BEHOLD... YS ORIGIN!!!

Subscribers to Falcom's News Express are getting a sneak peek at the latest Ys game, Ys Origin!! It's definitely a prequel. The female character with the axe is Yunika Tovah, and the male is Jugo Fact. They must be related to the six legendary priests of Ys, like Sara and Jevah Tovah and Dark Fact. I will miss Adol, but this game could really be interesting! Check it out, the release date is 12/21/2006.

Upcoming Manga Project!!

That's right, I'm going to put out this manga even if I have to do it myself, in my art gallery, or another blog. I have a good concept for it, and I'm comitted to getting it done. There will be lots of room for all my loves, like action, fantasy, and superhero. The following page is my first ever sketch of the star of the book, and her loyal pet.
Anybody reading this blog, I hope you will check it out when it's ready. I do have a name for the book, but I won't reveal it yet. She may go through a couple minor changes, but I like starting simple:

COUNTDOWN TO PLAY! IN TORONTO

I am so excited to be able to attend the next Play! concert in Toronto! It's only about 16 days away now. This will be my first journey outside the U.S., and it's going to be great! I can't wait to hear the Castlevania music, I hope it's a medley with some of my favorite tracks in it. Another milestone is that this will be my fourth time meeting Mr. Nobuo Uematsu!

NEW ADDITTION TO GUEST LIST FOR PLAY! TORONTO!

Good news, Mr. Jeremy Soule, now the award-winning composer for the Elder Scrolls IV, has been added to the guest list for Play! in Toronto on September 30th. Two additional guests have been announced thus far, Mr. Nobuo Uematsu and Mr. Takenobu Mitsyoshi. Any additional news regarding the next Play! show in Toronto will be reported here.

CONGRATULATIONS TO JEREMY SOULE!!

I am happy to see Jeremy Soule picked up the MTV award for best game music score with Oblivion. My only wish is that it had not come from MTV, which knows so little about game music it is staggering. I want to work on setting up an organization of people that not only loves and enjoys game music, but one that can give game music composers the respect they deserve.

FALCOM'S LATEST YS PROJECT

Well, Falcom is hard at work on what will probably be their most interesting Ys game yet! I am a certified Ys fanatic, so saying I was a little shocked at the screenshots that have been released is an understatement! Where is Adol? What does Falcom have in store for their beloved franchise? It is killing me not knowing what is up with this game! The good thing is we'll know soon enough won't we? Just don't kill Adol, Falcom, and I'll be happy. No doubt the music will be masterful in the Falcom tradition. Enjoy the puzzling, but beautiful screenshots:


I'll keep posting any additional information I get too!
