I'm posting this in the hopes that some old bitter sonofabitch like me finds it and enjoys it.

I spent the better part of last year goofing off by playing Final Fantasy 6 a lot, and that somehow lead me to creating a patch for the game where I rewrote the script and made the final boss a hellish monster (not that he looks any different to the naked eye - and hell, if you spam the Offering+Genji Glove setup, he still goes down in a couple of turns, but I did it mainly to shock any newcomers to the game).

There was a convention in the fan translation of Final Fantasy 5 where the main character, Bartz, would say "Stand Guard!" when a boss was about to attack you (this was in RPGe's translation), so, since I thought it to be an original turn of phrase, I went with that as a subtitle and sort of thematic statement.

What I've done is pieced together my favorite bits of Woolsey, Slattery and Sky Render, and thrown a dash of my own writing in for color. I did it purely for a laugh, and I had a hell of a time with the font, until some kind soul more knowledgable than I came along and fixed it for me.

You can obtain this bit of magic here.

My only wish is for any and all willing to enjoy it to do so.

Time for some coffee.
