SO I went to
hikaridonya's house today to hang out and take a break from stuff. We were both super exhausted, so we didn't do much but mooch, but she has bought an xbox 360 so I got to play Final Fantasy XIII on it. I told myself I'd only play the first 10 minutes or so.
...Three hours later I was still running through it, complaining that I had a splitting headache and I should stop but can't because it is too fucking pretty. I had to find a save point (which I wasn't originally going to do either) and make Donya take the controller away from me because I could've easily have played for HOURS.
My thoughts so far:
OMG SNOW STOP SAYING HERO.
OMG VANILLE STOP BEING SO FUCKING PERKY AND WALK LIKE A NORMAL PERSON
OMG IF YOU WERE AN ANIMAL, HOPE, YOU'D BE A HEDGEHOG WITH ALL THAT CURLING UP IN THE FACE OF DANGER YOU DO STOP BEING SO FUCKING EMO also he reminds me of roxas.
NO SERIOUSLY VANILLE, WHAT ACCENT IS THAT EVEN
LIGHTNING STOP BEING LIKE CLOUD IT'S ANNOYING. I like it when she punches the characters I don't like and rolls her eyes at them. She seems to share my annoyances.
WHY CAN'T I RUN AROUND WHEN I AM FIGHTING, YOU COULD IN FINAL FANTASY XII
SNOW WILL YOU STOP REFERRING TO YOUR CRYSTAL GF OKAY NOBODY CARES
Holy crap the details they did to this are stunning. HIS MOUTH IS MOVING WHEN IT'S IN PLAY MODE AND HE'S TALKING TO ME WHEN I WALK PAST, HOLY FUCK
So far, my favourite characters are Sazh and his Chocobo because he's a fucking legend, and that Blonde kid right at the beginning who was adorable and fighting with the resistance and... wearing goggles. I'll give you two guesses why he is my favourite. It's a shame he's not a playable character 8|
So in summary, I was shouting at the characters and complaining about the battle system, but about 2 hours in I got accustomed to it and was really enjoying it. I'm undoubtedly going back for more 8|b
