I wish I could teleport this stuff to 1992

So, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is disturbingly close to stuff I would've come up with if the concept of fanfics existed when I was twelve. Because I would've totally made up the son of Cecil and Rosa who has ADVENTURES and re-visiting all the old areas from the original game BUT THEY'RE HARDER AND HAVE NEW STUFF IN THEM, and gratuitous cameos from the old cast. I would go into more detail but I don't want to spoil anything, despite the fact that everything that has happened so far probably crossed my mind at some point in what could happen in "Final Fantasy III".

In other words, it's perfect.

Maybe this is what some people felt when they watched Advent Children or played FFX-2... okay so probably doubtful on that last one.

As soon as I get some money I'm getting the shit out of that.

It's kind of weird how much I'm getting in to all this extra FFIV stuff now it was never really my favorite in the past.

There was a point in time where I, shall we say... lost appreciation for FFIV, although I guess it was just a result of playing the shit out of it when I was younger and getting a little sick of it, and moving on to subsequent FFs and other RPGs.

But it was a huge game for me back in the day and I still regard it as my favorite game. The recent DS remake and now The After Years cements that even further for me. But these two games were so well-done that I'm glad non-diehard FF4 fans can get into them ;D
