Hey, thank you for the follow; I enjoyed poking around the site so far! (I had to track the site itself down through your profile's update feed, though, as I couldn't find any way to get to it from the index page; that might be intentional if you want to finish building the site before adding an entry point, but I thought I'd better point it out just in case.) Looking forward to watching this place evolve!

You're welcome! :-) And I do like that magazine cover, but it is strange that Zell was left out. He didn't do anything to deserve that!

Excited to see the update, from one Balamb Garden to another! I'm always so thrilled to see discussion of Final Fantasy VIII in this day and age; it's such a beautiful, strange, intricate game, and it means a lot to me. Glad you had a good time in Ireland, too!

Thank you so much! FFVIII means a lot to me, too, and I'm glad it hasn't been totally forgotten or overshadowed by the games that preceded and followed it. Also, I don't think I've said this to you before, but your site is awesome! I really like the way you've based its layout on Balamb Garden itself. You've done a great job with it. :-) And yes, Ireland was amazing! I can't wait to go back.

Congratulations on finishing your TWEWY journal! I got excited whenever I saw an update. It's one of my favourite games of all time, and this was such a fun tribute to it! (I don't know if it's ever been officially stated, but I always assumed that the background tracks as you explore and fight are what Neku is listening to on his headphones, and that's why they're randomised rather than tied to location.)

Your comic is so charming to see, I love the dedication you had to drawing so much of the game despite the, um...artistic limitations LOL. I definitely have similar terrible teenage art projects but none that ever got so far...

@finalfantasyix - I wish you could see how much this made me smile! I'm sure teenage me would be glad to know her terrible drawings eventually found an appreciative audience.
Hi- Thank you so much for the feedback! The missing index page was intentional- I have one made already but I never got around to adding it because I'm missing a proper "Welcome" image, plus I also wanted to get a little further in before truly opening it up. Thank you again!
