Last year, scouring the main show floor room at NYC’s Comic Con felt like quite the task. DC and Marvel had the biggest booths with Lego smack right in the middle of the two comic giants. Doctor Who paraphernalia was in abundance. Gaming company giants were there too showcasing new games and playable demos, and everything dazzled the senses. Nintendo was there promoting Paper Mario: Sticker Star. And Square Enix also had a sizable booth. It was there along with the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary chocobos and moogles, I saw it. Perched on his shoulder, the ominous black bird stared at me in a familiar fashion and I had to have him... while his glare invoked images of shattered stained glass windows that glistened in my mind and a favourite song began running through my head.
