Final Fantasy 7 Remake - Reacting to the 7 minute commercial from Square Enix (Japan)

Direct Link to Video

Published November 6, 2019

SquareEnix put out the longest ever uninterrupted commercial in Japan's history. It is a 7 minute live action short on the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Remake.  The video is intended for the Japanese audience and therefore completely in Japanese.  Thanks to Little Idols for posting a (mostly) English subtitled version:

I reacted to the video in full with the English subtitles that were available.  I hope SquareEnix puts this video out with proper subtitles in the future so the international audience can enjoy it as well.

Published Sep 25, 2019

Totally hyped for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I talk about the latest information from TGS (Tokyo Game Show) specifically the MUSIC to the new game.  I noticed something when listening to the latest footage when Ifrit was summoned.  I hear battle drums!  Could there be more dynamic music with the other summons?

Trying blackout - COD: Blackops 4 - Shooting people while at the crapper edition

Direct Link to video

Published on Jan 18, 2019

Activision had a free trial of the Blackout mode of Black Ops 4 for about a week.  This is me trying to play an online Call of Duty game for the first time. I have seen a lot of gameplay over the past couple of months but I've never played it until there was a free trial.  I'm still not sure if I'll buy the game since it is online only.. but I had fun for the 3 hours I played on my Twitch stream.  The chat portion was really low (I was streaming directly from my PS4 without a capture card) so I must have screwed up one of the settings..

That damned Mountain! COP Mission 3-3 / Guide to Climbing Attohwa Chasm Mountain

Direct Link to Video

Published December 18, 2018

Continuing our journey in FFXI and going through all of the various mission Final Fantasy XI has to offer.  This particular video covers Chains of Promathia (COP) Mission 3-3B (Windurst Route) that involves scaling the mountain in the East side of Attohwa Chasm.  Once you receive the Mimeo Jewel and have to run up the mountain before it's light fades (and you have to do the quest over again..).  There is no jumping in FFXI so you have to go through a stupid path up the mountain falling off ledges until you get to the top. You have to get to the top within 1 real life hour and not use any exploits (including using a Nexus Cape..).  It was as annoying as I remember!

Starting in Vanadiel - 2018 - Maat Fight - FFXI Level Cap 70 Quest

Direct Link to Video

Published October 29, 2018

Continuing our journey in FFXI from scratch requires you to do a series of quests to raise your level cap from 50-99 in intervals of 5 on your first highest job. We used to call these the "Genkai" quests since Genkai means Limit in Japanese and the game originated in Japan in 2001.

In my case (in 2018) I chose to take my Thief job to the level cap of 99 first.  In this video I complete the level cap 70 quest where you had to fight Maat to allow you to get to the previous Game level cap of 75.  It was the final quest pre-Abyssea era and what veteran players were all too familiar with in order to even touch end-game content at the time.  I had a hard time with it in the past but apparently a new mechanic was included if you progressed through the Rhapsodies of Vanadiel questline up to where you received the Key Item "Rhapsody in Umber".  If you have this key item you can fight Maat with the full aid of 4 Trusts of your choice!  Needless to say I was happy to faceroll Maat after years of dying to him over and over.

Starting in Vanadiel - 2018 - Starting tips 101: Trusts ROV, ROE

Direct Link to Video

Published October 17, 2018

A collection of tips on how to get started playing Final Fantasy XI on PC.  I've noticed that there are very few videos for new players (or old returning players that are new to this content) and decided to walk you around showing you NPC's that are helpful when first starting out.  I recorded this on October 16, 2018.

In this video I cover Records of Eminence (Sparks, money tips, equipment options, xp gains, bonuses), Trusts (where to get them, how to start getting them and how to use them), Rhapsodies in Vanadiel (helpful storyline that streamlines the process of acquiring useful unlocks for any player both starting and veteran) and show starting NPC's that are useful for a brand new character or even a returning one that has never started this content.

Continuation of our journey back to Vanadiel after a 9 year break.  We were unable to recover our old accounts so we went ahead and started with brand new characters.  Finally got a new account set up and recorded a bit of the first week of play in the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game called Final Fantasy XI.  I included game footage of our play sessions showing a bit of issues I have with recording the footage. I apologize that the video isn't great.  I'm currently working on a solution.  As of the recording my husband and I are Rank 5 in San d'Oria, got our sub jobs open, our mounts and currently working on LB2!

Published July 25, 2018

No Man's Sky was released 2 years ago on PS4 and I played dozens of hours when it first came out.  Then I took a break until the new updates came out.  It's been a year since then and I decided to start fresh from a brand new save with the NEXT update.  I'm relearning the game from scratch and so much has changed from when I first started! I love the new changes even if I'm really rusty.  I'm very happy that this games feels brand new and I didn't have to pay for more updates. All of these are free with purchase of the game!

10 year anniversary for Rambling Rican! New Banner (Finally)!

New website banner!

Geez. I've been around for a decade!  10 years have flown by!  And as per tradition.. I forgot to update the banner.. Last year I managed to get it up by April 1.. but this year it was busy with me moving to our first home!  Dust is still settling from the move but I'm starting to get back into it again with updating site stuff and trying to revamp my lineup.  I'm still working on stuff in the background and hoping they will see the light of day.  In the meantime I've been live-streaming gaming on Twitch on occasion and doing anime vlogs on YouTube between doing two different podcasts (one for gaming and one for animation, cartoons, etc.) also on YouTube.
