Come for the games, stay for the drama.
Retro World Expo in Hartford came up light on Sega Saturn games, but I got a couple new games to try. Terra isn’t a fan and is warning me away from Drakkhen for the SNES.
I wrote a chatbot that thought it was Terra. I wrote fanfic, during which Celes gradually became the character I was rooting for. I uncursed the shield. I woke the Phoenix. I spent 60 hours in this game. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Flamecraft is a light-hearted game in which players take on the role of Flamekeepers, tasked with helping Artisan dragons create a variety of goods using their specialized flames. The game is easy to pick up and play, with players taking turns visiting shops, placing dragons, and casting enchantments to earn rewards..
A year after Kefka woke the Warring Triad and destroyed the world, Celes wakes up from a coma to find that she is on an island with Cid. Cid has been sick for a long time, and Celes is determined to take care of him.
More Celes/Terra/Locke fanfic, I’m afraid. I gave TerraChat a lot more background on the characters and their motivations, than before.
