I am still bad at disco, but I have finally emerged victorious. #yakuza0

Yakuza 0: Majima attempts to distract a crowd with his dance moves. The crowd is unimpressed.

Yakuza 0: Majima and Taiyo discuss sales tax at a restaurant.

Yakuza 0: Majima is confused about UFO Catcher games.

In other news, Sotenbori was not ready for Majima's idol debut; Majima is responsible for high sales tax; and Majima is either a good actor or has memory loss. I made him win several stuffed animals in a substory prior to this plot line. 😅

Yakuza 0: A group of children stare at Kiryu and a dominatrix. A pure-hearted girl remarks that grown-ups are weird.

Yakuza 0: Marina muses that it takes so much to be a man.

Yakuza 0: Kiryu begins an embarrassing stealth mini game. A young boy watches him.

Finally started playing Yakuza 0 last week! For some reason, I thought earlier games in the series would be more serious since my first Yakuza game was Y7. I'm glad I was wrong.

She's celebrating Boxing Day quite literally...

I'll take a break before tackling Intermission. I started replaying a chapter of Remake on hard mode, and I died before finishing. 😂 I am so reliant on items.

since it includes content from the original game's finale. I'll have to wait and see how the rest of the trilogy turns out.

Anyway... Kyrie's design reminds me a lot of Marie's from Persona 4 Golden.

I finished FF7 Remake over the weekend! Dumping some of the captures I took. They're pretty far apart... I think the game didn't let me take captures from the last few chapters to prevent spoiling others? I kind of have mixed feelings about how Remake handled the end of the Midgar arc, especially

Update: There is a cat side quest. Not exactly what I hoped for, but it's still something!

I must have never ran past her room before! It's nice to learn something new decades later.

I tried to push the unconscious bandits into the campfire to see their reactions.

Playground benches are not conducive for restoring health.

Cloud deserves to play too.

FF7 Remake: Cloud Strife stands outside the guest bedroom in Aerith's house. He faces a cluttered hallway.

Didn't realize FF7 Remake was going to have "stealth" mini games besides the original's Shinra building... I made Cloud walk so slowy.

FF7 Remake: Cloud Strife gazes at Aerith's garden in the Sector 5 slums.

It's also fun playing as different characters, which is something I rarely do in games.

On an unrelated note, Aerith's garden is so pretty.

I like how this game handles weapon upgrades. In my experience, weapons quickly become obsolete in JRPGs after you buy new ones. In this game, I change my weapons and armor when a battle demands it. I never really used linked materia in the original game. (I probably didn't understand it back then.)

I'm not really an action game person, but I quite like how the Tales of series and FF7R handle their battle systems. FF7R is kind of a blend compared to the Tales of games I've played since there's still in-battle menus. Still, very fun despite my being bad at them!

Final Fantasy 7 Remake character Barret suggests that the party breathe by saying "Seveeenth heaven! Heaven! Heaven!"

Final Fantasy 7 Remake character Tifa stares at Barret as he chants "Aaa-vaaa-lanche!"

Tifa is so incredibly patient... I was very very bad at the lever game.

Three cats interact with Final Fantasy 7 Remake character Wedge.

How cute. Wedge is a cat dad.

I can definitely see benefits to having Cloud form relationships with the original AVALANCHE members and Sector 7 inhabitants. It'll probably make future story beats more impactful.

With that being said, I don't remember this portion of the game very well. I haven't played the original in ages. I might change my mind once I finish the game. My preference is probably clouded by nostalgia and impatience.

Played a little more of FF7 Remake. Okay, I get how they were able to stretch out the Midgar segment of the story now. From a plot standpoint, I kind of prefer the original's faster pace. But in terms of worldbuilding, I appreciate how much they fleshed out the Sector 7 slums and its residents.

I mean posts. I'm way too used to using Twitter. 😅 I'm hoping there's a cat side quest like in Tales of Symphonia (?).

Finally getting around to playing FF7 Remake... I'll try to avoid spoiling anyone who happens to come across my tweets.

I don't know why, but seeing Cloud walking around with a corsage with that expression on his face really amused me. Also, cats are beloved both in real life and video games.

I generally don't draw outside of work, but I thought it might be fun to recreate some projects I've done with my class. This is based on
a directed drawing activity I found on TPT. (Teachers know what I'm talking about.)
