About Julián Jorge Fernández Loyarte

Julián F.L. is a Video Game & Anime expert, historian & journalist with a lot of passion for these subjects and over 10 years of experience in writing about them.
He knows every single Pokémon by memory, and he even wrote a thesis about Video Game History when he graduated from college.

Favorite Anime

One Piece is my absolute favorite anime/manga series, since it features a colorful cast of complex characters, multiple unique and creative power systems, a gripping narrative and one of the most detailed worlds ever created in fiction. I'm a strong believer that the entire world will change the day One Piece reaches its conclusion.
I'm also a big fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, My Hero Academia, Fullmetal Alchemist and Bleach.

Favorite Games

Kingdom Hearts is my favorite gaming franchise, with Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix being my overall favorite video game.
This feels like a game
designed specifically for me: A deep and flashy combat system, excellent boss fights, an emotional storyline, colorful Disney worlds and a beautiful soundtrack. I've already replayed KH2FM over 10 times (and counting).
Some of my other favorite video game franchises include: Pokemon, Devil May Cry, Crash Bandicoot, The Legend of Zelda and Mario.

Favorite Console

The PlayStation 2 was king while I was growing up in Argentina, and it still is, considering it's the best-selling console of all time.
While it obviously was quite revolutionary for its time, the PS2's biggest selling point is its large collection of high-quality video games, like Kingdom Hearts 2, Devil May Cry 3, Resident Evil 4, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, and so much more. This console is the reason I love video games so much now.
The Nintendo DS, the Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5 are some of my other favorite video game consoles.
