doujinshi: Brave Commander by K.A.R.

Circle: KAR
Year: 1997
Pages: 26 pages
Characters: Ramza, Agrias, Mustadio, Delita, Ovelia, Alma
Rating: PG (a little blood)

Summary: A very pretty and clean style, quite detailed. The first story is my favorite, a gag story of Agrias getting decked out in dancer attire. A few more with Agrias beating everyone up, and then another funny one about Ovelia's married life. The last story is of course, about the epilogue, very sad.

Ovelia, now queen and married to Delita, is watching Delita sleep, and unfortunately what he says in his sleep pisses her off!!! *cracks up*

doujinshi: TIME AND REALITY by tsuki no dango

Title: TIME AND REALITY (Toki to Jitsu?)
Circle: tsuki no dango (to the best of my knowledge)
Year: 2000
Pages: 34 pages
Characters: Ramza, Cloud, Elmdor, Delita, Ovelia, Alma, generics, some Vagrant Story art
Rating: PG

Summary: This is a fairly nice doujinshi with a lot of guest art in the middle, kinda amateurish style but probably better than my art, at least. The first 2 stories are pretty hilarious gag ones concerning Ramza's unique ability and then Cloud being stupid, it's great. The last story is longer, angsty and of course, about the epilogue. I do wish I could read it though, it seems like it has some good dialogue going on!

Page 1!
Basically Ramza is "Cheer"ing his teammates on, and they clearly do not want to be sped up, hah hah.

Anyways... I just defeated a flock of chocobos at Barias Tor, one of the hardest battles you can find, I think. Little bastards tried to take me out! Well, I finally got myself a red chocobo, so hah.

doujinshi: Flower Barrow by Kyofu no Miso Soup

Because I'm so utterly lazy, I'm going to review one of the Tactics doujinshi I bought off of eBay.



Title: Flower Barrow
Circle: Kyofu no Miso Soup, Kiriri Amasawa
Year: 2000
Pages: 38 pages
Characters: Ramza, Delita, Alma, Olan, Balmafula, Izlude, Meliadoul, Mustadio, cameos of pretty much every speaking character
Rating: PG

Summary: basically an adorable collection of gag stories, plus fanart from different artists. The art is as you see, cute, detailed, very pretty. The running gags seem to be Ramza's devotion to Alma, plus Olan and Balmafula's rocky relationship. There is a gag version of the epilogue between Delita and Ovelia that is just hilarious. This is pretty much my favorite one, if just for the variety of characters thrown in. Sheer genius, I say.


In this comic, Ramza and Delita are basically arguing about whose sister is cuter. Hah hah! Kinda creepy, but very true.

Final Fantasy Tactics doujinshi collect!

Here are the fronts of the four Final Fantasy Tactics doujinshi I currently own (scaled down). These cost me quite the pretty penny, but I managed to snag some of the prettiest or least offensive ones I could find on eBay. I don't go for the DelitaXRamza yaoi unfortunately, even though that is the most prevalent kind of doujinshi out there. I prefer cute or gag doujinshi, in case anyone reading this cares, and yaoi tends to not fall in that realm. My next project is trying to translate some of this, but without furigana, I am as helpless as a babe.

If I ever get the funds to do so, I would love to grab the figurines, the artbook or ultimania book, and any of the original merchandise from the first release. Hardcore, yes!!!
