So... where to start.....

Today is the day the game Final Fantasy VII Remake was finally released..... for some people. Others might received it late.... And no, I don't have this game, as I don't have a PS4.... Imma continue to play the original Final Fantasy VII at my PSP or some emulator.... Come to think of it, can't believe this game is 23 years old now.... This game is one of my teenage days LOL! That's the time where my PS1 is still living and I started to hut a lot of high quality titles for the aging console, and FFVII is one of many! Of course, the remake was highly demanded, and today the remake is officially released.... in episodic form... Not against it or anything. I do know that the story is expanded a lot from now on. This game means a lot for PS1 fans, as this is the first Japanese Role Playing Game (JRPG) that they ever played. The technical and artistic style of that game set's a standard for other JRPG and even some games, as the game narrative of FFVII was completely fresh and mature for a video game. I have to say, the original FFVII artstyle has aged..... horribly LOL! There's a clash of artstyle, especially on the low polygons and the highly detailed pre-rendered backgrounds! Still, it's one of those games that echoes to a lot people back in the 90's. Will see how this series will continue...

Also, today is Good Friday..... I know, what the heck is this? Basically..... in the Christian calendar, Good Friday is the day of mourning for the day of the crucifixion of Jesus (Yes, Jesus). It's day before the Easter Vigil, followed by Easter Sunday, the final day of the season of Lent, where stereotypically you will have Easter Eggs! (not in my country though...). Come to think of it, my country's Movement Control Order's duration is almost as equal as the season of Lent....

Speaking of my country's Movement Control Order (MCO for short) which is in Malaysia, the government announced that the MCO will be extended until 28th April 2020. Basically extended for another 2 weeks.... Well, gotta prepare to stock up again...

Anyways, stay safe and as the old motto said, "Keep Calm and Carry On"!
