YOU NEED TO PLAY CRISIS CORE!! Also it’s weird I loved Revenant Wings but I’ve never played 12 :O Need to change that, I think 12 looks really good!

I haven’t played all the mainline entries, so my FF tastes may be a little strange…

Working on a Project Diva retrospective!

The 10th anniversary edition of Future Tone DX comes with a Blu-ray with PV’s from all the previous games! The PSP ones are low quality but everything else is HD.

It’s a cool way to watch your favourite PV’s outside the games!

The only Future Tone DX video on there, “39”

Discs 2 & 3 (containing videos from F & F2nd, and X HD and Future Tone)

Woah! That’s an awesome find!

Found another R4 press kit. A lot of the same stuff, but a few new renders and... a layered PSD of the PAL box art?!

Is complicated, it’s a mix of TV size, resolution, and what brand and type of slot mask they use.

My 21 inch PAL Toshiba does have “proper” scanlines.. I also have a 14 inch Sony PVM, and it has proper scanlines too, but this one doesn’t, and neither does my 14 inch Pacific…

They did an amazing job making the castle feel way bigger than it actually is!

Nick Westwood @retrobreak.co.uk · 9d

A friend was clearing their loft out! They let have this CRT! 😲 Trinitron really does look amazing!

Close up of Sonic. Too small for scanlines, but it looks great!

Ooh I haven’t looked at changing the sensitivity! I’ll try that :) I also found that all the different vehicle types basically felt the same.. I was expecting at least the car and hoverboard to feel different!
