Revisiting Old Friends, Part Three

[rynling]

I have spent so much time during the past few years writing about horrible and difficult and unpleasant people that I forgot how lovely it is to write about someone who is thoroughly decent and good-natured.

Gosh I just really like Sabin a lot.

I’ve been dragging my feet on getting started with this story, and my entry point ended up being Sabin and Edgar having a conversation about geography. It’s a good conversation.

It’s weird that I can still remember the exact layout of the FFVI world map, as well as how everything shifts during the second half of the game. Somehow I still remember the layout of the Ancient Castle as well.

Just imagine how powerful I would be if I knew actual things about the real world instead of 16-bit video game geography and the movesets of several hundred pokémon.

I, too, have spent so much of my mental hard drive space on 16-bit video game geography. Want to know where to fight specific enemies in FF4 or 6? I got you. *sigh*
