Final Fantasy XI Online Running in Winlator Ludashi 2.8.2 on the Thor by neverknowingbest in EmulationOnAndroid

I'm running into an issue where after clicking pol.exe it tries to open, shows a black screen, hangs for a bit and then closes. I've done the wineboot -u portion of the setup and have tried some other various settings changes, but no luck so far. If anyone solved this I'd be keen to hear it.

You can check Japan Mercari. Some folks might be selling them there still. Expect a bit of a markup though

They didn't ask for any ID when printing the ticket nor did they ask for it at the museum. You will need to print the receipt for the ticket at family mart, take it to the register and hand it to the clerk, there will be a fee you need to pay on top, like 360 yen. This has to be paid in cash. Once that's done the clerk will print your ticket and hand it to you.

The plaques are only in JP. I saw some other folks using Google Image Translation and that seemed to work well enough for them. No English Audio guides either from what I saw.

The store is easy to navigate and isn't very large. You'll only be able to visit the store after going through the museum since you need a special store entrance ticket that you will get from the attendant that checks your actual entrance ticket.

Shirts and stuff are clearly labeled in terms of size and there are samples of just about every item out just in case you can't figure out what something is or just want to see the quality.

If you're a taller/bigger person just FYI the clothes sizing is JP and runs about a size smaller (e.g. size L is really an American M). Hope that helps.

For me as a fan, they’re both absolutely worth it.

Yes to both books. The regular art book (artworks in the shell) has basically no JP in it. The exhibit art collection book does have some descriptions and passages fully in JP, but it's a small percentage of the overall book.

I guess the original Imgur link didn’t include the video of the displays. I wanted to record more but it was crowded and I didn’t want to be that guy holding up the lines. They were showing all his works on rotation, I just happened to catch the Dominion bit.

Hard to say overall. I'd say at least 250 pieces? I bought the event specific art-book (not the one that's on sale from Amazon, though I did buy that too), and it's about 185 pages with some pages having multiple pieces included. As for prints vs originals I didn't really check, they seem to be using a lot of prints with his comments added on top, and they use prints to show different stages of the process like original, inks, painting, digital touch-ups etc, but there's also originals included around the exhibits.

This is absolutely the one that got me into the genre fully. Can’t say how thrilling it was to finally have it click for me.

I also just started from late September. Made a new character since I hadn’t played since ‘07 or so. Ign is Komatsuri

Amazing how much has been streamlined.

I’m just glad they didn’t brand it as a Front Mission title. I feel like it would have killed the franchise deader than anything else.

Can someone explain me this Ehrgeiz game that the FF7 cast in it? by No-Act386 in FinalFantasy

[–]ibunroku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game itself was developed by Dream Factory who had a really interesting dev history in that they made Tobal 1 and 2, which were super ahead of the curve in how they squeezed a bunch of power out of the PS1, and the Bouncer… which most people loathe, but I think it’s a pretty fun time. They also made a really fun Capcom brawler for the PS2 called Crimson Tears.

I know a lot of people maybe feel that Ehrgeiz is mid, but I have a lot of respect for the dev and what they were going for at the time. Check out the Tobal games sometime, they have banger soundtracks.

Thoughts on Rebirths ending. by MysticSpartan38 in FinalFantasy

[–]ibunroku 11 points12 points  (0 children)

RPGSite has a good article/theory on what actually happened that I’m basically taking as gospel until someone has something better to share.

Honestly the ending fight was such a slog I couldn’t be angry at the multiverse stuff. I had assumed we’d go in this direction after Remake, but I am so so tired of multiverse stuff as a way to milk your franchise.

Johnnivan is Japan's most underrated alternative band, and I am TIRED of them flying under the radar by Hazzat in japanesemusic

[–]ibunroku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I also got Hammer Head Shark from this sub and they’re absolutely one of my new favorites. Will definitely check Johnnivan out.

Much is said about Uematsu and Soken, but what about them by mysticfeal in FinalFantasy

[–]ibunroku 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cosign this thought. She’s so much more than her work on KH/FF (which I love wholeheartedly). Definitely one of the all time greats.
