Final Fantasy 13 Chinese Edition

I have been playing SquareEnix RPG since the early days where they were still call Squaresoft in the SNES. All the time i have been gaming in English since i dun understand JP that well, and finally yesterday SCET announced that a Chinese Version FF13 will be release on the coming May!!! What a shock.... first time i get to have a great JP RPG ported to the PS3 in Chinese.

One of the reason of this out rages announcement is because of the great anti-piracy system that PS3 had, and the rise of sales of original software in China. Finally consumer that understand Chinese dun need to choose in between JP and English, they can have their own language version.


Anouncement during 1.20min onwards

Ok info frm SCET has confirm that the FF13 Chinese version will be in Chinese Text + Sub while all the VA will remain in JP. What great news for all the Chinese Literate gamers, it would be definitely better than the English dub version which i think most ppl complain about.


GOOD JOB SquareEnix and Sony!!!

SD RX78 30th Anniversary Ver.

This SD took me quite some time to color it, I was busy and had no time for my hobby.

SD Gundam are really cute but also really troublesome to paint since they are also the one with the most in-proper color than the original due to parts limitation. This is not an exception for this SD Gundam RX-78. This is a 100% clone of the original SD Gundam from the old old SD G Generation series.

So all its white parts are in a greenish type of white (like those Jegan type of color) so if you dun paint them i dun really want to display them at all.

No water decal for this kit, so i was stuck with those green color base sticker...

This is first and only SD Gundam i ever finish over all this year. All I could said is i would really like to finish my RX-78 Gundam collection....

Frm the left onwards is SD RX78 30th anniversary, HGUC RX78 ver2.0, and MG O.Y.W RX78.

But i know i cant complete it without the first PG ever made and that is PG RX78... but i missed the chance to get it on RM300.....

Macross PVC Ranka & Shirley

More Macross gal PVC for me. I acquire the Alpha Omega Shirley almost 2 months ago without opening her up for sunshine, and only thought of doing so when i receive my Megahouse Ranka.

So the first thing i notice after i opened up my Shirley Nome was that it has some blue paint transfer frm its shirt to her arm.

So nothing cannot be solve with a Hobby knife....since the original PVC is mold in the skin tone color so by scratching the surface everything should be fine.

Yeah nothing beats the Diva of the Universe

The face expression and eyes are all really well done...

You can swap around with her performance outfit or even mix them up.

Ok then is time for Ranka Lee. Ranka is in her China Dress Nyan Nyan Outfit, which give you and option to either put on her apron.

Ok now i sense a big difference.... the quality and the feel of Megahouse Ranka is way better than Alpha Omega Shirley.

What I really like about her is her expression.

Apron on

It comes with three 'bau's.

Overall both of them are really well made Macross Frontier PVC... even better than my Alpha Omega Klan. But if you make me choose one as my favourite now that would definitely be Ranka.

So now i am looking forward for next year Alpha Omega Ranka Lee Cinderella version... maybe that one gonna take over my current Ranka to become my favourite Macross Frontier PVC.

Final Fantasy XIII East VS West Theme Song

Guess by now all the fans or non-fans of Final Fantasy XIII have already know that Leona Lewis will be singing for the English or International Version Final Fantasy. However does it really fits into the game or just pure propaganda for the game itself so it can be more famous?

I wake in the morning
Tired of sleeping
Get in the shower
And my make my bed alone
I put on my make up
Talk into the mirror
Ready for a new day, Without you
And i walk steady on my feet
I talk my voice obeys me

I go out at night
Sleep without the lights
And i do all of the things i have to
Keeping you on my mind
But when i think I'll be alright
I am always wrong cause


My hands
Don't wanna start again
My hands
No they don't wanna understand
My hands
They just shake it try to break whatever piece i may find
My hands
They only agree to hold
Your hands
And they don't wanna be without
Your hands
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go


I talk about you now
And i do without crying
I go out with my friends now
I stay home all alone
And i don't see you everywhere
And i can say your name easily
I laugh bit louder
Without you

And i see diferent shades now
And i, I'm almost never afraid now
But when i think i'll be ok
I am always wrong cause


My hands
Don't wanna start again
My hands
No they don't wanna understand
My hands
They just shake it try to break whatever piece i may find
My hands
They only agree to hold
Your hands
No they don't wanna be without
Your hands
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go


Sometimes i wait
I see them reaching out for you
Quietly break
whatever sheilds i spent so long building up
I cannot fake
Cause when they cry im almost broken ..??..
They miss holding my baby

My hands, My hands

No they don't wanna understand
They just shake it try to break whatever piece i may find


My hands
Your hands
They don't wanna be with us?
And they will not let me go

No they will not let me go

Here is the JP version theme song Kimi Ga Iru Kara (dont mistake this with another anime theme song)

Because you suddenly said, “it’s alright to cry”
I was somehow happy and smiled without a tear
Unfortunately, I’ve hurt you with overly clumsy words
Nevertheless you haven’t left me, but keep
supporting me in this way even now
surely…

The wishes and dreams I want to fulfil
All the feelings I want to send out
That in which I keep believing, summons a miracle
And will be connected to the future
I want to watch over you, always, yes always
Dear, my friend

Because you told me, “you will be alright”, at the time of our parting,
the loneliness I felt, disappeared beautifully with that single word
Opening a new door is something everyone is afraid of, but
when I remember how you've always encouraged me, I am filled with strength

I won’t surrender my honest feelings
All these honest words
If I can convey them with my voice, the future will spread out
Because you are in my heart, forever, yes forever
Dear, my friend

Even if I stop or seem to forget
I vow that I will always keep moving forward
The sky above me is shining a light
until the day I can meet you

I won’t surrender my honest feelings
All these honest words
If I can convey them with my voice, the future will spread out
The wishes and dreams I want to fulfil
All the feelings I want to send out
That in which I keep believing, summons a miracle
And will be connected to the future
I want to watch over you, always, yes always
Dear, my friend

This 2 song are quite different. Different not just in terms of the rhythm but also the situation they are describing.

My Hands is like a girl trying to forget her boyfriend but fail to do so, and keeps recalling the situation when both of them are together. Kimi Ga Iru Kara is like something separated the couple which are deeply in love but without giving up they continue go on and belief in the future.

Since i havent play the game and dont have a clear are the main plot of the story, i cant commend which is more suitable. However i feel that the JP version is on a more correct path, it is like describing Serah and Snow.

Leff 4 Dead 2 (L4D2)

Just got my copy of L4D2 from The Software Bontique which is a day early! Yeah maybe they know that it is my birthday today.... hahaha

This time no mousepad like L4D... instead it came with 5 poster. Beside that they is this Member card i dunno is for what magazine and some coupon for discount on purchasing some Steel series mouse, guess i will be spending more money.

Tonight will be Zombie killing night... COD MW2 will be thrown aside.

The LOST 5th WIP of Zudah non AB

This is an old old old post frm last year that i did not complete reason is I lost some of my picture due to corruption of my hdd last year. So this part will have some missing link to the final product.




So this is another way to cover the seam lines between 2 different parts, scribe them into panel line.




However not all parts of the mecha is suitable, just like the leg part shown below if you make a panel line in between them the MS will look abit awkward. So back to cementing... stick them back together.After they have dried up.... sand them up and you will be able to cover the gap between both parts.









Remember the earlier picture showing back of the hand with a panel line... this is the front part and i choose to cement it and the final product is like below.


Basically the whole Zudah is complete by now... leaving the touch up with weathering color. I would suggest you go buy the Gundam Weathering Marker to do the dirty job since it is much more easier and it wont damage your kit compare washing it with enamel paint (which i did so and some of my truster break off after doing so).

As for the weapon.... used the Burn Steel effect weathering marker to paint on it first then wipe them off with a cloth to create the metalic effect. Sry but i dun have the complete picture here since they are lost.


Apologize again for those ppl tat was following it earlier because most of the picture in the weathering part has been lost.... so thats all i can show. I will snap another picture of my final product sooner today.
