Okay, so yesterday I finally bought FFXIII. Having no free money caused me to have to postpone buying it (the lack of enthusiasm on my part didn't help either), so when I got some money for Easter, I decided to just buy it already because I already had five dollars down for the pre-order, and wanted to just get it over with. I mean, I needed to buy it eventually, might as well get it done.
So far, I am not impressed. I'm only on the beginning of Chapter Four, though, so it may get better. The battle system is more fun than FFXII (I HATED their battle system and that stupid license board), but I really don't like any of the characters except for Snow. I know I'll warm up to Lightning later (I hope), Sahz (or Chocobro) is pretty all right and I guess I like him okay (he's got a tiny Chocobo, what's not to like?), but Vanille and Hope are annoying as all hell. I would be able to stand Vanille if I didn't hate her freaking voice so much. And she has to be the freaking narrator!! WHY?!?!?!?!?! And Hope, I understand you're upset, and all, but really.
Again, I know, it's still early in the game, but usually at this point I'm really into a Final Fantasy game (well, except for XII, where at this point I was starting to just get sad). Instead, I've only been playing for about an hour at a time, and the whole time I'm playing I'm wishing it were better. And, though the battle system is somewhat fun, and I like how you level up (ala sphere-grid type thing), I want real turn-base back. Not just controlling one person and having the others help out. And I want to be able to freaking control who is in my party!!
Again, maybe it'll get better, but right now I'm regretting dropping sixty bucks for this game when I could have used it for so many other things. Final Fantasy, why must you make me cry? I just hope Verses will be made of awesome. Nomura has never let me down. Yet. Though he did the character designs for XIII, he has control of Verses, so Verses has gotta be better. Right? RIGHT?!
Crap, this just reminds me that I still need to buy the Kingdom Hearts DS game, which I could have, and probably should have, done. ;______; But yay for three new Kingdom Hearts games (hopefully none of which are cellphone games, because, really), one of which will be KHIII. A game to really look forward to!! Finally, news on that. I'm also looking forward to the PSP game (I get dyslexic with the names of the DS and PSP games... Birth By Sleep is PSP right?), which I'll have to, somehow, get the money to buy. Both that and the DS game, finally. Maybe tax return money? But I should be worrying about a summer job right now, when school lets out.
And I'm thinking about going back to school and getting my Masters in either Creative Writing or Literature. What is wrong with me? I hate school!! I don't want that stress again, but if I don't go now, I don't know if I'll ever be able to again. And I do eventually want to get my Masters Degree... so... I don't know. I'll decide later.
Other things in my life right now? Gekiranger and Ranma 1/2. :3 Make for happy.
