For this journal I have something that's been bugging me ever since I started playing FF9, separate from the game's code itself. It's no secret that this story is not kind to Freya. She deals with lots of strife every step of the way and is overall a tragic character with a tragic conclusion to her arc (from what I remember anyway)

For me, this stinks, but I understand the integrity of the narrative and wouldn't want it to be something that it isn't. The problem comes from the fact that even after 20 some odd years later FF9 is the only mainstream narrative title that features a character like Freya. It's not fun when the character I am the most interested and attached to is done that dirty by the game's own plot, but where could I turn to experience something similar? Looking for media that features anthro characters is hard enough, but I don't mind asking around or searching old websites to find something intriguing. The alternative is of course to write stories that interest me and go the way I want them to, but that is an undertaking that requires years of practice. I'll get there eventually, but I have to take small steps, like writing a daily journal. Eventually I'll stop finding things to complain about and put short stories in here, but I won't drop the notion of writing whatever comes to mind.

This has all been a long way of saying, that I hope this aspect of the story ends off on a more positive note than I remember, if not my next project WILL be an FF9 fanfic, I swear
