RF Online Philippines


Hello there, ive been playing this certain MMORPG (Massive Multiplyaer Online Role Playing Game... whew) called RF Online or Rising Force, its been out for quite some time now, anyways, its a very unique game considering the fact that there are tons of other online games already available locally here in the Philippines, but this one made me turn around and look at its craftiness and suave, hehe, cant think of the words right now.

Ok so lets start with story, conventional RPG has a story that needs to stand out above the rest, so that it can be distinctive, and also it needs to burn the fire the player craves for into the game, RF Online has a story that tells about 3 war driven factions, the Accretian Empire, the Bellato Union, and the Cora Holy Alliance, and the ultimate price.. the Crag Mine, solely guarded by none other that the Halostone Keeper, war rages on every 1pm, 9pm and 5am (that is local time for us people) that war is called the Chip War, everytime a race wins that war, and was able to deliver the chip to the keeper, a good 7 hours is given to them by the keeper to mine inside the very heart of the mining area and the best thing about it is that they are well protected by the keeper itself.

CLOUD AND FENRIR *updated 10/23*

Last Saturday i got this Final Fantasy Advent Children Figure from Ham, a seller at BIDSHOT.COM, It's a full scale version of Cloud and his bike the FENRIR, and you know how much this Collectible is? haha! SECRET! Today im going to tell you all about this nice thing, its positive and negative side, articulation, posability, etc. havent got clear pics, but i'll provide some from the net, so heres my impression about this collectible:






















P
ackaging : Man, the freakin' thing is huge, even if you dont open the goods, the box has all of its sides open so that you could see the insides with no hassle, it's a good thing coz if you are not planning in displaying it outside of the box, many could still admire it while boxed up, the only problem i got with the box is the fact that its easy to get damages from the sides, what i could suggest is that try to cover it up with a clear plastic and place it on safe rack, all in all its a good deal for the box..

























Figure/Articulation/Representation: The figure itself, Cloud Stri
fe, is already a good deal, if you've seen FFVII:AC, this is a dead-on likeness of our main protagonist, so its a good thumbs up for our hero here, articulation is good though, but limited, it could have been nice to see the torso a bit more articulated, just like the figures on the Marvel Legends Line up, still you would be able to pose Cloud with all his glory. The representation is already a perfect one for me, if only the makers of this collectible included the whole assortment of Clouds First Tsurugi (translated as "First Sword" in English) then this would be the ultimate bad-ass toy... hope they make an assortment.









































































Bear with me, my shot are a bit way off, im using my MOTOROLA V3i!!


Overall impression: I recommend this to all that loves FFVII:AC, though there are some minor setbacks, its still the best collectible that represented this one of a kind hero, also try to look up for the other PLAY ARTS Figures, i'll post them as soon as i get each and one of them!

Oh and by the way, a friend of mine informed me this, BEWARE of
BOOTLEG versions of this toys, if you are going to buy in COMIC ALLEY, COMIC ODDYSSEY, DATAVENTURE, look at the figures thouroughly, if you are uncertain about the figures that you are looking, check the figures itself, loose part s, different color scheme, remember guys, japanese toys are so into details and paints, so please be ahead and use your brain, if you are not satisfied by the looks then dont buy it, i do recommend going to Virra Mall San Juan, but i am not assuring any particular store but Vira Mall would be a safe bet to get the originals, ok guys?

Also try BIDSHOT.COM!!

Gundam Galore!!

This are just some of the Gundam Kits i have, its a bit way off comparing to other sites that shows off their well modded kits, but hey! im a beginner here! haha! enjoy the pics, hopefully, i'll review one of them soon...

This "Perfect Grade" Strike Freedom Gundam / Lightning Edition cost a lot and i didnt even had the resources to mod it, all i got was a gundam marker and a Zippo lighter fluid to make some of the parts a bit washed off, hehe... leraned it from a site that teaches weathering effects on small scaled models... anyways, its a good model, yet very expensive, i got it with a staggering price of Php 7,600 and it doesnt even have a set of batteries! haaay.... life is not so cheap here in the Philippines... oh, well...


Though, you dont need to pose the SFreedom on its own, it has its very own stand where you can do poses just like on the series, be warned that you need to limit the poses as to the polycaps on the Dragoon wings could wear out easily, thank GOD mine is'nt yet, hehe, also be VERY, and i do mean VERY careful in posing the Gundam, why? coz deep inside that massive model is an intricate layout of the wires and bulbs that makes it all light up like a x-mas tree, believe me, its like a bed lamp at night (see pictures below) also, theres one more issue to attend to... the light up eyes of this model, its a bit of a problem, why? the eyes needs to light up seperately from the body, and requires a button sized battery to be able to lite up, luckily i have found a way to direct its power source from the body itself, thanks to Danny Choo ( check out his site at dannychoo.com) he got so many stuff there that could interest you profoundly! anyways, ill explain that section on how to light up both eyes and body of this model once a find time to do so, im still patching up some things here in my blog, right now enjoy the pics that did with this model..
