And thanks Chibi! <3 I love seeing all this love for Beatrix, haha. She's great.

When you say links, do you mean the URLs like /introduction/ instead of introduction.php? I do that with URL rewriting. You set up rules in your .htaccess files. I've been meaning to do it for years and have just been playing with it for this site and my construction zone site. Here and here are tutorials you might find helpful. The only issue I've had with it is that it broke my anchor links, so I need to fix that whenever I want to take the time to research solutions. tbh, it's pretty straightforward on a small site like this. It doesn't need lots of conditions. Hopefully that's a bit helpful to you. :)
Ohhh yes, that's exactly what I meant!! Sorry if I wasn't too clear orz;; Thank you for the tutorial links though, I'm gonna try those out soon! <:

@high seraph - thank you! I was in a real state of dissatisfaction about this site, so it's nice to hear people liked it before the revamp! (and I mean maybe I shouldn't but yes you totally should buy FFIX again and replay it because it is WONDERFUL)

@Lethe - afjhdsj, thank you <3 It's strange - when I first did 1P1M for this site, it was because I thought there just wasn't enough to say about Beatrix to justify it being a multipage site and that it would be a one pager for ever. OBVIOUSLY I WAS WRONG. The progression of this site is interesting to me, haha.

OH MAN CLEYRA. *_* Just so, so gorgeous. I wish we got to spend more time there. (slightly related: people who say FFIX is childish and less mature than VII and VIII are ridiculous. This game gets dark.)

@Tara - you're welcome! I hope those links are helpful. :light:

I'm so glad you all enjoyed the revamp of this site - all these lovely comments really make me smile. :music:

I'm really glad to see this revamped! It was great before, but it's fantastic now. Beatrix is one of my favorite characters from the game, and it's really great to see this revamp. I really love the bright and airy layout, and I LOVE the navigation. The image placement and border is also beautiful. Overall, the layout is gorgeous, and I love it. I LOVE the screenshots too. They look beautiful, and the quality looks really nice! Thanks, Steam!

I really enjoy the chronological presentation, and it works really well for her character development and progression. I also love that you take it above just a recap of every encounter with the character by offering your own explanation and theories for why she acted the way she did. It flows really nicely, and it was really nice to read.

I love the dynamic between Steiner, Garnet, and Beatrix, and I love that you included it in your shrine. Those characters have an incredibly deep, yet complex, bond, and it was really interesting to watch develop. I also shamelessly love the Beatrix and Steiner romance so I think your section dedicated to it is adorable.

Reading your shrine was incredibly enjoyable, and it's really well-written. I love your media section as well, especially the music (maybe biased though because Rose of May is one of my favorite songs from any FF game). It's a nice way to close out your shrine.

I just finished reading through all of your site, and it was nothing short of an amazing experience! It was incredibly thorough and I did have a good laugh here and there. The layout is also super gorgeous and sets this lovely mood for the site.

I really love how all the pages are separated by theme but still fall into a storytelling-type structure. It especially made it easy for me to navigate through, and saved me a lot of clicking, haha!

I am so glad you made this site! Thank you for your hard work!

Your shrines always impress me, Emma! I apologize for the SUPER late comment but I love the design. I also enjoyed reading about this character because, as usual, I know nothing about this Final Fantasy game. Everything is written so nicely and clearly and the layout and text makes it easy to read and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing! ♥
