FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Finals Fantasy" published September 19, 2021 - Jason Fox: Wanna hear my awesome idea for an MMO video game? Everything takes place in a hypercompetitive academic setting. A school of champions, if you will. The teachers are the questgivers, and as you do their tasks, you gain cool new powers and abilities. Eventually, you and the other players are summoned to compete in a grand week-long arena of testing, where only your knowledge, wits and stamina can save you! And if you survive, you level up, gain reputation, and graduate to the next tier. I call it "Finals Fantasy." Wanna see my design for a math wizard? Peter: I'd like to point out that I never answered "yes" to your first question.
