Welcome to Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, colloquially known as Fatal Frame 4! Zero: Tsukihami no Kamen is the fourth game in the popular Fatal Frame horror video game series, but this title has the unfortunate distinction of being the only one so far that never made it outside of Japan. It's a drat shame, too, because of all of the entries in the series so far, I think this one has the best story. Thankfully, fans released an English translation for FF4 back when the game was new, and if you had a homebrewed Wii console, you could play the entire game from beginning to end without needing to know any Japanese. The second I heard that this was happening nearly 13 years ago, I imported a copy of the game, because Fatal Frame is easily my favorite horror series. Amy and I began a playthrough of Mask of the Lunar Eclipse a while back, but we ended up losing our save file, and we never finished it. Not only are we approaching the perfect time of the year for some spooky fun, but this is a personal thing for me, since I hate leaving games unfinished. Join us as we finally finish what we started, and with an updated English patch, to boot! As far as spoilers go, it doesn't really matter for us, since we've both played through the game more than once already, but still tag them as spoilers for everyone else's sake. Thanks in advance! We'll also be streaming our playthrough before it gets put up on YouTube in parts, just like we did with Road 96. Our aim is to stream on Monday evenings, ~7:30 p.m. Central U.S. Time. As always, our Twitch channel can be found right here. We'd love to see you! (I'm aiming to upload episodes to YouTube on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm posting this thread early to link people to the stream, in case they want to watch live.)

Hey, everyone, no stream tonight, unfortunately. We're having major construction done at home and we don't have running water right now, so we're bailing on the place until we can pee again. We'll be back again next week!

Part 7 is up now! There were a few places where I got legitimately startled during this session.

I guess these ghosts want you to power-up your charge speed given how much they move around.
|
# ? Oct 27, 2021 17:53 |
|
Yeah, it certainly looks like it. I forgot how much they like to hide in the walls in this game.

Part 8 is up now! Everyone wanted more detective action, right? Also, I am immediately scared at the start of this episode.

What you don't like moving around a dark set of corridors at 0.25x speed?

I mean, it's not my favorite thing.

Some games are just a lot more fun to talk about than they are to actually play. See YIIK: A Postmodern RPG

Ha, welp. That's too bad, it looked like an interesting game. I'll have to find the LPs, though, they sound interesting.

Part 14 is up now, ending our spooky journey across Rogetsu Island and through Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. A huge thank you to everyone who stuck with us to the very end, and on a personal level, I'm super happy that we finished this game, so that I don't have to look at an unfinished playlist from the past anymore. Amy and I will be back, as usual, with another exciting game to run through. Take care, everyone!
