My playasia copy of Pixel Remasters got delayed to end of month. Missed the first batch by a day. Oh well no rush

Finally watched an unboxing of the Anniversary Edition ... I'm gonna have to open one.

On the upside, the Anniversary Edition, is not console specific (as the games are packaged seperately within the outter box). So opening one of two of the Anniversary Editions, allows me to keep the games unopened, simply open the extras. The 8bit figures look awesome for display! Next house, I'll probably do something with the vinyl too.

I spent most of last month grinding through Crisis Core Reunion and closed the book on it tonight. 46/51 Steam achievements, including all 300 missions. Turns out blowing through every available mission, including the super boss, when you're only a third of the way through the game turns the rest of it into a cakewalk.

With the Steam Deck, I'm going to try to get those last five achievements. Ignoring Catzilla (not a game) and Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby, this will be the first Steam game I 100%.

3 weeks to go until XVI!

Gonna be 2 discs. Reminding me of the old PS1 FF days.

Demo for XVI

Downloading the demo now. Definitely playing through it later today.

Looks like your progress carries over into the full game, so I might check this out later.

The demo progress carries over? That's pretty awesome! I'm gonna hold off for now though, way too into Diablo!

Supposedly my Collectors Edition already shipped and will be here this week ... a bit ahead of schedule. Sadly, it's for the shelf and I'm gonna play the digital edition.

Jesus this mature attempt at FF is very cringe so far. Definitely going to feel off without an element of cartoony fun and target of younger players.

Maybe it’ll lighten up a bit.

Final Fantasy had always been pretty corny and campy. HAHAHAHA

But it’s got cactus dudes and funny thieves/ I’ve never heard a character call someone a cock either.

The overdramatic nature of XV was one of my main criticisms for that game. Still to this day IX is peak FF for me, as far as tone goes. Perfect mix of fantasy, comedy, drama, and atmosphere. Just a ton of fun to exist in that world.

I don’t think there’s a gold saucer or happy beach town in this new universe. I’m open to surprises.

I've been largely ignoring everything related to XVI in anticipation of release.

Just watched the below trailer. Feeling a bit nervous now. Visually it looks incredible, of course. Gameplay seems fast and modern, ok I guess (give us a good ol turn base again!).

Just... Kinda giving some strangers of Paradise vibes. Like they clearly heard the feedback from XV (emo boy band) and are trying too hard to go with a mature theme. The characters, voices, acting, etc. I'm optimistic it's going to be amazing but like most JRPGs, this feels like it may be over emphasized to the point of being comical.

I didn't finish SoP though, wish I would have.

CHAOS!

The demo has been pretty enjoyable to me. I like the gameplay, the feel, better than I thought I would. Hard to pull off diablo though :]

Played some of the demo.... It's actually pretty good so far. Combat was fun, doesn't have the metrosexual boy band road trip vibe of XV at all.

I didn’t make it to the actual gameplay yet.

Got my copy of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster from Play-Asia and really enjoying the quality of life features and cheats like being able to increase XP, Gil, turn off encounters, etc.

So tempted to start at midnight tonight ...

Anyone else taking some time off work for this one? I am!
