The Future of Final Fantasy XV

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.

“Final Fantasy XV” has surprised us with a ton of news overnight. So hang onto your chocobos because here’s what’s coming for us.

For starters, FFXV is getting an anime produced by A-1 Pictures (the studio that crafted “Sword Art Online” and “Black Butler”) entitled: “Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV”. The five part series will run on Youtube for free; the first episode is already uploaded for our viewing pleasure. The episodes will chronicle events prior to the game’s release on September 30th, 2016 for the PS4 and Xbox One.

However, if you can’t wait until September 30th, feel free to download FFXV’s Platinum Demo for the same consoles. Available now, the demo will follow a young Noctis and will reward the player with an exclusive summon should they beat it.

For the cherry on the cake, FFXV is also getting a CGI movie. Entitled Kingsglaive Final Fantasy, the movie will premiere in November 2016 just two months after the game’s release. The movie will be a spin-off to the game and tell the story of King Regis (Noctis’ father) and the political events that lead to war consuming the kingdom of Lucis.

To make this film even better, actors from “Breaking Bad” and “Game of Thrones” will be cast. Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) will be playing the character Nyx, Lena Headey (“Game of Thrones”) will take on the role of Princess Luna, and Sean Bean (“Game of Thrones)” will play King Regis.

Doctor Who: Preparing for August

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.

It’s not August yet and already the Internet is buzzing with rumors about the new Doctor Who season. So far we have seen posters and received confirmation that 12, Clara, and Missy will return.  There will be no mid-series breaks and the season will run undisturbed, as it did last year.

We have also received information that the first episode of the new season will be entitled, The Magician’s Apprentice. I don’t know about you, but I’d love to see that episode focused around Houdini, a famous magician from the 20s. Houdini not only performed magic tricks, but performed daredevil stunts as well which contributed to his demise where he was chained in a straight jacket in a tank of water. I would love to see his death as a fixed point in time, something that the Doctor can’t fix, but Houdini wants him to.

It was reported not too long ago that Doctor Who was filming in Teide National Park in Tenerife which is a vast, volcanic landscape complete with a large landscape. Now Whovians, Peter Capaldi is our twelfth Doctor. Where have we seen him before in a volcanic like setting? If you said Pompeii then you and I share the same mind. It wasn’t specified as to what episode in particular they were filming, but I have a hunch it may have something to do with the Pompeii episode from the 10th Doctor’s run. However, they have also revealed an alien in this shooting which may or may not contradict and eliminate my theory, but one can only hope that this particular filming deals with Pompeii. There is also a rumor of possible filming in Spain.

On February 12th, a certain woman who directed the terrifying episode, Blink appeared again in the Whoverse. That’s right, Hettie Macdonald is back with a vengeance and ready to terrify us once more. She will be directing the second episode of season nine entitled The Witch’s Familiar. Perhaps more Weeping Angels? Or something new to terrify us and haunt our nightmares?

There will also be a two part episode, but all that is known about it is that it features Game of Thrones’  Paul Kaye and will be written by Being Human’s  Toby Whithouse. He has a creepy idea in mind for this particular episode, but what it is, no one is for certain. It’s been rumored for a while that Peter Jackson may direct an episode. However, no one has confirmed or denied anything in regard to that topic in a few years.

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Welcome everyone to a special Christmas Eve edition of The Magical Mystery Blog.

Every year, the classic story of Twas the Night Before Christmas is passed around from house to house and generation to generation. I’m sure most of you have heard this story at some point in your lives. As a special treat for Christmas, I've rewritten Twas the Night Before Christmas to include fandoms you all know and love.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the world
jokes and comments of many fandoms were hurled
of Adventure Time, Deadpool, The Hobbit, and others
that made fan boys and fan girls unite like sisters and brothers.

The fans were wide awake, watching Christmas specials in their beds
while visions of pairings and fan theories danced in their heads
and Whedon in his onesie and JK Rowling in her cap
they soon snuggled in for a quick power nap.

Out from the star filled night, arose quite a sound
that roused the neighbors, the fans, and everyone all around
from houses, eyes searched the land to find the commotion
that was as clear as glass but as loud as the ocean.  

The moon was as white as Jack Skellington’s face
transforming the fallen snow into a scene of beauty and grace
but from the corner of my eye something wonderful appeared:
a blue bulky police box with eight characters, flying like reindeer.

With a youthful driver so giddy and random,
I knew it had to be Fandy Claws: The bringer of fandoms.
Cracking his whip, he shouted, “Yippy kai yay!”
And shouted to his flyers, as their bells jingled all the way.

“On Loki and Xerneas, on Hannibal and Katniss,
on Sherlock and Marceline, on Harry and Daenerys!
Come on, come on, go faster! I know you can!
If you don’t, I’ll introduce you to Slender Man!”

The threat caused the flyers to climb into the sky
not wanting to meet the horror that’s made many cry
as they rose to the roof tops, people jumped into their beds
waiting for the sound of Fandy Claws’ to arrive over their heads.

My house was the first as a resounding crash hit the roof
“Damnit Loki! You hit this fan’s reindeer’s hoof,”
the driver shouted as he hustled to our chimney and jumped in,
slid down into our fire place and emerged with a grin.

He was dressed in pieces of characters’ clothes
from Sherlock’s scarf to his snowy Hobbit toes
on his back was a bag of holding full of fan adored things
like light up arc reactors and Green Lantern rings.

His eyes were glistening like Hannibal’s, his freckles were like cherries
his hair was like Merlin’s, his cheeks were quite merry
His ears were pointed, like the legendary archer Legolas
and just like David Tennant, he had a great ass.

House of Stark crests bound Batman’s cape to his lanky frame
a tattoo on his wrist showed he pledged to the Gryffindor name
he had a handsome fair skinned face and a bit of a beer belly
that hid beneath his brown coat and shook like jelly.

He seemed like a great guy as he ate one of my cookies
and I smiled like the first time I ever saw a Wookie
with a nod of his head and a charming grin
he assured me that this Christmas would be full of win.

He didn't make a sound and laid the presents under the tree
he then placed some gifts in the stockings, and turned to me;
smiling, he raised the Vulcan signal just inches from his face
and giving a nod, he rose up the chimney, and out of my place.

He leaped into his sleigh and cracked the whip once more
as the flyers took to the sky, in search of another house to explore
but I heard him exclaim in his Professor Xavier voice,
“MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! BE MERRY AND REJOICE!”


Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year to you too!
