Dear Final Fantasy 8,
I know we may not have gotten along the best in the past, but I hope this day is treating you well. Needless to say, I know that you're a very demanding individual, and I hope you find someone that can do things the way you like them. Someone who won't try to fight their battles. Someone who won't try to get more experience. I know you want to keep us down, FF8. You don't want us to play the way we're used to playing, you want us to work with you, the way you want, because you think that would be funny.

| A look back at more pleasant times together, before I opened your case. |
It would be fine if those we're the only issues, but baby, you know they're not. I know you have a thing for artists, but you can't just force someone to be one if they aren't already. I've been drawing and drawing and drawing for you, FF8, and what do I have to show for it? Am I really any better than I was before? I don't feel like it. You tell me that I'll be better if I stock up 100 of each drawing, but do you know how long that even takes to do? And then every once in a while, you'll make me use the drawings so that you can show your friends or whatever it is you even do with them, and then I have to start drawing back up to 100 drawings again. Oh, and not to mention the times you find something totally new you like, and then I have to start drawing all over again.
I'm sorry, baby. I know this is a special day, and I didn't mean to just bad talk you, but you make me so emotional. I know that you have your positive qualities sometimes too. Like, um, do you remember when we used to play cards together? We always had so much with that. I got into cards back when I used to play with my ex, FF9, but then I realized that playing with her wasn't any fun. She had all these crazy rules, and she expected me to remember all of them. She would draw all these weird numbers and letters on the cards, and once I thought that I finally understood her little game, she told me that she actually couldn't even fit on all the numbers she needed to on the card itself.

| Oh... Oh god. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, FF9? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? |
That's why I liked our card games, baby, at least at first. You kept it simple. I could see what was going on. Unfortunately, even that was not perfect. At some point you got it in your head that it would be fun to start changing up the rules every once in a while. You thought it would be more interesting. Then, when I was confused by all these new rules, you would beat me and take the one card I treasured most. The one I never knew if I would find another copy of. Somehow, FF8, you managed to break my spirit and take away all the fun I once had over our card game that I held so close to my heart.
I haven't even touched upon your crazy demands. Do you remember that time you told me that you thought I should wear fire instead of a coat? I laughed it off, thinking you were just cracking a joke, but then you just stared at me expectantly. You tried to tell me it would help protect me, and I honestly didn't even know what to tell you.
In retrospect, I guess I really haven't touched upon a good quality. You can sing pretty well, I guess? I don't know, FF9 used to be better at that too. Well, anyways, I wish you the best.
Best Regards,
Azuma
