Another Patreon suggestion from J.N. Squire: Balta's lady, Kaena (fun fact: she stole her name from a character I deleted out of another unrelated book long, long ago, actually).

Hi! It’s been a while, huh? I know I said I had more in store for Demoban, but as you can probably guess, things ended up going a little dark instead in order to focus on a big project for work. But I didn’t want this blog to languish for too long because some of these discs I have lying around in the backlog are especially deserving of a wider release. So, here’s the first of two Christmas presents today in the form of another Dengeki PS2 disc!

What makes this one from early 2004 special is that it has another demo from Katamari Damacy! And not only that, as if the last Katamari demo I dumped didn’t spoil us enough with lost content, this one also features its own unique level that isn’t present in the final game and was custom built to show off the game! The opening sequence plays out much like that other demo, but as soon as the level loads, it becomes clear you’re playing in a completely different sandbox. And much like that other demo, if you take the time to hack the timer so you can roll up everything in the level, you’ll see some fun easter eggs that are otherwise nearly impossible to witness during normal gameplay.

That’s easily the biggest highlight of the disc, but some of the other things to be found on this disc are fun on their own merits such as the footage from the initial press conference where Final Fantasy XII was first revealed way back in 2003. For a full content breakdown, check out the list below!

Judgement

not the first time I try advanced shading but certainly the biggest effort I put into it.

Also, here’s Kaena’s new look! I’ve been going over her design a lot and I think that this is a big improvement and I’ll stick with this look for now.
