    Hi Emily, first time watcher here! Just wanted to namedrop my friend ippers who is the artist that drew the last three prints you featured! 😎
    I'm also super hopeful that we continue to get bigger pushes for Falcom representation at AX. I was also disappointed to not see any Trails merch in artist alley, which is why I've committed to making some myself soon 😤

    Very cool pick ups, you seemed pretty excited with the experience, I'm very introverted myself as well but it's fun going to cons and seeing so many people that enjoy the same things that you do, sometimes it feels like you are the only one person that likes something

    • @orbalology
      @orbalology  Месяц назад +5

      Yeah it was a bit surreal to see all those Falcom related panels fill up. You can find certain fandom groups on the internet but sometimes it doesn't always feel real that others like the niche things you like until you go to something in person :)

    Falcom NIS keeps me interested in gaming these days. I want to keep supporting them as a developer because their games keep me hooked and always have great experiences that keep me wanting more. They are definitely one of the developers that stand out to me because of the special touch and quality of their games and unique stories they provide

    Being introverted and overwhelmed by people was my experience at Pokemon GoFest last year at nyc.
    Went again this year on that July 4th weekend and it was alot more smoother. We just avoided downtown/times square. Spent majority of that weekend in central park where 9 out 10 people were fellow nerds 🤓
    Edit: at the part where you're showing off your art goodies and everything so pretty and well done 😍

    Hello, Emily 😊 Glad to see you having fun at Anime Expo. In my country it was held regularly but in much smaller scale. We got cosplay, merch (mostly keychain 😅) and game tournament.
    Since we're on this topic, can I ask you something, Emily? 🙂 How can you enjoy anime (and game) with different art styles? For example, we all know you like Trails/Y's series, but then I see you also like One Piece series which has very different art style. The reason I ask is because there's new games coming (Fairy Tail 2, Farmagia, also One Piece Odyssey for Switch) and I'm not sure whether or not I can enjoy it.
    Thank you for sharing this video, Emily. And I'm looking forward for your travel vlog in Asia 🏞 Have fun

Really happy you had fun and your BEstelle cosplay came through and looked fantastic, wish I could've seen it in person. Con plague definitely sucks, I've suffered from my fair share many times. Haven't been to a con is such a long time, you're making me want to fix that.

    Sounds like a lot of fun! that Nia and Melia bag is very cute.😀
    Never been to a convention like that, always wanted to try something like EGX or Gamescom though - just feel like I will end up spending all my time queueing to play a couple of games (particularly as Japanese developers rarely come to Europe, too many languages) but I guess you never know until you try.
    Oh, and very selfish request from me so no worries if not, I am visiting California (around the San Jose/San Francisco area) on work business soon and wondered if there are any good games stores you would recommend. Not sure if you are familiar with that area (turns out California is quite big! Who knew?😂) but thought it was worth a shot.

It’s less rehearsed and scripted feeling and I like that! It’s refreshing in a world full of people trying to play it up on camera
