Let's talk about TWEWY and FFTA2. I bought those games Wednesday night and I want to talk about them.

TWEWY- I was initially impressed, but it's worn off a bit. I've played it quite a bit, and the combat has grown a bit stale. It seems that I just mash left or right while slashing my enemies wildly. And this is with the difficulty cranked all the way up. I'm controlling my partner manually and I'm always set to level 1.

I dunno. It's cool, but not as cool as I first thought it was.

FFTA2- I've played this for about 3 hours. I have one major complaint- Judges. Those ****ing Judges.

Let me tell you about Judges. In the world of Ivalice, there are men who enforce the law. They are extremely powerful. They can teleport to any location at will.

You know what they do with this power?

They troll.

I'm not even joking. They use their power to do nothing but piss you off.

Okay, so I've encountered a group of bandits. They've seized a highway and they demand toll. So, we're gonna fight. A Judge comes in. And you know what he does?

He tells me not to use fire.

What the ****? Why is he making pointless rules? There are bandits he could be arresting, and instead he's going to tell me what I can and can't do while taking them down myself?

And some of these rules are just ****ing stupid.

I was doing a thing once, and he sets the rule that I can't use ranged attacks. Well, sure, whatever, I can do that. Anyway, I start attacking, and I land a critical hit that sends my enemy flying back a space.

I fail the mission.

What the **** is that about? I can't help it if I land critical hits. And it counts as a ranged attack if I knock my enemy back?

And the rules don't apply to your enemies.

I was doing a tournament thing, and he makes it so I can't use MP. Well, ****, now I can't use magic. And who am I fighting? A TEAM OF ****ING MAGES. So they're setting my ass on fire, but I'm not allowed too return the favor or else I'll be penalized in some way. I'm not even sure what he'll do if I break the law most of the time. I failed that mission earlier, but that was some weird test set up by a Judge, so I think it's different.

Anyway, Judges are bull****. I have no idea who thought it would be a good idea to put them in the game and I have no idea why he wasn't killed by those around him.

I swear, the laws weren't so bad in the first FFTA.

Whatever.
