Daniel Alba

Hello everyone, so good to see you! I'm a Graphic Designer and video producer. I'm mainly with GVG on YouTube, and do a lot of freelance work for streamers, content creators, developers and more. I'm also happy to take on commissions! For more info: evernight.carrd.co

Something I don't see almost anyone talking about is Navi's screen time. She used to go hiding in your hat often, but now she's present in nearly every shot. Hope she'll feel like a character in the story and not just be the "go here" guide. Also love how she has a unique dance to each ocarina song.

Managed to get a pass, but my cousin didn’t… man we were talking about getting the game together at the SF store since it was announced. Why does it have to be so difficult…

My usual backdrop with all of my Fire Emblem games got a little too hazardous as they kept tumbling over and getting dents, so it’s been rearranged. Still in the process of putting things in place but at least the boxes won’t suffer more

I need to find the most insignificant feature in Ocarina of Time and claim the remake is a failure without it, so I can make more people on the twitter site angry

You can claim this gold skulltula token without a boomerang because of a strangely-coded wall that lets you climb it. If I CAN’T do this in the remake then I’m sorry but it’s a failed remake and Nintendo should feel ashamed

Sonic the Hedgehog: Fortune's Weave

It’s been real challenging to get into consistent streaming lately, but I’ll definitely be there for the Ocarina of Time remake. We’ll make the whole playthrough happen; I’ll figure out a schedule soon!

I have to update my website and the pinned post with the reel of work I’ve done recently… I also need to remember where I saved every example I want to highlight… oh no

Had a great time talking Tales with those who are just as passionate about it as I am! Thanks so much for having me on~ 👏

Had a lovely discussion with @lanaruse.bsky.social about working and designing for Zeldathon! We did the impossible and kept it (mostly) civilized 🥳

For this Side Quest, I got to design the logo for Picori Festival! Zeldathon is streaming all weekend with all donations going to St. Jude, so please check us out when you can! www.twitch.tv/zeldathon

It’s just him but Fire Emblem

And there it is, the Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave Expansion Pass, including the four cut stories of the other lords. We’re never going to finish this game, all.

My god, she finally has legs.

2 Important things: Years later I realized that the main theme in Tales of Eternia's melody here sounds like the Jurassic Park theme. And don't let people tell you an English dub is bad when we get absolute treasures like this in 2026.

The 1989 Soundtrack discussion is coming later today but you should absolutely watch Daniel's review of Tales of Eternia Remastered before that! Do it!!

As is tradition, I’ve taken a look into and reviewed Tales of Eternia Remastered, the latest and most interesting title they’ve ported yet. Talking twice as long as I should for a review is another tradition, but it feels warranted for our first truly retro Tales game youtu.be/o7eCJZPZU7Q?...

Just watched this and it’s so wholesome and sweet. This is why I watch GVG, such good-natured men who are such a positive influence in a sometimes toxic gaming community, and still being so when they are respectfully critical. Keep up the great work @daniel.gvg.io and @gvg.io as a whole #gvg #gaming

When the body wants to play Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave but the heart wants to play Kingdom Hearts 2 on Switch 2 but the mind is thinking about Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter but Tales of Eternia Remastered releases next week but--

Probably the silliest thing I’ve redeemed Platinum points for so far

These were codes I dreamed of as a kid to get all the AX machines since they are the hardest things I ever unlocked in a game. I brute forced myself by the time I did the GX video, but it’s awesome more people can use everyone now 👏

It's been fun to do thumbnails for this series as I try to squish characters together and practice some color theory. You can check all four of these years on the channel now!

Leda from Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and Primrose from Octopath Traveler. They are, indeed, the same picture.

I’ve now completed both Leda and Dietrich’s Part 1s. Checked and I’ve spent… almost 90 hours with this game so far. Oh… oh my…

Very thankful to have been recently gifted the special edition for Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Talking about how it influenced the modern presentation/quality of the series in games like Three Houses and Fortune’s Weave is something I have noted as a future video idea, someday

I don’t know what the wider Castlevania audience thinks of the game so far, but the Belmont’s Curse demo looks and feels awesome. It just makes me want to jump back into the collections

There’s a LOT of RPGs coming in the next year. And to better help you plan your schedule to maybe actually play them, @daniel.gvg.io and I are here to talk about each in turn. Which are on your radar? youtu.be/ZRe9v2f2XkI?...

Some thumbnails made in the month of September: Please appreciate my masterful doodle of Link~

Defending Breath of the Wild’s music, in 2026? I talk about how the audio design is perfectly done, and also compare it to how Ocarina of Time isn’t too different in some ways. youtu.be/sTO7lz_L_Ng?...

Uh… DieTrich? You feeling ok man?

With Fortune’s Weave, there’s now about 280 Fire Emblem characters that have a canonical birthday and I still don’t share one with any of them 😔

Been enjoying editing this video lately. It's nice to break out and be a little more artistic with something shorter, and not committing to my somewhat-usual 40-50 minutes. Breath of the Wild isn't the only soundtrack I talk about in this one either.

Going Live with some friends soon for Mario Party Jamboree, including @lanaruse.bsky.social at www.twitch.tv/phyreserpent !

“You shouldn’t send a Pegasus knight to the frontlines” Yeah tell that to Alexandra with a Levin Sword. Wish this captured the crit that happened right before this!

Currently editing a video right now Do people care about this opinion anymore, or...

We recruited the best girl 💪 Immediately did the first paralogue in Leda’s path and Alexandra put in the WORK

You can catch nearly the whole crew having long discussions on GVG today 👀 Derrick and Jon talk Top 10 Soundtracks of 1986, and @brandon.gvg.io and @steve.gvg.io talking Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave impressions with me right here! youtu.be/qh0RJUFJ5cY?...

9 Games that turned me into the problem I am

Every now and then I check who Fire Emblem Shadows has added next, but this time, uhh… Can we address the Black Knight in the room?

Happy to be on again talking news and Fortune's Weave! Thanks for having me!

Ah yes, it wouldn’t be Fire Emblem if we weren’t missing the 99% odds of hitting

With the release of Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave, various fruits and vegetables everywhere have been celebrating proper representation of their kind

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY JUST CASUALLY ADDED AIKA AS A *SOCIAL LINK* AND USED THE P4 ANIMATION DESIGN

I've never gone from 0 to 100 back down to 0 so quickly before. I thought there was going to be an Ocarina of Time Remake demo near me but it's just demos of other Zelda games lol

There are a lot of Fire Emblem games that never came overseas. Some did, in a way, but most are still exclusive to Japan. I was building up to this one for quite a while, so I hope you check it out when you take a break from Fortune’s Weave~ youtu.be/GUEwPEuWJzU?...

Be sure to safely fasten and secure your Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave before driving

Sometimes I have to pull out the translator so I have a basic idea of what I’m doing on menus for capturing footage, and it doesn’t always work as intended
