Specifically, it's the font they used in game for the countdown clocks every player has. It's definitely something to do with TWEWY. And the background music is a remix of stuff off of the soundtrack. I just hope it's not another Kingdom Hearts guest spot.
It so very obviously is TWEWY to anyone who's actually played the game, but to add to this, the location for the site contains "/subaseka/", or "Subarashiki Kono Sekai", the Japanese name for the game. Seems like it'd be overboard to name the site location almost the equivalent of "/twewy/" for some cameo in Kingdom Hearts.

The song and background updates every day, here's the one for 08/23/2012. It adds "Calling" :3:

How did you make it through Alex's monologue and the first time Nall speaks at the very beginning only to have Ghaleon's bad but not as embarrassing voice inspire you to quit?
Because he wasn't motherfuckin' John Truitt :colbert:

Seriously, that guy was a voice actor who was apparently dedicated to and loved his craft, whatever form it took. As the legend goes, he drank a gallon of milk so he could get Ghaleon coughing up blood just right.

Depending on what model of PSP you grabbed you should get custom firmware. It allows you to do fun things like fix the slowdown issues in FFT: War of the Lions. I am posting from a mobile device but if you hit the question mark in this post you can see my link to the fix a few months back. It is absolutely worth it. You can even play SNES and GBA games with custom firmware! There is a whole thread dedicated to it.

I would also strongly recommend the new Tactics Ogre.

What's the GBA emulation supposed to be like? Like which version is the one to get and does it run most (all?) games without any issues?

It's just that I grabbed gpSP-J (version 26720616 from June 16 2012) and gave FF6A a try just now, and while it wasn't bad, I wasn't too impressed.

Within 5 minutes I've had a very noticeable slowdown (for about 3 seconds) when there were 4 enemies on screen at once. And the music/sound effects all sound a bit weird, at least compared to what I remember from the SNES version. Though this might be attributed to the low quality sound used in the GBA version of the game and not the emulator?

I played through FF4A on my PC recently and didn't notice any issues. So I'm just wonder if the GBA emulator for PSP is going to cause lots of issues that are going to annoy me in the long run, or if I'm using the wrong version or trying to play the wrong game.

Barring blowing up your time machine and skipping to the final boss's second form, there isn't really any "best" way to go about it. It basically dictates another layer on your ending, so it's your call whether you want to end it with "I still have a time machine bitches" or not.

As long as you do all those sidequests, none of the boss's forms will be strong enough to keep you from completing the game either way.

GBA and SNES emulation wasn't all that great on a PSP-3000 from what I tried. Weird sound issues and a bit of slowdown in some games, and completely unplayable in others. It's cool if you already have a PSP with games on it but I wouldn't get one JUST for emulation unless it's gotten much better in the last several years

For GBA emulation I keep recommending it but a Dingoo A-320 is awesome. About $100, a tiny handheld, and GBA emulation is near-perfect. So many SNES games have a GBA version too, I played through the SNES FF games on the GBA versions using this thing again. SNES emulation is passable but not perfect, and I didn't try the other emulators. I have mine loaded up with FF4-6, Super Mario Bros 2, 3, and World, the Wario GBA game, and the Castlevania GBA games.

That said if you already have a PSP with emulators I would try it out for a bit and see if it bugs you that much.

The SNES one used to have a weird sound issue with Super Mario World, is that better now?

It was just the most glaring one to me since that's one of the most popular SNES games and the sound effects are so distinctive.

SMW is one that I know for sure runs perfectly. SMW2: Yoshi's Island on the other hand gets slowdown and some audio glitches so its still kind of hit or miss from game to game.

2 Days Left MP3 is available on Square's TWEWY site now, if it's Friday where you live, it adds Hybrid to the medley. I don't think the song changes until 1:13. English lyrics are around then, then there's Japanese lyrics around 4:03.

1 Days Left MP3 (+Twister) and 0 Days Left MP3 (+Twister #2 "The Power is Yet Unknown") are also available, but only accessible through URL or time/date changing. :ssh:

0 Days Left background image very clearly shows the 104 Building and the text "TIMELIMIT WITHIN 7 DAYS", same as in the game. The player pin is also overlaid on the right side of the image.

I hope it's an actual sequel but that's probably hoping for too much :(

I did most of the poo poo up until halfway through Act 3 when it was just companion quests. As soon as I realized Anders hosed me and Kirkwall over and Merrill is only a tolerable retard if I rivarly-ed her from the beginning, I said gently caress it and just went straight main quest.

I chose Mage, didn't matter because everyone's a goddamn moron. First Enchanter was a :wtc: moment, and I wanted to cut Ander's balls off and shove them down his throat. gently caress.

edit: Best moment was Aviline being completely immune to the Boss Stun, so the final boss died talking while Aviline wailed on her.

Least you chose the "right" class since mage is so crazy ridiculously overpowered its like some kind of crime. "Whats that you say? Mages are fleshy? Not with this armor of stone I use, now I've got more armor then heavily armored warriors, HUZZAH, now eat a fireball"

DA2 was good enough in the first act, but then the 2nd came...and my face when I realized you never leave that city. The first act was so small I was expecting like 10 of them to make it a really deep involving game cause DA1 did a good job of that, in hind sight the acts got smaller and smaller and the 3rd was so bad that I don't think I could have survived a 4th with any sanity

PS: gently caress YOU ANDERS, I SHOULD HAVE KNIFED YOU MYSELF. My favorite part as I recall in my playthrough, I leave him alone and piss off that prince dude he swears revenge and you know what happens? I HAVE to kill him anyway, I mean what the eff bioware.

Yeah, but like David Gaider said, you see the impact of your decisions over your ten seven years in the city. Things like this, that, and all the other. I can't help but remember how the city changed, as characters never aged, never moved, and the scenery stayed identically the same, down to the 6 year old corpses in Fenris' house.

Thanks for that, I'd totally forgotten it was out in the US this early, let alone looked for the thread Gyoru said he was going to make. I think I'm still picking up a UK copy, though, if only because my bandwidth's been dire lately.

I remember picking an archer rogue, and it felt like that was a ridiculously overpowered class, especially when the fights devolved into "clicking on an enemy and exploding him before anyone else even gets to them." Good to know Bioware was on the money when it came to balancing. :thumbsup:
