While his retirement has been speculated that exist implicitly, including if it is part-time or full-time, Nobuo Uematsu has agreed to compose the main theme of #FinalFantasyVII Remake's 3rd game.

The famed Japanese musician said recently that it would take a big and meaningful project for him to compose the full score of a game like he used to, mainly in Square Enix games.

Square Enix said a few year ago that the current Remake series of Final Fantasy VII is composed of 3 games, 2 already released and the final being in development with no release date target yet.

I am going to try to learn how to speak Japanese. I want to visit Japan some day. Going to be challenging but it will be worth it.

With a MSRP of $30, Square Enix confirmed that their new PVP game, #Foamstars, will land as a PS Plus Game for Playstation in February 2024 and ohh, and the Japanese company urges people to stop calling the game a Splatoon's answer.

The rumor since the weekend is Sony's reactive move where the Japanese company is looking and scouting potential games for Playstation exclusive deals from South Korea gaming studios.

Amazon Games taught us about how serious Korean developers are on gaming with Lost Ark.

Of course I am defining "reactive" due the performance of the FTC on pleading on their case for the Preliminary Injunction against Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard and that Sony foresee the transaction to close.

Another main gaming company has announced its own presentation window and it is Japanese veteran Capcom, which will run its #CapcomShowcase next Monday (June 12) at 6PM Eastern Time.

It will be more or less 36 minutes and will include news on upcoming games & new announcements.

So, I stopped playing Nier Replicant fairly early on, because the quests I was doing were all tedious and irrelevant, and I felt like the writing for a lot of the common character dialogue was just... not great. As with a lot of Japanese media, they get so focused on the BIG elements of the story, that they don't care how much sense it makes getting you there, and things feel...very patchwork and forced in my opinion.

But listening to more of the music...I dunno, it's making me wonder if I can overlook the downfalls to get to the major parts, 'cuz damn it, Song of the Ancients: Fate is amazing.

Sega and Tencent respectively have confirmed to IGN that they will not have active exhibition either at this year's E3 which is just another blow for ReedPop first year organizing E3 on behalf of the ESA.

From Sega, the japanese studio is looking for it's own alternative to showcase future project, meanwhile Tencent only limited on saying that neither the company nor the its games publishing division Level Infinite won’t be attending E3.

Words in the industry says that ReedPop's claims of having AAA gaming company onboard hard to confirm as nobody within the marketing community has heard how many are indeed having a presentation and both ESA and ReedPop silence is not helping matters on hopes that E3 this year will be a MUCH NEEDED success.

And that Sega and Tencent pulling out is a reflexion of the frustration of lack of communication from ReedPop and ESA.
