Ultima Spark

It's the kanji for "temporary", since these are still a work-in-progress.

Meanwhile, at Square Enix HQ: "Who forgot to set the FTP servers to 'private'??"

More supposed leaks (imgur) I won't blame anyone entertaining the possibility that these might be real...I still remember the FFXV plot leak from 4chan several months before that game's release.

I still can't believe Square depicted HD Axel EX like THAT...

I think it's just a placeholder, since his face was never intended to be revealed at this point in time (if ever). Case in point: Young Xehanort in BBS used Saix's model as a placeholder and turned out to look completely different.

I HAVE JOINED THE KAIRI EX CLUB

And here I was, thinking it was due for release two days later, on the 21st. Derp.

KHI's note on that was "When asked if Lauriam is Marluxia, Nomura merely answers 'Lauriam is Lauriam'", so possibly it's just Nomura being coy for whatever reason and not necessarily a hard statement.

Roxas Art EX too OP Kappa

>tfw reddit's constant complaints finally paid off

Got Roxas EX first pull LOL (and now I'm using it as a lynchpin for my coli/lux raid set-ups) There goes my luck for the rest of this year...

...oops, now I feel stupid. Sorry about that. A bit of searching around on Twitter tells me that flower is called the bleeding heart vine...complete with spoilerrific symbolism.

There's a red outfit peeking under that coat...also good grief I do not like Ventus's shorter hairstyle at all. And what plant is the hooded figure holding anyway? It's not a dandelion, and it's not a bird-of-paradise flower...

Reaction to new JP UX story update:

EDIT: Saw the Twitter update, the flower reference seems to fit with her appearance at least, and they seem to be going for some kind of regal/"classy" theme with her.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who thinks these figurines look silly.

...they're the same thing in Japan (ガン -gan, cf. Firagun/Blizzagun/Thundagun in KH1FM/KH2). It's inconsistency on the localisers' part, and far from the only one in the series. FF tier 4 spells are normally ジャ -ja.

The only thing that Star Wars section made me feel was sad and salty over the original EU's death...

>yfw you pulled an all-nighter for this

...I don't. Just like I don't celebrate Australia Day; they don't hold any personal importance to me.

This is an Australian site, why are you bothering with the 4th of July again???

Oh boy, the speedrunners are going to love this. (The first one I assume refers to AS/Data Marluxia teleport stuff-up.)

We just had Angry Summer 2: Burning Boogaloo (read: 40°C+ for weeks on end and a crapton of bushfires) recently and it's only going to get worse...only do so if you're prepared to watch your electricity bill skyrocket after leaving the air-con full blast all day. And this is along the east coast (especially the south-east quadrant from Brisbane to about Adelaide), where the vast majority of us live and is usually more moderate than the inland desert. >30°C >too hot for Sydney ???

Golbez for Dissidia NT (I wish)
