I admired the trilogy a lot and the arts were supposed to represent my abilities I gained throughout High School as my freshman a antisocial and shy person into a more involved and changed person. Its all because of JRPGS!

Games I played in the past: FF7 (OG, CC, & Remakes), FF9, FF10, P3R + The Answer, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and P5R.

During my senior year of high school, I still didn’t know what my life was going to look like or what I wanted to study. Around that time, I happened to discover the Xenoblade trilogy through trailers and videos, and I chose to play it because I thought those games would be a meaningful way to wrap up my high school years.

And honestly, they really were. I’m glad I played them.

As a huge FF7 fan, witnessing the cruelty of life, struggles, loss, and discouragement through these stories slowly shaped my love for JRPGs and helped me reflect on my own life.

Final Fantasy: Gave me relatable characters and emotional struggles.

Persona: Showed the harshness of life and the challenges people go through.

Xenoblade: Taught themes of regret, the past, moving forward into the future, and leaving behind legacies for the next generation.

These series helped guide me through feelings of regret, discouragement, moving forward, inheriting the past, and embracing the future. They genuinely helped me grow as a person.

It’s been about a week since I finished Future Redeemed, and it honestly felt like a huge sendoff before graduation. One of my goals was to play and finish the entire Xenoblade series before I graduate and now I’m about to.
