New FFVII community showcase is up! This one’s big. www.profnoctis.com/essay

OMG AM I IN A DRAGON QUEST GAME?! And is this a nod to my love of FFXV fishing?! This is a heck of a coincidence 😂

LIVE talking about FFXIV Evercold and testing out the FF7 Rebirth Switch 2 demo by collecting chairs! Plus, a tiny little life update I've been keeping secret... Links below youtube.com/@profnoctis twitch.tv/profnoctis

Idk, maybe instead of saying "They ruined the art direction!" we could just chalk it up to an example of "Dynamic Weather." But then again, I'm a glass half full kinda guy. Either way, I think it looks terrific.

I never played AC: Black Flag back in the day, but after watching the reveal showcase, Resynced is exactly what I want. These shots look incredible. I don't know much about the historical Golden Era of Pirates, but you can bet I'll be learning (and sharing with you) this summer

Going live NOW Live reacting to the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Resynced showcase— Then we’re tackling: -What piracy was ACTUALLY like -An Emory student’s critique of the game (my Alma mater!) -Why we prefer the myth over the reality #sponsored #ubisoftpartner Twitch.tv/profnoctis

I NEVER realized the music of FF7 was doing this. Today, we break down several iconic tracks to see how Nobuo Uematsu literally tells the FF7 story through sound — with Music Theory Professor, @anatonerich.bsky.social ! youtu.be/s4joQq0ONDk?si…

What the Ocarina of Time Remake needs

At the end of the panel today, I shared a pretty cool announcement. FINALLY, for the 10th anniversary of Final Fantasy XV, I’m working on a series of projects based on my dissertation. And this one may just be something YOU can contribute to!

Hey #PAXEast, come learn college level insights about Final Fantasy VII, without the grades or tuition fees. See you at noon!

Why do I have eduroam at the local hipster bakery but not in my classroom and other questions of the modern academic

PAX is cool because you get to meet people you only ever interacted with online. Great to finally meet @slamzany.bsky.social @justthegems.net, and @retrobrandon.bsky.social and talk JRPGs #PAXEast

Hey PAX East folks, Come hang out with me at this cool panel— “Final Fantasy VII: Your Academic Panel” Plus, I have a special announcement at the very end that you Prof OGs will be VERY excited for. 👀 #paxeast

Working out with Nex Playground at #paxeast Great surprise out of this product. Seriously cool tech with lots of cool games— including Avatar, Bluey, TMNT, and Dude Perfect. We’re gonna need to do a chat with this crew.

Let’s get this place humid!

Pokopia has cooked me because I’m thinking of how my I could finish this project with 5 Pokemon and a dream

I'm guesting on Nintenbyte with @nintendoprime.bsky.social and a whole bunch of other cool people. Obviously, to talk about all things Nintendo, DLSS, and probably my unhealthy addiction to Pokopia. Come hang! www.youtube.com/@NintyPrime

Live with more Shinra Arch Cut! It's *technically* stream break, so we're vibing all the way to Costa del Sol! twitch.tv/profnoctis youtube.com/@profnoctis

The February FF7 Essays are up on the website! Hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did! Thank you to everyone who contributed. profnoctis.com/february-ess...

Whoa, DLSS turned DQ7R into a 2004 film

Two of our members recently had the pleasure of talking with @profnoctis.bsky.social about retranslating FFVII and restoring cut content for the SAC mod. Tune in if you'd like to learn more about SAD, our many projects, and how we're working with fans everywhere to keep pushing FFVII to its limits!

I interviewed two members of the @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social department about their incredible FF7 mod that has BLOWN ME AWAY. Check out the full video now on YT. youtu.be/qngyQjfukXk

The song of my people

Oops. Forgot to show the live drawing a viewer redeemed last night. Here you go. It’s the Boog himself.

Going live with the @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social cut in like 15 min!

If you ever wanted an Audiobook of “The Maiden who Travels the Planet” read by yours truly, well today’s your day. More readings to come— including 2,000 Gil, Traces, The Kids are Alright, and On the Way to a Smile! youtube.com/live/-bH37ve...

I know literally nothing about this text, other than it’s about Aerith and it’s divisive. So of course I have to investigate. Live (dramatic?) first reading tonight. If you’ve never read it, come join me! (And if you have, we’ll discuss opinions at the end)

Some texts shape a story. Some complicate it. Tonight I’m reading FF7’s Maiden Who Travels the Planet and asking the only question that matters: What do we do with it? 🔴 🟣 Live 1-hour special tonight at 6:30pm CST Youtube.com/@profnoctis Twitch.tv/profnoctis

Fun one tonight! Continuing the @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social Cut as we rush to save Aerith. See you at 7pm CST! YouTube.com/@profnoctis twitch.tv/profnoctis

Our second FF7 Community Showcase Essay submissions close in ONE WEEK. This topic is a bit more heartfelt and personal, and we've already received a bunch! If you want to participate, check out the prompt. There are a few ground rules, though: (1/2)

Lots to talk about tonight, but mainly, THE BABY IS COMING AHHH Playing more @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social Cut tonight bc I want to Also, move over Mark Wahlberg— it’s time for Prof’s 40 Day Challenge! (Aka LENT) See you at 7!

One of my students wrote a paper comparing the mythos-logos of FF16’s Phoenix to that of the people of Phoenix, Arizona… and honestly, it was incredibly well-argued and I may include it in future lectures. Wow.

I know Final Fantasy 7 fans are starved. But you gotta understand, we are in multi platform marketing now. Info will not be dropped in Sony or Nintendo directs. I’d expect it from either Square Enix’s official channels or Summer Game Fest. The marketing push is now for EVERYONE.

Everyone remember to leave an In-n-out double double burger for Hamaguchi so he’ll give us a FF7 part 3 title reveal tomorrow at the PlayStation State of Play!

Low effort graphics but high quality stream because we are doing the @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social Cut of FF7 RIGHT NOW! Twitch and YT!

Found the perfect spot for my Dragon Quest ship in a bottle. This collector’s edition may be my favorite ever! Thank you so much @square-enix-games.com for the gift! My impressions are coming soon! (Work and life delayed me… but this is the perfect end of the day wind down)

Now that I’ve shared my top 5 guesses, what’s yours? (Bonus points if you also tie it to Yogacara)

With the PS State of Play, we're all hyped for a part 3 name reveal! But what if the final title of Final Fantasy VII Remake Part III isn't just a name, but a statement about how the story ends? Let's make guesses based on Yogacara and Jung to think about what to expect! youtu.be/ciTWS83BnCQ?...

RIP Jeep. 2018-2016.

Another playthrough of Final Fantasy XV completed. It remains unquestionably my favorite mainline title in the series. I’ve also been enjoying the commentary/lectures by @profnoctis.bsky.social alongside this run which have made it exceptionally more thought-provoking and enjoyable.

Have you seen the FF7 Essay Showcase yet? Incredible essays from the community on the Ethics of Avalanche. Give it a watch this weekend! www.youtube.com/live/vcmyi_r...

WOW That’s MUCH sooner than we thought! Very good chance that FF7 Part 3 is going to be a simultaneous release across all platforms.

I feel like I did something unique and meaningful tonight. I’m much better at being a content CURATOR than CREATOR I think. This was a blast. FF7 Essay Showcase: Is Avalanche Terrorism?? youtube.com/live/vcmyi_r...

Doing insane stuff tonight. Giving YOU a voice. Can’t wait to see you all.

AVALANCHE AND TERRORISM Community showcase TONIGHT! 7pm CST. PLUS, continuing with the @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social Cut of FF7 (and more remake!)
