If anyone is curious about Octopath Traveler 0, watch this! It’s a great review!
I can finally talk about how much I enjoyed Octopath Traveler 0! I was drawn to this series by the cool art style, got hooked by the banger soundtrack, and stayed for the literary parallels to one of my favorite works of all time: The Canterbury Tales. youtu.be/5RaD4i5A_hk?...

I like to imagine that out there, somewhere, a kid who in his short life had only been exposed to Fortnite / Roblox / Minecraft / COD (you know it happens) maybe saw the hype online and decided to try out E33.
I hope that kid got his mind blown, opening the doors for other gaming masterpieces.

Recency bias has passed. I said it in April, and I’ll say it again today, just as nominations are announced.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is going to be some 13 year old kid’s Final Fantasy VII. And in 20 years, I look forward to meeting a ProfGustave. #thegameawards

I posed this question to my class today, but what do you think:
What responsibility does a “public intellectual” have?
(PI is defined as one who has degree of social capital that gives influence, and an economic capital/cultural contribution that indicates an area of expertise)

A student in my Final Fantasy XVI class left this note for me. 😊 I love teaching, but I really love helping non-gamers find value in this medium.
I have so many little notes just like this. Class by class, I’m creating a generation of FF fans lol.

This is SUCH a fun album. 119 tracks of incredibly creative Square Enix remixes, from the Final Fantasy series to Chrono Trigger and Xenogears.
Possibly my new favorite collection. Check it out (Apple Music and Spotify)

Thought this planet was so huge. But lookin' at it from space, I realized it's small. …kind of makes you feel powerless… That's why I say this planet's still a kid— sick and trembling in the middle of this huge universe. Someone's gotta protect it… That someone is us.”

The Captain was a pilot when Shinra was still interested in their Space Program. He was going to be the world's first astronaut, but there was an accident... Ever since then, he's been wasting his life away here dreaming about going into outer space.
