Description Mr. 288 told me that I understand what it means to live and to die... But it's only because I thought stopping was different from dying...
I don't think I really understand what it means to live and to die. Where do we come from...? Do we go back there when we die...?
If that's what it means to live... I wonder where I came from...? Where will I end up when I die...?
Why am I shaking...?
What is it that I'm feeling...?

My favorite final fantasy character, vivi from final fantasy 9.

If you haven't played the game you probably won't get it. Anyway, made me realize that I've never actually drawn vivi, the outrage!

Yes he does. Though I'm still not sure how he pulled that of.

And I'm loving your avatar!

Thank you.

I know, and he does stop at the end of the game. I nearly cried the first time I played it through.(I was around 12 I think )

Thanks. I don't even remember how many times I've finished the game. The fantastic thing is, evertime you play it, you find something new you missed the last time.

Yep, and not only is he the cutest, but I find his backstory to be very compelling.

oh really?? How's the story?? (i don't know... >.<

Tamateke In reply to kago-woo [2008-11-06 09:25:37 +0000 UTC]

Well, long story short, he's basicly a weapon, created to serve the highest buyer. But he doesn't know this as he got seperated from the shipment accidently. A whole bunch were created, but they "stop"(die) 1 year after production. He's a prototype so he'll live longer but he'll eventually stop too. (which he does at the end of the game, we don't actually see this but it's implied)

This picture is of the cemetery in a village of some of the black mages that became "aware" like him. Because they ussualy don't show emotions.

There's a lot more too it but that's the gist of it.

That's what I love about the game. It's full of humor but actually sad at the same time.

I love that moon! And you're right, you never drew vivi before! Shame on you! Well, it's a great scene in the game, and you put some funny accents in the picture I like that shawl...
