“Well, Wi-Fi’s officially off, guess I’ll go with my sister to Starbucks to see how much I made last week and see what’s going on on the internet. Yeah, may as well check video game news, probably noth—“ “Kingdom Hearts Unchained X, a smartphone port of Kingdom Hearts X coming to iOS and Android, definitely coming to North America, will release (in Japan at least) some time in 2015.” “…Today is a good day.”
My Dad is trying to get us all out of our current house, so leading up to that, our Internet is going down Sunday night. I’ll still probably have some locations I can connect but won’t be able to as frequently until we get settled in our new apartment, so my activity might be a little lower in the near future. (Hm, now that I think about it, I really don’t post a whole lot, so maybe the change won’t be so noticeable?) As for the apartment, we’re still working out the details on that, but progr

It’s common knowledge that Kingdom Hearts keeps using “new” characters that turn out to be new iterations of old characters, best summed up by that classic graphic explaining the series: “Everyone is Xehanort. Everyone else is Sora.” There’s even a point in the series where Xemnas (a Xehanort) taunts Sora (a Sora) about how all these other people made Sora who he is and asking if he is really his own person. Sora brushes it off, and I was wondering if maybe that line/idea could come back later,
Haha remember when I started Shooting Star Sonia and I said I would try not to take too long between chapters and then didn’t get anything done with it since I posted the first chapter about two months ago WELL, I finally finished Chapter 2! I have some concerns about it, but hopefully I’ll figure out what needs work as I keep going, and then I can always go back and revise later. This begins the episodic “Attack of the FM-ians!” format, and it also introduces the supporting cast and talks a
It was just announced that Akira Toriyama will be working on a new anime sequel to Dragon Ball, entitled "Dragon Ball Super", starting this July, confirming previous rumors that a new series was being worked on. Details are currently very scarce, but we have been told that the plot will be a short time after the defeat of Kid Buu; presumably it will follow the recent movies "Battle of Gods" and "Revival of F", both of which are set in that general timeframe and heavily involved Toriyama. On o
A new fighter for Pokken Tournament has been announced! If type immunity comes into play then this is a very broken fighter we are looking at. They probably won't, of course...though Gengar could still be broken who knows. Personally I'm hoping the game gets representatives for each Generation and type, but it'll be awhile before we'll know about that. I'm just really excited, I want to play this game.
But this is important For starters, it looks like Bleach might actually be getting somewhere, so that’s nice. Also glad to see confirmation of that character’s status, and unlike a lot of “character avoided death!” reveals, this one could actually be interesting. A small amount of hope for Bleach has been restored. The bigger news is that the Naruto spin-off featuring the next generation has started. Looks like it’ll run for three parts (not sure if that means three weeks in a row or not?
Looking back, I'm quite amused with how Square Enix announced the title of KH3D. At that time, some of the most recent titles were "358/2 Days" and "Birth by Sleep". We had been told the meanings would be clear after we played the games, but they weren't, so interviewers ended up asking Nomura what they meant and he gave answers that still only made limited sense. So then they announce "Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance", and they decide to just cut to the chase and say "the meaning we
Okay so I don’t talk about my personal life on here a lot, I like to be vague about it, but I’ve been feeling sort of stressed and the idea to vent some of it here won’t get out of my head. Stuffed behind spoiler tags of course. This is mainly for my own benefit so, you know, move along, we don’t need to see your identification and all that.
"I've completed the research I wanted to do, and...I can't believe I'm saying this, but the data does seem to suggest that your initial hypothesis was correct." "Water is, in fact, for wimps."
(Some spoilers of course) While I do hope the upcoming Kingdom Hearts announcement has to do with X and its potential localization, there are a few other possibilities I’d like to see explored in Kingdom Hearts games. Not sure how likely any of them are to be this new smartphone game, and if not, then they’re probably not going to happen because we probably would have heard something by now, but…you know. Something that a lot of people have proposed is a game with Kairi and Lea training to b
Asterisk Holder: Braev Lee Origin: Final Fantasy Tactics Was It In Bravely Default?: Yes Overview: Templars are masters of offense as well as defense. Their armor can take the harshest punishment, and their swords can deal it back tenfold. They have access to several attacks using the rare Light element, and can store up to 4 BP rather than the default 3. Templars like to focus on critical hits, and have abilities that enable critical hits on magic and even items, in addition to a gu
Sorta. It was mostly a heads-up, I guess? Plus a pre-announcement that might have been overshadowed a little. Nomura was interviewed and, after some talk about the new Dissidia for arcades, said Kingdom Hearts III was going well and there will be some news at the D23 Expo this November. I was just wondering when they’d make the next announcement…but, does this mean they won’t have anything to say about it at E3? Seems a little weird. He also said that D23 would have news on a new smartph
Asterisk Holder: Alternis Dim Origin: Final Fantasy II (character), Final Fantasy III (as “Magic Knight”) Was It In Bravely Default?: Yes Overview: Dark Knights are powerhouses who specialize in giving up their own HP to execute mega-powerful dark-element attacks, putting them at high risk if you don’t have a healer ready. Should you keep them alive though, they can easily wipe the field, so figuring out how to best make use of them is definitely worth it. Personal Thoughts: I guess D
Christina is mad about Steins;Gate 0 taking place in a worldline where she is dead, so she went to the Sinnoh region and used a growth serum to make a Giga Turtwig. She is now training it. When it evolves into a kaiju-sized Torterra, then she’ll make them pay.
Asterisk Holder: Unknown Origin: Final Fantasy Tactics Was It In Bravely Default?: No Overview: The Holy Magic of a Bishop can heal and revive allies, as well as enhance magic. They can cast Heal, power up a spell by casting it twice, and turn damage taken during Default into HP restoration. Personal Thoughts: Sounds sort of redundant. With so few spots left though, I’m going to guess this is replacing Spiritmaster. Bishops in the Final Fantasy games seem to be Red Mage knock-offs, b
Wait, Bravely Second is going to have 30 Jobs, 28 are now confirmed, but there are still six Jobs from Bravely Default that haven’t been confirmed… Oh no I mean I guess we don’t need every Job back, but it’s still kind of sad. It’s entirely possible that one or both of the remaining Job slots could be another new Job (Emperor, maybe?), but here are the Bravely Default Jobs that have yet to be seen and may have been cut: -Spell Fencer ( D: ) -Salve-Maker (We’re all glad Qada’s dead so this
Asterisk Holder: Unknown Origin: Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings Was It In Bravely Default?: No Overview: Fencers are said to be able to increase their defense ("Bison Horn") and speed ("Falcon Claw"). They fight using special sword techniques. Personal Thoughts: We don’t have much to go on, so I can’t really say a whole lot. I’m not sure what sort of sword techniques are available that won’t overlap with Swordmaster, though. Apparently, in the Final Fantasy games where this is a Job,
So I have decided to go ahead and cut three of the Queens in Divine Strength, and I’m beginning to rewrite what I’ve got so far. One thing that’s coming up is that a Queen who was cut was relating a story to two of the Queens. I could just have someone else tell the tale, but the thing is, I covered the event (and a related event a year later) in two of the short stories I wrote for Fiction Writing this semester, and I kind of like how they turned out. So, I’m considering putting those stories i
There's a fine line between "callback" and "rehash" and it sounds like we might've crossed it Also Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is such a mouthful I get what they were going for but Super Saiyan God 2 would've flowed better
The new Regular Show was a half-hour of mecha anime references including but not limited to an opening parodying Cruel Angel's Thesis and combining with the moon via drills And it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen I never wanted to like this show but I've also never been able to resist it I wasn't sure they could top revealing one of the characters to be a Russian spy but they found a way Congratulations Cartoon Network
When I beat Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix a while ago, I made a big deal about Aqua’s final line: “There is always hope.” Now, one can get nitpicky and say that isn’t really the final line of the game, there’s still that thing with Sora and Riku after the credits and then you could count the Secret Movie and the Secret Episode, but for all intents and purposes let’s just treat “There is always hope” as the final line of Birth by Sleep since it’s not in a secret thing and serves more as
So a Steins;Gate sequel was announced. I mean there have been novels and spin-offs and drama CDs, all of which I want to read/play/listen to at some point, but this is, like, a full-on sequel. And not only are they making a new visual novel, they are also going to go right ahead and make a new anime based on it. So this could be really cool. There are a lot of questions, I need to try not to get too worked up just yet. Regardless, I’m hoping they go a bit more into why Kyouma has
