Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the Hype is REAL

It's not a con, it's real guys, it's REAL. Final Fantasy 7 is going to be remade for the PS4, with the chances of it eventually being multi-platform as well.

When Final Fantasy 7 came out, that was the time I was already living in Japan. At first I found it really hard to make friends. I was in another country, so mom bought me a playstation and a few games, one of them being Final Fantasy 7. Through this game, through gaming I was able to meet lots of friends.

I remember one thing fondly, and it's going to be the oddest thing too. It was the weekend and I was playing up in my room during the summer, really hot day and the floor was super hot. But I was in Sector Six, specifically the Wall Market area trying to get all the stuff to crossdress. None of my friends could get Corneo to pick Cloud but I did it. I remembered running over to the phone and trying to dial in to get to their phone number on the naval base. I called so many Japanese people that day on accident.

Eventually that same day I told my mom that I was going out to the base to go over to my friends house for the day and made the hour long walk to go meet them. I bought a giant can of Coca-Cola for 120 yen and a can of CC Lemon as well.

This was during the time that the internet wasn't so great, you know when dial up was a thing.

I have such fond memories of this game, and most Final Fantasy games up til 10 actually. I cannot wait for this to come out. I'm still surprised that it is coming out to be honest.

Bloodborne is out...I need a PS4

The endless cycle continues

Usually I am not the type of person who buys a console or anything during its early stages, but Bloodborne just recently came out on the PS4 and I just cannot stop watching let's plays of it to satiate my desire to play it. Right now I'm watching theRadBrad playing as a lady through Bloodborne. And I got to say it really not only is my cup of metaphorical tea, but the female model looks damn well nice and makes me want to actually play as a girl.

While Hidetaka Miyazaki said it has the DNA of Demon Souls, it's its own thing, and not a successor to the game which a lot of people thought it would be. But you know what I am ok with that. Honestly though, I would have never thought I would have loved the games that From Software put out as they don't seem like the things I would play; but I fell in love with the Soul series. I think I'm just a glutton for punishment, though things like dying constantly don't bug me.

Anyway back to Bloodborne, the gothic style of the game just really makes me happy as it's an aesthetic I really love. As those are the types of fantasy situations I would write about when I was a kid and would pretend I was a hero in fighting against all sorts of spiritual and fairytale apparitions and monsters. I remember when I was young back in elementary school, a girl who liked anime back then let me borrow her VHS copy of Vampire Hunter D and my mom and I watched it together. I think it was that and the combination of the Adams Family that lead me down the gothic aesthetic.

Which means that Bloodborne feels like nostalgic to me without honestly playing it yet. But it feels like a thing I need to play. So I'll just have to get one soon after saving up for a bit. Hopefully by then there will be even more games I want for the system instead of a few choice ones.

Sony Computer Entertainment of Japan new Josei Works

Well Sony of Japan has finally announced a new PS Vita color scheme and it was a highly anticipated combo. White x Pink.

After tax it's about 20,498 yen

Now for Japan this is recommended for "Girls" which seemed to have gotten a lot of people all up in a storm about all sorts of things (sexist marketing among others). But seems to be highly taken out of context not only in his words but in a social setting as well.

The first problem is if you actually sit through the entire conference (which I did for the whole thing) you'll notice what was first put up.

All those Josei titles coming out at the end of the year

Any person who is in to anime or games aired towards women would know that this whole genre that are up in the TVs right now are probably "Josei" titles. Josei as a word itself in Japanese can be used to describe various female things from the gender itself to femininity. Though in manga/anime titles Josei is aimed towards older women who have gotten past reading shojou comics and moved on to more adult themes.

Through the entire ladies interest they were talking about the sucess with the PSP and how much more women interest is out. And due to the overwhelming interest the PS Vita in white x pink was born. There was talk about the color being flowerlike and how you could even match it with your lifestyle. Lifestyle could mean to make it match your daily coordination or even go and deco it up in crystals or foods.

Do I think this announcement was made with ill intent? Of course not, it was Sony seeing a need in the market and trying to fill that. The fact that it was recommended to a certain demographic means that they were their market and want to get out to it.

I swear its because of backlash like this that Sony of Japan hardly if ever sends out their other colors of their machines.

Though I am starting to understand why they say the PS Vita is J-gamer paradise as all the games I want to play seem to be going in that way that they're only from Japan and either have been localized or a VN of some sort.
