Bravely Default: Flying Fairy ブレブリーデフォルト

最近、スクエニによってもう直ぐブレブリーデフォルトのデモが出る。　ファミ通の記事がブレブリーはFFっぽい雰囲気があると書きました。　若しこのゲームは神ゲーになったら俺は３DSを買うべき人になる。。。糞！そんなにお金持ってない！

Recently　Square Enix's　stated that a demo for Bravely Default will become available. According to an article in Famitsu magazine the game has a very distinct FF feeling to it. If this games ends up being a really amazing game I'm going have to end up purchasing a 3DS. Dammit! I don't have that kind of money!

宣伝が現している女は超セクシーと思う。。でもヤリマンらしくない。
I think the girl in the advertisement looks really hot. Yet not slutty.

Satellaview

Here is what their saying:
Big beard guy: Even those the packaging gives you this kind of feeling (I guess he is meaning the cartoon) its real! (experience, stuff)
Girl Beneath: I wonder if I can become a Bass Pro also...
Green Shirted boy: Its more fun because we have a Satellaview right!?

(A satellite modem for the Super Famicom.)
Squirrel: Get ride of your trash okay?
Fisherman: I have had 30 years experience fishing and even I'm satisfied with this.
Baby being held by fisherman: I haven't ever fished before but this is interesting (fun)!
Duck: Be careful with the birds in the water!

I thought you might find my translation interesting.

Xenoblade US release trailer

All I have to say is Awesome sauce! It seems that North America is getting Xenoblade this coming April. As long as it isn't on April 1st I believe them. Gamestop has pre-orders and apparently you can get the game from Nintendo.com's store. Whether you believe me or not is up to you. Either way you can still feast your eyes on the North American trailer below.

Eye On Japan Special RPG Talk: North Americans say SCREW YOU NINTENDO!

Many people have been supporting the efforts of Operation Rainfall (a group who has been actively pursuing answers and attempting to persuade Nintendo of America into action on Xenoblade, Pandora’s tower and Last Story localization.) there link can be found here http://oprainfall.blogspot.com/ .

However despite all our efforts Nintendo of America has chosen the casual Iphone app on your big screen loving gamers over the people who made Nintendo what it was today. Yeah sure Nintendo is doing great in Europe but you know what Nintendo? Europe used to not even have a market for games especially JRPGS, almost none were sent there. If it weren’t for North Americans also supporting these games Nintendo wouldn’t be as big as it is world wide it would have stayed in Japan and small areas of Asia. So Screw you Nintendo for Screwing us. I know this is probably a ploy to get Ninendo of Europe to do all your hard translation work so you can just port it to North America but outright denying us Xenoblade while releasing Last Story is SICK! I hope the developers Mistwalker never work with you again since your holding their amazing product back. If these games are never released here I might as well boycott Nintendo. Sure we get amazing RPGs on the DS but those are usually published by other companies and only have to get hardware rights from Nintendo. This message is Nintendo our right slapping us RPG gamers in the face. SCREW YOU NINTENDO! ------------------RANT OVER.

Whew, after taking a breather from that I’m back. That wasn’t the only news I had today but it was something I had to get off my chest. Anyways, in other news Final Fantasy XI is not only alive and kicking but is getting new content and new spells all the time. I’m starting to wonder why Square-Enix doesn’t just release an HD patch for this and market it seriously again. This spell looks pretty serious though. I might have to keep an eye out on this game again. Not that I would betray the perfect Final Fantasy XIV that is!

So for those of you interested in the new tales game on the horizon (Tales of Xillia), there has been some news lately about it. DLC has been announced for the game which will consist of swimwear costume packs of the characters. It was originally thought that these costumes would be unlockable in the game just like they have been in past games but it appears that NamcoBandai is a profit organization after all….man I miss the 90s. Furthermore, where this game was thought to be a PS3 exclusive an Xbox 360 version will now be released, and there is a chance that the 360 one will have the DLC included (Rumor). Lastly it has been noted that the main character of this game says things that are very embarrassing in Japanese. I’m not quite sure how this will translate into English but it should be interesting.

If you understand Japanese any check the dialogue out for yourself. If not then enjoy the good voice acting.

Christmas gaming goodness

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy Newyears to all! I hope everyone had as good of a Holiday season as I have (minus throwing up from bad pizza on Christmas morning). I'm sure many of you got gifts for the Holidays like I did and lets hope that all of them were something special. But enough talking about you guys now lets talk about me and what I got.







First I got a DS XL mario bundle with Mario Kart DS. All I have to say is once you go big you'll never go back. Surpisingly the Mariokart DS is a rather solid game with plenty of retro tracks for us Snes and N64 players. The DS XL has cool art work of Mario's power ups on the front of the case.




Second I received two games (more as graduations presents.) These games were Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals and Magna Carta 2. The Lufia game is a remake of the Snes/Super Famicom RPG Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals. These games are known as Estpolis Denki エストポリス伝記 in Japan. This remake is much different from the original as it is now a puzzle based action RPG much like Zelda or Ys instead of a traditional RPG with turn based battles and limited animations like the original. I'm only a few hours in at this point but so far the graphics are amazing, even if the English voice dub leaves a bit to be desired.




Magna Carta 2 is a sequel to the Playstation 2 game Magna Carta Tears of Blood. Anyone who has mentioned the game in my presence before knows that I have a really blood curdling hatred for that game due to its amazing graphics, good story and the worst gameplay of any RPG. However I will save that for another day. Magna Carta 2 , so far, has great graphics, a pretty decent story save for some cliche's and an addictive battle system that is a mixture of Final Fantasy XII and Infinite Undiscovery. So far I rather enjoy the game though the fact that all quests are done in an MMO fashion puzzles me, but it is a Korean developed game.

Lastly I received Final Fantasy: Four Heroes of Light for the Nintendo DS. So far ,though only a few hours in, I love this game. It has the classic story and atmosphere of all those games from 1-5 but with enjoyment of a Jobclass system that feels like a mix between Final Fantasy III and X-2. Moreover the battles are rather well done. They may be a bit too old school for some people's tastes as heroes can only hold fifteen items and have six abilities at once including spells. This aside the personalization of characters and their progress through their levels has never been this under the players sole control as much as it is in this game. However, ignoring all of that, the graphics are the best part of the whole package. The simplistic cell-shaded art-style of these world is simplistic but some how more detailed than the top graphics accelerated PC and PS3 titles. Small things like the wind blowing through the grass or roses growing throughout an evil witch's castle makes this game's world extremely charming. I know this ended up being a small review but I can't help but to give this game my highest recommendation. Every RPG and Retro gaming fan should check it out for a fresh start to the Final Fantasy series.

Happy thanks giving Nintendo!

Years have passed and Mario is now 25! Wow has Nintendo given us a lot of cultural moments to remember.

So for those of us who are feeling old, nastalgic and long for days real non-wii Nintendo here is a moment from Nintendo history to help you through the Holiday blues.

Thanks for everything Nintendo.

Happy Thanksgiving!
