So. Last months I've spent going through a major Final Fantasy rebound. It all started on December 9, when they announced Laguna for Dissidia 012 [Duodecim]. I was like ASKDLFGSKTSOMGYAY for a whole week. And I realized that actually Laguna (and not Squall) is my most favourite character in Final Fantasy series. Well, along with Vivi =3
Then it got worse XD
Laguna's seiyuu was announced, and it being Hirata Hiroaki didn't help one bit. I whipped out my emulator and japanese FFVIII and replayed EVERY SCENE with Laguna in it (good thing I had saves). Cue lots of joyful tears. God, I literally heard every Laguna's line with Hirata's voice, and that was totally awesome.
Oh, and then came Jump Festa with its trailer. I DIED. Of sheer happiness. Just a couple of lines, but oh so much fangirl fuel. I rewatched it dozens of times. His dialogue with Squall and then him going Desperado in full CG at the end of the trailer... INFINITE FANGASM.
And as if THAT wasn't enough already, a gaming spree kicked in. So I first played FFV in Japanese, then FFVI in Japanese and now I'm playing FFIX. In Japanese, of course. And God, this is sooo nostalgic and awesome T^T Maybe I should even play FFVII in Japanese after that, hmmm.
BTW, I'm playing FFIX in Japanese for the sole purpose of finding out what the line "No cloud, no squall shall hinder us" looks like in original. Yep, that's the main reason. Seriously.
Anyways, I've been a fan of Final Fantasy series for ten years already, and I hope for at least three times more *v*
Ah, speaking of gaming. I've played Yume Nikki recently. Damn, that thing is chock full of weird and scary stuff. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. Seccom Masada-sensei is my favourite there. He's so sad and lonely, I just want to hug the poor fellow T_T I heard many players killed him repeatedly trying to trigger the crash-landing event, but I simply couldn't bring myself to stab this guy. He sheepishly backs away when you approach him with a knife, and I just went "Awww T^T" and gave it up. And apparently it's not necessary to kill him at all (at least I got the event anyway). So stop murdering him for nothing, you bastards! XD
