    I'd focus on writing since you're not really feeling any games right now. Seems like a good time to do it.

    I'm kind of back in a SaGa kick, so I'm doing NG+ on RS2. I'm thinking I may put that on hold and finally tackle Unlimited SaGa and see what the hooplah is on this game.

    I had a blast with Majora's Mask, I just go back and forth with the time loop mechanics. It was definitely a fun experience for me back in the day as well.

    Coincidentally, I just finished VIIR and I can now safely wash my hands of it. It was like going through the Compilation again, just even more self-congratulatory.

    Oh, cool. I'll be here then.

    That video was amusing.

    I do love it when a game is good enough that you honestly just don't want it to end.

    Yeah Ikana Valley was one of the best parts of the game for me. Still hate the Zora section.It was just designed to eat up your time.

    I never liked that boss fight. The next section is my favorite of the dungeons.

    I'm probably having a rougher time here because we're going through my favorite section of the original. I'm sure if the Whispers were pulling this trout in Junon or during the Big Materia quest, I'd be like "whatever" but I am playing the part of the game I actually do have real nostalgia for, so I'm probably being more sensitive than I thought I would be. I must say, this game has the best Aerith I've seen since the original. She's been a whoot and I like how she doesn't put up with Cloud's trout.

    I did find a really cool mix based off the Akira OST. Thought you might like it.

    I feel with FFXIII, KH, and WoFF that SE has kind of tapped out their "weird" quota for the decade. I'm kind of tired of watching them take good premises and then see some weird troll logic applied to it to make it "interesting" when it really just makes it kind of ridiculous.

    The other issue is that this game is giving off the Crisis Core vibe all over again. When it's good, usually by playing the plot straight, it's really good. Yet every time they throw in this weird fanfictiony bulltrout into the plot, it just jerks you out of the experience and makes you resent them for ruining what could have been a good thing. Like I'm fine with the plot making changes from the original, I am even cool with the idea the plot may completely change halfway through and go in a completely new direction. I just don't like the silly concept of how they are doing it. I would have been happier if they had dropped them entirely, just changed stuff subtly like in RoE and then completely go off rails as they went along, than to make a big spectacle about "Hey we're changing the plot and the bad guys are thinly-veiled take that of fans who wanted a 1:1 remake! Aren't we so clever?". I guess my issue is that the lost potential here is too great to appreciate the schadenfreude, especially since I feel like Nomura has been kind of pulling this crap a little too often lately.

Part of your world

by Fynn on 06-06-2017 at 04:37 PM
So there's this nagging issue I've had for quite some time now. It's a pretty abstract issue but one I think is pretty interesting and perhaps even important to share nonetheless. For many reasons, it has only become more pronounced recently.

As some of you may know, I want to be a writer. I try to do as much writing as I can. I even do writing for a living, though as an SEO copywriter, it's not exactly that I have an opportunity to spread my creative wings as part of what keeps giving

On FFVII (part of my Fmarathon rant)

by Fynn on 11-23-2016 at 11:16 AM
Decided this is worthy of being a blog-post, since it turned out to be a much bigger rant than I expected and I'm not sure the marathon's audience is really there for that kind of stuff

So far, I can say that

Frustrations of the writerly sort

by Fynn on 07-01-2016 at 11:13 AM
So there's this thing I've been struggling for quite some time. I don't want to call it a "writer's block" because it kind of seems like an excuse for being lazy. And it usually doesn't last long. This is something that's been eating at me for a long time.

I just kinda feel that I can't write anymore.

I mean, I still write articles for the site sometimes and I write other texts at my work, but it seems like, creatively, I've dried up. I'll come up with ideas

On story expectations

by Fynn on 03-30-2016 at 11:57 AM
So this is kind of a general discussion, but the general rant I have is based on three popular 3DS RPGs: Bravely Default, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Shin Megami Tensei IV. Sorry if this is chaotic, as I'm just writing this as it comes into my mind. Also, spoilers from the three games abound.

All of those games were very well received, though for different reasons. SMT is kind of here to serve as a neutral ground, as the evaluation of its story is pretty divided, whereas the consensus

Character Appreciation: Junpei Iori

by Fynn on 03-30-2016 at 10:37 AM
This is in no way an idea I stole from Pumpkin, no siree.


Junpei Iori is a character from the Persona franchise. He first appears in Persona 3 and all of its subsequent releases as a playable party member. He becomes a social link character as well in the female path of Persona 3 Portable, though he isn't date-able. He is also playable in
