Midfall 2007 Update

Wow! I’ve had this entry queued for two weeks now.

I have a large list of anime I need to catch up. I picked up a few since my last post like that and dropped a few others that wasn’t mentioned on the list. Having getting hooked on DOMO and working out a leveling and build scheme for my future character is what has been on my mind lately.

I can safely say that I am behind at least 3 or 4 episodes in several series this season and having to pick up about 3 more full seasons of others. I cannot keep up with those hardcore nerd bloggers that do those single episode reviews. Damn you computer game addictions.

Possibly the fact that I’ve heard nothing from the blogging antenna sites I’ve registered for lowered my motivations. *shakes fists*

It’s almost been about a week since I’ve started playing the closed beta testing time. I absolutely love the game. I’m not spending too much time absorbed in it mostly because I don’t want to burn myself out when open beta comes around. It’s well known that closed beta usually wipes before the open comes around.

The game following the item mall style is nice because it doesn’t really force the person to grind themselves stupid until their paid period is over. The item mall states for the equips is still uncertain right now. Whether or not they provide any defense and such is still unknown to me since the people that has these equips right now are very snobby.

About over a year ago, we finally see the release of the 3rd and final installment of the Mother series. The last game, which was called Earthbound was released about ten years ago and was for the Super Nintendo console. I cry a little bit when people tell me they’ve never heard of Earthbound or the Mother series before Super Smash Brothers. The sad thing about this game. It may never see localization and possibly be a Japanese only release. Very similar to the Final Fantasy 5 game. This time, it isn’t made by Square and our chances of seeing it is very small.

The graphics for the game doesn’t seem to have evolved at all but then again. It is made for the GameBoy Advance. The battle screen looks the same with random colours in a water flow-like background. There still seems to be that element of wit around every corner and behind every wall of the game. You’ll have to play the game to understand what I’m talking about.Currently, the translations for the game seem to have come a long way. They still have a huge chunk of the game to translate though. Although I know nothing of the people working on this project. I am glad to see that there are these dedicated people trying to please the Earthbound community. Good people working on it.Every update on their site gets me so excited. Check out their 1 year later video. It’s very exciting.. in a nerdy way.

Dream of Mirror Online

MIDTERMS OVER!

I recently applied for closed beta for an MMORPG called Dream of Mirror Online (DOMO) and it is currently day 2 of the beta testing. I will give some quick thoughts on it.

The main reason that made my eyes open would because of the graphics of the game. It is very simple. Anime-like cell shaded characters. I love it. It reminds me of Persona 3’s graphics and animation of Final Fantasy Unlimited.

Cute isn’t it?

Persona Anime?

An anime adaptation of the running series of Persona game as been announced. Persona -trinity soul- is the name given to this anime. We’ve seen many video game to anime transitions and some were actually decent. Gungrave for example. I don’t think may people liked it since it was rather slow but I thought it was interesting. I loved the video game and so this should come as good news. The art style should be the same.

AnimeNewNetwork

The anime is set a decade after the [Persona 3] game, and will center around three brothers in a future city where the dead have risen with their skins turned inside out.

Moonphase

Although it says that it takes place in a different city. I’d expect that characters from the game would play a role or at least make cheap cameo appearances. An older Ken? Sexy Mitsuru? We’ll see when it comes. Not much I can say about this since there is very little info about this so far. But I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for new information that is released.

I wonder if rate of suicides will increase after the kids start watching this and start shotting themselves in the head hoping to make their persona appear? … I doubt it but I think it’s funny to think about it.. until someone actually does it. Natural selection at work right there.

Anyways, it is scheduled to be aired in January. I have to check it out.. otherwise I wouldn’t be much of a Persona fan.

I will try to get back into posting more stuff after my midterm coming up next week.

Update: The main site is up!
