I've spent a lot of today recording the next couple of episodes of Final Fantasy Marathon for YouTube. They're long episodes (a little over 2 hours each) because I wanted to make a significant amount of progress — plus some quick mental calculations in my head last night led me to believe that at my current pace, it's going to take about six years for the "project" as a whole to be completed. Probably more, since the games get longer as time goes on.
I very much want to go through with this as I really enjoy both Final Fantasy and the recording of these videos, but I'm conscious of the amount of time it takes to get through them. Unfortunately, with my current life and working situation, there really isn't a way I can do it any quicker along with all the other things that I want to do — and those "other things" are probably more important to me, as Final Fantasy Marathon was always intended as a fun little side project.
Going forward, I think we'll just take things as they come. If we need a long episode to get through a long dungeon, we'll do that. If we need to take a year to get through one game, we'll do that. I'm in no rush to get this "finished", as it were; I'm just conscious of things like the slightly turbulent atmosphere surrounding YouTube right now, as well as things like the MMOs — what state will they be in by the time I get to them?
Probably best not to worry about it. This is all for fun and a hobby right now, after all. As I've said numerous times, I would love to make it my full-time job, but that needs a few more Patrons before it's a thing I could even contemplate a little bit — so I do what I can when I can for the moment.
Speaking of which, the fact it's now 23:52 as I type this means that I'm probably going to leave this week's PATRONS ONLY! vlog until tomorrow, so watch out for that then!
Hope you're having a good weekend and Christmas shopping hasn't been too stressful.
