Body swap and transformation clips were also a thing, but I was mostly interested in the ones in languages that I couldn’t understand. Which definitely did not inspire me to clear that game twice so I could have an MtF and an FtM character.Įarly web video was mostly a bunch of crap, with the only standout exception I can remember being Wand of Change and some 3D animations made using Lionhead Studios’ The Movies.

Or that potion from Fable II where the player character could permanently change their sex as a reward for clearing the endgame. At least unless you are willing to stretch things to an extreme level and count stuff like 1992’s Avenging Spirit for GameBoy. Video games were basically a no-go zone outside of schlock like X-Change (this was before I discovered Press-Switch by the way). …And most of it wasn’t.īecause of how most of the TSF stuff I was fixated on was limited to the mediums of text, images, and comics, I was always excited when something else promised a TSF element. I maintained a massive collection of favorites, followed every creator I even sort of fancied, and developed a ‘refined appreciation for art of all skill levels.’ Which is a nice way of saying that I learned to appreciate illustrations even when they weren’t very good. Searching through TG caption sites- especially ones without nudity, because what sort of freak would want to look at naked people?īut the place I did the most exploring was DeviantArt, where I would spend hours every week scrounging for every bit of TSF, or rather TG, content on the site. Trekking through interactive fiction, before that site went to complete doo-doo. Browsing through then-decade-old Fictionmania stories. I spent something like an hour a day searching for stuff. Starting with some establishing context, I have been into TSF stuff since the summer of 2008. And by ‘talk about,’ I mean ‘let’s do a bit of a history lesson centered around how I learned about him!’ Because Natalie is an old lady and loves telling long winding stories with paragraph-long tangents. Sam Mokler, or as he is better known as, SapphireFoxx. I have been on something of a tear with TSF preambles this week, so let’s keep this trend going by talking about a particular creator who I think back to every few months.

The history of Final Fantasy XV (and Luminous Studios, I guess).
