Puyo Puyo

Happeh nuw yeer evrubuddeh, here's something neat I just found :


The Drama CD that came with the Puyo Chronicle Special Edition ripped for your listening pleasure.

Your guess is as good as mine on what's going on there, but I am curious, especially with Strange Klug being involved, despite him not even appearing in Chronicle.
 
I've tended to try and guess from both voice acting and visuals. Or at least visuals.

I have no visuals here. Still, nice of someone to rip it, so hopefully someone will subtitle this.
 
I brought mention to it on my Tumblr, but here is a bit more about Puyo Puyo The Medal Edition:



The other arcade game that I make a reference to is the Pachislot;


Not gonna lie I have grown an odd fascination with these obscure 15th Anni. based arcade games, they are just very unique and largely forgotten relics of the Fever era with some interesting spins on Puyo. Not to mention Medal Edition has dozens of exclusive cutscenes (appearently Sig thought Carbuncle is a bug) and the Pachislot is notable for the far more dynamic then usual presentation.
 
Exclusive content? And even less of a chance for people over here to experience it...

But it's neat regardless, and it's always nice to see these. That animated Amitie, too...
 
It quite a shame, I'd actually really love to try these out for myself, but even if I somehow ended up in Japan at any point of my life, I honestly doubt that any arcades still have one of these around nowadays.

Ah well, I'm at least glad that videos like these exist so we can at least see them in full and heck, know that they exist to begin with.
 
Another Japanese-only thing that'd be difficult to experience as a foreigner but would like to are those Puyo Quest-themed cafes with the Puyo themed food and decor.

I'm not sure how great the food would be but it'd be cool to go to.
 
Looking at this again, it's kind of weird to see that the blurb makes it seem as if Puyo Puyo is a familiar returning franchise...
