Hey folks,
Here's the next one. Bit short I'm afraid
I was really tempted to pad it out with a full-on short film of the owl following Langston. But I figured I'd just get this one done and move on to the next. So I just did a little bit with the owl. lol - Just for my own artistic expression
In other news - I'm very excited for Persona 3 Reload tomorrow. And FF7 Rebirth at the end of the month. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love both of those games regardless of whatever the internet decides to argue about over them
I'm that age where FF7 is weirdly special to me. lol. But I ain't no purist so I enjoyed Remake despite the changes. I just love those characters and that world so I'm looking forward to spending more time in it. And as for Persona - I'm not gonna pretend I'm some hardcore lifelong fan. First one I played was 5. Loved it. Then I played Persona 4 Golden. Loved that as well. Couldn't get into 3 because it was almost like a visual novel with combat so I'm looking forward to this 'remade from the top down' version
But yeah - Here's a story that will make me sound ancient. Many years ago, in the days of video rental stores... tiny Buttress came across a Playstation 1 game called Final Fantasy 7. He'd not played 1 through 6 but he liked the cover art so he went ahead and paid about £3.50 to rent it for 3 nights. And he immediately fell in love as soon as the game started
The graphics were some of the best he'd ever seen. The music. The story. Everything. But... 3 nights is definitely not enough time to finish a game that takes 80 hours to beat. So tiny Buttress marched to the video store; sweating and shaking with fear because he was a shy, little nob. And asked in his tiny Buttress voice... "C-can I rent this for another 3 nights?"
And so it was. Like an absolute moron... I rented FF7 in subsequent 3 night blocks until I finished the game. Probably spending way more than it would have cost me to just buy the bloody game myself
Anywho - Thanks, as always, for your support. Tis much appreciated. And I'll see ya in the next Early Access post. Cheers mates!
