In Which I Put Something In This Journal

[this_is_theway]

It goes LIKE SO. You comment here and ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider raping you into

XDD Well here's hoping it turns out okay, at least.

Oh, hmmmmm. That's an interesting story, actually, because I really did need to be sold on it. My first reaction when I heard Square was making a game with Disney - this is verbatim - was "No! Squaresoft has sold its soul! D:" I was picturing some kind of cutesy kiddie adventure game like a watered-down Final Fantasy with Disney shopkeepers or something, I dunno. It only got worse when I found out Sora would be going to various Disney worlds to battle the "Heartless" - it honestly sounded horrible and gimmicky and OH GOD, HEARTLESS? SERIOUSLY? WHAT ARE WE NOW, MOTHERFUCKING CARE BEARS? SQUARESOFT, WHYYYYYYYY.

Then the screenshots started breaking, and I kind of had to admit Yuffie and Cloud and "Leon" looked pretty cool, and I started figuring, okay. I'll probably get this game because I am a hooker for Square, but it will be ONLY for the FF characters. I can always return it if it turns out to be TERRIBLE.

I don't know when it happened, but I started just... getting more and more interested in the game. We were getting a gaming magazine in the mail around that time, and one of the preview CDs had some Kingdom Hearts features on it - I remember watching one, out of curiosity, and it was all interviews with Nomura and Yoko Shimomura about the concept and the design and the making and - I just remember thinking it was really, incredibly interesting then. In particular, I remember thinking what an appropriate and cool weapon the Keyblade was, because... see I have this random memory lodged in my brain of this old Disney game I used to see advertised when I was a kid and loved Disney, damned if I can find it, but it was about Mickey on a quest for seven silver keys, and I remember really wanting to play it. Anyway, because of that memory I have a really strong association between keys and Disney, so Sora's weapon being the Keyblade just seemed to fit, and that was one little thing that made me feel better about the whole idea. And there were clips of game footage and there was a preview movie set to the Hikari orchestral mix and I just. The animation was so clean and beautiful and faithful and the shots were so epic and awesome and the music and I just. I fell hard. That was the moment I knew, just knew I had to play this game and I would love it. Like it was getting close to Christmas and I couldn't wait that long, next time my dad and I went to Fry's Electronics I picked it out and we went in halfsies on it.

AND THUS BEGAN THE OBSESSION. I was in, mmm, junior or senior year of high school when KH1 came out. I am currently in my fourth year of college. FOR PERSPECTIVE.

...uh hmm. Who's your favorite oldschool FF character?

[get_sometail]

S-sob I so old. I remember when GIA announced KH and everybody was all "...omg I want kiddie!Kefka to show up" and we were all SHOCKED AND DISAPPOINTED WHEN THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

My favorite Oldschool FF character is Celes Chere. She's my favorite Final Fantasy character ever because I identify hard with her whole struggle of "well my cold as ice badass persona just crumbled, what the hell do I do now?" I get her where I don't get Terra. It's interesting to see how people fall on the Terra vs. Celes divide: I got angry at Terra for taking in orphans and refusing to fight, but I only liked Celes more for the suicide attempt. But then that's because maternal instinct is so incredibly foreign to me. Now that I'm older and wiser (and have played the new translation), I don't hate Terra anymore. But I still adore Celes for her downfall and for how she manages to pick herself back up...even though she's not wholly perfect about it.

And because a friend of mine suddenly thought this was a great idea and keeps mentioning it to me: what are your thoughts on Faris/Setzer crossover oh tee pee?

[adawningoath]

That reminds me, I need to get you on AIM or something. And huh, interesting - I always liked Celes more myself, but I could see where Terra was coming from with the orphans. I DON'T LIKE KIDS BUT PERHAPS MY MATERNAL INSTINCTS ARE HONED FROM A LIFETIME OF HAVING CATS

...o lol UH SEE hilariously for a while before KH2 stuff started breaking I was tossing a fanfic idea around in my head where Sora went to OLDSCHOOL FF WORLD and met VIVI AND ZIDANE and THOUGHT VIVI WAS A HEARTLESS and Zidane was STUNNED BY KEYBLADE! and they were part of the RESISTANCE and LOCKE WAS WORKING WITH THEM and somewhere involved in all this Faris and Setzer were SEXY RIVAL SKY PIRATES!!!1 so uh basically my thoughts are yes please

[this_is_theway]

I'm slightly better now?? I am cool with kids, and babies don't actually scare me anymore but hell if I'll take care of one.

I don't do AIM these days, but you can get me on gchat at boomtoday at gmail dot com. I've been staying off it the last few days or so but provided my connection isn't being too much of a pill I'll pop on tomorrow after work.

....Man that is so my vision of how an awesome FF crossover would go. Also baaawwww want Vivi in Camp baaawwww that thread where Zidane told Sora that he probably wouldn't get to meet Vivi because of his lifespan made me all wibbly. BAAWWW BAAAWW BAAAAWW
