Because you can download it. And then use it in documents. And then set the text on your computer to appear in Matoran. You're welcome. Also, December 6th was Final Fantasy V's 20th Anniversary!! It's a lesser known Final Fantasy, due in part to the fact that the original SNES version was never released in English, but it has a wonderfully refined Job System, introduced series staples like Tonberries and Gilgamesh, and is somehow utterly ridiculous yet heartwarming at the same time. It's a f
Bioni-Lords: Bioni-Lords Book 3: Kako -Le-Isle: After their harrowing experience with the King of Kohrak, our heroes make it to Le-Isle with new power, believing themselves to be ready for any threat. That belief will be tested when they encounter a boy of mysterious heritage who leads them in an investigation of a haunted castle. What is more dangerous: the monster said to stalk the halls, or the Shadow Consortium’s experiments to create a brand new Element? -Ga-Isle: As Valxan continues hi
I was too busy feasting and commiting genocide to make a post until now. That is how we celebrate, right...? All pessimism aside, I want to mention that next month's issue of Famitsu will have information on the new Pokemon movie featuring Genesect! ...It's exciting for me, at least. I got a lot of use out of the Genesect distributed when Black/White 2 were released. Also the teaser trailer for this movie reveals why it is that Genesect can learn Fly: apparently it transforms into some kind o
This past Tuesday, something momentous happened... I finally got a full team of Pokemon all the way to Level 100!! (Yeah, I know: what took me so long? Well...I dunno.) It was originally my Platinum team, but they were also trained in HeartGold, White, and White 2. The team includes Lucario, Infernape, Giratina (Origin Forme), Floatzel, Garchomp, and Luxray. It's a strange feeling, seeing them "completed" like this...but now I'm thinking it's time to restart Platinum with a new team. So fa
The recent issue of Famitsu revealed some more information about The World Ends With You -LIVE Remix-. The game will be for iOS and Android devices and takes place in a parallel universe, similar to the Another Day bonus chapter in the original game. Players will be divided into teams of 20 and hunt down "Ringleader Noise" in order to earn points for the end of the week. Sounds like it won't have a lot of story to it. Oh, but they did mention the new character. They're calling her "Atarashi
Earlier this week Square Enix announced another remake of The World Ends With You: a social game titled The World Ends With You -LIVE Remix-. There isn't really any information at this point, but apparently it'll be released in Japan this winter. I wish I could post this in the TWEWY topic, but it kinda died. D: Thank God they announced it sensibly this time, rather than overdoing it with a one-week countdown like last time. Although the fact that this is a social game still throws some of
Well, I'm back from both Isshu and Pennsylvania. (I've been playing a lot of Pokemon White 2 and I went to Pennsylvania for a family event.) I'm in that awkward phase of post-story play where all my potential opponents are either too weak or too strong... And if you're wondering about my team: Serperior, Keldeo, Genesect, White Kyurem, Gigalith (all Level 72), and Chandelure (Level 74). Believe it or not, I actually managed to update the Spirit Index! The list now goes to 1573--new Spirits ar
(Otherwise known as "An Abridged History of the Bioni-Lords Saga." This was originally done for a school paper, but I've made some edits to it since then. It's still probably not very good. Anywho, here we go...) I’m not original—never was. That’s why fanfiction has always appealed to me: you already have an idea to start with, you just need to take it and work with it. When I’m in a particularly good mood, I say that my creativity lies in combining and twisting pre-existing ideas rather tha
Vegeta! What does the Scouter say about the number of views this blog has? "IT'S OVER 9000!!" WHAT 9000?! There's no way that can be right!! ...Ahem. I'd like to thank all of you who've viewed my blog thus far, even if you just stumbled in, realized it was lame, and walked right back out. This is sort of a forecast entry. Since I'm running low on topics and you guys probably don't want to hear me rant about my characters like I did in my last entry, I've decided that this Saturday will
Well, it was fun being Lexaeus, but I've decided it's time to check back in with Pahrak. Looks like he got kicked out of Shibuya and wound up on Cybertron. Now he transforms into an ankylosaurus! On to Bioni-Lords. After I posted Kako 30 earlier this week, I contacted the Epic Critics Club to ask for another review. I just felt like I should get some new opinions, especially since I sort of wanted Kako to be a good place for newcomers to jump in. Since I don't want to create more work for
But first, obligatory Bioni-Lords update: Kako 29 was posted earlier this week, currently typing Kako 30 and will probably get it up either today or Monday, and I've started writing Kako 31. Also, I must call to your attention that this November, Square Enix is holding a The World Ends With You concert in Shibuya. Since I cannot put how awesome this is into words, that is all I have to say. Okay, Tokyo Game Show news! (If there's anything else relevant to my interests revealed later today o
Finally got Kako 28 posted the other day. Started working on Kako 29, which will have a Tag Match against Stratoro and Kopuju (the Ice-Lord from Book 1). Haven't decided if Kopuju will be in any chapters after this or if it's just a cameo... Oh, I almost forgot... Yeah, the Word Document for Kako passed 100 pages. Wooo~! Also, Phoenixian Wraith has started up a new spin-off: Bioni-Lords Origins: Phaenyx! Check it out! I'll put a link on the website soon. There are also a few new
That's why I'm a little late today--was taking pictures of ZMoC-17. Think I'm going to wait until the gallery is public until I post the topic, though. This model might look familiar to those of you who played Bionifight 4... I updated the Spirit Index, although I think there's only one new Spirit...been a while since I made a proper update. Remember when I made a big deal about that TWEWY themed countdown? Yeah, it turned out to be an iOS remake. Since the fandom was expecting more, we
41. This may not appeal to everyone, but those of us who have played Final Fantasy will catch a few references throughout TWEWY. The material pins (Orichalcum, Adamantite, etc) are named after Final Fantasy items, there are a number of pins named after summons (Tin Pin Bahamut, Tin Pin Shiva, etc) that you get from encounters with characters who just happen to share names with Square employees, and then there's Minamimoto's "Lv. i Flare" (though that takes too long to explain). Think of these
31. Beat, whose real name is too complicated for me to write out, is the kind of person I would hate if I met him on the street. He's a tough guy punk with a skateboard and a bad attitude, and he's not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. Over the course of the game, though, we begin to uncover more of Beat's character and backstory, and by the end you begin to admire him for his determination. Being able to take a character so far from their first impression isn't easy, but Beat is a fan
21. Every Thread and Pin is assigned one of 13 brands (or left unbranded), which seems like nothing more than an organizational thing, right? Wrong! Each area has its own brand chart detailing which brands are popular and which brands are not. If you have a Pin from one of the three most popular brands, they get a power boost, but if they're way down at rank 13, they get power reductions. Still, the brands aren't set in stone--wearing Threads and Pins from a specific brand and fighting battl
11. In most cases, slang is nothing but flat-out silly. However, with the notable exception of Beat (whose overuse of slang is part of his character), TWEWY keeps the sland to a manageable level—it helps keep the game feeling different, but doesn’t overdo it. A prime example: your miscellaneous items are referred to as “swag”—and not the obnoxious definition. 12. The game does only have one save file, but multiple people can still play it. Once you beat the game, you unlock the Chapters Menu,
(I just figured I'd make one of these each day this week. You'll see why in a minute! If you've played TWEWY, feel free to drop by to reminisce, and if you haven't played it, please stay tuned to find out why should look into this obscure gem of gaming.) 1. As you might expect, a lot of TWEWY fans would love a sequel—it’s a great game and we’d like more. But at the same time, the reason we haven’t been louder about it over the past 4-5 years is because TWEWY is capable of standing on its own
Well, I have to go back to school on Monday. Oh well, I'm sure the day won't be completely ruined. If nothing else, it'll get me close to GameStop, who will be distributing Keldeo to Pokemon Black and White players. And, hm...I think there was something else... Oh yeah, THAT'S WHEN THE COUNTDOWN ON THE SUBASEKA TEASER EXPIRES WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! *Ahem* ...I'm just...really excited. I even made a The World Ends With You topic so I'd have other BZPers to be excited with (and also to se
As requested, I've put links to the review topics for the Bioni-Lords stories on Exo's Desk, plus a few new Spirits have been put up. There are also a few more that I want to get up soon--a new submission from Keizah, and another Psionic Spirit (I haven't forgotten about getting the number to 70, it's just taking a little while...one more!). Kako 26 is up, and 27 is written. I will definitely start typing 27 today, but I can't promise I'll finish it today...if not today, then Monday. I'm wo
I've officially begun updating the Spirit Index with new Spirits! Not done yet...not sure when I will be done, but it'll probably be soon. I have a slew of Dream Eater Spirits to get online, then a Spirit that Wraith sent in, then some new Pokemon Spirits, and then...since there were already several groups of "alternate Freres," I decided to do a new batch of my own. Probably won't be in the story at all, just thought they'd be fun to try out--see what they'd be like if I made them nowadays.
Guess who beat KH3D and unlocked the secret movie in under 25 hours of game time? (Though I realize there are probably plenty of people who have done it in less time...) But you guys probably don't want me to ramble on about my feelings, so I'll move on. I've started working on several Bioni-Spirits inspired by KH3D--not sure exactly how many there will be, but I'm determined to make enough that there will be at least 70 Psionic Spirits! These should be done soon-ish. And yes, a decent num
You may have noticed that I made a rather significant change to my display name. The reason is this, in case you're wondering. (And because Lexaeus has a power level of OVER 9000!!) In other Kingdom Hearts news, KH3D comes out on Tuesday!! So yeah, I'll be more or less disappearing off the face of the Internet until I beat it. Should take a week at most. In that time I will do my best to continue writing Kako and whatnot...also making tons of Bioni-Spirits based on Dream Eaters. Fun stuff
