Hello everyone

Well good news, I'm finally over my flu! It took 2 weeks to almost get over it,butI still have a cough.Other than that though, I'm good! Not that my condition is blogging-big news anyway..

Well fellas, the time is finally here. I promised that I'd play this game...months ago, and well now I am carrying it out. I'm playing Final Fantasy IX! Muaha. :P Nah, but I'm glad I'm finally able to get to it.

So the first thing I noticed was the music, specificallywhen walking through Alexandria. "Yupp, that's Mr. Nobuo". I love it. What I really liked about this game is how they threw me into the story. The whole first 3 hours were full of so much creativity, I never would have guessed the game would start off with performing an epic play in front of the whole darn city. Another thing I love about this game is how incredibly vivid and detailed the world is, eventhrough the small things. I'm mainly talking about Lindblum, and how every house, room and person is different. I think that the world is very well designed.

But unfortunately, I cannot say the same thing about the characters. I don't think I'm a fan of the character designs this time around. To me, the designs seem to take away the real-ness of the world and remind me that it's not. Having a believable cast of characters goes a long way in my book, andit's a factorFFIX apparently lacks in .... So far.

Saying this, you might come to believe that I'm not a fan of the quirky nature the game expresses. But in my own mind I'm really liking it. This oddball environment is actually a refreshing sway away from all the melodramatic/serious -qualities one may find in the other Final Fantasy's. Either way I think this game is just what the series needed at the time, and it's a game I'm really looking forward to get further into.

So, I gotta say thanks to all of you who have seriously recommended this Final Fantasy to me, and for supporting the game despite all of the yellow say-so's.

And how have you guy's been? Thanks for reading and I appreciate all the comments.

Best regards,
