SHE'S TRYING TO KISS YOU, YOU DUMBASS. Clive Rosfield, totally oblivious, ladies and gentlemen. #FF16

(ps, is jill shadowheart's voice actor? she sounds so familiar to me.) #FF16

good to see Vivi's still out there getting work (poor guy...) #FF16

well that-- that wasn't what I was expecting at all. #FF16

press t to accept the truth. #FF16 (I mean!!!!!! why did it make me hit a button!?!?!?!? I love this game)

lol why did I get an achievement for it!? #FF16

cidolfus, what's in the box???

*gasp* we held hands! I'm so proud!

WHY WOULD THE MUSIC DO THAT TO ME!?

"and she's quite a woman, if you know what I mean."
Clive has no idea what you mean, sir. this sweet summer childe only just figured out holding hands with a girl he's had a crush on since he was 15 was, like, a thing you could do.

wow, I think I just ruined that child's life. and for a side quest too. (I mean, good, she needed her values realigned, but like, yikes.)

"So to hell with talking." Cid is the hero we need in 2025. (^_^)

okay, after 13.5 hours of playing this game, my further thoughts: once you get out of those first few hours, the pacing is much better. the events keep coming, but at a less exhausting pace. the voice acting is still amazing, Jill is A+++, Cidolfus Telamon is AAA+, and Torgul is, was, and ever shall be Goodest Boy. #FF16

also, this game continues to look amazing. #FF16

uh, cidney? cid? cidolfus?

five years later? I'm... sorry???

Goetz is a cuddly teddy bear and I hope he gets everything he wants out of life.

next time, leave the chocobos alone, that's all I'm saying.

"Is it safe?"
Jill. Dear Jill. My sweet child.
