With fairly little to say, at the moment. Of note (or not so much, maybe?) are several things, which I may or may not detail later on–I commit, at this point, to nothing, save long sentences punctuated by an unsightly, if rather amusing, amount of commas.<\/p>\n
I finished Final Fantasy X-2, aka Yuna Raider, a couple of nights ago. Actually, I can safely say it’s not actually Yuna Raider, as I attempted to play Tomb Raider 3 soon after and could not stomach the controls for more than 2.73 seconds. (Yes, I know that comparison is completely retarded.) Anyway, I was rather disappointed to only receive the Mascot dressphere 65 hours into the game, as I would have loved to play through the entire game dressed as a moogle, a Tonberry, and a Cait Sith, using a chocobo, a Cactrot (I refuse to call them Cactuars), and a PuPu (a what?!) as weapons, respectively. I will admit to abusing the Speed Bracer\/Cat Nip Gunner trick, though. Man, that’s a beautiful thing, much like the Master Tonberry -> Massive AP trick in Final Fantasy X.<\/p>\n
Anyway<\/em>, I really enjoyed FFX-2, though not nearly as much as FFX or FF7.<\/p>\n Speaking of FF7, I recently discovered a program called StepMania, a Dance Dance Revolution clone for the PC (and Mac, I guess). I got so into it that I ordered a Playstation controller -> USB adapter to hook up my dance pads to my computer to play. (This really is leading to FF7, I promise.) So I started getting way better at playing DDR on the keyboard than on my feet, especially because my friend Adam has some Cobalt Fluxes and I don’t. I do, however, have a new receiver that does DTS-ES and Dolby Digital EX decoding, if only I had that sixth speaker to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n So back to FF7. Because I got that Playstation\/USB adapter, I decided to download a Playstation emulator last night and try to play some of my games on it. I popped in Chocobo Racing, which features Chocobos and Moogles as does FF7<\/em>, and was dismayed by how much better it looks on my GeForce4 than on my actual Playstation. Now every time I play a PSOne game on my new 27″ TV that my beautiful wife let me buy to play video games on I will be reminded of something… I forget what, exactly, because as I ramble my train of thought goes bye-bye rather quickly.<\/p>\n Did I mention I got a new TV? Yeah, my wife is so nice–she even tried to talk me into buying a bigger one than I did. I know that no one will actually believe it, but it happened, I swear.<\/p>\n Oh yes, I remember why I actually started writing this in the first place. I was looking at some Final Fantasy artwork over at the RPGamer<\/a> when I came across the same moogle that graces this site. I was looking at images of other moogles and I noticed that my moogle is missing the puffy ball thing on his head. I can’t believe I didn’t notice that before, and I call myself a Final Fantasy fan.<\/p>\n I guess one of these days I’ll need to play Final Fantasies 1-3 and see what all the fuss was about back then. All I know was FF4 got me hooked.<\/p>\n
