Esper - Blog Posts
Sometimes I get the feeling that we're all just a bunch of clowns standing on our tiptoes at the edge of a great abyss.

This is Esperanza, Esper for short. She's a 4-star Dendro polearm from Natlan, a curious girl full of wonder and questions for the world beyond what she's known. She would act as the Traveler's initial guide to Natlan from Sumeru, as she was given the opportunity to study at the Akademiya for her innate curiosity.
Of course, we know practically nothing about Natlan, so everything about Natlan and its story arc is purely speculation, but from what the wikifandom says, Natlan is divide by tribes - and as a nation of War, it's safe to assume that these divide tribes are on the verge of fighting each other. There would probably be some sort of intertribal tournament for the Pyro Archon's amusement or something in 5.0 but again, all speculation.
However, if this is a little bit true, then Esper has some strong feelings on it. She doesn't like all the division and fighting between the tribes - if the tribes of Natlan continue to fight each other unnecessarily, there will be no victors and the volcanic sands would turn red. She's had a chance to see what practically no one else in Natlan has seen: people united and at peace with one another. It's a refreshing sight.
Esper knows that War will inevitably reign supreme in Natlan, she's not stupid. But she also knows that peace is just as important, something the rest of Natlan seems to ignore.
When she's not spewing random facts about niche subjects and asking the Traveler an impossible number of questions, she's a loving older sister to her younger siblings and an amateur flamenco-dancer-equivalent. Bc I made her after meeting and falling for Gaming. And she would be in complete awe of his Woshou dancing if she ever got the chance to see it in Liyue.
“This healing Esper casts Remedy on the party with its single magic horn.
—Final Fantasy VI PlayStation esper section "Heal Horn"- Interesting enough, the unicorn's special was either its name or just "heal horn" so there is no alternative name for it (as far as i know anyway). Given its interesting past you'd think it would do more in the game other than just remove status ailments, but then again a lot of summons in that game was watered down.
"Holy Aura" / "Life Guard" Depending on which version of FF6 you played. The only Espers i got around to "finishing" was Starlet and Kirin, the rest remained in a sketch book somewhere in my closet. I had a hard time drawing Kirin. Im not used to drawing fish scales and had to do them over and over again until I felt comfortable with the results.
"The Empress of ice wreathed in frost. She is known for her signature move, 'Diamond Dust', which freezes everything in an instant." Diamond/ Gem Dust" Depending on which game you played. Shiva has always been a fan favorite of mine, and though she is supposed to be based on 6, I designed her after 9.
"How can we know for sure... unless we... try for ourselves...?" —Maduin 's response to Madeline's uncertainty regarding humans and espers co-existing. Chaos Wave/ Wing Maduin is one of the few summons that plays a direct impact to the plot line in the Final Fantasy series. Because of this, he doesn't appear in other installments. I think he shows up in Final Fantasy World, but mostly in his relationship to his daughter Terra. Which is a shame as cus i think he's cool. Terra apparently will do "Chaos wave" in Dissidia, as well as some other boss characters in other games. I drew Maduin facing forward to symbolize how he's different than the other espers in so much that he believes that humans and espers can coexist
