Been volunteering for tattoo students, so I designed what will probably be my next tattoo for that. I figured I'd pay homage to my namesake.

Hey Final Fantasy Unlimited fans, I recently purchased the Twin Bonds / 双の絆 Novel and Thought I'd quickly upload the images within the book. I fully intend to create the wiki page for it since there isn't one but I ideally would like to get some higher quality photos beforehand. Though, I'm unsure how I'd do that without a scanner, and without damaging the book.

I'll add some images of the cover below via reblog.

@druidquest replied to your post “@wearesummoner, @we-are-artillerist, could I interest either of you in...”

VINCENT VALENTINE???

Girrrrrrrrl, it’s worse than that.

Here, have a seat and let me tell you about an anime that’s so dumb it’s genius: Final Fantasy Unlimited (FFU from here on out -- because).

There are four main characters:

Ai (the redheaded girl) and Yu (the boy) Hayakawa. They’re twins. They have basically no personality beyond gender (and hair color) and no powers beyond the magic items they get as the show goes on.

Ai (”Love”) is “fiery” but practical. Her item is PoshePocket, a living bag of devouring which sometimes gives her hammerspace items.

Yu (”Courage”) is more impulsive but quicker to trust. He gets a magical feather which lets him communicate with Chobi.

Chobi is the chocobo biting Ai’s hair (a running gag). His only power is being a “Ciel Chocobo” (having flight armor).

Tifa Lockhart Tifa by way of Aerith Lisa Pacifist, a special operative who is trained in the Kigen Arts (which she mainly uses to erect force fields). She acts like their babysitter, basically.

...and...

Vincent Valentine Kuroki Kaze (”Black Wind” and translated as such in the dub), who is usually just called Kaze (in both).

He’s an Unlimited. We’re not really sure what that is, but we do know that they are basically indestructible and have some other powers -- in his case, the magun (maybe -- other people can use it, but it doesn’t usually work out well for them). He’s amnesiac, barely speaks, exhibits almost no personality or emotions, and yet is the best main character.

Plot

After a pair of dragon kaiju attacked our world, the Hayakawa twins’ parents go missing, so the two go looking for them. Lisa runs into them as she’s trying to do her job and the three wind up on a train which takes them to a mysterious place called Wonderland. They go wandering around trying to figure out what the Hell is going on in this place (and find the missing Hayakawa parents) and run into danger. Kaze (whom they had encountered previously) appears in the nick of time, is mildly surprised when the prosthetic on his arm “moves,” and then goes through a transformation/summoning sequence (partially seen in the other post).

This formula happens almost once an episode. There aren’t very many episodes in which it doesn’t happen and they tend to be either very plot-heavy or boring. The show goes on like this for 25 episodes as the main characters with dialogue (from our world) become more and more embroiled in the machinations of the Earl Tyrant and his Four Lords of Gaudium, who have nefarious plans involving Chaos.

You can imagine why this show got cancelled as quickly as it did, but you’d be wrong! In fact, the show didn’t get canceled so much as defunded -- because of how badly Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within flopped in the box office. The show condenses its original two seasons (52 episodes) into one season and drops a lot of info. Much of that would later get released in various other formats.

Oh, and if you thought that Kaze and Lisa were the only Final Fantasy VII allusions, may I introduce you to Kaze’s rival and fellow Unlimited, Makenshi (~”Magic Swordsman”), aka Shiroi Kumo/White Cloud?

A taciturn, powerful swordsman with spiky hair, a bishounen countenance, and some access to magic (in his case, he breathes Mist, which he can use to summon Mist Dragons). He has another rival in the form of his brother, Madoushi (”Mage”), aka Akai Kiri (”Red Mist”), who is similar but red (hair and clothes), has long hair (an anime mullet), and is thoroughly evil (IIRC).

So Cloud Strife by way of Mytho from Princess Tutu.

(Technically, he’s also a protagonist. Further spoilers.)

Why do I mention the show ever?

Because as dumb looking as the conspicuous CGI summons are and as over the top as the summoning sequences may be, it’s a lot of fun to watch Kaze declare which colored bullets he’s going to use to summon stuff.

And by “stuff,” I include Phoenix (as shown), Titan (a robot...), and Meteor Master (which is a barely recognizable Tonberry before it screams; launches itself into the sky; and rains fiery, meteoritic ruination upon the land).

Hey I'm rambling in another post and I keep using the phrase "Main Party" of the series and I just thought I should explain that Kumo and Kaze are not the main characters of the series but actually kinda side characters that just show up and save / help || destroy / mess up plans for the main party instead.

So when I talk about the main characters / main party of FFU I mean these three:

Lisa Pacifist, Ai Hayakawa, and Yu Hayakawa

+

Chobi the Chocobo

FFU is a series about these twins and their journey into Wonderland to find their missing parents, Mary and Joe Hayakawa. Lisa joins them episode 1 and decides to stay with them to help protect them. Kumo and Kaze keep just appearing along the way, mostly by circumstance.

Kaze and Kumo spend 90% of the series focused on each other and where one appears the other follows, (should the situation allow.) So when I say "The main party" in any of my posts - I repeat - I don't mean Kaze OR Kumo. I mean these four because the reality of the situation is that FFU is about them.
