      Catching up on my podcasts, and this one really resonated with a core problem I have with the ensemble cast of Sombulus. Giving each character their focus and episode is definitely a challenge that I continue to work through as I write. Thanks for touching on this subject; it gave me a lot to think about!

      (So much Blitzball hate, though! ;_; I remember loving that mini-game!)

        It’s something I struggled with for every character, and I still wrestle with it today. It’s surprisingly hard to keep a story driven by the people in it, rather than pushed around by events. Still, if we can keep it in mind, there’s a lot of powerful moments we can unlock in our work!

      Touche on the Blitzball… If I’m honest, I played all the way through that minigame to get Wakka’s ultimate weapon.
