ff15 is due out in a few days in someone's feeling scared.

[inanimum]

I'm... not sure why you want me to come out now. I mean... just because there's a new entry in this series doesn't mean that anyone's going to acknowledge me any more.

A-and that's fine! I'm sure the people waking up around now are all more focused on all of the other games and sequels in this series than the one I'm in... I mean... we're pretty looked-over as it is... but that d-doesn't matter! The important thing is that You're paying attention, right? We're not really left behind, are we? Even if I'm... six entries behind...

If... if it's not too much of a bother, I'd really like to be remembered sometimes, you know? I know there's so many more people more important than me that take up real estate but... if someone's not completely forgotten then they're not truly gone...



Are they?

Hey, everyone wants to be remembered. There's nothing wrong with that.

[inanimum]

I know... I just...


I feel like no one wants to remember me or my friends...

At least... at least you're pretty! You've got lots of things for people to remember you for!

aww....;_;

[sleepyprince]

...I doubt anyone could forget you, little guy.

[A slight smile graces Noctis's lips as he kneels down next to the black mage.]

At least I wouldn't.

[He has to show respect when it's due, right? Vivi and all the other characters before him in this endless fairytale are the fore-bearers who helped bring some 'joy' to countless fans. It's only proper to show respect.]

[inanimum]

[ Vivi tugs at the brim of his hat, adjusting the large thing on his head. ]

G-golly. That um... that's really nice of you to say, mister. I-I'll bet you're gonna be really popular, being so nice and everything!

Re: aww....;_;

[neverfirstclass]

Hey....good luck out there.

[queenmage]

Oh Vivi... [She smiles softly at him.]

It's okay for everyone to be excited. But that doesn't mean we will be forgotten. Our adventure is just as close to everyone's hearts as the new ones will be.

What we can be proud of is being part of that warmth. Right? There will always be people who remember and love us.

[inanimum]

[ He looks happy at seeing a familiar face. He even hurries over for a hug. ]

Y-You're right! But I... I can't help but feel like people don't really care sometimes. N-Not all the time! But that we're kind of... an afterthought? Oh.. gee... that sounds really bad, doesn't it..?

B-But you're right. I don't regret anything we did, and we all had fun together, right? That's the important part!

[dragons_crescent]

[Have the soft touch of long thin fingers on your shoulder little black mage.]

Don't worry. I don't think we need to fear being forgotten.

[inanimum]

[ He's startled, but looks up at his tall, tall friend in wonder. ]

R-Really? You think so? I-I mean... I really hope not. I know I could never forget someone as brave and noble as you!

[throatstab]

[The small green critter wanders over, slow as its usual pace...and then holds up a plate of freshly baked cookies in offering.]

[inanimum]

[ There is a little panic at the approach of the Tonberry, but its gift makes Vivi feel a little embarrassed. Graciously, he accepts a cookie and looks rather pleased. ]

Golly... t-thank you. That's um.. that's really nice of you to share!

Warning: ASSHOLE INCOMING

[divagenome]

Be glad, Little Failure, that you are well-loved and coddled in your weakness.

Wow rude

[inanimum]

[ He tugs on the brim of his hat and looks down. Still learning how to stand up for himself in some ways. ]

I... I don't know about that. But.. I know that's not a very nice thing to say to someone..

[you_are_not_alone]

Vivi!

[Have a friendly wave from Zidane.]

They'll never forget us. Never. For a lot of them, we were their first, you know? I guarantee, anybody who can cast spells in this new game is going to get compared to you, first and foremost.

So no worrying, 'kay?

[inanimum]

Zidane!

[ Boy is he glad to see you. ]

G-gosh, do you really think so? I mean... I'm sure the new people are really good, too! I don't know if that's fair to them!

[ieatfrogs]

Oh-ho-ho! Are we all getting together for big meal as friends?

I cook delicious food for everyone!

[inanimum]

It certainly seems that way, doesn't it?

[ Vivi looks pleased. ]

Gosh... I have missed your cooking, Quina!

[neverfirstclass]

...

[The blonde shifts around, looking uncomfortable. It actually helps that it's a kid asking for reassurance though.]

Look, I'm probably not the best one to show up here...but you're a Hero as much as I am. And I know you hear people talking about me a lot, but I hear just as many getting excited about you.

[inanimum]

[ Oh wow! Vivi looks duly impressed, but also quite bashful. ]

W-well, I don't know about that, but I know a lot of people really love you, too! More than almost anyone, I think! Golly, I think I'd do almost anything to be as brave and heroic as you are.

[uncoiledpromise]

[Don't mind her, doubletaking a second there.]]

If there is aught I have learnt in my travels, it's that one may not speak to a friend for some time, but they're never truly forgotten. [She gives him a faint smile.]

[inanimum]

[ He looks curious, but pleased. ]

I can't think of anything lonelier than being forgotten by people who were supposed to care about you...

[acceptedoblivion]

You sure about that, little guy? Because it seems like there are even more people noticing me than when my player picked me up, and it's at what... three? Four entries in my series since the one I was in?

[He shrugs. ...Well, it's an attempt.]

Don't ever discount the nostalgia factor. The fact you're talking now's proof of that, right?

[inanimum]

W-well, you're so strong and bold! Of course people would notice you! People love you!

[ He hadn't quite thought of it that way before. Interesting. ]

I... I guess so. But.. is that a good thing?

[boomchucka]

Hey! Don't sell yourself so short! We're all meant to do something great. Something important.

Something super fantasic and mega awesome.

My mun has been thinking this a lot lately but don't forget to be awesome.

By the way? I think you're the best. And I'm from the game before yours.

[inanimum]

Oh.. oh gosh. Thank you! I... I think you're pretty great, too. You're always so happy and smiling... it's really inspirational!

Don't you give up on yourself, either!

[thegriever]

Muns are fickle things from what I've gathered.

[inanimum]

They can be... It's kinda sad sometimes... really lonely.

sorry this is so late I just...saw this and just *wails*

[cautiousoptimism]

[When Penelo hears this her first real impulse is to just run up and hug the little guy. She doesn't know him, but the hat and the look are familiar, enough to really make her feel for him.]

Nobody's forgotten you. You're not going to be left behind.

[She does walk up and stoop down to his level, looking right into those glowing eyes, smiling sadly.]

There's absolutely no reason to think that. Because even with that new entry, you're always going to be a classic. And we remember the classics, because they're just that.

[She's only a few entries behind, but she's become pretty aware how few people even know who she and her friends are.]

And no. Nobody's gone if they're forgotten. Other people don't prove your existence. You do that yourself, by talking.

Oh no!

[inanimum]

[ Vivi just cocks his head, staring at her with yellow, glowing eyes for a moment before letting them fall to the ground. ]

W-Well.. I just worry that me or my friends don't really fit into that category... I feel like... a lot of people don't like us.

[wanderingbreeze]

Well- they're definitely remembering you now, right? I'll bet they continue to remember you.

[inanimum]

I-I guess they are! There's been so many nice people I... I don't know what to do with all of them!

[mr_288]

I don't think anyone could forget you, Vivi. It's us mass-produced Black Mages that most don't remember, unless they remember the village or Kuja.

[He...smiles? Can Black Mages smile?]

Cheer up! Our story will never be forgotten, as long as there's one person around to tell it!

[inanimum]

I... I remember you. You guys taught me a lot, and I'll never forget how nice you were to me and my friends even after... I couldn't save so many of you. But you're all so kind and wise.. how could anyone forget that?

[ He might not exactly have much of an expression, but he does seem pleased. ]

I wanna make sure I tell everyone about you. You can't be forgotten!
