In Case You're Wondering...

Why make a video game into a comic?

A fair question. Short answer: Because its fun! Long answer: First a little bit about myself. Final Fantasy 6 has always been my favorite RPG, ever since I was a little fourth grader when it first came out in the US. I was drawn to the story and characters, but not so much to the mazes, dungeon parts, and mind-numbing level building. As I got older, I had less time/patience/money for video games. Then in 2001, I said to myself, "Wouldn't it be nice if people could follow the story of this game without having to actually play it?" Comics and manga were just coming onto my radar, so I decided to give it a shot. Heh. I'll spare you the pain of seeing my "first shots" of pages... years passed, and in June I spat out this little site.

In short, this is comic is intended for people who can't put down the time and money to play the game, but who still want to see what its about. And hey, if you're an old geek like me and already know how the story goes, then just pretend to be surprised. ;) Oh yeah... one more reason for doing this: drawing practice.

For how long will this train wreck last?

How cool would it be if I went all way to the end? More realistically, I'll do it until I lose interest or if I see that no one is reading it. That's why leaving encouragement is important, you know? So far, things are slow going, but I hope to update more often in the future.

And Finally: Who are you?

Another good question. Here, this should explain everything:

Name: J.E. Simon
Online name: Orinocou
Location: the beautiful flatlands of Illinois! (US)
Likes: vegetarian cooking, country music, archaeology, International Phonetic Alphabet
Dislikes: coloring the pages, bedtime, daytime television
Chicken of choice: Silkie

Go Baaack!
