@The Imaginatrix,

I forgot Kingdom Hearts... Wow. That was one of the games my family played as well. I too feel as though we are witnessing the making of history.

Happy gaming,
Eric

Hi, I've been following this topic closely as well, and I would first like to say that I too am looking forward to the release of this game.
As for my story, I actually started playing mario on the regular Nintendo, although I couldn't beat any level other then the first level. But I used to love chilling with my sisters as they played and I even helped them get farther in the game. We then got Mario 3, which was quite an awesome game, which I used to play with my sisters, and friends at this point. After playing those games, I got a Sega Genesis from a friend of mine which I used to play Mortal Kombats 1 through ultimate mortal Kombat 3. I had a few other games as well that I used to play but at that point playstation had already been out for a good 5 years or so, and I really wanted one. Before I could even get one of those though, a friend gave me a Sega Saturn which I had 2 games for, Mortal Kombat trilogy and Enemy 0. Enemy 0 was a cool game but I really didn't get to try it out cause I was a kid and that game was super scary and none of my friends wanted to help me play it. Finally, I got a playstation and of course I had mortal Kombat Trilogy for that as well, but my sister, somehow, got her hands on final fantasy 7. I remember when she first started playing it I had no clue about anything that was going on on the game, and she stopped playing it after dying horribly to the first boss. Well, my friends and I were board one day having pretty much played out all the fighting games and WWF Warzone and decided to give it a try and after the initial cutsceenes which my friends were nice enough to read to me, we were hooked. After that day I Did everything I could to figure out and memorize all the menus so I could do fights in 7, it got to the point where when my friends would leave at night, I would have them buy 99 tents, have them stick me on an island on the world map, and I would go to town leveling our characters, their materia, and limit breaks. After that game, I've been pretty much obsessed wit rpgs of all kinds, but I definitely have to say that mainstream beats all other, or at least mainstream to the point of development on a console by a company and have either good storyline or voice acting. I now at this point in my life not only played and beaten ff7 multiple times, but 9, 10, and on final fantasy 11 I have I believe 6 level 99 jobs with my main and favorite job being blue mage. I also played 12, but me and my friend never beat it but it was still fun, and the combat was real time which is fun, and doing quickenings were also quite fun.
What I'm looking forward too the most, honestly, is when the graphics portion of this game gets released, because I will be playing this game with my friends who love rpgs and we will be all able to enjoy the game equally. I hope you guys enjoy my story as I don't post on here very much although I watch topics like these with great interest.

Joseph, I didn't think to say this until now, but I'd like to say this on behalf of the community: As anxious as we all are about the game's release, please enjoy your Christmas. You and the team deserve it. So on behalf of the entire community, please wish the team, and we wish you, a Merry ⠠⠡⠗⠊⠌⠍⠁⠎⠲

Liam, could you share that also with aliens? So it doesn't be limited only to the scope of human wish you a good luck with the stream.
Ok, honestly, I never mind being blind, and I'm pretty happy in my life. But the only thing that actually frustrates me in my blindness is (games). Yeah games, gaming is certainly on the top of my what entertains me in life. I was growing up seeing my brother and the comunity play various types of  impressive games, and was wishing I could play them and unfortunately never managed to do so thanks to my blindness. The only thing that sticks me to playstation and similar things of consoles are fighting games, which I almost have had enough of. The first RPG I've played (or kinda played) is Dark Cloud, which I've loved so much. I was watching my brother playing it and somehow was trying to play it but failed. Also I've tried playing Digimon World Data Squad on ps2 but heck, totally inaccessible, and I couldn't let my brother play it since he doesn't love turn based combat. I was always a fan of RPG's, and also horror and adventure games but playing such things for me was nothing but a dream. But seeing devs make audio games that are close to the quality we all know of those mainstream games is something that I do really appreciate as a blind gamer. So that's why I'm always a supporter of devs who make valuable games for us, and always a formidable opponent to games piracy and those who crack games. I've never seen an audio game has the quality of AHC before, so thanks guys, and I very much look forward to playing it.

I always loved the Lufia and Lunar games. Now those would be fun in audio.

I do love when people refer to me by my last name. So refreshing.

I have to agree with Honk. Granted I've never had sight so my experience with mainstream games has come about through other people as much as myself, but I too always felt rather disappointed when I'd pick up an audio game. To be fair we have made some major strides and AHC could hopefully be another. As for streams or LP's I'd like to see SilverMoon AKA JennyK do one. I do thoroughly enjoy Liam's though seeing as his sense of humor tends to be pretty similar to mine. I just watched his Manamon LP again all the way through and would laugh anytime he'd imitate a Manamon's battle or death cry because I do that a lot myself.

It's in the off topic room. The topic is 195 the globe interviews Joseph Bein or something along those lines. It's on the first page so it shouldn't be hard to find. The link is in there.

It's definitely interesting.

Anytime, Joseph. Also, I did read the slightly updated description on your site and I found it to be very, very informative and exciting.

it's actually quite informativ

Well, five more days folks. In the meantime hope all who celebrate it have a good Christmas, Winter Solstice or what have you.
