I like how Nomura created names for all his character designs.







Hume female with blonde/black hair in a ponytail is called Morgana, black haired hume is Alexio etc

This is giving some super main character syndrome feeling, as my name is Alex Wynn...

Alexio and Wynne were the box art characters lmao.

Though I wound up being Gerard.

Where the Galkas at?

I think the concept art from this famous artist is better:

I got the D 18 time through a flight school in Akron OH where I took multi engine and instrument instruction. A selling point was they had a cargo and mail business and free right seat D -18 time was included. YOU BET THIS WAS THE DECIDING POINT. I logged over 50 hours in them. Great plane.

It's just not something you hear about much. My CFI started flying in the early 60s and he had time in them but I can't say I've ever met anyone else during my time flying that did other than him.

I can't even think of the last time I saw one that wasn't in a museum or at an air show. I flew out of a really busy airport in GA and don't think I ever saw one there, even though we had some wild stuff (there was an A35 (yes, A, as in 1947ish) Bonanza across the ramp from us). They are such elegant, cool airplanes with a lot of neat history. I can't imagine the cost to maintain and operate one now though.

I saw photos of one not long ago that had a period correct executive interior and I've never wanted an airplane so much in my life, it was amazing.
Military surplus D 18 variants were dead common in the '60s. They had sold really cheaply in the post WWII period and after the Korean conflict. They were said to have a wing spar problem but what really killed them was fuel consumption. Hardly a problem in the '60s but deadly in the '70s.

My dream planes were the converted A 20 & 26s. Only bomber I know to have shot down a fighter dogfighting. Executive transport conversions were cheap for a big twin but I didn't have the money for even a ratty used Piper cub.

And yeah, those early Bonanzas were cream your jeans pretty. I think we all wanted to fly them.

Oh I was talking about an 18 with an executive interior, although later Bonanzas had a similar cabin layout.

I was lucky enough to have some time in both 35 and 36s, they are great airplanes that balance out really well and fly really intuitively. I wanted to buy a 35 really bad and came close to doing so, but they are hard to find in good, well maintained condition. When fuel prices made a big jump late 2000s, a lot of airplanes suffered irreversible neglect.

It's easy to get in trouble in them though, a lot of pilots would transition from 172s or Cherokees into Bonanzas and get into trouble, hence their reputation, because they are slippery and pick up speed fast in comparison. Not something an experienced instrument pilot should have problems with, but someone transitioning from a 172 would not be familiar with managing and easily get into trouble.

This is a cool find!
I mean, it was obvious from the designs (especially the hairdos) that Nomura was the artist (For the Humes at least. We used to designate them FF names e.g. Wynne is Yuna, Geraud is Tidus, Rafale is Zell, etc), but it's still cool to see the conecept art.

Alerio* The font is indeed small, but アレリオ (Arerio) is written next to the character. I find it interesting that, on the ffxiclopedia character creation page, Alerio and Rafale have their names swapped.

It's also interesting to see the small descriptions next to some of the face e.g. Alerio has "normal hero" written next to him (that's why he's on the box art & intro cutscene I guess), Erhart is "cool longhair", Enkei (the Tenzen-looking guy) is "Asia". Bertram is just "beard" lol

Different artist I presume.

Ugh, I guess I need to move up the time table on my eye exam. Still it was fun to be delusional for a moment :)

Dang...

Every time someone say the word "MUST" at work (in the context of Moscow priority) I feel the urge to say:

"(Elon) Must"
