I was so surprised and thrilled to see this site had reached 100,000 views!! Thank you all; I wasn't really expecting anyone to look at my convoluted personal fansite for a videogame from decades ago, and I'm delighted to have been wrong. I've been busy with my Goes Wrong Show website lately, but Final Fantasy VIII always lives in my heart and I'll definitely come back to Balamb Garden in the future!

Thank you so much! I should really play Final Fantasy Tactics, now that the remaster has made it available in Europe at last.

I just stumbled across your podcast in a desperate hunt for anyone with some sympathy for Ted Tubberman, and I found it extremely vindicating. Ted Tubberman did nothing wrong! Well, Ted Tubberman did some things wrong, but he deserved better treatment than that. Your thoughts on the Pern series are really interesting, and I'm looking forward to delving further into them!

Glad we could provide vindication! Ted Tubberman truly only did some things wrong and mostly not the things he was being arbitrarily punished for. We hope you'll enjoy the rest of the podcast!

Thank you! (I should really upload the rest of that comic at some point.) If you do get into Final Fantasy, I hope you have a great time with it. I really enjoy your site; I love your passion for Deltarune and the way you've drawn inspiration from holidaygirl1225's blog (my favourite part of the Spamton Sweepstakes!), and I enjoyed your post on discovery in videogames. Outer Wilds is a great game!

Aw thanks so much!! I love holidaygirl1225 as well! I’ve got a big ‘games to play’ list but rest assured I will squeeze final fantasy on there somewhere

I just had a great time poking around your website, and I was honoured and delighted to find you'd linked to Balamb Garden on there; thank you! I love your thoughts on Squall and Seifer's relationship; 'hate and respect' is such a good way to put it, and 'They need to be taking up space in each other’s heads' is absolutely perfect.

Thank you!! Your site really is just such a joy, I meant every word I wrote. There are no links unclicked on the Balamb Garden page for me >u< I've gone around it so many times. I'm going to add a section to the Screed I think titled 'holy shit they're just kids' as that is a factor that weight on the soul. Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I'll need all the luck I can get lol. Also just want to say I really love your site as well! Very pretty design, and I empathized so much with the "oh no I'm so lost and don't know what to do" moments!

Thank you so much for your link to my site! It's great to see character shrines still alive and well, and I love your suggestion that Seymour had some level of genuine feeling for Yuna; it adds such an interesting depth to his character.

Thank you so much! This really made me happy. I’m glad you liked my thoughts about Seymour and Yuna. I always felt that his feelings for her were more complicated than only manipulation. Not healthy, of course, but still genuine in a very tragic Seymour way. It makes me so happy to see character shrines still alive. It really feels like keeping the old web alive together.

Love your website! I stumbled across it through your comment on r/neocities, and I had a great time looking around. Your Deltarune shrine is absolutely charming, and I really like the structure of your videogame review page!

Hey, thank you for the follow; I enjoyed poking around the site so far! (I had to track the site itself down through your profile's update feed, though, as I couldn't find any way to get to it from the index page; that might be intentional if you want to finish building the site before adding an entry point, but I thought I'd better point it out just in case.) Looking forward to watching this place evolve!

Hi- Thank you so much for the feedback! The missing index page was intentional- I have one made already but I never got around to adding it because I'm missing a proper "Welcome" image, plus I also wanted to get a little further in before truly opening it up. Thank you again!

You're welcome! :-) And I do like that magazine cover, but it is strange that Zell was left out. He didn't do anything to deserve that!

Excited to see the update, from one Balamb Garden to another! I'm always so thrilled to see discussion of Final Fantasy VIII in this day and age; it's such a beautiful, strange, intricate game, and it means a lot to me. Glad you had a good time in Ireland, too!

Thank you so much! FFVIII means a lot to me, too, and I'm glad it hasn't been totally forgotten or overshadowed by the games that preceded and followed it. Also, I don't think I've said this to you before, but your site is awesome! I really like the way you've based its layout on Balamb Garden itself. You've done a great job with it. :-) And yes, Ireland was amazing! I can't wait to go back.

Congratulations on finishing your TWEWY journal! I got excited whenever I saw an update. It's one of my favourite games of all time, and this was such a fun tribute to it! (I don't know if it's ever been officially stated, but I always assumed that the background tracks as you explore and fight are what Neku is listening to on his headphones, and that's why they're randomised rather than tied to location.)
