Inktober 2023 and prompt 27 arrives. Today's prompt is Beast.
Again another very broad word people can easily cover. There's lottsa beasties out there as well as characters named Beast. (X-Men tends to come to mind here)
But admittedly I am not the greatest at human proportions. So I naturally went for a more animalistic variant.
I went on something more fantastic too.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is on it's way. After almost four years of waiting I can play the next chapter in the ongoing saga of Cloud Strife and Co. as they hunt down the elusive Sephiroth.
In the next installment they will naturally come across new characters. Among them will be the enigmatic former Turk: Vincent Valentine. I don't know how much further into the game the next part goes; but it definitely appears to be up to the Shinra Mansion. I also wonder if Vincent will be optional along with Yuffie.
They changed quite a few things from the original game: some for the better. Thankfully the main plot is intact so I don't think were gonna stray too far off the beaten path but well see.
I can't wait to review the next part.
Anyways; when we meet Vincent I wonder if he will also change into multiple forms with his limit breaks. His first form is the subject of today's Inktober prompt. His first form is Galian Beast; which more or less looks like a bipedal Behemoth. The creature's strength and fire abilities are pretty awesome; though never use it against fire-based enemies. Vincent has always been hit n miss as far as being useful in battle. He's cool and his backstory is one of the most awesome (if not important) parts of Final Fantasy VII lore. I never did play his spin-off Dirge of Cerberus; that's because reviews were not favorable back then.
Nevertheless it will be interesting to see how he's utilized in battle. I wonder if his form works like a summon with the new battle system the game now incorporates. It looks like they're taking it further with a kind of co-op attack system.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is one of the few things I am looking forward to in 2024. And I sincerely hope we make it in time for it's release in late February with the way things are right now. xx
