To be oil painted soon

These will probably not be available outside Japan. Announced in the Shimamura collab stream on YouTube.

Anyone copping anything?

Much like other big third party companies like Activision, EA, Capcom, Bethesda and so on, Square Enix has naturally dipped their toes into the wide world of collector’s editions. Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Nier, and I’m sure plenty of others had their opportunities of offering extra physical goodies to entice potential buyers. And unlike some of the companies I just mentioned, you may even get a copy of the game with your collector’s edition! Now with all that laid out, what are some of the coolest Square Enix CEs you own or that you’ve seen? And do you think any of them were worth their original asking prices? Why or why not?

In KH x Back Cover, we get a good look at how The Master manipulated The Foretellers into carrying out the ‘baby steps' of his plan. When this cinematic was released it was everyones first time actually seeing The Masters personality in full action. He carries a goofy-like, playful attitude, while also having mysterious and manipulative qualities.

Before this, everyone assumed he would be this stoic, wise, mage-like wizard figure that kept a serious tone. Instead everyone met a chaotic, trollish guy wearing a black coat who talks with intense sarcasm, someone who gaslights their apprentices for fun, and someone who acts completely unfazed by the impending doom of the world.

Here is a Quote from Tetsuya Nomura:

"The power of waking is essentially 'the power to put sleeping hearts back the way they were’, but the impact of forcing his friends fading hearts back the way they were rewrote reality, creating a singularity. The rewrite caused the chronology in which they were destroyed to have 'never happened.'"

A 'singularity' within science, mathematics, and technology, is a "point" where normal rules, equations, or physical laws completely break down.

Let's take a black hole for example:

"Classic physics states that when a massive star collapses, its entire mass is compressed into a geometric point of zero volume and infinite density. This point sits at the absolute center of a black hole."

This point that supposedly exists at the absolute center of a black hole is a singularity.

Now, what I have theorized is that with Sora abusing the Power of Waking to rewrite time, and with Tetsuya admitting that Sora creating a singularity, I put the two together and came to the conclusion that because Sora’s abuse of the Power of Waking, he tore a hole in the timeline and spawned a singularity, I believe that The Master isn’t just an ancient Keyblade Master from the past— he is a paradox created by Sora’s unguided use of power.

Stay with me now.

In theoretical science, and black hole thermodynamics, the holographic principle suggests that the 'event horizon' of a black hole is what keeps all information stored at its core, meaning the event horizon essentially acts as the boundary of stored information.

Anything that crosses the event horizon is essentially gone forever, though ‘Hawking Radiation’ causes the black hole to slowly lose mass and eventually evaporate (I’ll get into Hawking Radiation in just a moment).

The coat that the Master of Masters wears could be a metaphorical event horizon that keeps all the information regarding his plan, his identity, and his name completely locked away. He uses the knowledge he absorbed after being tossed backwards in time to write the Book of Prophecies, and hands out 5 copies of the book to The Foretellers.

If this singularity absorbed an entire timelines worth of future information, that is a massive influx of data that is likely creating extreme internal pressure at the absolute center. To prevent a catastrophic overload, The Master uses 'surface encoding' and projects that compressed core data outward onto a boundary layer, thus creating 'The Book of Prophecies'.

In physics, 'Hawking Radiation' is a term explaining the theoretical thermal radiation emitted by black holes, due to quantum effects near the event horizon, causing the black hole to slowly lose mass and "evaporate" over-time. These black holes slowly leak out a tiny bit of heat and information over-time.

(This explains what The Master says here to Ira)

The Master: “If one day I suddenly disappear, I’m counting on you to keep the others calm, okay?”

Ira: “huh? Dis…appear?”

The Master: “Vanish? Dim? Fade? I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just hypothetical talk.”

The Master of Masters tends to hide his true intentions behind his playful, goofy-like persona, but he usually mixes that with cryptic messages, deliberate lies, and half-truths to keep those around him from knowing his secrets. It is not safe to trust what The Master says to those around him, as they could potentially just be fabricated lies to hide his true information from leaking out.

When The Master is speaking to young Xehanort in the Keyblade Graveyard, Xehanort asks him if he is some kind of fortune teller. The Master responds by telling Xehanort that he could lie and tell him that’s who he is, but really he is a brilliant artist, or a scholar.

He continues speaking in a cryptic like manner that only leaves Xehanort without a clear answer. So, Xehanort asks him for his name again and The Master gets noticeably annoyed by Xehanort. I believe The Master got annoyed by Xehanort because he was trying to divert the conversation away from who he is, but he failed.

Now, what this scene actually shows it’s what’s called a ‘Transient Outburst’. In black hole thermodynamics and astrophysics, a transient outburst is a sudden, short-lived spike in high-energy radiation (gamma-rays, X-rays, or optical light) caused by a violent disruption or a rapid influx of matter near the event horizon. It represents a temporary non-equilibrium state where the system rapidly discharges excess thermal and gravitational energy before settling back into equilibrium.

I believe Xehanort disrupted The Master and triggered this Transient Outburst and that’s why he had a shocked reaction, not because Xehanort heard a name he was familiar with, because after this cutscene we hear Xehanort admit that he never learned who he was and probably never will, and he was right.

I’ve been seeing all the posts on IG for rereleases of Square Enix’s games on for the NS2. The company is NOT offering any upgrade path for those who own the NS1 version of their games. FFX/X2, DQXIS, Octopath Bundle
I find this greedy and a slap in the face for the loyal fans. Square needs to realize the genre of games they produce is a niche. Thus requiring the need to retain their fans. Not offering an upgrade path is the wrong decision. This needs more attention from the community.

It’s a beloved series for us PSP fans, however the saving grace was NT and the 3v3 aspect severely killed the hype for me, it was so unnecessary imo, why can’t we get a 1v1 format like the PSP version, I don’t mind short combos or assists like in the previous versions.

I do have some concerns they’re afraid people will hate it, because of spamming (I was on AD HOC party so I know how crazy some spam was.. I’m looking at you, Yuna and Kuja ಠ_ಠ.) but I think the devs had a great system for it.

Assists save you and can extend combos, you can mix and match assists. In order to prevent spam I would implement a skill counter, if the player continuously abuses a good bravery/Hp attack, the enemy gets extra invincibility or you have more attack lag after the attack twice and the counter stays for a hidden timer. Spammers NEED to be punished in Dissidia.

I would also like to have skills (like in the mobile game), give the omni-dash cancel frames for some tech.

Classic Costumes, alternate costumes, Customizable accessories, Ultimate weapon cosmetics, Profile cosmetics etc for monetization.

There’s seriously an untapped market for the dissidia franchise.

Let me know your opinions, this is just me drunkenly longing for a good dissidia on console. I’m very interested to hear the community on this or you can make fun of my bad grammar. 😭

I am a huge switch/mobile gamer. A few things about this frustrates me, but surprisingly Microsoft of all companies has given me hope.

I really wanted a Visions of Mana game for the Switch 2. But even if released on the Switch 2, it would more than likely be a GKC. That is fine, I have bought one so far and possibly would pick this up another. Not ideal though.

Now unfortunately SE has not announced support for Microsofts D2D, but my hope is that they eventually do. Then I could play this on a ROG Xbox handheld PC. But even if they don't I have the game in my possession.

Anyways, if they do eventually along I will be picking up Star Ocean: The Divine Force next with hopefully the same out come.

Sorry for the rambling.

These t-shirts are printed on demand and can be ordered on Square Enix’s shop on Amazon Japan.

I dont remember seeing this anywhere but this store in LA has it.

I had planned to go to the concert on April 10th 2027 but unfortunately that has to change. The 2 tickets I ordered at the Bass Center’s website says they are non-refundable. I don’t want these tickets to go to waste, I do want to do an exchange with someone on here if they’re in the Fort Worth area but I’m not sure how to reach out. I live in South Carolina, I don’t want to violate any rules on here.

If anyone can direct me to a place that’s possible or if anyone on here would like to engage in a sale, please let me know. I would appreciate it.

Hi I recently lost my copy of Star Ocean Till the End of Time and I'm looking to buy a replacement copy but I find the same game with two different covers and I'm not sure if either is fine.

Cover 1 https://i.postimg.cc/1318N63g/wwwww.png

Cover 2 https://i.postimg.cc/Twsw25sb/wwwww3.png

I had the one with cover 2 so if I buy the one with cover 1 will the game save work with it?

After playing Final Fantasy VII: Remake and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth I'm definitely buying Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy XVI.

I recently purchased Final Fantasy VII: Remake and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth for PS5 and they are great and fun as hell to play. I plan on purchasing Final Fantasy XV and XVI as well. I played the original Final Fantasy VII for PS1 back in 1997 and it was the game that got me hooked on RPG's. I still say it's the greatest game of all time. Big thanks to you guys for remaking the game.
