Further FF13 flailing
....NNNNGUH.
I am in many ways lacking in coherent words, except: Snow, you so woobie. (Also, your ribs are BROKEN. Stop trying to do VERBS. There. The boss knocked you into a pillar in a cutscene. Happy now?) <- Said boss keeps kicking my ass since I get distracted and let the party leader die. Ah, the balance between "does more damage at low HP" and "has to not die ever".
My storytelling kinks, let me show you them: secrets! Switching up the Standard Character Types! Rising tension that eventually explodes! WHUMPING. Female characters made of a)sex and b)kickass! MORE WHUMPING. Each character being different and having different desires, not just The Party Wants To Save The World! YET MORE WHUMPING.
... ... ...If he wants to avoid the hurt-comfort fic, Snow might want to start running now. Or sometime last week.
Also, they got the green right. In the...whatsisplace, the place Sazh and Vanille wander through killing giant tomato monsters. That green is the green of a spring or summer world after rain, when it's so painfully green it feels like you've never seen green before. I have never seen anything but nature get that green right. Maybe because of the general feeling that Reality is not in bright Crayola colors, even if this is manifestly false. Reality is not in fact in noir sepia. GUH. GREEN. (Weird things are important to me.)
I love this game and everyone in it (except those NPCs one loves to hate) to little bitty bits.
...And now I have to go to a wedding rather than play more. Stupid weddings.
