The Final Fantasy franchise is one of the longest-running gaming series in history, and while there are a handful of stories that have received a spin-off or a proper prequel/sequel, most of the games have very little in common with each other… at least on the surface. Almost every game in this collection features their own specific protagonist, takes place on different planets, and even have unique styles of gameplay. But they also share many similarities despite their unconnected plots, as each tends to feature some sort of “mana” to power special abilities, many include a “Cid” somewhere, and the story usually involves an eclectic cast of characters coming together to save their world. They are all part of one “family” of games, even if they each tell separate stories.

When reading the Bible it can be challenging to balance the wisdom and beauty of the Psalms and Proverbs with the bitterness and heartache of Ecclesiastes and Jeremiah. But the truth is that ALL of Scripture is inspired by the Lord, and that includes the parts that we don’t like or fully understand. Each story is part of an intricate tapestry… a series of books and letters written by multiple people that may seem to have little in common, but all of which share the same Author. And when they are combined together, they form one timeless love letter from our Savior to us all.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. Luke 24:27
