While I've been writing the essay about Ender Lilies, I realized something interesting about its sequel, Ender Magnolia. Ender Magnolia is currently only available in an abbreviated early-access version on Steam, so I can't say anything definitive, but the game has a lot of subtle (and not-so-subtle) references to Final Fantasy VI.
What's really cool to me is that I think Ender Magnolia is meant to be speculation on what the world of Final Fantasy VI was like in the immediate aftermath of the War of the Magi. That's something I've always wondered about, and it's cool to see that fantasy realized in such a visually beautiful game that's also a lot of fun to play (and, mercifully, not punishingly difficult).Also sword lesbians
