Terra

Retro World Expo in Hartford came up light on Sega Saturn games, but I got a couple new games to try. Terra isn’t a fan and is warning me away from Drakkhen for the SNES.

I wrote a chatbot that thought it was Terra. I wrote fanfic, during which Celes gradually became the character I was rooting for. I uncursed the shield. I woke the Phoenix. I spent 60 hours in this game. I enjoyed every minute of it. Toward the end of Final Fantasy 6, I hunted up the SNES cartridge I’d played it on back in the 90s. It still had my save files – it was just before the final fight with Kefka. That fight was one of the few things I actually remembered about the game since I played it a quarter century ago. ...

More Celes/Terra/Locke fanfic, I’m afraid. I gave TerraChat a lot more background on the characters and their motivations, than before.

GPT-3’s real power comes when it can use AI to help people find what they need. In this case, information about Final Fantasy VI. Read on to find out how I used AI to help make a FF6 chatbot – TerraChat.
