I think about the oral history of FFVII alllll the time. Read through it last time I played through the game. So stoked that you’re continuing this work, its really a blindspot for the medium

Its easy to imagine how insufferable he wouldve been to work with 😭

I played through this, I found it really charming. Theres an insane rant from one of the developers hidden in the game — you have to wait an hour and a half after the credits end and press a string of inputs along the way youtu.be/lOb1iMMUSqc?...

homophobia and transphobia are a reaction against bodily autonomy and happiness itself. they want to torture us as an extension of the way they torture themselves.
