This summer seems to have lasted forever. The heat has been relentless. Life seemed packed with pretty significant events and dates. They just keep on coming too, and I know I am ready for them. I know that within a few months it will be winter, and I will be clinging to the warmth of my love while we share our evenings. Sometimes I think about this and just smile, only to have the most cynical part of me think on just how hot next summer is gonna be.
Due to our Chandler neighbors having secure networks, the closest thing I have to an internet connection is the slow-ass linksys network that likes to shit out all the time. Since most my enjoyment on the net requires fast browsing, I have limited my online self lately. Typing shit in semagic doesn't require much though, so I am gonna try to journal it up every day.
I've been enjoying the world of Ivalice in FFXII in my downtime. When I first played the game through, I told myself I'd never want to play it again because it was such an investment but I am hooked. This time around, having experience from the first play through, the game is incredibly easy. Makes me wish there was a difficulty option. Mandy looked at me and said "none of these enemies seem very hard" and I just told her "It's because I'm so good." So true. I think this is half because the fact that a character can be anything you want them to be. The 6 heroes of the story can essentially all be built to fufill the same role. It makes me envious of Japan and their "International Version" of the game that replaced the normal license board with the option of having class-specific licenses for each character. So once you picked that class, your license board only had abilities relating to that job. I think that really is what makes for a challenging Final Fantasy.
Also kinda saddens me that I don't think Square will ever re-explore Ivalice. It's collection of games have probably come full circle with FFTA2. I guess I can still dream of a next-gen successor to FFT though.
That's all really.
