“Quiz Magic Academy IV” and Nihon/「クイズマジックアカデミーⅣ」と日本。

I better make this quick, seeing that I’m about to crash. I always say “I better make this quick,” don’t I? It’s a habit, I guess.

Anyway, remember this entry? Chupiler showed me the site of “Quiz Magic Academy IV” just recently. (Don’t know the release date, but it should be later this year.) For those that don’t know, “Quiz Magic Academy” is a quiz game series by Konami that started three years ago. What makes the series unique is that it’s an online quiz game. The problem with the games is that the questions are obviously in Japanese.

Don’t believe me? “Quiz Magic Academy Net” states in its English page that all of the questions are in Japanese. Oh and guess what? Unlike a game like “Quiz Nanairo Dreams”, a quiz game made by Capcom more than a decade ago and a game I have actually made a guide on, there are no questions that ask about English! That’s what I would assume.

So, why in the world am I ranting about a game I am most likely going to be killed in? The answer is because I have always felt that somewhere down the road, the game or the series in general has potential. What’s funny is that this could end up being, and I am so serious about saying this, my game of 2007. Aside from the art, it has seiyuu such as Tamura Yukari-san who plays as Clala and Kuwashima Houko-san who plays as Ruquia, and this is an online game. Not to mention, this is a learning game.

Okay. I admit. I did see a testing movie that was disturbing, but I won’t get into that. What’s important is that it’s a learning game I’ll end up playing and probably a fun one at that too.

Oh! I will go to Japan in a few months. I am going to be in Tokyo for the most part, altough I’ll try to sneak a day dedicated for Kyoto. I will only be there for a week because of various reasons. I’ll be able to do what I wanted to do ever since I was 17. Of course, I plan to buy a bunch of stuff. I can’t forget this game also. I will try to do well, though I’ll get killed obviously.

I want to visit Seoul after this trip, but that won’t be for a while. Oh well. I will hopefully get the sources I need.

Okay! I’m off! I so don’t want to work the day after tomorrow, but I have to. The reason’s because every last Wednesday of the month is when I have my big laundry day. That’s why. I’ll just wing it for the next couple of days and then I’ll really dedicate February to rest. Ja mata ne.
