Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

~Shinyyy Jan 8, 2011

I was talking about "mega-fail" because the idea of FF13 was to be a massive comercial game like the first ff game on ps2 that was FFX, with the same gaming system (linear story and no exploration development). That's why we CAN compare that title with ff13, and that's why i can say FFX is better, except for the graphics.

FF13 tried to give some exploration, with that big Pulse field with many monsters but that wasn't enough. About the story i'm not gonna lie, the ending was beautiful and also every cutscene, and it really make me want to see very soon FF13 versus (story-related). Let's hope the gaming system in general changes at least a bit.

So, the "mega-fail" was like... if i give you an example, that you want to try to make a drawing that was a general success a while ago, and you're trying to se the same technique, but it fails to be a success like the past one. That's what i'm trying to say. But yes... the game has some very good points to notice.

And last thing, hell yeah FF8 is a really good game, that's my fav one along with FF Tactcis.

PS. Play FFX, don't make expectations, but i can assure yout it will not dissapoint you.

~Nekomancerz Jan 7, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

I've played it in PS3 & overall I agree with your opinion..
the main problem is it's linearity... IMO It had potential to be MUCH better if they made it a little more open world like FF XII...
well anyway I still love it... I've played it for more than 100 hours..

*meisan Jan 8, 2011 Professional General Artist

I think open world is interesting ,
about FFXII I heard somany people love it but somany people dislike,for me I didn't finish because I really stuck in some part and I can't go further.Actually I like the world of FFXII and design team because there're my fav.character designer Akihiko Yoshida design character (but I like his work in Vagrant story more)

~Nekomancerz Jan 9, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

yeah, too open world will sometimes makes it too confusing for some people... I used guide/faqs too when I was playing FF XII...

I personally love FF7-FF9, the classic RPG style with a world map with a small town or dungeon icon..

aah!! I also love Yoshida's work much more than Nomura's...

Nomura's work are somewhat monotonous & lack of variation IMO...

I hope the next FF (probably FF XV) will use Yoshida's talent again.. *crossfingers*

~sparktide Jan 7, 2011 Student General Artist

_{I love the graphics and the cut scenes and backgrounds are beautiful.

But you're right; you can't explore a lot. The game plot is so linear and you can't really do or go anywhere else. Not only was it so strictly structured, the story was boring at times... And the names for everything were very similar and confusing!!! There isn't much depth in the game. There were no secret weapons or anything of the sort which was a let down.

I still think FFX was the best Final Fantasy game ever made. I'm playing it now, in fact. :3}

~Mikashi Jan 7, 2011 Hobbyist

I did play it (on the XBOX 360) but then I stopped playing, and tried to get back to playing it a month or two later, and my file was gone...I was so pissed that my file got corrupted, for right now, I'm not even going to bother to restart again, because two battles were a big pain in the ass (I'm looking at you Shiva!, and also a different battle, don't know the name, though.) and also due to the cheesy ending (or so I've heard.)
I believe that the last place I was at, was called the Garbage Jungle? I think something to that affect, I just now all the enemies acted crazy.

~hayth3r3 Jan 7, 2011

The cut scenes look amazinggggggg but i think they were way to frequent, otherwise good

~korovee Jan 7, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I liked it for all the reasons that everyone hates and all the reason everyone loves it. Graphics are great, the Music is good, and the cut scenes are nice.

I never got to play a whole final fantasy game before; i played FF12 and got bored of it pretty quickly and I was just getting into FF10 when my PS2 died, and Dissidia is good but doesn't grab my attention like FF13. I love it; problems or no problems

~CalamityMike28 Jan 8, 2011

I agree with on 100%. I tried to play ff12 multiple times and get bored quickly, and all the reasons most hate about ff13, are the same things that I like about it.

*meisan Jan 7, 2011 Professional General Artist

yeah the's the part I'm also like.
For FF12 others said it's good,
I quite enjoy it but I didn't play it again,
I stuck at the scene have to fight with 2 judge.It's so hard.
