The village of my grandfather, France
When my friends asked me to describe the place I was taking them to for a weekend getaway, I told them it's a small village, surrounded by fields and beet sugar factories, so flat you can see the wind mills from very far away, with some houses that haven't been properly rebuilt since the storm of 1999, no stores but a tobacco/lottery "bar PMU" (not even a bakery), a modern church since the old one was bombed in both world wars, a stadium that's really just grass with two goal posts, and nothing to do but fish in the swamp.
They told me I was trying to make it sound terrible on purpose, I told them I wasn't, it's just what it really is. After a weekend there, they confirmed that it is exactly what I described, and that there is actually nothing depreciative about that description ; and in fact all those things give our little village in the North of France its bittersweet charm.

As we breathlessly wait for February to arrive I couldn't help but think about how the games communication mechanics have changed over the course of the series. Phones weren't really a big thing in the original game (for obvious reasons) but made a bigger splash in Crisis Core with emails. I keep thinking about that moment when you receive an email from Cloud (as you're playing Zack) and it says "Zack, where are you?! Sephiroth set the whole village on fire!!!"
It shouldn't be funny but it honestly is. Like, what a way to communicate, right? But now texting, selfies, live feeds, and the whole kibosh are rampant in our lives.
So I decided to make a thing.
