that I had wrote a journal entry about my thoughts on FF16 after I saw the 2nd trailer. I was already worried with the direction it seemed to take, looking very , very far from what I expected. However, I was willing to give it a chance to impress me with more trailers, some that would focus more on the characters and the story.


We're less than one month away from the release of FF16, and with all the trailers we got lately, the interviews and other stuff, I can definitely say I won't buy or play that game.

Not only because it looks nothing like Final Fantasy, the series I fell in love with when I was a child, but also because it steps on lands that I do not tolerate in the video games I play.


We learned a while ago that it would be rated Mature, but I thought it would be something like FF Type 0, 17+. Never did I expect to see themes like "gore, sex, blood and violence, prostitution " in a Final Fantasy game! Like, when you click on the FF16 trailer, you get notified about unhealthy content, how in the world could Nomura, Square Enix 's boss, let this happen?? Where did Yoshida get the stupid idea that the Final Fantasy fanbase was also fan of Attack on Titans or Game of Thrones ?


To be honest, if there were such themes in FF7 Rebirth, I would still buy it, and try to skip the moments that make me feel ill at ease. Because I know that the characters are worth it anyway. But with Final Fantasy 16, the more trailers I saw , the bitter the reality became.

The characters are totally unappealing to me, whether it's Clive, Benedikta or the others. I had a few expectation for Jill since I liked her child design, but her adult design didn't convince me. I'm not a fan at all of Clive's adult design, he looks like a generic character from FF14. Joshua is cute, but it really seems like he's only here to suffer, so I don't even want to get attached to him. And I don't find the graphics impressive at all for a Ps5 game: FF7 Remake on PS4 looked way more polished than that.


The dark , mature tone of the game is something I hated ever since the first trailer. I mean, we did get lots of FFs that were quite dark, like FF12, FFType 0 or even Lightning Returns . But in each of these games, there was still a lot of funny, cute and happy moments. I couldn't see anything in the FF16 trailers that made me feel that way. This game is going to be about war, people fighting and dying, people being harassed, Eikons killing each other, and this is not the kind of content I could bear for random characters that I don't even like.


The only thing thay may catch my attention someday is the OST, cause I did find a few trailer tracks enjoyable.


As a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, who has played almost every game, from the numbered ones to the spin-off ones, it hurts to say that. But FF16 is NOT a Final Fantasy game for me. Throwing Prelude and FF Main theme arrangements to our face is not gonna buy me . And stupid people on YouTube, Reddit or elsewhere who attack anyone not fanboying about this game won't change my mind.


There is only one positive thing in FF16's release: Square will get rid of it and finally start focusing on the games I'm waiting for, aka FF7 Rebirth and KH4.


I hope I didn't hurt anyone with this post, but I had to write it, and see if there are other people who share my opinion.

2022 had its ups and downs, but let's focus on the positive things !

We got news about FF7 Rebirth and KH4 ! And while I'm not hyped for FF16, I'm glad it will release soon for those who like it! Hopefully we'll get new trailers for those games soon !


And Crisis Core got a very nice Remaster, here is hoping we'll get more Remakes (FF9? FF6? )



Anyway, stay positive, and have a beautiful Year! And thank you so much for all the comments and the faves !! You don't know how encouraging it is! :)
