I think I must have now spent most of a month kind of in that productivity-black hole where you've got at least five different things that are mostly written, but that's actually just a nice way of saying that only the hair-pullingly difficult bits are left, or that you've written yourself into a corner where you've got a three-parter that should

It... actually should probably have been up by now, except that I wasted Wednesday night writing this post instead, then lost last night going to see a movie, and a friend's celebrating her birthday tonight... ^^; But it'll be up by next week at the latest, I swear!

Oh, I'm sure you're spot on - it's all just about Arcsys being too lazy to redraw Ky in his IPF uniform. What kind of amazes me is that although we see that uniform in one picture from the first GG game, they've never once drawn a single picture of him wearing it since. It's rather like they've completely (or perhaps just 'conveniently', given that his Order uniform is much prettier) forgotten the IPF has their own uniform at all. XD No wonder there's so much fandom confusion over whether the Order's still active or not.

I did once spend a while toying with the idea of writing fic to explain why Ky kept wearing his Order uniform ever since the tournament (linked in to what Justice said to him about the war not being over), but I always more interesting ideas to distract me.

Hey hey, take your time ^^;; I'd be working on more fanart if it weren't for RL trying to eat me alive nowadays.

Come to think of it, did Ishiwatari even design the entire IPF uniform, aside from the cloak? Given how many Order vets are probably in the IPF, the Order uniform might as well be the unofficial alternative XD

Ooh, never thought about it that way. I'd always thought that Ky finds some comfort in wearing the uniform, given how he grew up wearing it and it being one of the few constants in his life back then.

It's a little more frustrating because it's actually so close to done it really should be as easy as finding a free hour somewhere - but there are a couple of parts I should run past my beta reader again before I declare it ready to post. I really wanted it finished weeks ago, but at this rate a couple more days won't kill me. ^^;

I think the IPF uniform basically is just the blue cloak over the exact same undershirt and pants Ky wore in the Order. Or at least similar enough that it makes no difference, so at the very least, I'm sure all the old Order veterans get to wear that much of their old uniform to work. *g*

I did also figure it made some sense for him to be wearing it in GGX, since he's acting as a free agent by going looking for Dizzy rather than as an IPF member. But by GGXX, where he pretty much gets interrupted in the middle of his workday, they're running out of excuses. Not that I can really blame them for not wanting to redraw that many sprites. On the other hand, sometimes it's fun trying to find a logical rationale for even the parts of the series that the creators included completely by accident. ^^;
