すずまりの日本語「ききみみ」ずきん

English below↓ 今日は、今プレイしているゲーム「Final Fantasy 6」の話をしたいと思います。

「Final Fantasy 」とは、日本のゲーム会社スクウェア・エニックスによって開発・販売されている、RPGのシリーズ作品のことです。

Final Fantasy 6のオリジナルは Nintendo のスーパーファミコンですが、リマスター版では、グラフィックや機能が追加・アップデートされています。

私が初めてFinal Fantasy 6をプレイしたのは、10代の頃でした。ドキドキ、ワクワクしながらやりました。とても思い出がある大好きなゲームです。

ところで、Final Fantasy という言葉は少し長いですね。そこで、日本のゲーマーは、Final Fantasy のことを「FF」と呼びます。Final の F と Fantasy の F を取って「FF（efu efu）」と言います。

「Final Fantasy」ではなく「FF」と言うと、ネイティブのゲーマーっぽく聞こえますよ！

Today, I would like to talk about the game I am currently playing, Final Fantasy 6.

Final Fantasy is a series of RPGs developed and marketed by the Japanese video game company Square Enix.

The original Final Fantasy 6 was released on SUPER Famicom, but the remastered version has updated graphics and features.

I first played Final Fantasy 6 when I was a teenager. I was sooo thrilled and excited to play it. It is my favorite game that holds a lot of memories for me.

By the way, the term Final Fantasy is a bit long. So, Japanese gamers call Final Fantasy "FF" (efuefu/えふえふ), taking the "F" out of Final and the "F" out of Fantasy.

It sounds more like a native gamer when you say "FF" instead of "Final Fantasy"!

Get ready for the four-day working week
Younger managers are much more open to the idea than their bosses and female leaders like it too. 

I will be discussing the four day working week from a UK prospective. Feel free to comment and let me know what you think about the four day week focusing on the benefits and negatives of the idea.
