Now, With More Sugar

It looks like Captain Kirk finally flew into space.

Cracker Jack Pepsi.

Wendy’s Frosty Cereal.

Some interesting news coming out. Nothing important, just a couple of things that caught my eye. And, this whole time, I was reading New Shepherd as New Shatner. I kept thinking why would they name the rocket after William Shatner? Must be trying to capitalize on his name.

Now, we have some releases coming out this week. FFTCG Starter Set, and Meta Zoo. We will have both. I looked into MetaZoo, and I liked that they are using Urban Legends and “Real” Monsters. It gives it a certain charm. Imagine playing with the Killer Clown, that’s seen on the side of the road, when you’re driving through the forest at 3AM. Everybody knows about it. Sure it might just be some idiot trying to scare everybody driving by, but he made his mark on history. Especially since It came out, back in the 90’s. (Tim Curry was a better Pennywise). Now you have videos on Youtube, and Facebook, and Tiktok and what not. With people filming these clowns standing on the side of the road holding balloons. And so, this Killer Clown can take on the Sewer Alligator. You know the one that got flushed down the toilet at the zoo on accident. And now, it crawls through the sewers looking for whatever food it can find.

Shinra Vs Avalanche, I keep saying that backwards. It’s Avalanche VS Shinra. We’ll have 10 new cards available to us. Almost like a sneak peak at Crystal Dominion. More FFVII cards incoming. You can’t blame them. That was the game that launched Final Fantasy into the number 1 spot back in 1997. Now, nostalgia has set in and I know I will be fixing up a Turks deck. If they can only give us a great Reno and Rude cards.

War of the Visions.

-Spoiler Alert-

So, it looks like I spoke too soon. Everyone has not died. Just some of them.

King Robb is still dead. Mont killed him. Not Muraga.

In front of Macherie too, and Englebert.

Now, I’m stuck trying to beat Sterne. Serves me right for not playing with Mont at all this whole time. I thought it would just have been an easy story battle, but nope. I sent out a Level 1 Mont against Sterne the first time. The Battle lasted one Mighty Break. I realized at that moment that no companion can save me.

I had to take Mont and level him up. He is currently at level 79 and is still getting his butt kicked by his younger brother. Hopefully by next week, I’ll have enough Mont shards to Limit Break him a couple more times and get him to level 99. He should be able to take down Sterne by then.

-End Spoilers-

There is also FFVII : The First Soldier coming out. From what I’ve seen there is no Story mode in it. I’ll probably give it a try, but I’m not a big fan of shooters. Unless they have a great story. Something along the lines of Bioshock. Even Dirge of Cerberus had a good story, but that just might be because I’m a big fan of Final Fantasy.

More Ramblings? Let’s Just Call It News

It’s been an eventful week. Lots of news and spoilers for FFTCG. And, we like that. It means we’ll soon be cracking some new packs. Hopefully with better luck this time.

Avalanche Vs Shinra Starter Set will be coming out next Friday. They should be here on time, but you can never be certain. Not at the moment. There are shipping delays everywhere and there is no end in sight for them. But, we’re feeling optimistic.

We should have a couple more Opus XIV videos coming up, we still have a booster box and a couple of Prerelease kits to crack open. Still looking for that elusive Cloud Full Art. It’s got to turn up somewhere.

Cause sometimes when you look close enough, you’ll find things you missed at the warehouse. Like Opus XI Prerelease kits, or Tifa Tins just laying in the corner, because you misplaced them and thought they were sold already. Doesn’t matter the reason, we have them. And if we look a little deeper we might just find some more Opus XIII boxes. Maybe Lightning isn’t that far off.

War of the Visions

-Spoiler Alert-

Muraga is one hungry fellow, and because of that everybody dies. I think 10 characters we’re devoured or slain by Muraga in the last chapter. I lost count. Except for King Robb. That was Mont.

Damn those snakes. Every single last one of them. They are the bane of my party’s existence. I can’t seem to get passst … well I just did as I was writing this. Luckily, for me I can hire a companion. Starlight Elena, just cut those snakes down just like King Robb did. Only, she didn’t get bit by them.

And, Englebert is still alive. This is getting interesting.

-End Spoilers-

What Happened?

If you’ve been wondering were all the content has gone, we were working behind the scenes here. Re-organizing the office. And, we’re not even half-way done. But, It’s just something we have to do from time to time. Not just re-organizing, but we painted and got the carpets cleaned. And now it smells better.

Well as you might have heard, we will be hosting a pre-release event, but the date might be different than what we had planned. From what I here there is a delay in the shipments. Not by Square-Enix or the distributor, but if you watch the news at all, you would have seen that there are over 80 Cargo ships waiting to enter the Port of Los Angeles. We’ll make the announcement as soon as we know when the kits will be coming in.

Speaking of which, the Shinra vs Avalanche Dual Decks are coming out this month. If there is a delay on those we will know for certain that there will be one for Crystal Dominion as well.

War of the Visions you ask?

-Spoiler Alert-

Like I said before the game has started to grow on me. Mont has just become King. That is where I am at, at the moment. The scene between Mont and Sterne, in my eyes, was the end of the Prologue. The war that will start between the two brothers looks to be interesting.

There are plenty of characters that I like. Dorando and Gargas. Who would have thought that these two would be taking care of a little boy, and entrusting him with one of the ancient relics?

Gilgamesh, the Winged one. Such a powerful card in FFTCG, you can see why they made the card the way they did.

Helena, the Black Rose. Presumably dead. I haven’t seen much of her after she died as the Queen, but whenever I use her as a companion she annihilates the opposition. I can have just Helena on the battlefield and she’ll take care of everything for me.

One more thing.

Do you got something you would like to share with the world? About Final Fantasy TCG, Final Fantasy in general or any other TCGs out there. Well drop us a line. Here, or hit the Contact us in the Menu and let us know through there. We’ll probably give it it’s own post as well.

Looking to hear from you.

Third Times the Charm

It looks like it sucked me back in. Yes, I’m talking about War of the Visions. And, no it wasn’t just because it was featured in Opus XIV. It wasn’t just because of the Final Fantasy VII Collaboration going on. Although it did help. And it sure as hell wasn’t because I thought Mont was a great character. But, for some reason I gave it one more shot and it looks like this time I might actually play it for a while. I’m actually grinding the FFVII events right now. On Auto.

I just don’t have enough time to focus on games right now. With school starting and driving the kids to school. Working at the restaurant all day, and then working on Kardboard Korner any chance I get. The little free time I get I just don’t have the focus to put into a Strategy game at the moment. But, with the Auto-Battle I can see the story, and put my phone down till the battle’s complete. Rinse and Repeat.

On Chapter 3 and Marche, I mean Mont, without spoiling anything, for those that haven’t played it yet, Mont is still … meh.
He almost started to grow on me, but Sterne who’s only been in a handful of scenes, already seams like the better Protagonist, even though I did say he was just a big crybaby last time I played. “Wahhh!!! Mont This! WAHHH!!! Mont That!!!” That was my impression I got of him when I first saw Sterne. And Mont wasn’t too far behind.

I think I’ll finish it this time. As long as the Auto-Battles get me through. That way I can still grind and do whatever else I need to do at the same time.

One thing I do like, is that just like Record Keeper, and Opera Omnia, is that you can slowly build your Final Fantasy Dream Team. It’ll take months, possibly years for them to release the exact characters that you want. After that you go to town, and kick some Fennes Butt!!!

I do know that I missed some great characters as I seen Kain, and Orlandeu. But, that doesn’t mean they’re gone forever.
