One last post before December officially begins, I was just browsing about and I came upon a most curious little image. Now I knew this was coming, but the thought of it managed to give my mind the old slip.
Well as the picture on the left side here will blatantly give away, Kingdom Hearts is still very much alive and well!
In my own personal experience, I played a fair amount of both Kingdom Hearts games (my girlfriend was much more into these, I was the call in for the rough boss fights!). But when it came down to Chain of Memories, I think I played a grand total of about 5-10 minutes at most.
Speaking of my girlfriend, at least she now had something to look forward to after she resigned herself in knowing that the Final Mix was not coming to our shores.
As for me, maybe I'll even give this thing another go... and maybe play it for 20-25 minutes this time around.
What I'd really like to know is if/when will there be a Kingdom Hearts 3? I mean the story is obviously NOT over yet and the Heartless must be stopped once and for all. I just hope it does not end up like Chrono Trigger (as I wrote about in my previous writing) and ends up coming out years from now. Wow, I can even tact this little ditty onto a little game called Final Fantasy XIII as well.
Then again, I think I may have already answered myself on that count. If I am not mistaken here, but isn't there a number of spin-off games based off of Kingdom Hearts coming out in the near future? Meh. Outlook: Bleak.
I guess I'll just be stuck here, just waiting around and playing whatever random game is released that catches (and holds onto) my attention.
Oh well.
So after all of these many long years, Chrono Trigger is finally re-released! I mean granted there is/was/still is the SNES ROM of the game somewhere out there, but this is the real thing now! Kind of makes me wonder what took Square Enix so long to get to this game? Did they believe it wouldn't sell or something?
If that was the case, why did Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant get out before this? I haven't heard much good about either of those and yet it manages to beat out a LEGEND such as Chrono Trigger? Where is the logic in this situation? Where I ask?!
Anyway, I think it will be interesting to see how much was changed from what the original CT was. I hope the game has not been entirely altered or "updated" as they like to describe it. What was there to change anyway? Was it not a masterpiece in it of itself? Would someone dare to take the Mona Lisa and "update" her? Maybe some hot pink hair coloring, a nose ring and some dark black eye liner would help spruce up the old girl?
Yeah, I think not.
Maybe I am spoiled, maybe I am just impossibly hoping to cling onto the past. Maybe that is where my head is, right along side my beaten and battered heart.
Wow, to the emo side, yet, I may go?
Considering the amount of time taken for this re-release to see the light of day, maybe in another 5-15 years we'll see Final Fantasy VII "updated" and re-released on the PSXXXVIII X-Treme and the Xbox 45,360 Gold Series with White-Ray technology, with a built in nuclear microwave oven and a on-board flat screen plasma projection screen.
As you can easily see, I cannot even begin to fathom what console systems might be like in the future beyond tomorrow. Still, imagine a gaming system that had like a built in house or something? Now that would be, like, totally awesome...?
Oops, side tracked like no other!
So yes, now I can add onto my growing list of games I am either playing or will be in the very near future. At the rate I am going now, I might just have myself backstocked with games up until the day finally arrives when Final Fantasy VII is re-released!
For any and all who read my blog today, here's hoping you all have a safe, enjoyable Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it). It is a day to remember what you are thankful for in your life and I know everyone has to have something they are thankful for.
Me? I'm thankful for my good health, being able to live and be happy with my girlfriend. Sure there are rough patches, but that comes with the territory, I know that part. Besides that, what can I really complain about? Work is work, I still manage to have time to be a gamer and I still can write as much (or as little) as I chose. At this point in time I can surely say that things are great.
I am also thankful that we won't be having our own turkey this year, since the past 2 years we've had so much left over turkey that we just couldn't eat it any longer. Why did it take us two years to finally make the change? Good question, I don't even know the answer to that one.
Well, one final thought before I give this short and sweet writing it's timely end, and as I mentioned in my previous writing, best of luck to all of yous who brave that which is known as "Black Friday." To face the hordes of rabid shoppers, bargain hunters and all other forms of life, to face the endless lines and the rage of hundreds of people as they swarm and engulf you in their fury, I say this to you: You are HARDCORE!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Just got to see this movie last week and it surely does not disappoint folks! The pacing of the movie is absolutely frantic, so much is going on at nearly every twist and turn it is crazy!
All of this takes place shortly after Casino Royale ends and to illustrate what I mean about the pacing, the movie starts out with a crazy car chase! That pretty much paints the picture of what to expect from that moment forward.
That isn't to say that the whole movie is nothing but action, I mean things to let up here and there. And despite what some people have said, there is story and if you pay attention, there is quite a bit of 'character development' from start to end.
I will say this however: Seeing Casino Royale is a must! If not then a great deal of the story will probably not make much sense. That and it would appear to only be a pissed off Brit that is out for revenge.
Entirely not true.
And while I will not do anything to spoil what happens and how it all goes down, I did like how Quantum of Solace ends. Without adding any touch of detail here, I will say that it does involve Vesper Lynd (the girl whom Bond falls for in Casino Royale, who ultimately dies by it's end) and the boyfriend she tried to save at one point.
One final thing here, after reading the Playboy interview they conducted with Dainel Craig, he has signed on for a total of 4 007 movies. Considering this was number 2, it seems safe to say that 2 more will inevitable be on the way.
My wonder now is simply this: Will the movies that follow continue on with this continuum? I'd like to thing so since the organization behind of LeChiffe is still very much at large and I'd like to believe that the score has not yet been settled. But, as always, only time well tell us now...
