Hey, maybe by 2025 it'll be possible to buy a PS5.
When Sony gets off their asses and actually make more. The Pro versions are slated for 2024, so there is almost no point in getting the base model anymore.

We didn't get a PS1 until 1997.

We didn't get a PS2 until late April 2001. That whole shortage thing was bullshit in late 2000. Our fat PS2 died in 2004, and we had to wait a month to get a PS2 slim. I got another PS2 Slim in 2011, when my brother took his with him.

I still don't have a PS3, and my brother did not get a PS3 until 2012.

I did not get a PS4 until 2015.

I don't know when I am getting a PS5, but it probably won't be until 2024 at the earliest.

No No Kuni, what a wholesome series of wholesome games! No one would dream of, uh...oh.


Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds, a smartphone MMO version of the beloved Studio Ghibli/Level-5 RPG series, is now available globally.

But since its worldwide release, the game's deep links to cryptocurrency and upcoming plans for NFTs have come under the spotlight (thanks, Kotaku).

Players can earn Territe, a currency which can then be exchanged for "Territe Tokens", in game from monster battling, completing various daily missions and other grinding mechanics.

A lovely trailer for Cross Worlds, featuring music from series composer and Studio Ghibli collaborator Joe Hisaishi.
Territe Tokens can be exchanged, sold and purchased on publisher Netmarble's own MARBLEX platform, and transferred for other types of planet-burning crytocurrency via external crypto exchanges.

It's the same for Asterite, a further currency which can be exchanged for yet another token system (Asterite Tokens) from weekly/monthly rewards or the game's PVP arena.

Your handy guide to Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds' cryto integration.

As for NFTs, these are not in the game yet but soon will be.

There's something starkly depressing about the game's content roadmap, which includes the following simple bullet point for Q4 2022: "Add NFTs". Full points for transparency, I suppose.

NFTs: coming Q4 2022.

Apart from the sad fact all this simply exists in the game at all, players have also called out how the game's mechanics - including its PVP offering - is being exploited by those who simply want to pay for its best gear and monsters.

Fancy something more wholesome? The enjoyable Ni No Kuni 2 finally launches on Nintendo Switch this September, following its original release for PC and PlayStation back in 2018.

I saw an ad for that a couple of days ago on youtube. I was thinking who the hell signed up for this? Just best to ignore it and move on. Just remember that there's only two of those games and that the spinoff is not exist.

Can we get more than 40 seconds. They might as well just done a 2-minute trailer and posted it at a later date. At least it's something.
