    Elden Ring

    Ok, so first real test went off 4-7am my time (played Guardian), and then they announced a make-up from 12-15 which just wrapped up a bit ago (played Recluse), and then there's another one from 20-23 later today. Suffice to say, I'm getting my hours in. :monster: The first session was when I...

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    So in playing through the new Ever Crisis: Crisis Core chapter about the Nibelheim Incident there's something odd that stood out. In the "Genesis shows up to the reactor when Sephiroth is having a breakdown" scene he mentions Jenova arrived 1999 years ago. Now the "2000 years ago" has always...

    Elden Ring

    So, the first Network Test was VERY full of network struggles. Most of the time was them doing unexpected server maintenance, and I didn't manage to get into any of the actual sessions – which was pretty close to what most people encountered. However I did get some time to meander around the...

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    I am quite curious if there'll be any association of Cetra lineage with him & Da-Chao, especially given the visual elements with Cosmo Canyon & Wutai in Remake/Rebirth. Also, thanks for the reminder about Buno D'rhad. I totally forgot about that one, because I actually ended up being hard stuck...

    Elden Ring

    The Japanese Playstation blog article has some info about FP restoration, and it looks like FP is a VERY precious resource. (It's very much worth going through that one, since unfortunately the English PlayStation blog doesn't currently have any of this info yet). Apparently you can recover FP...

    Elden Ring

    Release Date officially announced – May 30th!! Regular/digital versions can be preordered wherever, and the Deluxe editions won't be up in the Bandai Namco store until April 'cause of digital rennovations. Some official gameplay (without HUD) is up from Famitsu as well. Bandai Namco also...

    Arcane

    That's interesting and has a lot of good food for thought. All-in-all, while I think that I agree that it's often more Centrist than genuinely Left – I don't see this exactly from the same perspective for why a lot of the time, and I actually think that they end up criticizing the show for being...

    Elden Ring

    Got my Redeem code for the Nightreign Network Test today!! Initially I couldn't redeem it because it wasn't valid for my region, which reminded me that PSN accounts are perma-region locked. So, I went and set up a new EU-based PSN account to grab access to the store. That took a bit, but I...

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    I wanted to get into this as well but also split it out from the post about potentially updating the timeline & whatnot. @Suzaku Do you happen to have any clean assets for the character Masamune? There're some VERY interesting bits of his design that I want to dig into, and it'd be nice to have...

    1997 V Jump Scan (feat. Zack and Shinra Execs)

    Ah, ok. That makes a lot more sense for a version of the ambiguity around that third line. The context of not being able to stay at Aerith's/multiple girls' places and then scrapping his plans completely in the following line with the other two being explicitly plural is a bit odd, but it does...

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    I've been poking around at this game again the last few days, and I really wish that the Story screen would make it more apparent when there's unplayed content, because seeing "Complete" for FFVII, Crisis Core, & The First SOLDIER, and it took me forever to realize that I could scroll down to...

    1997 V Jump Scan (feat. Zack and Shinra Execs)

    Some of them are directly relevant (although the level of rage over "we're" is... wild) :monster: TurquoiseHammer's translation notes for the line 「みんなの世話んなって……」 specifically states, "maybe a more accurate translation of this would be "I don't mind freeloadin; off 'em." It's more of a...

    1997 V Jump Scan (feat. Zack and Shinra Execs)

    The segment of the quote from the flashback that I grabbed in my former post, 「みんなの世話んなって... あ、どの女の子も親といっしょに住んでるのか...」is actually something where Hito's translated that particular nuance for clarity (...albeit like 12 years ago in the LTD thread). So I'll actually just grab that quote directly...

    data-mining games

    While I've never attempted data mining as it's rather significantly far outside of my own skill set, I do have a bit of exposure to some subsets of folks who do data mining via the Souls community with things like Bloodborne & Elden Ring as I've dropped very briefly into the DMs or Discords of...

    1997 V Jump Scan (feat. Zack and Shinra Execs)

    High five for having the specific source citing on those references! Massively appreciated. Since I noticed that you've previously cited the Dengeki PSP Vol. 397 before with specific quotes from that & the CC Ultimania, I was wondering if you happen to know if there're any scans of that issue...

    1997 V Jump Scan (feat. Zack and Shinra Execs)

    I actually don't recall if the specific text of Zack's letter is present as readable content on the main 3 game discs – but I don't think so. I know that the various dialogue paths with Zack's parents cover Zack having written them a letter 6-7 years ago and having a girlfriend ONLY if Aerith...

    Elden Ring

    I got it into the Network Test, & the codes for that are gonna be sent out on Feb 11th! Probably won't have the energy to get a stream up, but I'll make sure to save clips during the play sessions, and toss them up after. :monster: X :neo:

    1997 V Jump Scan (feat. Zack and Shinra Execs)

    Yeah, I was gonna mention that this letter itself is even something that's explicitly in the 4th disc contents as well: X :neo:

    What games are you currently playing?

    Been bashing around in Dynasty Warriors Origins lately. Even though it's a bit clunky in its presentation places and feels like they stitched a more linear story together with a different more branching RPG for the narrative parts, it's still that fun Musuo gameplay that I'm admittedly rather...

    Elden Ring

    I had the SotE art books show up today, and got reminded of something I hadn't thought of in a long time when I saw the concept art of Metyr. In the Lands of Shadow, when looking at the above-ground Finger Ruins that have that big tonal bell/whistle in the center and the fingerprint rippling...
