Final Fantasy is actually quite cheeky, and I think FF14, in particular, nails that in some of its side content, especially within the Hildibrand questline. It’s why some of Final Fantasy’s most ardent fans were worried about FF7R nailing the tone - the original game wasn’t all doom and gloom like Advent Children may have wanted you to believe. I quite like these bits, as it’s a lot of the goofiness that makes the series so endearing. Highlighting these moments isn’t supposed to serve as some sort of stab at Final Fantasy, either.

In 2000, I’m excitedly telling my friends about FF9’s hilarious little Chocobo, Bobby Corwen, not quite getting the actual joke but thinking it’s a hoot just because in a cast of people named Princess Garnet, Zidane, and Freya - you’ve got a Bobby Corwen. For now, I just think the characters are neat and I can’t stop giggling about a tiny little alien picking up a cow and carrying it off to god-knows-where. The overarching story captures my attention, but as a kid, a lot of the commentary on child soldiers, war, and love goes soaring over my head. It’s 1999, and I’m a little thing laughing about some creature called a Pupu in Final Fantasy 8 stealing a cow.
