Fred Plays Final Fantasy VII Part One

[ariad]

These entries will be essentially be love letters to one of the most perfect games of all time. (Watch as a third of the sentences begin with "I love".) I'm actually at Gongaga already, but with the rate at which I have been gushing to friends and Tumblr and TextEdit files, I figured I should actually collect my ~FEELINGS!!!~ somewhere. This entry

I highly recommend that you do try it because it's really brilliantly done and uses a lot of interesting narrative techniques very effectively. So, if you're into that sort of thing. But yes, I try to avoid the fandom as much as possible ever since I found a fansite several years back dedicated entirely to hating on the female character of FF7

I don't even knowwww. They included more minor female characters, too, and were insulting the way they looked and things like that. Argh, that kind of fan activity makes me so sad

SERIOUSLY

It's okay. I cry while playing video games all the time. :| I think I got a bit teary when Sora found Riku, but I was bawling when Axel died. I was really bad at the first KH. I don't think I ever used magic. >____> I only played it the one time when I was 11 years old and never finished it, and then I lost the game. So I can't compare much. OTL But I liked the drive forms in KH2, and I know the camera was less annoying. I think the worlds got more linear, though, which is unfortunate because part of the fun of having a Disney crossover game is that you get to run around all these places. I hope Dream Drop Distance will allow more exploration because I really want to run around 15th century Paris a la The Hunchback of Notre Dame
