#ffviii18th

To wish everyone an happy new year, here we are with my third and final tribute for the charity fanzine LuxItineris, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of FinalFantasy !!! : D <3 

Final Fantasy VIII has been my first FF and this characters were my first companions in the journey to discover this saga, that's became part of me since then <3

This 2017 has been definitely the Final Fantasy's year for me. From Let's play event in Rome, to Distant Worlds(Milan), from my Waltz for the Moon's sketchbook for the FF30th anniversary and at last my visit at SE in Japan. An year with a truly extraordinary journey: very busy, complicated, full of anxieties and doubts (especially anxieties XD) but even more full of HUGE satisfaction, both professional and not, particulary just for the fact that I've faced and overcome the difficulties.

The trip that I did alone in Japan, the bet that I've made on myself, was one of the best experiences that could happen to me. Most of all I'm happy about the fact that I've demonstrated to myself that I can do many things that I've never think to be able to do before, and who know me a little, undestands what I'm talking about : °) If I had said to the fourteen-year-old me that I would have shown my works at the Square Enix team, I would have probably laughted of myself X°D I know that I've still a lot of work to do, so I pray to have an extraordinary 2018 and I'll work twice as much to make it possible, hoping to make more steps forward! I wish for this to all of you, and if you haven't already done, I recommend with all my heart to do a solo trip sooner or later, and to bet on you and something you believe. You'll understand better who you are and discover the strength inside you : 3!

from the @ff30thfanzine site: “Final Fantasy is a franchise by Square Enix that is well-loved all around the world. Many of us grew up fighting bombs and cactuars while trying to save the world from dark destruction, and learned what it means to work together and face your own darknesses. […] Also, in line with Final Fantasy’s recurring themes of friendship, peace, and helping those in need, we will be donating all proceeds of the pre-order purchases to Doctors without borders!”

Love is in the air this month <3 :)
