Premium Buster 16 - The Premium Job Shuffle Kerfuffle

December Update on Backlog Buster

I apologize for Novembers premium video being late. I don't have footage for the next Premium episode yet, so if its late again, I'll double up in January. The next episodes are probably going to be the FF1 Platinum and then a Solo Character. I might run that on NES just for kicks.

I'm not going to make any promises on content for December. It always devolves into a gong show once family starts coming around.

I'm going to prioritize videos I feel like I can get out quickly, beca...

Premium Buster 15 - Final Fantasy 5 Pixel Platinum

My Razer Ouroboros' left click died after 13 years of service. I had to scavenge a new mouse that apparently has a very loud scroll wheel. I tried to cut most of the clicks but thats the random sounds you'll hear. I'll adjust for this next time.

November Update

November Update: Unfortunately I'm behind, but thats nothing new.

I apologize for moving the goalposts. I thought it was better to finish up Final Fantasy 3 before moving on. I may return to FF3 at a later date but for now I'm content with the amount of content I've made for it.

The in-progress Bloodborne video was meant to be my wildcard for October, but it exploded out of scope. Now, it's designed to be a 2 parter. I definitely needed the change of pace from the Final Fantasy co...

Teaser - Bloodborne Video

This was just meant to be a fast playthrough of bloodborne for fun, but one single sentence made this go way out of scope. I'm still scripting the rest of the video, its just taking a long time. This'll be a two-parter. One for just the mandatory stuff, the next for all the optional content + DLC.

October Video Projects

September had ongoing family matters that look to finally be normalizing. Except my whole family currently has covid, myself included.

Getting a little repeat of 2020’s dark times, but don’t worry everyone's on the mend. 

Octobers video project goals will be in no particular order. I like the project list, but I dislike the rigidity of the queue.

- FFT Single Job Challenge (Monk)

August Video Update

Hello everyone, just a quick update on the next few videos:

1 - I'm going to cap off the Final Fantasy 5 Single Job Series with a (hopefully quick) video on the "What Ifs" of unlocking the jobs at the start of the game. This will just go over the major points and how I'd progress each job starting out to when their crystal unlocks (Redmage start to Water crystal, Ninja Start to Fire Crystal-1, etc). Some of these will be incredibly brief summaries, others will be a little bit longer (Ba...

Update Buster - February 9, 2025

Just a quick check in,

Next Episode is the start of the Squaresoft PS1 Series: Final Fantasy Tactics. I'll follow this up with 3 of the Final Fantasy Tactics Single Job Challenges to get the series established.

Tactics SJC's are pretty involved so I will be taking breaks from it to play other games. I've also completed what I assumed would be the "easiest jobs" so its all uphill from here.

I'm learning not to promise too much or whats next but theres never any shortage of ga...

Update Buster - Jan 17, 2024

Hello everyone,

I've been kind of off my rhythm with video production. The holidays interrupted my flow and it's been slow to get back on track. I also just have a sinking feeling that SMT: Digital Devil Saga is going to be a flop, which makes committing time to it feel pointless. I'm having a hard time scripting it.

I'm not sure how I'm going to proceed but I may just put it on haitus to try and get out of this rut and work on something else. It might just be a good idea to do F...

Update Buster - Jan 4, 2025

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to start the year off right, so I’ve been busy cleaning up and reorganizing my place. As usual, I have greatly underestimated how long it would take. I’m almost finished, and should finally be done on Sunday. Afterwards, I’ll be able to get back into a routine.

I’ve made a new End Card, which now includes both Patreon and Channel Members.. I have a few more graphics I want to make or adjust and then its back to video production.

I’ll do my ...

Temporary Pause On Premium Content

Hello Everyone,

I'm going to put a temporary pause on creating Premium Content to prioritize finishing out the Final Fantasy 5 Single Job Challenge Series. Theres 6 videos left to make and I'm going to push to get the series completed before the Holidays.

Once the series is finished I'll prioritize catching up on Premium Content. I'm not sure the Momodora 4 Platinum and Demon's Souls Miracles Only are good enough for Premium Content and might fit better as public videos. I will de...

SMT Digital Devil Saga Feedback

The FF5 Beastmaster video is getting close to finished, but I'm looking at getting some feedback on how to release the Digital Devil Saga Episodes moving forward.

I've got a couple of Premium episodes I can work through as I finish the FF5 videos, but after that it's going to be kind of light until I figure out something to do for Premium Content.

First bit of feedback is how to make the videos. I could break each game into 2 episodes (One for New Game, and One for New Game...

SMTDDS2: Final Dungeon Last Level Teleporter Map

I'm sure this will be useful to a very, very small minority of you.

 I made this for myself because I'm going through the final dungeon in Digital Devil Saga 2 for the like 12th time and I finally decided to stop randomly going into teleporters and make a map.

Name of location [redacted] just in case you ever want to play it, but believe me, you'll know when you get there.

Premium Content Ideas and Future Plans

Hello everyone, heres the tldr;

1. Request for Premium Content Ideas (to run as a series)

2. Future Plans for the Channel

In the past Backlog Buster has been pretty scattershot in terms of what I've been posting. I think the future is to run the channel in several sub-series and see them through to completion. Just like what has been happening with Final Fantasy 5 and the Single Job Challenges.

I think the path forward is to post videos in cyles of three (maybe 4). 2024-10-18 22:21:04 +0000 UTC View Post

Patreon Subscription Billing Change - No Need to Worry

Patreon is forcing a change to subscription based billing because of some Apple nonsense.

Allegedly I can delay this by a year, but I'm just going to convert now since they'll just force it on me in a year anyways. This should have no effect on you, or your current billing cycle, and will only impact new subscribers.

Just being transparent and making everyone aware.
Thank you for your continued support, Dark Souls SL1 is in the works.
