Starting off 2016 with a Final Fantasy Record Keeper event

Final Fantasy Record Keeper is a mobile game (for Android and iOS) that does away with the Story and exploration of Final Fantasy and focuses a great deal on the turn-based from From Final Fantasy 1 up to 10. It is a collaboration between  Square-Enix and DeNA.  Free to download a  play and so far the only pay system is to get more chances to get rare items.

Battle is setup like older games , You pick up to 5  characters to be in you battle party. Each character on the team gets a weapon, armor, an accessory and two assignable abilities. You choose actions via touching the commands at the bottom of the screen. What makes this more interesting than the actual main games is that Record Keeper allows you mix you battle party with both Heroes and Villains. Even bad guys have limit (Soul) break skills.


Around New Years 2016,  A New Event called Defying Fate started up where you could recruit all of Final Fantasy X characters available so far (Tidus, Yuna, Wakka, Lulu and so on)  The New character being Rikku, the thief.

My opinon on the FF VII Remake gameplay trailer

I just finished watching the first gameplay trailer for the highly-anticipated Final Fantasy VII remake by Square-Enix and here are my main thoughts and hopes for any upcoming trailers.

The graphics looked good. Seems like the team working on FF VII remake is using the same high-end toolbox as the FF XV team. It's going to be fun exploring the slums and Golden Saucer with the new graphics and camera prospective.

The Action RPG like battles are ok with me. It was all about the limit break and Materia System that really stood out to me in the original game anyway. After playing several hours of Kingdom Hearts and FF Dissida, I'm quite alright with a more fluid combat system.  This gameplay trailer didn't really show the Materia system/menu at all. Only showed the first mission, with Cloud and Barret, so view of what Tifa or Red XIII and the rest of the gang look like.

Just a few thoughts on the passing on Monty Oum


The first time I ever saw or read about one of his works was when the premiere episode of Dead Fantasy was releasead and featured on GameTrailers. The short description caught my attention. Mixing Final Fantasy  and Dead or Alive characters and have them fight each other.

 I thought it was an amazing piece of fan work.  Yuna, Riku, Ayane, Kasumi. Using skills based on actual video game moves gave it an authentic feel and then the 2nd part/episode just blew me away with How Tifa showed up.


He accomplished something that great with RWBY. Going  from fan film maker to creating something that is recognized by Anime fans in a good way. Even getting picked up on streaming services  like Netflix (US) and Crunchyroll.

This is also a reminder for me. I know some people who have food allergies and I can't and shouldn't eat certain foods/ingredients around them.
