Little update on gaming...

Final Fantasy VIII is making a very valiant effort to become my second favorite FF game :D Poor FFXII might get bumped out of that spot only after being there for less than a month :P :lol: Last time I talked about the game I had just finished disc 2. Now I believe Im close to the end of disc 3 because Im just about ready to enter the Lunatic Pandora.

I love the part[spoiler] where you head off into space to find Ellone and help Rinoa. Wow that part was awesome. So emotional. I mean I knew Rinoa wasnt going to die but still. They did a very good job and if I wasnt so crazy about FF to know more things than I should about games I havent yet played, then I probably would have been panicing at that moment :lol: Also I liked the whole part on Ragnarok with Squall and Rinoa :D [/spoiler]

So I havent really had problems with battles and such but I have heard some of the final battles are pretty tough. I know I dont have some of the best magic junctioned at the moment (like Ultima, Meltdown, Meteor, ect.) Think Ill be ok or should I try to draw before going in? I cant seem to find the right place to get them from so I was just going to try with what I got... unless it would be insane to.

Been playing more Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume... Hmmm I dont know, I have conflicting emotions on this game. First impressions did not reflect the whole of the game. Now that Im a lot further in, the game feels unbalanced. I dont mind a challenge... but a challenge with no way to change your odds except to replay the mission over and over is a bit frustrating. Not to mention the fact that I have found out it is almost completely impossible to get the A ending the first time you play the game.... Doesnt that defeat the choice of whether to use the Destiny Plume or not? I basically have to use it if I want to even attempt to beat the game.

I believe that it all depends on the player as to whether you will truly like this game. Im not a fan of srpgs (Im starting to feel like a broken record saying this all the time :P ) and coming up with a strategy to use the terran and character abilities to (hopefully) overcome the clear disadvantage your characters have is not one of my strong points. Which in the end means I have to play missions multiple times, which I dont find particularly fun. I think anyone who really likes strategy will probably love this game... my opinion is that I wish the game was a lot more like VP: Lenneth.

Thats all for now!

PS. If you can tell me who says the words in my blog title, you get a plate full of cookies! :D
