voltch 07/09/23 10:42:28 AM #418 | Yonezu Kenshi end credit song cleared. The MV dropped on his channel a few hours ago too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kUZ0LoUELI Great game was worth purchasing a PS5 for, had many nitpicks earlier, but for the most part they got addressed as the game went on. Not really settled on where I'd rank it among my fav FFs, likely somewhere in the top 10 but outside the top 5. Ending didn't end up changing my mind too much, though I much prefer Ardyn as a main villain among recent entries. Game did leave me wanting for more big budget FF content, so hopefully we don't have to wait 5+ years for a non-Remake entry. --- Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest. |

Topic | Final Fantasy XVI |
voltch 07/05/23 1:37:50 PM #393 | About 50 hours in, spending time on the hunts and not progressing to the final dungeon just yet. At this point, I'm pretty sure I know where the game will land unless it throws something drastically different at the end. It's a top 10 FF game I've played for sure, but not quite top 5. It's introduced a lot of cool new things, but at the same time while playing the game, you can already tell how they could improve on these, some of those elements have already been pointed out in the topic. But crucially, the game did not sell me on the notion that all FFs going forward should follow the template this game has set. As a standalone entry great, but I wouldn't want the next 3 mainline entries to be like this. --- Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest. |

voltch 05/08/23 2:16:52 PM #1 | Grand Final Results: Steins;Gate: 208 Fate/Zero: 135 After calling Steins;Gate the favourite to win it all for years and and year, it finally wins its first title. It has come close a number of times, losing to Baccano in SMFAS 3 and last year it got pipped to the final by Odd Taxi. But this year everything finally came together. Fate/Zero's got a pretty wild history in this contest, with some spectacular failures, but for whatever reason it kept surviving the middle rounds. Then a bit of a bandwagon formed as usual and it went on a good tear in the later rounds. Both series were popular a decade ago and do remain so with some good heritage coming from them. Heck Lisa who sang the Oath Sign opening for Fate/Zero went on to become a megastar in Ufotable's smash success adaptation of Demon Slayer. With this win this makes this our first champion to be an anime adaptation of a video game. We've had anime originals, anime reboots, manga adaptations, light novels, novels, but never a game. So we're doing a good job on variety. Next year should be another straightforward affair, we're cutting the field further down from 60 Entrants to 50. Not sure yet if I'll keep the top 20 as returning entrants or reduce to 15. In any case my main priority Monogatari will continue to flop come top 10 time! Not sure what the secondary priority will be, Oshi no Ko is certainly a good candidate, but I'm seeing some big time shows coming out later in the year. I'll revisit the movie ban with more and more films coming out close to their JP releases and the legal availability increasing. Oh and I'm considering but nothing concrete of just doing an Anime Opening/Ending tournament, straight knockouts, not sure if people would be interested in this. But I'd keep it short.
