So, once I got back home from school, my mom immediately told me that I should eat before the both of us went out to get Final Fantasy XII. I felt a tad irritated since I was really expecting to move out soon (and 'cause I'm a horribly impatient person), but I knew she was going to use the game against me. So I did. While I was eating, she then told me to shower. Irritation grew even more, and I showered. Halfway when I was drying my hair with a towel, my mom produced a bag out of nowhere (I was without my glasses, so I couldn't see that well), and I looked inside and found...
My mom had already gotten the game and the strategy guide.
And for a full fifteen seconds (yes, I counted), I was all, "... What?" And my mom was looking at me with this smile when she watched my reaction.
Afterwards, I quietly took the bag and felt instantly guilty for my behavior. What a way to kill a person's mood is by showing them with the thing they wanted most.
Then I had to massage my mom's neck since something was going on with it, but I had no complaints.
All in all...
I'm very grateful towards my mom. Sincerely.
^Collector's Edition and strategy guide~
^Back of the CE with a nice picture of Vayne and Larsa at the top and the contents.
^Inside the box. Extra disc, yo. Bonus DVD Features: Developer Interviews - History of Final Fantasy Featurettes - Art Gallery - U.S. And Japanese Trailers. Spiffy.
^Inside of the box, without the manual and discs. Mostly the main cast on the left, Larsa and Vayne on most of the left side, and the Judges on the top part of the left side.
I have to save my thoughts on what I really think on FF12, as I haven't gotten that really far into the game yet (I've just gotten past this Barheim place, I think). But, yeah, the games gives off the old FFTactics feel, which, of course, would be understandable, considering the guy who wrote the script of FF12 made the FFTactics one too. Yeah... Lots of politics goin' on.
Ashe is voiced by Kari Wahlgren~ The same person who voiced Shelke from Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII and Febronia from Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra. All the others I don't know, although, Vayne sounds somewhat familiar...
My mother is so awesome.
Also, HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!
