Parachutes aren't for everyone.


Where are you? There was a very promising but short trailer shown ages ago. It's had my attention more than many other games I'm actually playing and there's been no new information on this game.





The only new piece of potential information about this game is that the main protagonist looks like the king from "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King".

The art style is essentially the same with a different execution in each game, but there are enough similarities between the two for a case to be made here. Their ages are also different. Could My Life as a King be a game that's really the memories of older, fallen king? something that he's reminiscing about?


Is that title telling of what happens in the Crystal Bearers? Is the main protagonist really the king? If so, why is he no longer a king as the tile would seem to imply? "My Life as a King". "As" doesn't always imply past tense, but in this case it could. Is the main protagonist related to the king? he could be king before or after his ruling or it could be a relative or descendant. I don't believe My Life as a King is simply a filler title. I believe that the story of that game has some sort of significant relation to the Crystal Bearers besides being a Crystal Chronicles title.

de Blob is Evil!

This blog is not here to deliver the latest news and most up-to-date reviews. It is here to simply express passing and active thought about the games I play and the games that interests me, along with anything to do with gaming.





The video above is from IGN's latest preview of the game. I've been keeping tabs on this game and everything so far has been looking good. It's an exclusive for a system I own, I like the premise of having to literally bring color back to the world, and I finally get who you're plying as.


Anyone could tell you that it was de Blob, but often before video would have de Blob in motion and use a camera change to show him. I'd just acknowledge that the freaky, evil thing was de Blob. Now I can truly see that he is the blob that you play as. It sounds crazy, I know. I have to live with myself and you don't so be grateful.

That above is the blob. It contrasts greatly with the overlying world an both its' citizens and government conquerors. Without reading anything on this game, anyone could easily mistake it for an enemy. I like him, but he just seems like a menace and not the hero he's being made out to be. It's a very nice change of pace for a game, normally he would be an enemy or an anti-hero. Instead he's not only the hero, he's de blob.
