The Wii's last story

Written by Random J •
The last story
I saw this logo and instantly knew this had to be a game from Mistwalker, who are pretty much Squaresoft as they were back in the 90's. I've not yet played any of their games. They always seem to look really cool, but fall under radars really quickly.

Mistwalker's latest RPG is heading for Wii. And whilst not much is known about the game, the artwork and the prospect of a potential Final Fantasy rival on the Wii is exciting fans.

The last story: Town concept art The last story: Town concept art
I hope Mistwalker have considered pre-rendering the backgrounds. Because they aren't going to get that level of detail from environments if they model them in 3D on the Wii. Not even close.

It'd be premature for me to get excited about this game given that next to nothing is known about it. But it has the potential to be something cool. Good luck to Mistwalker getting Wii owners to go and buy this. They're gonna need it. My Wii is is boxed up in my cupboard. I didn't even bring it out of retirement to go buy Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and I was hungry for that game.

You can check out the official website for The last story here. There's not much on it as I post this, but you can listen to a lovely piece of music which sounds like title screen music if Final Fantasy trends are anything to go by. It's not yet been revealed who will be working on the soundtrack to this game. But I get Final Fantasy Uematsu vibes from the piece on the website...

    Interesting...I heard of it but hadn't seen any concept art. I'll keep my eye on it.

    Your lil Wii is all locked up in your dark, dank cupboard like Harry Potter was? Poor thing! Fragile is out now too, and you seem interested in that game, plus Silent Hill Shattered Memories. There - 2 more games to check out when you've finished FF13!

    I forgot all about those! *lol*

    I doubt I'll end up buying them now to be honest. Ever since getting my 360, I've become less and less interested in the Wii.

    In the way of Wii and DS RPG's, I really liked the look of Opoona. But that took so long to come out over here, that by the time it did, I forgot all about it. Mistwalker's ASH: Archaic sealed heat was also on my radars from way back. But it doesn't look like it's going to get a European release now :(

    You've also got FF: Crystal Chronicles, The Crystal Beares! 3 games now :D
    Sadly none of the games I've mentioned have had adverts on TV to promote them, I only know they're out 'cos of Nintendo Magazines.

    I'm currently all over my PS3 but I'll be jumping back to my wii and PS2 when I've finished with FFXIII, Heavy Rain and Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm always finding new games (old classics and upcoming releases) to bring out all my consoles, so I rarely back consoles away, my PS2 especially is still getting a lot of love from me.

Black refiners. We’ve gotta talk about that Milchick and Drummond moment in the Severance episode, “The After Hours”.

Written by Random J •
So, I’m watching season 2 of Severance. And as I post this, the ninth episode of the season “The After Hours” has just aired. And I really wanna talk about it. Well, I wanna talk about one moment in particular — Milchick and Drummond’s lil’ chat. Probably one of my favourite moments of the episode, which felt like the culmination of lots of Milchick moments diverging — adding a new wrinkle to a story and a world which already has more wrinkles than a newborn Shar Pei. Severance has made a commentary on a lot of things. Corporate shenanigans. Abuse of power dynamics. Sexisism. Homophobia. Religion. Consent. Control. And now I guess we can add race to the mix. Full disclaimer. To fully pre-empt and prevent being branded a liar and being misleading — the images in this post with subtitles are not official subtitles from Severance. They are subtitles I slapped on the images for extra effect and humour’s sake, in the vein of ‘What would these characters want to actually say’. I am including...

Nintendo and the Switch 2 pricing shenanigans

Written by Random J •
I am one of the few people in existence who does not own a Nintendo Switch. Y’all. Even my mum owns a Nintendo Switch. It’s crazy, because I have been with Nintendo through thick and thin and owned near-enough all of their systems. Nintendo has been a constant presence in my life. But the Wii and the Wii U left a sour taste in my mouth which made me apprehensive about buying a Switch. And because I had Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild on Wii U, I had no real incentive to buy a Switch early on. And then there was the Joy-Con drift issue which was a thing from the very beginning. But by the time the Switch had blossomed into this great system with a fantastic library of games, I figured ‘I’ll just get the rumoured Switch Pro when it drops’. Of course I knew this probably wouldn’t be the name, but I was adamant that a revised version of the Switch would release at some point and hopefully Nintendo woulda fixed them damn Joy-Cons. System redesigns mid-way through a console life cycle ha...

Game Review: Final Fantasy VII Remake | The Real Housewives of Avalanche

Written by Random J •
So, originally I had written part of this as a '7 days with Final Fantasy VII Remake' piece, because I had thoughts that I felt compelled to type and share with all 2 people who know of this wasteland of blog. But I was so close to the end and had heard 'whispers' about the ending to this game, so figured I should just complete the damn thing so I can talk about all the things. And now here I am. Ready to talk about it all. This Review will be chock-a-block full of spoilers. So if you've not played the game yet, then read on at your own risk.
