Exposition on Ch. 1: Picky, Picky
Sorry, scanner's broke again. So we'll go on yet another hiatus now and--
GOTCHA!
Heh. Actually, my scanner did give me a scare, but I fixed it quick, so no biggie.
You'll notice that today's page has a pretty heavy influence of manga. I didn't mean for it to, but it just sorta came out that way. As usual, I didn't like this page when I first started it, but I feel it came out rather well.
Cloud gets today's award for Most Angsty and Dirty Looks. Heh.

Exposition on Ch. 1: "Of What I Really Am..."
Today is a matter of fond memories...sorta.
The title of today's, for instance. There's a really long story behind it, but bottom line, I got to hear that song by Nickelback recently, and I thought it sorta fit for Sephiroth.
The others are the images I yanked right from Final Fantasy Vii. We all remember that famous scene, when Sephiroth halted the summoning of Holy (and if you don't know what I mean by that, then I can't tell you). I don't care too much for the placement of the final Aeris picture, but the multiple shot of Sephiroth dropping from above was nifty. I feel that got its point across.
I used the famous power of Copy and Paste AGAIN (so lazy, lol). Overall, I enjoyed today's page--came out better than I had hoped.
And yes, you get to see Cid's announcement of the teams very soon. I know it sounds as if we already passed that part, but we haven't--we're coming to it.

Exposition on Ch. 1: Clingy
Well, I like some parts of today's and other parts I don't. As always, heh.
Originally, Auron was going to be in the first panel, so you could see who Rikku was running to. But Freya was already crowding the scene up and you could guess from the red edge balloon, sooooo...
I also tweaking some of the original writing from the three entries included in today's strip. Mostly just removed the continous (repetitive) citation of Cid reading the teams off. I also threw a lot of Rikku's "teehees" out (sorry, KittyLynn).
Once again, we do NOT condone a AuronxRikku storyline here, so would someone kindly thwap Zidane and Zell and let us get on with the comic already?
Till next update! ^_~
(And happy late B-day, BBaka/Zell!)

Exposition on Chapter 1: Airship Rumble and Ch. 1: Whose Fault?
YES! WE'RE BACK!
AGAIN!
I sorta know what I did to make my scanner behave again, which is good--1oo less dollars to lose over the holidays. Now let's just hope it behaves for another few months, so we can get through the first few challenges.
Our next page will show us how the teams get divided more or less (though the Chapter Image will also provide that information, if you look closely) and the challenge forthcoming. Doesn't that just sound all dramatic. ^^;
Anyways, thanks to everyone for their patience and support.
And if anyone knows how to do the mailto: HTML tag, please let me know.

Exposition on End Prelude
Yes, we're back, we're back! With a big helping hand from Jeff Breyer, we're back!
Originally, I had planned to put some clips from early comics as part of a patchwork background, but ditched that in favor of PhotoShop goodness. I'll save the patchwork for next time.
I'll also decided to step off the offical update schedule. FFS will update when it can and not when it can't.
And finally, I've almost finished FFX-2. I missed a lot of stuff, though, so New Game+, here I come!
