Just got FFXII for my birthday.  Really fun, though I'm not a FF fanboy (believe me, I'd rather have had Twilight Princess, or Yggdra Union, Valkyrie Profile 2, or Okami, or others, but TP and YU aren't released yet, and FFXII is the one I got for my birthday (for some reason, my parents have this preference for FF more than other, even less-magic filled, games).

Still, it's undoubtedly a great game, and I'm having fun.  I kind of miss the good ol' days, with turn-based battles, but I've gotten used to the new battles (but I really miss the old victory fanfare!!!).

The music is really great, even though it's mostly composed by a different guy than Nobue.  However, this is kind of good, as the new dude is at far less liberty to change the music in any significant way, so much of the music is reorchestrated music from the old games (I haven't heard the victory fanfare yet though!).  Where Nobue might have done music more like FFX (which was good, but I liked the kind of stirring music from the old games), in FFXII, you've got the old prelude music for the intro, followed by the main theme of FF, on the main menu (neither of which was present in FFX, to my sadness).

I'm working through it, it's great fun.

BTW, I've also been playing FF:CC with some friends.  Never played it before, but it's really fun.  I'm set to go over one's house tomorrow.

Also, I'm now level 20, with like 900 or so posts.

This has been your update on my gaming life (the only gaming life worth mentioning in my blog.

P.S.  BTW, did I mention my birthday was Tuesday?  (Nov. 7th).  I got FFXII (well, duh, if you've been reading).

Unfortunately, I've got to put my birthday money towards my Christmas present, a Nintendo Wii.
