Square Enix Cafes and Bar in Japan

Despite a bit of language difficulty with trying to get tickets, I was still able to get tickets so I could attend both the Eorzea Cafe and the Square Enix / Nier cafe, as well as the Square Enix Bar. All the places are easy to get to and all of them were a highly enjoyable experience that I will definitely visit again next time!

Final Fantasy XIV Eorzea Cafe

Every menu item at Eorzea is themed on towns and events in game and taste as good as they look!

Hamburger: The sauce and the hamburger blended together to make a highly delicious meal with the sides being a very nice addition.
Summoner Drink: Sweet without being overpowering but overall an excellent fruity taste. I will order the alcoholic version next visit.

Square Enix Bar

Square Enix Artnia offers a more classier style setup with a very professional and classy setup.

Potion: A sweet blend reminiscent of honey and well presented. Wasn't to my tastes but it's something that would go down well with any of the savoury dinner type meals at the bar.
Chocolate Parfait: A giant cocktail of cream, chocolate, and more sweet treats. The dark chocolate buster sword on top was a nice touch.

Square Enix Cafe (Nier event)

The menu at the SE cafe was changed to match the Nier event with all items directly referencing characters and elements from the game.

Hamburger Curry: A nice japanese curry with a difference! This had a hamburger with cheese on top and combined with the rice and sauce was a taste better then anything you could imagine. I wish this became a permanent item at the cafe.
Pod cake slices: Vanilla and lemon cake and dark chocolate with cream.  Both delicious, well presented and was a nice way to end the meal.

Persona 5 Cafe and Merch Store In Japan

Image
While in Japan I had the chance to visit two of the five Persona 5 cafes as well as the limited time merchandise store as well.  I was able to make two visits to the Osaka cafe branch and one visit to the Ikebukuro cafe branch.  The merch store is located in Ikebukuro and was only 5 minute walk directly west from the cafe. Persona 5 Cafe All items are presented neatly, while some specific menu items have an object that directly references the game. Here are some items I personally enjoyed from the cafes. Food Leblanc Curry: Just the right amount of spiciness, with a nice amount of meat and not an over the top amount of curry sauce. Blended together to make a nice fusion of ingredients with some small cut wedges on top to add an extra nice touch. Velvet Twincake: One slice was in the style of a vanilla/lemon meringue while the other was a chocolate cake with a crunchy but fruity base. Great way to finish off the meal. Velvet room creampuffs and jelly: The crea

Parappa Cafe and Merch store

Image
A short distance from the hotel I was staying at in Tokyo, is the massive Tokyo Skytree Tower. Nestled within the area is a surprisingly big area full of shops, cafes and all kinds of stores. There was also a 20th Anniversary Parappa the Rapper cafe and merch store being run as well. I was able to check out both to enjoy a nice lunch and pick up some cool merchandise too.   Nicely presented Parappa themed menu items which taste as good as they looked. Parappa Sandwich: While you may think it's just a simple sandwich it actually was amazing. The chicken was done very well and the vegetables with it amounted to one of the best sandwiches I ever had. Sunny Funny Egg Muffin: Nicely cooked egg with a great amount of yolk with some extra toppings including ham slices cut into flower petals and a side of fries to  PJ Peanut Butter and Chocolate: A nice sundae style dessert with a good mixture of peanut and chocolate with a cornflake base at the bottom of the cup.

Tokyo Xanadu Thoughts and Opinions - Vita version with PS4 notes to come later.

Image
While Falcom are a more niche team then most other JRPG developers, they still manage to make some all-round amazing games that are enjoyable. Recently their titles, both new ones and older ones, are slowly coming out in english more and more. After a two years wait, Tokyo Xanadu, a recent title they developed, was released on the PS Vita in English. The PS4 version is to be released later in the year. This review will focus on the Vita version, but once the PS4 version releases and I have finished all the new content, I will add an extra section down the bottom that will give my opinions and thoughts on the changes, additions and overall package of the PS4 edition. I am very much looking forward to it!   This game might share some similarities with Persona but also tries to be its own thing and does it very well. Tokyo Xanadu starts off interesting straight of the bat, as within the first five minutes of the game the protagonist finishes his work for the day and gets
