We're just over halfway into the year, so I thought it was the right time to bring back the Get In The Mecha Mid-Year Review, the annual episode of the podcast where I reflect on what I've taken away from anime this year so far. This time around, I have gathered a few insights from watching anime films in the cinema and I also spent time thinking about some of the smaller visual elements that uplift the TV Anime experience.

Hallo Freunde fürs Extraleben! In dieser Episode schauen wir Propheten in die Vergangenheit als auch in die Zukunft. Letzten Donnerstag sendete Sony eine State of Play über den Äther und wir haben sie geschaut und viele Gedanken zu neu angekündigten und schon zuvor angekündigten Spielen. Wir meinen, es waren einige Kracher dabei. In die Zukunft schauen wir in Form unserer Prognose für die…Nicht-E3. Eigentlich wäre es nun bald soweit und die große Videospielmesse in L.A. würde ihre Tore öffnen. Statt E3-Prognosen zu stellen, machen wir das dann halt dieses Jahr für die angekündigten Events, sprich das Summer Game Fest und das Microsoft/Bethesda-Showcase. Wird gut! Viel Spaß! Die Folge im Überblick: Was gibt es neues? 03:57 Der YouTube-Algorithmus schlägt zurück Was wird denn hier gespielt? 11:20 Daniel spielt nach wie vor nur etwas D2 12:25 Manuel widmet seine Zeit nun wieder Ghostwire Tokyo Neuigkeiten aus der Spielebranche 23:22 Die State of Play in unserer ausführlichen (chronologischen) Analyse 1:29:05 Das Sands of time Remake muss die Sanduhr noch ein paar Mal drehen 1:32:29 Shinji Hashimoto ist in Rente gegangen 1:35:03 Diablo Immortal und die Lootboxen Spezialthema: Es ist leider keine E3… 1:44:58 …aber wir haben Prognosen https://twitter.com/Extrafreunde https://www.facebook.com/Extrafreunde https://www.instagram.com/extrafreunde ffelpodcast@gmail.com

On the 1st Friday, of June, the Grinders are back and rowdier than ever! The Grinders are so wound up that even the chatters get help getting wild. Why is there so much energy in today's episode? Is it Republicans, Democrats, gun violence, police, mental health, or maybe all of them combined?! The 2nd Amendment is a big part of this episode. The Grinders are pro-gun but agree that not everyone is fit to own one. What is causing the spike in gun violence? Why is the United States ranked so high in gun violence? What can be done to end the mass shootings? Well America ever start taking mental health issues seriously? What role do the police play? Are the police doing more harm than good? Only 3 Stinkos are in this energized episode. Although there aren't many, they are bad enough to cause concern. Of course, guns and cops are two of the topics but the Ohio GOP is not to be outdone. They are turning Ohio into the next Texas or Florida. They want human rights and freedoms in their control.  By the 4th paragraph, it sounds like the whole episode is negative. So it's time to focus on the happier parts of the show. Although Frank wants to wait until they release the second part of the forth season of Stranger Things. He won't say much but he gives it high recommendations.  Back to talking about the 5-0. JK! Today's news features a lot of release dates and the retirement of heavy hitter in Japanese RPGs. Shinji Hashimoto, the Brand Manager of the legendary Final Fantasy series, has retired of Squenix.  Well over 6 hundred ninety episodes and still going strong. The seven hundredth episode is just around the corner. We have no plans of slacking off between now and then. We won't be slowing down either! And on the 7th day, God rested...       and Frank retired.             These colors don't run (into schools with active shooters).

This time on Video Game Tango: Diablo Immortal is out early! We've got news on Warcraft 3 Reforged? World of Warcraft now makes you sign a social contract to play, We showcase Shogun Showdown, have a send-off for Shinji Hashimoto as he retires from Square Enix, and speaking of Square Enix, Hirinobo Sakaguchi is back at Square...But it's not what you think. Then the Two-Time is back on Twitch...Kinda! Josh shares his thoughts on The Cycle: Frontier, Nick is super excited for Marble Madness 2, Team Fortress 2 needs saving, and so does the ROM dump for Bio Force Ape! And we end things with what the fuck do you call a Vampire Survivor-Like?

Ricordo ancora tutto quanto di quel giorno. Non so perchè e non so come mai una cosa banale come un videogioco possa incidersi così tanto nella testa di un ragazzo di 12 anni ma ricordo tutto.Ricordo lo spacchettamento della scatolina. Ricordo il libretto di istruzione in cinque lingue a colori. Ricordo la cutscene iniziale in computer grafica sul gameboy Advance che mi spaccò la mascella. Ricordo l’introduzione del gioco con le carte, sto Sora con la chiave, un Castello, un bordello. Ricordo che giocavo sul gameboy Advance bianco, regalatomi dalla nonna, sul tavolo sotto alla luce perchè non c’era lo schermo retroilluminato. Ricordo tutto del mio primo giorno con Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Di quel piccolo amore che, nonostante tutto, ancora dimora dentro di me per l’intera saga di Kingdom Hearts.Fine anni ’90, Square osserva il successo di Mario 64 e capisce che ha bisogno anche lei di fare un gioco tridimensionale di quel calibro. Serve però un cast riconoscibile quanto quello di Ninendo.. un cast come quello Disney.Ma figurati se Disney accetterebbe mai una roba del genere… se non fosse che al tempo Square e Disney lavorano nello stesso palazzo e capita un giorno che Shinji Hashimoto, uno dei capi di Square nonché produttore di molti giochi, prende l’ascensore con un dirigente Disney e gli butta lì l’idea di fare un gioco che unisse i mondi Disney a quelli di final fantasy. Tetsuya Nomura viene messo a capo del progetto sotto la produzione di Hashimoto e di Kitase e nel 2002 esce il primo capitolo di Kingdom Hearts… il resto è storia.Sora, Riku e kairi sono 3 ragazzi che vivono alle Isole del destino, un piccolo arcipelago in mezzo al mare dove il tempo viene scandito tra giochi in spiaggia e sogni espressi al cielo finché una notte una violenta tempesta colpisce le isole, Riku viene attratto da una inspiegabile forza oscura, Kairi sparisce da qualche parte e Sora, il nostro protagonista, si ritrova catapultato nella Città di Mezzo, uno strano posto dove confluiscono le persone che si sono perse. Ha così inizio uno dei viaggi più intricato, a volte raffazzonato, spesso tirato per i capelli, diverse volte emozionante ma soprattutto dotato di un fascino pericoloso, ammaliante.Da questo punto si sviluppano le vicende di Sora e del Keyblade, di Kairi e delle 7 principesse, di Riku e del fascino dell’oscurità, di Ansem il cercatore dell’oscurità e della misteriosa organizzazione 13. Un viaggio composto da 12 videogiochi sparpagliati su tutte le piattaforme possibili e immaginabili, con 3 titoli numerati e 9 spin off, che di spin off però non hanno proprio nulla. Un viaggio che ha accompagnato una intera generazione, la mia, dal 2002 fino ad ora e che risulta ancora lontana dall’essere conclusa. Un’epopea che presenta una colonna sonora forse senza paragoni capace di sfondare i muri del videogioco come mai nessuno prima d’ora e che ha emozionato migliaia e migliaia di giocatori in tutto il mondo.Con oltre 30 milioni di titoli venduti in tutto il mondo, una serie sconfinata di manga, cd musicali, merchandise e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Con una fan base esagerata e numerosissima, un apprezzamento globale da parte della critica ed uno dei director più scellerato di sempre in perenne bilico tra il genio ed il ridicolo.Benvenuti o bentornati su mangianastri, io sono Jonathan, e oggi parliamo di una prima parte della colonna sonora della saga di Kingdom Hearts.SITOGRAFIAKingdom HeartsMusica di Kingdom HeartsYoko ShimomuraKingdom Hearts (videogioco)Kingdom Hearts: Chain of MemoriesKingdom Hearts 358/2 DaysKingdom Hearts HD 1.5 RemixIntervista a Yoko Shimomura e Tetsuya Nomura KINGDOM HEARTS: Memories of Dearly Beloved with Yoko ShimomuraYoko Shimomura talks Kingdom Hearts MusicFamitsu Interview with Yoko Shimomura, Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito on KH3's soundtrackYoko Shimomura compositriceYoko Shimomura siteQuesto episodio non è a fini di lucroI diritti dei brani musicali di questo brano non appartengono al sottoscritto.Ogni episodio di LATO A è una lettera d'amore all'industria videoludica, ai suoi produttori, direttori, sviluppatori, ma sopratutto ai suoi compositori.

Smooth is a very widely used, but also very narrow way to describe and analyse animation. This idea goes much further than the word itself; it in fact reveals a fundamental issue that exists within animation discourse. In this episode, I discuss what my problem with 'smoothness' really is as a way of looking at animation. I debate what the objective of animation is, what Akira can teach us about Japanese Animation and how varied is anime as a meta!

We sauntered just south of the border this week as we looked back on the madness (and loudness) that was Microsoft's XO18 before leaping over the wall to discuss some of the VGA nominees. Who knew that Mexican Xbox fans loved Shinji Hashimoto so much? We didn't. In fact we didn't know who Shinji Hashimoto was and Harry plays ALOT of Kingdom Hearts.

Shinji Hashimoto (heute Executive Officer bei Square Enix) und Final Fantasy Erfinder Hironobu Sakaguchi – beide beeindruckt von «Super Mario 64» – wollten ein 3D-Game mit Bewegungsfreiheit schaffen. Tetsuya Nomura, ebenfalls bekannt für seine Arbeit an Final Fantasy Spielen, bot sich als Director des PlayStation 2 Spiels an. Was jedoch fehlte, war ein hochkarätiger Protagonist. Wie's der Zufall wollte, traf Hashimoto im Aufzug einen Disney-Mitarbeiter und erzählte diesem von seiner Idee. So entstand die kuriose Mischung aus Final Fantasy und Disney-Cartoons: «Kingdom Hearts». Mit «Kingdom Hearts 3» am Horizont liess sich Joey endlich überreden, dem ersten Teil eine Chance zu geben. Ob auch er nun der bemerkenswerten Fan­ge­mein­de angehört?

For this episode of Kingdom Hearts Union, we're joined by renowned voice actress Erika Harlacher. She has appeared in quite a few Japanese games over the years, and most recently appeared in Persona 5! Did we mention she's also a huge Kingdom Hearts fan? Aside from a rather neat interview, this episode runs through a recent interview with Shinji Hashimoto, who was appearing at MAGIC 2017. He spoke about Marvel appearing in Kingdom Hearts 3 and also why they haven't spoken too much about the game. As always, there's also quite a few in-depth questions, so we hope you enjoy listening to them!

We've got plenty to discuss on this episode of Kingdom Hearts Union, as Branden is joined by Sabrina and Churro as they tackle all the latest news, while delving into a ton of questions from the community! For one, the gang talk about Shinji Hashimoto's appearance at Lucca Comic and Games, where he spoke about Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 on PS4. In addition, we have questions from the community relating to the potential influence the Final Fantasy VII Remake will have on Kingdom Hearts three and some thoughts about the Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Tokyo Game Show trailer!

Video Game Movie Anatomy hosts break down Video Game inspired movies to answer the age old question: DO GAMES MAKE GOOD MOVIES?!?! In today's episode, hosts Mark Donica, Stacey Shuttleworth and Patrick Dees discuss the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children!

Advent Children takes place two years after the events of

Final Fantasy IX began development shortly before the release of Final Fantasy VIII.   A small glimpse into the early process of the game was revealed on the internet by Sakaguchi in 2010.   On Mistwalker’s blog (Sakaguchi’s company), Sakaguchi posted early notes for the opening of Final Fantasy IX. Although the blog post is now impossible to find, an amature translation was jotted down in a forum deep inside the internet:   This is probably the biggest glimpse we’ll ever get into the process of the making of any of these games:   The game’s title and then fade to black.   -Movie 1-   Light emerges as the camera glides over an ocean following a landscape of trees, rivers, and fountains. The sky nears sunset as the camera moves onto the surface of a light fog and behind an airship called the Utsutsu. A large shadow approaches from behind revealing the Theatre ship.   -Darkness-   Loud rings of machinery fill the area. A dark figure walks forward curiously.   The player makes an input for the character’s name. The default name is Zidane.   *Scratch*   The protagonist Zidane lights a match brightening the room with a dim glow. (The match can be moved without the risk of the flame extinguishing, but it will go out in a short period of time. Ignite the match quickly and light the lamp at the center of the room.)   The lamp brightens the room completely revealing an arrangement of strangely shaped vases and boxes crawling on the pipe wall at the end of the room.   This is the cargo bay area of an airship.   “Don!”   Three thieves walk in when the player opens the door. One of them jokingly asks Zidane for an autograph. The player can respond to it.   Thieves: “Zidane, a Hayakatta.”   Zidane: “What happened to the boss?”   At that moment, footsteps sound from the ascending staircase. Zidane and the thieves turn towards the interruption.   “Achoo!” The sneeze sounds boss lol.   Thieves: “Boss!”   A tall rotund man with a thick beard steps down from the staircase. He runs toward the gang of thieves and the battle transitions to the battle screen.   -Boss Battle- Boss   Sometime during the fight; “Oh, you guys are pretty good,” “I like it!” says the Boss. After a certain amount of damage is dealt, Boss leans over weak and says “That’s enough for today.” (Toitaro???)   Inside the airship (continued)   Boss: “Ha ha ha,… Nice shot as usual.” (“I’ll ask today.” Almost loud, Zidane nodded???)   “Everyone, gather around!”   The screen fades and transitions to Zidane and the thieves gathered around a table with a map spread across it. Boss sitting at the head of the table, initiates the meeting revealing a plan to kidnap a princess during a play held on a theatre ship.   The screens transitions to the play. The first act has just ended at a pulling scene and the audience stands up with applause as the lights dim and the curtain closes. The stage director steps forward and informs the audience that there will be a short intermission before the second act begins. At the balcony sits the queen and her daughter Princess Garnet. The knight standing beside Garnet, asks her and the queen if they would like some more tea. The queen answers yes and insists her daughter to have some.   The knight fixes the tea and slips a drug into Garnet’s cup. He hands the cups to them and watches carefully when Garnet takes a sip. She yawns a couple of minutes later after a few more sips. About a minute later another knight walks in from behind carrying a present. The knight that fixed the tea takes the package and presents it to the queen.   “A gift to you, from the theatre,” he says.   The queen hurries to open the lid and a dozen of oglops jump out. The queen jumps out of her seat panicking. The other guards hurry to her aid. With this distraction no notices that Garnet has fallen asleep and that the knight has run off with her.   Inside the airship (continued)   Boss: “Hmm, perfect.”   Thief: “It’s a brilliant plan.”   Thief 2: “This is very rich--!” (or maybe “This will make us rich!” ???) 　(Pose to pose a big jump in one of the robbers. 　　Vibration, the model falls theater airships.   Sakaguchi’s notes for movie 4: Close up of Princess Garnet Close up of her breasts. View of her breasts inside the clothes (a little). Also a view of her pendant of royalty....   -Hallway- She rushes away from the hallway. Two stare at each other. Zidane: “Hey, was that..” Thief: “Her breasts look comfortable..” Zidane: “No, no, she was wearing the pendant of the summons permitted by only royalty.” Thief: “I fell in Love at first sight..” Zidane: “Deep blue stone… “The Legend of Leviathan”, was it Princess Garnet?” Thief: “What are you talking about?” Zidane: “Never mind, change of plan, let’s follow after her”.   Final Fantasy IX would be the last Final Fantasy on the Playstation, and as the series planned to move on into the next generation, it was 9 that was left to fittingly end the single-digit series of Final Fantasy games.   Here’s a little excerpt form a Famitsu interview with The Gutch.   Sakaguchi:  I was thinking [of] it as an end. FF10 and FF11 are going to be on PS2 as well as PlayOnline. So with those, we were wanting to concentrate less on the feel of a world but more to use visuals which would push the hardware's ability. In that sense, because FF9 is the third in the series on PlayStation, instead of making it by pushing the abilities of the present hardware, we thought of making the feel of a Final Fantasy world once more...   Interviewer: In the previous interview, it was explained that it [FF] was going back to its roots. And when you look at the logo, the crystal is there. It really is going back to the roots of the FF series. Why is that?   Sakaguchi: Well, I wanted to try it out. (laughs) I said that it was because it was the last single numbered FF, but, yes, I like the number 9...(laughs)   Sakaguchi served as producer of the game (with Shinji Hashimoto), and was the scenario writer for this “send-off”. It was not originally planned to be a main line final fantasy game, and had been given the title “Final Fantasy Gaiden” during the conceptual stages of the game. It wasn’t officially announced as Final Fantasy IX until late in 1999 when Final Fantasy IX, X, and XI were announced simultaneously.   As a return to the fantasy genre that began the series, Final Fantasy 9 may not seem like the natural sequel to FF6, 7, or 8. The most notable difference is of course the controversial design and look of the game. Anime, realism, and steampunk gave way to old castles and more of a western fantasy approach. Hiroyuki Ito stated that they pulled from Norse and Nothern European Mythology, and to cap off the retro feel, there were some nice deformed character models to match the pre-FF8 Final Fantasy games.   Hideo Minaba: Art Director:As this is the last single-digit Final Fantasy, we wanted to give the feeling of a series watershed, a sort of grand collection of what has come before.   This old fantasy feel, not only affected the look of the game, but also the soundtrack as scored by Nobuo Uematsu. “I was shooting for subtle, classical-sounding tunes that fit the general setting and feel of the game…” he states, although he did start to steer clear of that feel. This departure and “boredom” with the sound he was originally going for may have to do with the 160 tracks he recorded for the game. The game ended up using around 140, including some remixes of other FF Soundtracks.   Uematsu: I wanted to remix some of the older songs. Some of the character and location names were the same, so I thought that it would cool to use something from the past series.   Some staff for Final Fantasy IX were returning from other Final Fantasy games. However as Yoshinori Kitase (Dir. FF7 and FF8), was moving onto FFX, the directing duties, as well as battle design duties, were put onto the shoulders of Hiroyuki Ito. Ito took much of the staff of Final Fantasy Tactics to work on the game. And as the game was mostly created in Hawaii (possibly due to Sakaguchi’s involvement with both FF9 and Spirits Within), many of the staff members were not Japanese. Yet another reason the game has more of a “western” sensibility.   Many take umbridge in the speed of the battle system of Final Fantasy IX: At one time designed to be the fastest battle system in the series, yet turned out to be the slowest. The reason for this, apparently (according to a superfan, Alex Donaldson, that was interviewed on the podcast “My Favourite Game”), was that the system couldn’t handle the battle system, and the framerate wouldn’t be acceptable at that speed. Sakaguchi said, with the speed down, the game almost feels like turned based. *personally, I think he’s talking out of his ass.   Despite the slow system, which we’ll talk about plenty in this episode, Final Fantasy IX was still a success.   Delayed to avoid conflict with the release of Enix’s Dragon Quest, the game was released on July 7th, 2000 in Japan, and made it to North America on November 13th. A couple months later, Europe got it February 2001.   The game didn’t sell as well as the previous 2 entries in the series, but it was still a hit. ultimately selling 5.3 Million copies by 2003.   Its legacy now is a quiet one. It’s never had a sequel, it was the smallest release on the Playstation, and was released when the PS2 had already arrived on store shelves. Many gamers, perhaps unfamiliar with the roots of the series, were turned off by the art design. Perhaps something as simple as a logo not designed by Yoshitaka Amano could throw someone off.   But alas, the game was still critically acclaimed, receiving many accolades at the playstation awards, and having very positive reviews from multiple gaming publications. As it now stands, Final Fantasy IX has the highest Metacritic score of any Final Fantasy.   If anything, there’s at least one person who thinks the game a bigger success than 7 or 8....   IGN interview with The Gutch:   Sakaguchi: The upcoming Final Fantasy IX. This title (currently under development) is based on a reflection of all the previous works in the series. The coming installment is my "favorite," it's closest to my ideal view of what Final Fantasy should be.   Remixes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wdaJV3myBc   "Rose of May" from Final Fantasy IX (acoustic guitar solo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzWSYy2aqQo   Final Fantasy IX - You're Not Alone!
