Oh, Harro! Going to try this thing out.
So, what do I have to say. Lately I've been returning to my decadent dormant Final Fantasy VII fanboy state. With my shiny PS3 in hand(s), I can finally play PS1 games again because my PS2 for some odd reason couldn't handle them anymore. Either they ran all sloppy or wouldn't start at all period.
So, booting that 'ol badboy up again after like, 7 years, I can still remember this 12-13 year old kid being blown away by this game every second of the way. I guess it's a good time to like FF VII again since SquareEnix are doing their little milkey-business again, and are going to do it for ten years as they've stated. I wouldn't mind it if they, now, kept up the quality they've seemed to reach with Crisis Core. That game is really good! I just really hope they can keep that quality up and not go back to the Dirge of Cerberus type of stuff. That wasn't very impressive. Anyway, this time around, I'm gonna take my time getting all the ultimate weapons and try to beat the weapons. I never got around to doing that. Definitely looking forward to that.
All this Final Fantasy VII stuff has given me some inspiration to work with also, as I've just (yesterday) finished my version of the Fighting theme, which I hope you'll all enjoy. I didn't try to deviate from the formula as much as would've liked, because in the end, I didn't really want to ruin the mood the original created.
I'm contemplating on how I should approach the Shinra Company theme, which is what I'm toying around with right now. The original, I felt, really is epic and I think anything I'd change from that formula would drastically remove it's raw epicness, if that makes sense. So I might just make a type of 'tribute' and just put it in brand new coating, in my own style, but not as fast as Fight 2007. Still some thinking to be done about that, anyway, before I put it down and get to work. Comments on this subject are really welcome (!).
As for anything else, I'm glued to my screen about this rumerous Endless Crisis: Final Fantasy VII for the PS3. Something tells me it's not the remake most of us have been waiting for, it seems too early for that, but I definitely wouldn't mind it. And what with the (big) rumor that Sony is funding the entire project, it has to be something good; remake or not. What did famitsu say again, "The game that will save the PS3?" stop with the hinting, already. :)
Oh, and definitely check out the TGS '07 trailer of Metal Gear Solid 4.
That game just gets sicker by the minute.
