Wow, so it seems I've fallen hard for Square-Enix's heavenly wares again. Not only am I totally engrossed in Final Fantasy XII again, but somehow it's hard for me to do that without getting all crazy about the whole series again. I'm buying Final Fantasy III for my DS as soon as the Christmas Moratorium is over, I'll be jumping for FFXII:Revenant Wings as soon as there's an open spot on the Now Playing list after that, then there's the other remakes...

Speaking of the remakes, that's how I know I'm a total Final Fantasy junkie. I have on my shelf the original SNES "Final Fantasy II" cartridge. It works, and everything. A few years back it got ported to the PlayStation as Final Fantasy Chronicles, and as soon as I heard that the port was based on the Japanese full version game and not the 'Easy Type' we got, I was all, "BOUGHT!" So now I have two versions of Final Fantasy IV. Now, I see the news that it's getting ported to the Nintendo DS with new 3D graphics, and Rosa looks like this now...

BOUGHT!! As soon as it comes out, that is. I don't know how I missed buying the GBA version, either, but I'll still have [at least] three versions of FFIV once it's all over. And I'll love all three [four] of them.

As an aside, one thing I could have done without is all the last names for everyone. "Rosa Farrell" isn't too bad, but "Cecil Harvey"? Harvey? Ugh. "Cecil the Dark Knight" (or, if you prefer, "Cecil the White Paladin") sounds bad-ass. "Cecil Harvey" sounds like some dude off of Comedy Central. Yuck. (But you know I'm totally buying it anyway.)
