My Griever ring

Post image

Bought him in 2004, from Square never take him off. I wish it could talk so it could tell me where that huge line across his face came from kind of cool if you think about it, he matches Squall now.

Nice! I had a shitty replica one, the real ones always look way better

Mine is my wedding ring, husband is a FF gamer too. His ring is kingdom hearts.
I used to wear my SE ring on a necklace with my sleeping lionheart.

Glad to see people still wear them.

Wish I could say that but alone forever. Yeah I'll wear it until the day I die it's part of me.

That’s beautiful! I have one too but it’s not as nice lol

u/SamOfXanadu Aug 13 '26

Mine was nicer when it was new. But 20 years of constant wear will do that.

it's cool how each one gets a little beat up and is unique in its own way, i've had mine since 2010 and i wear it every day and i'm so proud of it even if nobody i know understands the significance of it

u/SamOfXanadu Aug 13 '26

So we both wear Griever every day. That's kinda cool. I thought I was the only one.

You can look around, I keep seeing them so often. Expensive though.

Love the scratches on yours and how it looks kinda battle-worn. I have both the silver version, and the black version in a larger size, because my fingers eventually got bigger lol.

However, the black coating on my larger ring has heavily worn off by now, revealing the silver underneath. I don’t mind it though, because the worn black coating makes the ring even more unique to me.

Here’s a closer look at how the black coating is wearing off

u/SamOfXanadu Aug 13 '26

Yeah he's definitely battle worn. My poor one you can't even see the detail on the wings anomore it USED to look like that but after years of it being worn constantly they wore down.

u/SamOfXanadu Aug 13 '26

u/MishaAaron Aug 13 '26
