Moving on…

I finally put off the inevitable and finished FF X. In all, FF X was a decent game. It had a good story with some good plot twist. Most of the characters are well developed. Throughout the game, they each go thru their personal emotional arc. Thank goodness, there was no goddamn chocobo breeding.

On the downside, FF X was relatively easy. It was very anti-climatic getting to the end. Often it was much harder getting to the boss, then fighting the boss. All the bosses have massive HPs in the hundred thousand range, but with haste and aeons’ overdrive that was easily whittled down. Yu Yevon took about five minutes with a party of Tidus, Auron, and Lulu hacking/casting to beat, and that was without the Break Damage Limit.

Anyhoo, I have moved on, or rather moved back, to Kingdom Hearts. I was never a really fan of Tetsuya Nomura’s design. His designs tend to be a bit on the gaudy side. Maybe I’m just a little old school in preferring function to design, but his designs for KH were great. It’s still stylish, but without the gaudiness. I should have KH done before my birthday. ^_~

On an unrelated note…

I told Ty of my plans for my birthday this year. I am going to blow some money and get a bunch of old games I wanted to play & have forgotten about; that and a PS1 memory card. I think Tom has taken my memory card with his Playstation when we split a couple of years ago. Ty still sees him around, but whatever friendship between him and us has more or less degenerated into animosity. There’s really no point stirring up crap for an $8 dollar memory card.

I have a handful of unplayed PS1 games that are sitting in my drawer for a good several years. Among them is FFVIII, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, and couple of other games that begging me to play them. Can’t wait. ^_~
