Final Fantasy VII Remake

Well I warned you. Like I said, I am obsessed with Final Fantasy. So now I'm going to blog about a popular topic since 2005. A remake of Square Enix's most popular game in the franchise to date, Final Fantasy 7.

Would I like a remake? Sure why not. I mean, it's one of my favorite games ever made...ever. So why not play it again, and this time in HD! I'd personally play it again with the normal graphics. I don't really care if it's all polygons and crap, a fun game is a fun game. But saying all this, I almost don't want Square Enix to remake it. The reason? There's so much hype over it, everyone's looking forward to the biggest Final Fantasy game of the century, and we all expect perfection...sound familiar? I'm referring to Final Fantasy 13. Everyone thought it'd be great, that it was the "Revolution" for the final fantasy franchise. Well it was certainly something, and that something, was crap! That's right, I, a final fantasy fanatic, hate - no - despise a final fantasy game. Why? I wanted to play a game, not watch a movie and walk around for 80 hours. They basically took the PG out of RPG. So what the hell Square?! I don't want a "role" game, I wanted a game that actually had game in it. An auto-battle function, are you serious? It's like you decided that this one game needed about as much strategy as pong, with half the freaking action! What I'm getting at here, is simply this. If you're gonna remake 7, then do it right. Graphics upgrade, a few new little magics and monsters, and we'll all be happy. Don't fix what wasn't broken. Just make it pretty.

Why yes, I do exist!

Hello nobody, my name is Kevin and I will be your blogger tonight. The reason I'm here doing this is simply because I can. A friend of mine has a blog on this website as well, so I decided "Let's go see what he's got." So I proceeded to find his blogging page and read through a few of them. I liked it, said "Hey, I have a keyboard and hours of free time, I should make a blog too!" So here I am, writing the first of possibly more than one.

So now that the obvious is out of the way, it's time to introduce myself. As I said, my name is Kevin. I'm 18 years old and am the typical teenager...scratch that, I'm a nerd. That's right, I'm a nerd. I play games like WoW and Dungeons & Dragons, have the tan line of a ghost, and an allergy to cats. I play a bit of guitar and absolutely love metal of all kinds. My favorite bands include Hammerfall, Motley Crue, and Blind Guardian.

I also have a girlfriend. To the people (and by people I mean no one) reading this, that wasn't a typo. I do, in fact, have a girlfriend. So you may ask yourself "How is that possible? Are you dying? Is she a computer?". The answers are, "It just is, no, and not to my knowledge". What may come as an even greater surprise is that she, much like myself, plays D&D. Yes there are girls that play it, and no you can't have one.

There is also one note you'll find about me that if you spend even a few seconds with me you'll notice. I have an obsession with Final Fantasy. I'm sure that line alone made the one person reading this close the page, but at the odd chance you stayed, allow me to explain. I like a good story. There you go, that's it. Everyone who says Final Fantasy is terrible because it doesn't have any freedom or you don't like the whole turn based fighting thing that's fine. I apologize that you have the attention span of a crack addicted 3 year old, but I'll save that rant for another blog.

Now if you're wondering what exactly I plan to blog about I'll keep it short. Anything an everything. Don't expect much consistency in the posts either. I just make a blog when I'm either bored or just feel inspired to talk about something. I'd also like to recommend my friend Mitch's blog at http://opendup.blogspot.com/.

Well that's all for now. See you when I see you
