I'm Granblu, and this is my first ever website. I'm very new so this will be rather ameturish, but I hope to improve.
I'm a 19 year old media studies student who enjoys anime, retro games and playing the guitar. Anime I enjoy include JoJo's bizarre adventure, Berserk, Attack on titan, black lagoon and the fate series. Like I said, I'm really into retro games, my favourite series being final fantasy (hence the black mage icon). I'm also a big music fan and enjoy playing the guitar. I hope to improve on my skills, as well as my HTML skills.

This website is going to be focused mostly on my interest in JRPGs and retro games. While I will probably make some posts about anime and stuff, it probably won't be as much because I want this site to be my cosy little hub for talking about games. I also probably won't be journaling my guitar journey or any real life stuff.
So why am I so into JRPGs, especially retro ones?
Well you see, I could never play many games as a kid. I played lego games on the wii and COD with my brother, but apart from that my scope on the videogame world was very limited indeed. However, I've always loved fantasy. I read the hobbit countless times, for example, and I would lie awake at night, with the lights off and a torch on, sitting and perusing the maps, pretending I was one of the dwarves plannning my epic adeventure to take Erebor back from the dastardly Smaug. Then, the next day I would run around the fields and woods that surrounded my home and pretend I was an armour clad warrior, fighting evil and saving the kingdom from deadly forces. You can see, then, how RPGs would appeal to me.
I got a ps3 for my 15th Birthday. It was a generation old by that point, but we couldn't afford a ps4 or anything like that. One of the games I played on that birthday was skyrim, and it was amazing. I fell in love from the second I created my character. I began searching the internet for more RPGs, and discovered emulation. I downloaded a Gameboy advance emulator onto my phone, as well as ROMs for Final Fantasy dawn of souls (GBA remakes of the first 2 FF games) and Final Fantasy IV. I became obsessed. I ran around the starting areas of Final Fantasy 1, fighting goblins and wolves, and by the time I fought the first boss Garland, I was... just slightly overleveled. Anyway, I eventually got a second hand GBA of my own and bought all the games, including Final Fantasy VI, and thus the Final Fantasy (and JRPG) obsession began.
That story is why You'll see Final Fantasy 1 is somewhere in my top 5. I know it's not a particularly well loved game in the modern JRPG crowd, but I love it because it was able to bring me back to my childhood days of running around the woods pretending to be a knight. In fact, I loved that game and my made up characters so much I even wrote an after story for them. So that's how I became so obsessed with the final fantasy games, as well as JRpgs in general? Why retro games? I dunno, I just like them.
