This has been long time coming: ang matapos ang 2nd installment ng remake trilogy ng Final Fantasy VII. Samo't saring mga emotions na tila ba di na namin maintindihan pero nanaig pa din ang pagod sa di mabilang na mga sidequest. Pero more importantly, ano nga ba ang yung take natin sa ending ng game? Solid pa rin ba? For this episode, matagal nag tiis sina Tito Teej at Ate Cas na umiwas sa mga spoilers at sa mga sidequests para mapag usapan ang isa sa mga most awaited game ngayong 2024....

Summertime as buong mundo ay parating na! Pero ang summertime sa Pinas, tapos na. You know what that means?? June! It's Summer Game Fest Month!

Pero syempre hindi lang tayo lahat bad news dahil nagka State of Play din tayo! Tito Teej and Ate Cas got you covered so tara at talakayan tayo...

KyoAni (Kyoto Animation) is praised for its anime TV series na eye candy sa mata pag dating sa visuals. Parang pwedeng itapat sa mga gawa ni Makoto Shinkai (pero syempre Makoto Shinkai pa rin!) Isa sa mga notable works nila itong Violet Evergarden. Pero sa likod ng eye-candy visuals ay may mabigat na tear-jerking moments. Kelan ba ang huling beses na napaiyak kayo ng isang anime? Is it a good thing if an anime series made you cry? Isa din ba tong batayan na maganda ang isang drama anime if...

Having played a lot of WRPGs and JRPGs at lalo na sa recent experience ko sa Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, sumagi sa isip namin: What makes a good sidequest? what makes a bad sidequest? Counted ba ang mini games as sidequests? Sa dami ba naman ng videogames na pwedeng nalaro natin, bakit may mga sidequests na talagang tumatatak at nagiging parte na din ng core memory natin? Minsan may mga sidequest na tila ba agaw eksena pa sa main story ng isang game. Kumussup mga lods! For this episode, nag...

Nasa latter half na kami ng paglalaro ng Final Fantasy Rebirth and habang nilalaro namin, pakiramdam namin, andaming loose ends na dapat i-address.. Dahil siguro hindi pa namin tapos yung game? Pwede. Pero nahanap din namin ang opportunity para mas lalong balikan ang kwento ng Midgar Arc sa parehong Remake at Original game. What made Final Fantasy VII a cult classic and one of the most popular Final Fantasy game? In this episode, sisimulan namin ang pilot episode of the Backlog Flagship...

Naging mainit ang usapan sa Stellar Blade ngayong April. Kaliwa't kanan na mga reactions tungkol sa socio-cultural notions na na-aasociate sa laro. Pero syempre we also talk about mga juicy scoops sa mundo ng gaming. PS5 Pro specs? Retro Emulation sa Apple devices? Mga plano ni Microsoft sa Xbox consoles nila? Kahit ano pa man ang nag interes sayo sa mga natalakay ngayong buwan na to, halika at samahan natin sina Tito Teej at Ate Cas na pagkwentuhan ang mga sari't samong reactions natin sa...

Isa sa mga iconic na anime ang Initial D: Ranging from the iconic "Tokwa drift", Eurobeat tunes, hanggang sa iconic na kotse ni Takumi Fujiwara na 86. Nagsimula kami ni Ate Cas na hindi fan ng series na to not until recently lang, ang angas pala! Last year, na release ang anime adaptation ng successor ng Initial D, pinamagatang "MF Ghost". As new fans of Initial D, andaming mga expectations ang namuo. Fast forward to present, pinanood namin and natuwa naman kami. In this episode, tinalakay...

Isa sa mga matagal nang tanong ng mga magsisimulang magdeep dive sa hobby ng gaming: Gaming PC ba? or Console? Bibili ba ako ng Playstation o Xbox? O mag bubuild na lang ba ako ng Gaming Rig? Pero teka lang, alin ba ang setup na swak sa lifestyle ko? Pano kung pang potato PC lang kaya ko? Gusto mo ng exclusives? or casual gamer ka lang na tamang pang Stardew Valley lang? Saktong sakto sa discussion na to yung mga experiences nina Tito Teej, being the more console side at si Ate Cas na...

"Objection!" "Take that!" Pahinga muna tayo sa mahahabang games! Siguro sa punto na to, either naglalaro ka pa din ng Final Fantasy VII Rebirth at nag mimini games, or nagpaplatinum ng game or kakatapos lang mismo. Why not talk about palette cleanser-worthy games? Sa episode na to, we'll talk about three classic adventure visual novel type games (in one bundle trilogy!) na for sure maganda rin na maging brain exercise, lalo na kung gusto mo maging feeling lawyer sa korte. What's up with...

Binulaga tayo ni March ng mga mabibigat na balita: Ang pag panaw ni Toriyama at nasundan pa ito ng pagpanaw din ni Mutsumi Inomata, character artist ng Tales games.

On the other hand, we rounded up other news items for March, lalo na at kakarelease lang ng Dragon's Dogma 2 at Rise of the Ronin. Pero teka lang! Papalapit na din Stellar Blade at may nirelease din na Demo! There's a lot...

"Play has no Limits!" Hindi na ito bago para sa mga kilala na kami ni Ate Cas sa community pero just last year, bumalik kami sa Playstation Ecosystem upon our purchase of our Playstation 5. Sa madaling salita, blind spots namin ang PS2, PS3 at pati PS4 era. Siguro hindi masyado blind sa PS4, since ang ibang games, na experience namin sa Switch o sa PC. What does it feel like to be one who skipped several generations of Playstation tapos babalik with so many rather unfamiliar things like PS...
