That's a wrap on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! Wow just wow. I went into it hoping I'd like it more than Remake bc I wasn't the biggest fan. Rebirth proved to me the true beauty of this universe. I can't wait to experience more of it! I'll have more thoughts in Nintendo Force and Level Up Legacy.

Thread: Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Switch 2 Impressions I’ve been playing this game on Nintendo Switch 2 for more than 25 hours and having a great time! This is my first playthrough of Rebirth, and I have A LOT of thoughts so far. Check out the thread for more info! 👇

I got to be a part of Indie Quest 2026 and introduce Edge of Memories! I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced, and I'm excited for the demo on June 15. It was so cool to be a part of this showcase, and if you haven't watched it yet, GO CHECK IT OUT! 👇

Summer Showcase season is one of the most wonderful times of the year, and we had a blast making predictions in this week's episode! Check out the video below, and let us know what you'd like to see announced! 👇

STARBITES IMPRESSIONS THREAD I've played about 15 hours of STARBITES so far on Nintendo Switch! This turn-based JRPG takes place in a post apocalyptic setting and stars spunky protagonist Lukida. While it's a bit rough around the edges, I've had lots of fun! More info below! 👇

Remaking the Sky games has been such a great decision for Falcom, and so many people (especially in the West) have jumped into the series for the first time because of it. It's no wonder they are going straight into 2nd Chapter to keep up that momentum. It's gonna pay off. 🤩

• With the strong sales of "Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter", Falcom exceeded its revised semester* forecast by double digits (image 2) • The company now expect a record fiscal year* with a revised forecast (image 3) *Semester ending March 2026 *Fiscal Year ending September 2026

Played Mixtape over the weekend and had a great time! It's a short, coming-of-age story most def inspired by John Hughes movies, so folks who grew up in that era will resonate with it the most. While I don't think it breaks the mold, its art direction and OST elevate the experience! 1/2

The first draft is finally done 🎉🌹💝

My Japan trip haul! 🇯🇵 I went a bit crazy with shopping, but it had all my fave things, from gaming merch to fashion and skincare. A few faves: -Sky Evo LE from Tachikawa Surugaya -Sakura Pikachu plush from Pokémon Center Tokyo DX -Pink, chained pants from Ludic Park at Sunshine City

On our last full day in Japan, we first went to Ueno Park and the Tokyo National Museum, which had so much info on Asian history. Then, we visited the Sunshine City Mall in Ikebukuro, and it was amazing! I found some cool J-Fashion that I can't wait to wear when I'm back home.

One more Surugaya find to showcase! I recently played Tokyo Xanadu, and really enjoyed it, so it was a no brainer to pick up the JP Limited Edition box! You just never know what you might find while game hunting. 🤩

We went to Yokohama yesterday! It's a port city around an hour away from Tokyo, and it's beautiful! We visited the Cup Noodles Museum to learn about instant ramen history, the Yokohama Brick Warehouse, Chinatown and another Pokémon Center!

Another cool find from the Tachikawa Surugaya! This is the Japanese Treasure Box for Persona 5 Strikers. It's sealed and has a lot of goodies including the game, OST discs, art book, Morgana towel, shoulder bag, and a Blu-ray on the making of the Strikers theme song!

Another full day in Tokyo!!! We visited the Tokyo Skytree Observation Deck and nearby Pokémon Center, Takeshita Street in Harajuku, the Japan Olympic Museum and finally a baseball game in Shibuya! Japanese baseball fans cheer throughout the entire game. I loved that energy!

My Trails collection continues to grow thanks to this find at Surugaya in Tachikawa! 🤩 The Trails in the Sky FC Evo LE comes with a DVD and special art book, and I LOVE box art so much. 🥹

Happy Anniversary to the game that got me into the Fire Emblem series! I love FE Awakening, and you really can't understate its significance to the series and how it allowed for more games to be made. One of my pipe dreams is to get a remaster/remake of it one day. 🤩

Made the trip to Tachikawa to be face to face with Nihon Falcom's HQ! Yes, it's an unassuming office building, and yes, it was a bit of a detour from Tokyo. But the Trails series has changed my life, and I HAD to see where the magic happens. 🥹

Visited the Imperial Palace Gardens and checked out two more Pokémon Center locations in Central Tokyo earlier today! Also, Tokyo Station, I was not familiar with your game! There were so many adorable stores including the Pokémon Center. I could've spent hours there!

Took a break from Tokyo yesterday and visited Kamakura!! We walked down from Kita Kamakura Station to the town and saw several beautiful shrines along the way. Then enjoyed some street food in town on Komachi-dori!

Dear Falcom, please never stop making ridiculous costume DLC. I'm crying rn. 🤣🤣🤣

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Remake, aka GOTY, will arrive on Sept. 17!!!!

Four Trails figures were announced in the past 2 days! ... Estelle (2nd Chapter design) Revoltech figure Estelle (1st Chapter design) Pop Up Parade L Renne (2nd Chapter design) Pop Up Parade L Rixia (Reverie design) Pop Up Parade L ... Mark your calendars for preorders!

Day 3 in Tokyo was all about Shibuya! We saw some of the highlights including Meiji Jingu, Hachiko's Statue, Shibuya Scramble, etc. And then we hit up the Pokémon Center, Nintendo Tokyo, and the Square Enix Garden!! I LOVE JAPAN SO MUCH

After a full day in Akihabra yesterday, here's what I got! It took some hunting to find the JRPG merch I was looking for, but I'm happy with the Trails, Persona, Final Fantasy and Rune Factory goodies I bought. Today is Shibuya day, so it's Nintendo Store and Pokémon Center time!

First full day in Tokyo is complete! We explored Asakusa, visited the Senso-Ji temple complex, went to a pup cafe, shopped at Don Quijote and Uniqlo, ate some delicious food and finished the day at the Good Ole Tennessee Bar!

At the airport and Tokyo bound! This trip has been a dream for years, and I'm so excited that it's finally time! Let's goooooooooo!
