My Empire of Dirt —Astos from FF
Astos from the game Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin by Team Ninja, Koei and Square enix.
I love playing FF’s Dissidia Opera Omnia game and Astos just debuted. He’s hype because of his ridiculous amount of damage output. I was intrigued by his chapter story— loved his creepy theme music— and so decided to read about his character and game.
Talk about tragic 😭 the flashback after his battle was emotional and sad... even to someone who hadn’t played the game. So naturally I really like him lol 😂
His theme is perfect for viewing this piece:
“Astos’ Theme”: https://open.spotify.com/track/3e2JlJEviF5XKq9pDmokB5?si=SZ2j1lAxSuKHH0LrsxAa0g
And title comes from
“Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails: https://open.spotify.com/track/2fXmyEIE6AtoGdo5Dm69y2?si=XqMZ_i2lRZ2AuFv2ZNN1BQ
And for the hell of it, because it’s gorgeous song:
“The Gates of Disorder” by Gunship: https://open.spotify.com/track/6zgxiWMDeja1zNp7ulI9uf?si=NRzQJZsmRRuY4YD1eXFWcA
Drawn in Procreate, please enjoy!

FF8 Theory - The True Origin of Sorceresses
Tumblr media
In the background of Final Fantasy 8, they tell the origin of the Sorceresses and it's rooted in the story of a being known as the Great Hyne. Here's what we first hear in Balamb:
Tumblr media
That's the basic story in the beginning. We more details later in the game in the White SeeD ship. Let me summarize:
Th Legend of Vascaroon says Hyne was the ruler of the world that created Humans. Like before, Hyne surrendered half his body, then there was a war for control of that half. Vascaroon was the one that pointed out - what was left behind was Hyne's skin. (Maybe not his entire half-body.)
The ultimania books have one final version of the story called -
Aru Hi no Garden no Jugyō Fūkei
The story says Hyne created the world, created Humans to work for him because he were tired. While Hyne was asleep, Humans ran the world on their own. When he awoke, Hyne was startled by their numbers, so he tried exterminating their young, and the humans started to turn against him.
Hyne bargains for the end of the war by willingly giving up half his body, and telling the early humans they would have half his powers. There was another war, and then Vascaroon, who was a sage, says the "half" of Hyne's body is just his cast off skin. This is how the persecution of Magic Users / Sorceresses began.
When you read all three stories, it becomes clear that these are ancient tales that have become distorted over time. The real details have been lost. Maybe it was all bullshit made up to persecute women.
However, I ask you now to look at Ultimecia's Final Form:
Tumblr media
That looks like half a magical parasite growing out of Ultimecia's normal body. And it looks like it's missing part of it's skin, don't you think?
So, Hyne was probably real. And, that begs the question, who or what is Hyne, really?
Final Fantasy takes place in a Multiverse, and across the various games, we have seen strange entities similar to how Hyne was described.
Tumblr media
The fact that it was so old and wants to kill humans for overpopulating and altering the world, did make me think that Hyne could be a Weapon. But, Weapons seldom show true sentience and the ability to scheme, so it is highly unlikely Hyne was a Weapon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In between the alternate dimensions of the Final Fantasy Multiverse there is The Void where strange and powerful entities live. And they love to consume everything and leave everything in darkness. But, they're not known to scheme or bargain like Hyne did. So, it's a possibility, but a tad unlikely.
Not unless the whole beginning part of the myth is false. Like Hyne wasn't the creator of humans. Maybe it was an entity like Cloud of Darkness, it awoke, humans fought and won, then fought over its body, thinking it would give them powers.
But, then, why would Hyne exist as a parasite in sorceresses? Like we see in Ultimecia?
Tumblr media
Let's talk about Jenova. "The Crisis from the Sky" is an alien lifeform that arrived in the ancient times of FF7. It is fairly powerful, but not all powerful. It was known to shapeshift, but Jenova also has the ability to survive being cut to pieces. Exposure to Jenova's cell's (or a virus) causes people to transform into monsters.
And we see a few other sorceresses in FF8, that are steadily becoming more monstrous:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes. I'd have to speculate that Jenova is the closest thing to Hyne. The might have been the same species, or something similar. Hyne probably arrived from outer space in the ancient times. It might have been injured or just asleep when it first arrived.
When it awoke, it started killing people. This drove the humans to corner it and kill it. Then they fought over the remains of the body, thinking it would give them magical powers. the carcass had no powers, but later women started to manifest magic and turning into monsters and that's what started the persecution of the Sorceresses.
Sorceresses in FF8 have to pass on their powers to another sorceress before they pass on. This is what passes the Hyne parasite on to the next person, and is somewhat similar to Jenova's Reunion ability.
What we see manifesting in Ultimecia is Hyne's true final form. It's been gestating inside of Ultimecia for a long time, finally growing powerful enough to absorb all of existence, and yet it still bears the scars from the original war.
At least that's my interpretation.

This is not what Gaius had in mind when he agreed to 'take a bigger role' in the Ultima Project...

I once had a dream, and then thought a little, about making goofy little charms of my favourite FFXIV robots. And then I did it. And you know what? It feels good. Don't let your dreams be dreams. If you want to own some robots (but they're small), you can get 'em all here.
Here's my very early concepts, which are cute and funny to look at:

This was a big project I did over the summer: hand-painted Keyblade keychains! I had these unpainted Keyblades in my closet for the longest time, and I decided to paint them up and make them pretty!
These were painted with oil-based and water-based paint markers. The paint markers gave me a greater amount of control when painting the smaller details. I also added charms that look like the in-game Keyblades’ keychains! Fun fact: I had to use a teapot charm for Three Wishes since it was the closest thing I could find to a magic lamp!
(Pssst, you can find these guys in my shop)

I played Kingdom Hearts 3 after a long time, forgetting what I was doing, then remembered having had to play the game on critical mode to finally get Oblivion at some point.
At least I had the Ultima Weapon, but I forgot to replay Kingdom Hearts 3 Remind.
