I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, actually, and I learned a lot about its design that I never would've noticed if I hadn't drawn it. In the game, he randomly appears in forests and announces that he has a pop quiz for you, during which he asks you one question about the game that was only obscurely mentioned once on a plaque you didn't need to read or requires a strong geographical knowledge of the land. That may not seem like too many times considering I had about a hundred encounters, but the ragtime mouse is actually a fairly uncommon find.
This drawing came from a night of playing FF9 and running into a monster called the "Ragtime Mouse" about three times. And when I have a slight whim to draw something, I find some paper and draw it, even if I have very little hope for it. I don't have to show everyone my drawings. That seems really professional, but I've realized that when I drew for the sake of drawing, I was far more creative. I've been obsessed with creating and showing off finished works, instead of just drawing for the sake of drawing like I used to. Over the past few years I've noticed a lull in my productivity regarding my artwork. This game has continuously inspired me and my artwork throughout the years. The developers have said that they wanted FF9 to be different from the others while still retaining the Final Fantasy feel, and I believe they did that in every aspect. The characters of FF9 are extremely deep and emotional and the settings and designs are unique, even for the Final Fantasy franchise. I said nine, though, so let's focus on that. A lot of people mention the seventh game when I tell them that my favorite is the ninth. I've been playing it since I was about 11, and I still play it quite often, especially when I'm feeling lonely or just need a warm, fuzzy feeling in my heart. In my youtube video, I named Final Fantasy 9 as one of my favorite games.
