News

Lamest headline ever.

Anyway, three new art packages make their debut on the site today. We have two from Narratorway, both featuring Palom and Porom from FF4, and a layout from current queen of the Fanart Hall of Fame, A-Chan, featuring Faris from FFV. I will be adding all of these pieces to the main fanart section just as soon as I can. About half are already up.

People have asked for a more clear-cut definition of the rules here at CoN for quite a while. We finally have them fully outlined at http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/forums/rules.php for your review.

These rules are really just a written form of the common-sense regulations the moderators of the CoN forums and the ops of CoNChat have been using for a very long time.

If for some reason we find you in violation of one of these rules in the forums, we will do our best to educate rather than simply prosecute. If there is anything we can do to make your stay better, please let us know.

To fill out the news staff, we're adding two new members to the CoN staff as of right... now. No... wait for it... now.

Coming into the site as new news editors are Super Saiya-Jin Cloud and CypherEX. SSJC is a forum regular and a chat constant, and inextricably linked to our own CoNArtist, Hikaroo. CypherEX has extensive experience with web sites and is the lucky bastard engaged to be married to our Elena99.

In any event, both of these gents will be available to start posting gaming news as of this moment, and we'll all look for good things to come from them. Thanks, guys!

Corda just brought to us a little bit of fun new media from Fierce Legends' upcoming FF VI: Forgtten Story game. This stuff is so new, that his own site doesn't even have it up yet.

This is an MP3 being used in the group's first Flash promotional video, out soon.

fffsintro.mp3 (just under one MB)

We've also got an unfinished MIDI piece that will be used in the actual game. Corda says it will be used "when two of the main characters are debating the power and temptation magic can offer."

Corda suggests that you all try to find the throwbacks to the original FF6 musical score in these pieces.

Finally, a proviso: CoN's forte is not hosting music. If the file is broken for you, kindly let us know so we can host it elsewhere.

I just finished adding, probably at the cost of my job (^_^), eleven new pieces of fanart. They are all from FF4, covering the following sections. I've bolded the ones that create brand-new fanart sections.

Yes, it's true - if you just shelled out $70 for a GBA, plus another whatever for an Afterburner, and then took your GBA apart to install it, et cetera, you shafted yourself. Sorry.

The GBA will soon be accompanied by a backlit, foldable version that will cost $99 and play all existing GBA games. No longer will you need to suffer through a dark screen, or the worry that accompanies performing major surgery to install a light. Now you can get it straight from Nintendo.

The unit is shaped much like the original Game Boy, only with a hinge right in the center. This allows the unit to fold into a shape three inches square and only an inch thick. At a premium of only $30 over the original GBA, I see the new GBA SP overrunning sales of the original within three months.
