I picked up Yuzumo Design's 'Love Fantasy Zone 2019' book a few months back. It's packed with Fantasy Zone related images, interviews with creators, details on all the games in the series and information on almost anything that's ever been associated with my favourite gaming franchise. It's a lovely addition to my Fantasy Zone related collection, but as all the text is in Japanese, Google translate will get heavy usage in order for me to absorb all the important details and info!
With a focus on the 3 main titles in the series, you might be wondering where the page is for my personal favourite entry, M2's Fantasy Zone II remake. Well, I wanted to capture in game footage to showcase gameplay, high level tech, boss strategies and the games 3 main endings as part of a deep dive. Unfortunately, with the game stranded on the PS2 and 3DS, this makes things slightly more complicated; all my previous footage for the other titles was taken from the Switch, where the first game and Super Fantasy Zone are available. The PS2 is the only real viable option here, so I've picked up some equipment, that will allow me to record footage; a HDMI converter for the PS2 and a HDMI video capture card.
My Fantasy Zone setup consists of a JP PS2 running the Fantasy Zone collection, hooked up to a 9" BVM via RGB/Scary BNC adapter cables.
I now just need to find some time to hook everything up and capture the footage.
