I don't understand the men who feel lost in their identity, like they don't know who to be, like they don't know how to find love.

There's a whole manual that tells you. It's called Lord of the Rings. Just be Samwise Gamgee.

They even made movies about Sam. They're pretty good movies.
Question, for anyone who knows: is it worth playing the original Tactics or "War of the Lions" rather than playing the more up-to-date "Ivalice Chronicles"?
- FF Tactics (part of the Ivalice Alliance sub-series): 1997-1998
- Tactics “Advance”: 2003
- Tactics A2, “Grimoire of the Rift”: 2007-2008
- “The War of the Lions” (update and expansion of Tactics): 2007
- “The Ivalice Chronicles” (another update and expansion of Tactics): Sep 30, 2025

It seems like the most accessible way to experience this series is:
- FF7 (original) (✅️ Android)
- Advent Children Complete (probably covered in Ever Crisis, but why not? ✅️ Available to rent on Amazon Prime)
- Ever Crisis (✅️ mobile gacha game)
- The Remake trilogy (2 of 3 released)
- FF7: 1997 💚

With FF7, we are introduced to the “Ivalice Alliance.” The world of Ivalice is the setting of FF7, Tactics, and FF12.

I am NOT typing out the whole Compilation of other FF7 media lol. here:

On Android:
✅️ Chrono Trigger
❌️ Radical Dreamers
❌️ Chrono Cross (partly a remake of Radical Dreamers)

✅️ The 16-minute OVA "Dimensional Adventure Numa Monjar" is on YouTube
Chrono Trigger was released in 1995 with a “Dream Team” of creators behind Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu did the music for Chrono Trigger as well. It's frequently considered a kind of honorary Final Fantasy game.

Main series:

In 1991, Square released “Final Fantasy Adventure,” intending for it to be a side-story for Final Fantasy. After the first game, it dropped the Final Fantasy association and became its own series: “Mana” (Secret of Mana, Legend of Mana, etc)

I played FF1 (emulator). It's fine.
I couldn't make it through FF2 (mobile).
I'm currently suffering through FF3 (mobile).

And I guess I'll have to play FF4, watch a YouTube walk-through of "Interlude", and then play "After Years."
- Final Fantasy: 1987 JP, 1990 NA
- FF2: 1988 JP, 2003 NA
- FF3: 1990 JP, 2006 NA

- FF4: 1991
- FF4 “The After Years”: 2008
- FF4 “The Complete Collection”: 2011 (includes both of the above, along with “FF4 Interlude” to link them together)

Okay, autism activated. The following is posted in release date by title, but with other works in that title grouped together (for instance, all the FF13's are together). I have not included canceled, terminated, or delisted projects.
Allegedly Chrono Trigger is the best Final Fantasy game :p I haven't played it either!

You got me curious, though:
- FF4 came out in both JP and NA in 1991.
- FF5: JP in 1992, but not in NA until *1999!*
- FF6: both 1994
- FF7: both 1997

And one every 1-4 years since.

This isn't exactly "breaking news" to anyone. But, a visual:

The yellow post-its indicate chapters dedicated to the "Three Hunters" (Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli).

Blue indicates the Other Hobbits (Merry & Pippin).

Green is when those two groups join together.

And pink is for Frodo, Sam, and Gollum.

Fun fact: it's not that I'm "not gonna" lie. I'm just terrible at it.

I'm beginning to think the real determinant of each Age in this legendarium is whether the Elves have yet asked, "Do we leave Middle-Earth to its fate? Do we let them stand alone?"

I will tell you the tale of the carrots tomorrow. They were fine for Partner's purposes, but no, this was not a success lol
Partner will be over for the soup part, and has requested a reasonable accommodation: they'd like me to caramelize the carrots. NOT with any kind of glaze--just carrots slowly turning their starches to sugars.

This isn't a "difficult" requested--except I've never done it before. Wish me luck?

Some of you entertained the idea of doing one full-day marathon of Lord of the Rings. I understand that desire and support you!!! But I believe you now see, as I am 3 hours into FOTR XR with 6 hours having passed, that this is simply beyond me.
Happy A Shortcut to Mushrooms day to all who celebrate.

FOTR SUPPLEMENT #3: BRANDYWINE

Step 1: Brandy
Step 2: Wine
Step 3 (optional): Fresh or frozen fruit

Drink with caution; it goes down so smoothly you won't feel like you're getting drunk until you're singing showtunes at 2 AM before passing out on the couch
