To be honest, I hadn't heard of that series until very recently, but I hear the whole thing is up on YouTube...

I'd add "Somebody should try porting FF7 to the N64 just to see how it'd work", but I hear N64 emulators aren't that great. In fact, Project64 damn near crippled two of my computers.

I can't seem to find that bit of info on TV Tropes anymore, but from what I remember--some gamers who owned N64s, but not PlayStations, were rather miffed that Final Fantasy VII was PS-only. So they started a rumour that FF7 was getting an N64 port, with extra characters to boot.
Maybe if this were Persona 2...
Anyway, that's more or less the only reason why this guy, Orchid Landman, was drawn. An exclusive character for a game with a nonexistent port to a system that I don't think could handle it.
Orchid here used to a dancer, but he couldn't attract crowds no matter how good he was (most of the patrons were straight males). Upon learning of AVALANCHE (or what was left of them), he quit his job and immediately joined them. To keep himself busy outside of battle, he keeps tabs on everyone's Materia.
After Aerith's death, Orchid desperately tries to learn healing magic so that the team might still have a medic, but abandons this after realizing that the others would be offended at his replacing her (even if it wasn't quite his intention).
Also took a stab at emulating the FF7 style of colouring. I think it turned out alright, all things considered.

"C'mon, kid! Smile!"
"O-okay..."
Wanted to draw Cloud being the exact opposite of emo. I hear that in FF7, he was initially rather optimistic--and that in the spinoffs, he's either ALL EMO ALL THE TIME, or not given a large enough role for his lack of emo post-AC to be noticed (by fangirls, anyway).
The reason for this is a non-reason: Square admitted that they ramped up Cloud's emo factor since that was how he was usually depicted in doujinshi.
THAT IS NOT HOW YOU DO CHARACTERIZATION, SQUARE.
Granted, in AC, Cloud had damn good reason to be depressed, and he eventually overcame it (though for reasons not in the initial movie). But still--that's like Capcom turning Rock into some virginal little uke because of how some(?) fangirls portray him in slash fic. Arg.
Remember when there was no "Compilation of FF7"? I do...
Happier bit: Rock and Cloud might get along, if Rock never found out about those bombings.

Oh hey, it's the X-series versions of these two for a change.
Maybe if there was more than one human in MMX, I'd have a better idea of that era's fashion. (The humans in the Iwamoto mangas dress like it's not 21XX) Tried basing it off of Star Force, but...hm.
And a sweater-thing with tights and no pants? Better hope the fashion police don't nab you, Rock. >.>

Now that Megaman has teamed up with Cosmos, nothing can stop him--or her.
Oh yeah, been playing Dissidia again. :/












































It only came as a shock to me since I never noticed that as a kid.
