A Dreamer's Journey Through Worlds
Not a review site. Not a news outlet. A traveller's journal — written in campfire light, between one world and the next, with a wolf who never lets me walk alone.

✦ Featured Chronicle
Ten years later, I still can't explain to people why I cried at the ending of Final Fantasy X. Not without sounding like I've lost the plot. So I stopped trying to explain it — and started writing it down instead. This is where it begins.
✦ World Report
Final Fantasy IX didn't feel like a game. It felt like being handed a key to a world that had always existed, just out of sight.
✦ Field Notes
They brought it back, and somehow it feels even more melancholy. The fog is still there. So is the music. So is that ache of a summer that never quite ends.
✦ Lore Deep Dive
Jungian archetypes. The Shadow self. The cost of wearing a mask too long. Atlus somehow hid philosophy class inside a dungeon crawler.
✦ Upcoming Watch
Sixty-six days left to live. A world blending steampunk and Chinese mythology. This might be the most exciting action RPG since Elden Ring.
✦ Upcoming Watch
The studio that made the most literary RPG ever created is back. The question isn't whether it'll be good — it's whether it can be that good again.

✦ Chapter I — Final Fantasy X
I was fourteen when I first heard "To Zanarkand." Not in a concert hall, not through headphones carefully chosen for audio quality — through a television speaker in a small room, the volume turned low so I wouldn't wake anyone. And still it hit like something breaking open.
Final Fantasy X is, at its core, a game about grief. About the things we carry from people we've lost. Tidus is a ghost who doesn't know he's a ghost. Yuna is a girl who has been taught to smile while walking toward her own death. And somehow, between the Blitzball and the turn-based battles and the Al Bhed cipher, Nobuo Uematsu and Masashi Hamauzu made you feel every single word of it without saying anything at all.
I've tried to explain this to people who haven't played it. I've mostly failed. So I stopped explaining — and started writing it down instead. This is where that begins.
