There was a lot of discussion on these pages while I was on vacation,
so I'm going to be putting up pages, the questions asked, and answers
here.

- You mean, this is your first time playing FF4? Enjoy it. And wow, that's a
nice picture. In the game, young Rydia is so lost and angry about the death of
her mother and the eradication of her village and tribe; it's nice to see her
carefree.
To avoid spoiling any surprises for you, I was going to hold my incentive
request until you said you were done with FF4, but you obviously already know
that Rydia grows up over the course of the game. Grown-up Rydia is what I want
to see. :^)
There are two ways to read Nanaki's last statement. Obviously you intend for
him to say that Yuffie's ability to handle the tonberry exceeds Vincent's
ability to handle the tonberry. But you can also read it that Yuffie's ability
to handle the tonberry exceeds Yuffie's ability to handle Vincent. Hehehe! (I'm
such a nerd.)
Vincent must really be having emotional problems. I've never known anyone to be
so disappointed that he didn't die.
Oh, one more thing. This is comic #100, in hexadecimal. :^)
Thanks for the compliment! Yes, I did finish FF4, and boy, was it a hard game. It was nice, though, I enjoyed it. Grown-up Rydia will be added to the queue, but you can also see a sketch I did of her
right here.
Nanaki's last statement was meant to imply that anyone who fights one of these mutated Tonberrys experiences the compulsion to want to die, due to the memories the Tonberry dregs up during its psychic attack. Those who aren't expecting it might actually succumb to the attack and actually die - as Vincent did a few pages before. It isn't, however, a physical attack at all.

- All right.... By the quotation marks, I'm assuming that the vacation doesn't
involve joy-tripping off to Disneyworld or the Bahamas or Tokyo or whatnot.
Shame. Well, whatever you do, have a good one all the same. ;)
I really like your picture of Rydia. ^___^ Unfortunately, my game's glitchy and
doesn't save, so unless I leave my GBA on a charger all the time and play
continuously with no breaks, except to defecate and eat, I'll never get to
where she grows up. V__V I like Vincent's expressions on this page, too.... He
looks totally out of it (as is to be expected from someone who was just
resurrected).
Oddly enough, now that I've seen the bottom of his shoes for the first time....
They're made out of metal, right? Aren't they... slippery? It doesn't seem like
they would grip stuff well, or get enough traction. Hmm. I guess I'll just have
to chalk it up to the FF world's total disregard of the laws of physics. :P
No, the vacation was just time off from reading / drawing any and all comics, so I could do other things, like write and more importantly get a lot of home improvement projects done. I didn't actually travel anywhere significant. It was a nice one, though, the break from all this drawing was really refreshing. I only hope I can remember how to draw again by next week. ;-) As for Vincent's shoes - I'd assume there's some Shinra technology at work there to make traction possible, heh. Or maybe it's just brass coloured plastic! XD
