    Rhythm-action spinoff Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory announced for PS4, Xbox One & Switch

    I think for certain there will be major plot points - I can't really think of any Kingdom Hearts games (inc. spin-offs) that don't carry any major plot points, even if they are tagged on to the very end like Coded - albeit, I think MoM will be entirely based around rhythm gameplay with cutscenes...

    Final Fantasy XVI announced; console exclusive to PS5 and also coming to PC

    I really struggled to grasp what I felt about this announcement as it was revealed, and having rewatched the trailer, I still struggle with it. It comes across as a very generic game which is a little concerning; despite XII, XIII & XV splitting opinion, they never felt generic. Alternatively...

    [V5] What's Your Mood?

    Exhausted. Been a very up and down couple of weeks: Got to find out we'll be having a baby boy in February, so super excited there! Currently in the process of trying to get our mortgage offer extended which expires on Friday; hopefully, if this goes through it will be only a couple of...

    Favourite Alcohol

    Unless you're one of those fortunate people that takes to whiskey straight away, it's definitely a drink that needs a little bit of palate training. I've always found people to marmite towards it - they love it or hate it, no middle ground. I love whiskey now, but despised the stuff a few years...

    Would you like to see another sequel/spinoff to this game?

    A little late to the party here - given that it definitely won't happen now - but having just finished Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns for the first time, I wouldn't go down another title or spin-off route again. I'm not really sure either Final Fantasy XIII-2 or Lightning Returns...

    FF Music Unexpected uses of Final Fantasy music

    Jumping on the Lightning x Louis Vuitton theme... I actually came across this in Japan just a couple of months after it became a thing. I had absolutely no idea at the time that such a collaboration existed , so I was perplexed to come across this advert, to say the least... If I recall...

    [V6] What are you currently listening to?

    'Mon the Biff! Love the new album; definitely would have been a third live concert on the cards were it not for pandemic.

    Assassin's Creed: Valhalla

    Today is the first time I've seen any footage / trailers for Valhalla and this was probably the the main concept that pulled me in. It feels very much a case of the side that wins the war, will dictate the historical perspective and narrative. As much I would like to play Origins and Odyssey...

    Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time

    I think I will probably pick this up when it inevitably comes to PS+ a good 18 months or so after release. After Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, I'm not really sure how much I enjoy Crash Bandicoot as a game. I loved it as a child and I thought the remaster was a very slick and solid game...

    Count The Stars With Me | All Our Scattered Memories

    Been a minute (i.e, five months). Wanted to make a signature for The Last of Us since starting this thread but never been happy with any stocks - and those I've worked with, I've binned because I've not liked the work. Crazy hyped about The Last of Us 2 (now arriving today!) so got on that The...

    FFVII Remake General Discussion

    Would have to disagree with the comparisons to XIII and XV re linearity, poor storytelling, dismal combat & unfinished mess. In terms of linearity, Final Fantasy XIII certainly had very linear map designs, but the overall criticism back on release - in hindsight - was certainly overzealous...

    Thanks, Kira! I think the other half may need a smooth ride a little more than I, haha!

    [V5] What's Your Mood?

    Exuberant / Exhausted A little bit of an oxymoronic mood, but it has definitely been a busy couple of months. Decided to take a bit of an internet break after burying my grandad the end of March and lockdown commencing in the UK. Fortunately, I've been one of the few who weren't furloughed...

    Favourite FFVII Remake tracks?

    Midnight Rendezvous was absolutely the first track that pulled me in simply for the composition, I loved it. I'm a massive fan of 80s electronic music... and I think it also helped I was binge watching Stranger Things at the time, too! Even though Midnight Rendezvous was definitely my favourite...

    NieR Replicant Remastered announced on livestream; coming to PS4, PC & Xbox One

    I wouldn't be ashamed, especially in regards to not playing the original NieR haha. I've yet to play Automata - although I did play the original - but I think Automata has provided the franchise a lot more weight behind it than it previously had. I don't think I know a single person outside of...

    Coronavirus. How is it affecting you?

    Stay safe, Duhem; thoughts with you and your family at this time. Unfortunately, we are probably going to have a Lombardy-esque emergency here before people understand the seriousness of the situation. I live near and work in a town which is a huge tourist destination and this year voted as...

    Coronavirus. How is it affecting you?

    It's probably inevitable that my workplace is going to shut at some point or another, the only question is which members of staff will be going in whilst it is shut. I work in the accounts department at a hotel, so with people coming in from around the country and abroad (pre-lockdown) we are...

    [V5] What's Your Mood?

    Rough / drained / depleted / weary. It's been a hell of a two-three week period. Manager left at the end of February (which was gutting), so instead of replacing her, my colleague and I had her job role divided up between us and gained promotions and a 27% increase in our salaries; which now...

    Can you guess the next Kingdom Hearts game?!

    Union X is generally a weird game in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. I know Kingdom Hearts games to bring up more questions than answers, but you could quite easily not play Union X and it wouldn't make much of a difference, barring some of ReMind and and KH3 epilogue - which in itself doesn't...

    Remake, not the full game or ATB, makes me sad

    From someone who has never played Final Fantasy VII, I was very sceptical of approaching the game for the first time if it was divided into multiple parts (I've never been a fan of episodic / split releases), but it isn't necessarily a bad thing. The games looks visually stunning, so if the same...
