Fucking Chu-Chu. Ah, the 90's JRPG and their love of mascot characters. You had to have at least one cute, pink-haired thing (be it a beast or a cute girl!) per cast!

Looking at you as well, Tales of Destiny.

[Kirin]

Theres models for the gears as well. Weltall, Vierge, Crescens, Seibzehn, Heimdall, etc.

Could something actually be cooking Xenogears related?

[Tyrath]

Probably not. Models just sell

My Xenogears-ID that i ordered back in Oct 2021 finally is arriving this week lol

[Tyrath]

Finally got the Weltall-ID. Thing's a beaut

[Draylo]

The bring arts figures are some of my favorites. I've collected like all the KH ones and FF9, they do some really nice work on those. Now the play arts kai are kinda meh, really hit or miss. I love how they are going back to all these games to do the figures. The FF9 ones were just A+ but they recently did the FFT characters and they came out incredible, hoping they keep doing this for older games. The most shocking one was seeing Shantotto and a Chocobo from XI.

I just hope that doesn’t mean more games will use their engine. Let it die already, please.

I Hope that means they’ll stop their obsession with NFTs

I Hope that means they’ll stop their obsession with NFTs

The new dude comes from a Metavere/NFT background, so yeah, good luck with that

[Uzor]

So basically old guy got replaced for not pushing NFT hard enough?

Great...

[NynJa]

SE's had declining financial results DESPITE selling off a bunch of their studio's and IP, these declines correlate with their infatuation to NFT and Metaverse, and their solution is to replace the president with someone who will focus even more on NFT and Metaverse.

110% on brand.

[Kirin]

So anyone wanting to take bets how long Sony still gets exclusivity for mainline titles?

[Malithar]

At this point, hopefully Sony just buys them and course corrects. Outside of the weird Playstation Stars NFT trophies I don't think they've shown much interest.

[Madeline]

Please no. I enjoy things not being exclusive to the Playstation forever.

[NynJa]

Buy a ps5 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Zealot]

I fully support Kiryu being named head of S-E, I hope one day Gigan also gets a chance to helm a major gaming studio.

Spoiler: show

Yoshitaka Amano made a Fortnite character. spoiler'd for huge

I bought it immediately ofc, she's not the best but the loading screen is great and this is the closest I'll ever get to a real Final Fantasy skin

Finally, rumors swirling today around one of the 2021 Nvidia leak's most desired from SE that we've so far heard absolutely nothing about: the Final Fantasy IX Remake.

Apparently...

• It is real.
• It is at least 2 years away (so coming in FY 2025-2026).
• It will be too advanced to run on current Switch hardware, so might be a Sony exclusive (or, by then, perhaps portable to Nintendo's next hardware).

SE's final unaddressed Nvidia leak title would be the FFT Remaster for PC. Still no news there.
