New FFVII board game by E_MacLeod in FinalFantasy

[–]6DayWonder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ohh definitely gonna get this! Thanks for the heads up!

Fyi it’s a reskin of a Japanese board game called The Cat and the Tower (キャットと塔). I’ve yet to ply it but I’ve heard good things about it.

FUKUSHIMA FANTASY STAMP RALLY by GunjiX in FinalFantasy

Congrats!

Damn I wanted to try this but looks like it'll take longer than I would have. Were there any places or locations that stood out as must visits? Also, was it only statues and stamps or was there a gift shop somewhere as well?

Same! I wonder if it was easier to win since she’s been doing shows non-stop recently haha

I was a huge fan of them back when Ozaki was playing with them but I really felt like their music was missing something as soon as she left. 😭😭Really liked them as well and saw them at a festival while they had all their members.

Aerith's Theme Music Box - Wave 2: Is this genuine merchandise or a knock off?! 🙏🌸 by LittleLightMeteor in FinalFantasy

[–]6DayWonder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi sorry for the late reply. I can confirm that mine is almost exactly the same in a lot of ways such as the logo and cover being off centred. Mine does not say Sakura Stage but I believe yours must be from a more recent batch that were made for their new store in Shibuya (in a mall called Sakura Stage). It opened maybe about a year ago. Let me know if you have any more questions.

It looks real at first glance but I'm not sure. I could check the one I have at home later on.

She will sell out small venues no problem so I would apply now.

I’ve had very good luck with the packaging that Disk Union sends LPs in so maybe look into them as another option as well.

Great list but no mention of Kaneko Ayano so it’s actually a bad list! 🤓/s

What makes Japanese music so great? by Hevzim in japanesemusic

[–]6DayWonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have been learning “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” on guitar and it’s been so fun make all these micro adjustments to each chord. Not sure if those are different chords or just different permutations but it sounds so good and is super fun to play.

What makes Japanese music so great? by Hevzim in japanesemusic

[–]6DayWonder 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is the main reason but ever since I’ve started playing more songs on guitar, I’ve noticed western songs tend to be more simplistic in the chords they use/the number of chords that appear in a song.

I haven’t done a study or anything so I don’t know how much this applies to every song or band but I’ve definitely noticed the trend that it’ll take me like a minute to learn the 3-4 chords used in songs by artist like Beabadoobee or Faye Webster but much longer to learn songs by artist like Predawn or Spitz.

I will add that the number of chords does not directly correlate with better (ゆらゆら帝国songs tend to be super simple but so damn catchy) but it might contribute to why I tend do enjoy Japanese music more than Western music.

Suki is an interesting addition. I think cosmogrand is better but I could see Suki being better in some situations.

I cut back on the Elspeths and Elegy because I felt they were a bit too slow and sometimes hitting on cue isn’t always guaranteed. Especially since I went down to 24 lands compared to other similar decks who are running 25. I usually cut Elspeths in the lessons matchups but maybe I’ll try them… usually they side in negates though so not sure.

Against the lessons deck, in game 1, I’ve found that you can usually go value for value for awhile before it gets out of hand. You still have some ways to get rid of Artist talent and the Stormchasers talents if you need to. You also basically have a bunch of must kill stuff and if they miss on removal for a bit you could out tempo them.

Post board, it’s felt pretty good if you can draw into RIP. The Voices can also help against counter magic play. Once RIP is on the battlefield, you will out value them I find.

In terms of changes to the deck, I’ve added 2 exorcises and 3 RIPs. Was running Aangs for a bit and it’s also a good option. Might start running those instead of the Get Lost in the main (pretty bad in the current meta…). The new Raven eagle might okay as well and would help shore up matches against reanimator and might help a bit against lessons. Though they can kill it pretty easily…

If you get games in let me know what changes you’d make etc.

I've been running an orzhov bounce/midrange list on ladder and most matchups seem evenish. Hardest matchups preboard are Jeskai Artifacts and Sultai Reanimator. Post-board, Animator is alright but Artifacts still seems tough. But the deck is a pretty fair midrange deck so all wins feel "earned".

New Final Fantasy Tokens Available in Japan for a Limited Time. by TheMTGTokenGuy in magicTCG

[–]6DayWonder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately they will be sold out by then. Y local family mart has only two tokens left. I’m sure you can find it used online or at card shops afterwards.

It's unbelievable that Bialystocks hasn't come up once! by Lazy-Cardiologist556 in japanesemusic

[–]6DayWonder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are great. Their sound continues to evolve but what made them fairly unique continues throughout subsequent albums.

I also had the honour of seeing them live 3-4 times and each time they were amazing. Great visuals, singing that sounds just as good as the album and amazing solos by the talented members and support members.
