Journey to the West Media Website
Hey everyone! I have been working on this for a while now, and I hope that you all enjoy it. I've never met a website before so I hope that this is succifent for now. I'll still be working on it as this is a work-in-progress, but please be kind! Please enjoy the Journey to the West Media website!
Have you guys seen this??
I’m not sure if you have included it already, but there was a PS1 game based on JTTW called ‘Monkey Hero’ that came out in 1999
We do have that! But thank you for thinking about us for your suggestion!
This (and part 2) is a really good video explaining the differences between the adaptions of Journey to the West, how close they are to the original material and why some work and some ‘are ass’.
(also the 1996 version has ALL of them giving birth, and Pigsy doesn’t want to give up his baby?! I need to see this show)
You send people to space to save the literal entire world and you still don't trust them to dispense their own drugs
At the very beginning of the creation of the Journey to the West tales, the leading character was originally Tang Monk【唐僧｜táng sēng】. Originally, it was a story about a Buddhist monk attaining Buddhahood through a pilgrimage. Back then, Sun Wukong【孙悟空｜sūn wù kōng】was merely destined to become a Bodhisattva at the end of the journey. However, the story of Journey to the West【西游记｜xī yóu jì】is open to adaptation by anyone. Evidently, audiences grew far fonder of the monkey figure. Consequently, plotlines revolving around Sun Wukong kept expanding. Roughly four hundred years later, in the complete hundred-chapter printed edition of Journey to the West【西游记百回本｜xī yóu jì bǎi huí běn】, Sun Wukong was titled the Victorious Fighting Buddha【斗战胜佛｜dòu zhàn shèng fó】and turned into the core male protagonist of the novel.
Pathfinder (2009)
Date: August 2009 Platform: Tabletop Game Developer: Jason Bulmahn Publisher: Paizo Publishing Genre: Role Playing Franchises: Dungeons & Dragons / D&D Also known as: World Anvil / Tian Xia World Adaptation: Cameo
Summary:
Beginning in 2002, Paizo took over publishing Dragon and Dungeon magazines, which were about the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) role-playing game, under contract to the game's publishers Wizards of the Coast. Wizards of the Coast chose not to renew the contract in early 2007 and Paizo began publishing the Pathfinder periodical line as a replacement. In August 2007, Wizards of the Coast announced the pending release of the 4th edition of D&D (4e), which replaced version 3.5 (3.5e). Many of the staff at Paizo were concerned about the more restrictive Game System License under which the 4th edition was being released, compared to the earlier Open Game License (OGL). They had also not been provided with a copy of the 4e rules.

Forgotten Realms (1987)
Date: 1987 Platform: Tabletop Game Developer: Ed Greenwood Publisher: TSR, Inc. Genre: Fantasy / Role Playing Franchises: Dungeons & Dragons / D&D Also known as: Mad Monkey vs the Dragon Claw Adaptation: Inspiration
Summary:
Forgotten Realms is a fantasy world setting, described as a world of strange lands, dangerous creatures, and mighty deities, where magic and supernatural phenomena are very real. The premise is that, long ago, planet Earth and the world of the Forgotten Realms were more closely connected. As time passed, the inhabitants of Earth had mostly forgotten about the existence of that other world – hence the name Forgotten Realms. The original Forgotten Realms logo, which was used until 2000, had small runic letters that read "Herein lie the lost lands" as an allusion to the connection between the two worlds.

Does anyone know if Sun Wukong is in the game Fēizhōu Tanxiǎn II (1996) 非洲探险II?
Giantbomb's character list says that Sun Wukong is in the game Fēizhōu Tanxiǎn II but I cannot for the list of me find how or why he is in there. I've tried watching a let's play of the game but couldn't find anything.
If anyone knows if this is true, or maybe this was a mistake on Gaintbomb's part please let me know becaues I cannot find him at all in this game.

The empire consisted of three separate tribes: the Dai, the Shura (シュラ) (the ancestors of today's humanity) and the Gorma (the military tribe); which lived in harmony. However, one day, the Gorma Tribe decided to take over the Daos Empire and the world, beginning the war between the Gorma and Dai tribes. The war between the Gorma, led by the Gorma Triumvarate, and the Dai continued for 5,000 years until the Mythical Qi Beasts appeared to oppose the Gorma, whose qi[b] powers had increased to the point that they could turn themselves into monsters. Five Dai warriors' Qi-Powers had increased to the point where they could control the Mythical Qi Beasts. The war ended with the disappearance of both the Dai and Gorma tribes and the Shura scattered around the world. In the present day, the Gorma Tribe, one of the Daos' two missing branches, arose to take over the world. To counter them, Master Kaku assembled a team of five youths with high levels of qi, who became the Dairangers.

To help Negi confront Eva, Asuna agrees to become his temporary partner by performing a "Pactio", a kind of magical contract sealed with a kiss.
