“At long last, fantasy has become a force that frees people from anxiety. The harbinger of change for a deadlocked reality…”

One of the few games I delighted in 100% ‘ing
This is a reach but I’m curious if this means the third installment of the Final Fantasy VII Remake project will be on the Switch 2? Don’t own one yet…but still…curious.

There seems to be this prevalent attitude in the JRPG space especially that classic fantasy stories are "generic" or "boring."

Me? Give me all the classic fantasy stories. I will never tire of them.

People say FF16's story isn't Final Fantasy enough? Sure it is

Cool guy protagonist with a shady past? Bunch of cartoon villains as bosses? An even bigger cartoon villain who crawls out of the woodwork in the last 10 hours and renders the rest of the story mostly irrelevant? They got this!

ICO (2001)

Y la vi allí, mirando al horizonte y supe que tomarla de la mano y arrastrarla interrumpiendo ese momento sería el peor de los crímenes.

Atesoro esa estampa y algún día lo terminaré pero, hasta entonces, esa imagen vive grabada a fuego dentro de mi.

This is a fair reason for many to play ICO only once. New Game Plus does have additional features, but it doesn't change the puzzles, and combat just becomes longer (due to x2 Enemy HP).

A 2nd playthrough is more likely to happen after a notable gap in time for players, so it feels fresh again.
I said it's good for 1 playthrough, because the puzzles and combat segments have rather binary solutions. The biggest difference you can make is improving your efficiency, with no extrinsic rewards (afaik) or greatly expanded possibility space. It's great to sit down with the first time tho.

Felt very euphoric leaving PSU midafternoon followed by a short false-spring walk to the library. It’s nice to be reminded of how much I love this city.

The key to a peaceful life on bsky is to vet everyone you come across on your feed.

Don't follow someone just because they made a funny post or have tons of followers. The chance that they're making posts that you don't agree with fundamentally at some point is higher than you'd think.

Dumb question- but do switch one games run better on the switch 2 just by virtue of being played on better hardware or do you specifically have to have enhanced versions?

Specifically asking for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 lol

Hi! Just wanted to share this article with you, 'cause I used to search a lot in your site to find stuff such as the japanese manuals, the Ramses Younan art that Ueda used for reference and that HD render of the idols in Ico! I hope you enjoy it somehow <3

Unfortunately, the MIDI files seemingly weren't preserved by the Wayback Machine, but the gallery is filled with wonderful sketches and art.

The 'takaramono' (宝物) section has art that other artists made for あおみら (aomira), the site admin.
