idk man im just tryna vibe

my first impressions:

- i love love love the way the character models grow/shrink as you move across the pre-painted backgrounds; it really gives you a sense of how huge and oppressive these dystopian city environments are. i cannot begin to imagine how insanely cool this must've looked to people first playing this in the 90s.

- judging by the big hair and big sword, i was sure cloud was gonna be the typical, energetic shounen protagonist type, but his personality is so different (and more intriguing) than i expected! very excited to see where his character arc goes :>

calling wanderer "sweetheart" as your daily affirmation to him that, although he was born without a literal human heart, you see the hidden kindness in him, and in that sense, he has a bigger "heart" than many people you know

and something stirs in his mechanical chest every time he hears you say it
