YES. MORE EEEEE.

Apr 10, 2012 00:10

So, uh yeah. ¬¬;; Today I caved, got out the charger so that I could play while it was plugged in. It started because the light started flashing JUST BEFORE a bossfight, and yeah, fuck no. And then I just. Moaaaaaar. ¬¬;; Soooo I played... I dunno. At LEAST 9 hours actual gameplay today, I'm not exactly sure what time was on the clock was when I started. It's just over 26 hours right now, though. I'm on the second-last of the obviously there worlds (and massively under-levelled, but NEED MOAR; I really should've done this on easy mode, and done proud when I wasn't so GIMME STORY NOOOOW, but, well. You know.), so um. Probably finish tomorrow or Wednesday. Not definitely tomorrow because JOB INTERVIEWS, so I'm not going to play before they're BOTH done, because that way lies fuckups.

Also I managed to freeze my 3DS somehow today. /o\ Magic powers, activate. *siiigh* At least I'd saved not long before, and it didn't happen again in the same spot!

But from now on: SPOILERS. And then yes, of course, confrontation with Crew. Who summons a giant praying-mantis-esque monster, ha, I knew it was bossfight next.

And won when into the bonus time. Ffff, almost had to redo again. GDI Riku.

...wow, this movie must be pretty bad. But ahahahaha, Crew kicked programmer guy in the nuts. |D And Girl is threatening, and the guy falls down and the kid goes home leavng programmer dude behind, and the programmer dade stops crew from stopping him by... absorbing him? Or something? IDEK.

!!! BACK TO Axel=Lea (I dunno if that's how they're gonna define him, but it fits with the naming scheme), and he's talking to Lexaeus=Aeleus and Zexion=Ienzo in the bit outside the basement lab with the apprentice!Xehanort picture; those two are looking at the books and papers; Axel=Lea has been looking for Saïx=Isa and Xigbar=Braig, I think; probably mostly Saïx. Lexaeus=Aeleus says they're not outside! Axel=Lea figures they must have got thrown off to another world...? XD And Zexion=Ienzo starts giving him a lecture on why that's unlikely; when someone who's had their heart stolen gets brought back, they come back to the same place they lost it; if that's not possible they go to Traverse Town.

Axel=Lea's pretty much yeah yeah yeah whatever. So basically it's weird they're not here, right?
That's right.
So basically they might not have come back?
Yes, tha-
ANYWAY, I'm gonna go look.
Why?
'Cause I always have to do the shitty jobs. *smirk*
^ paraphrase, but only 'cause I can't be bothered with stopping it quick enough every line to do a proper translation.

Next world: Prankster's Paradise. Has the Monstro theme from - oh, it is Monstro. Riku goes ! oh I'm back here. And then the bonus times runs out, noooot a surprise; you only get 30 seconds.

Sora, however, comes out to an actual carnival! Huh.

!! It's Jiminy! Talking about Gepetto, and stuff; apparently the carnival is Gepetto's dream come true? And he's worried that if he'd been there to help Pinnochio more, that he would have got something ~even better~, not that we can't guess what, heh. !!! It's not OUR Jiminy! And he doesn't know Sora.

SORA IS VERY CONFUSED.

Yen Sid flashback, saying how time is different in the sleeping worlds, because, you know, sleeping. And that you might meet people you've met before, but they're just dreams? Ah, dreamselves? Something like that.

So Sora remembers that, so figures that's what's happened to Jiminiy. Anyway, this place... eats kids? Or something.

But he's heard about Sora from Pinocchio; who's apparently heard about him from... a guy in a black coat. Oh dear. And then he's rescued from a cage by what looks like a fairy, but the text says she's a goddess. Hmm.

Sora, of course, says he'll help out with finding Pinochio, before he gets... 'turned into a ロバ (roba), which might be robber? But Iono, it's a bit confusing.

Back to Riku, and he pretty much goes OH HEY WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE, and I think sees it as an opportunity to right his uh. Past mistakes, shall we say. Jiminy's there too, and Riku is Pretty Surprised when he says he'll come along too!

Monstro's stomach: MUCH LESS A MAZE this time! \o/ I still get turned about a bit in it in KH, though I mostly have it down through trial and repetition.

...and black coat guy just lets Pinnochio go, this is awfully - HOLY SHIT BLACK COAT GUY IS RIKU. Oh, it's his ~dark part~, oh dear. And then he's all angstastic about how he fell into the dark and copies of his darkness kept coming up - Ansem SoD, REPLICAAAA~ They actually referenced the Replica again, I am SO HAPPY, I thought they were just dropping him entirely REPLICA <3<3<3 and himself.
Pinnochio goes: Don't you have a Jiminy?
And Riku's just like... :) Sora~ <3

CoM chronicle get!

Boss fight (or miniboss? seems pretty quick for a final boss) imminent, but I'm out of time. Sora again!

They find Pinochio, but he has... they look like bilby ears, and a tail. And the it's. Uh. Pretty much a cage fight. WITHOUT your helper monsters. D:

High jump get! ...and it's baby Xemnas? and Xemnas again! Standing next to each other, so you can uh. Really see how the little one could grow up into the big one, just with different hairstyles.

And oh, Xemnas is all 'it's interesting that even a doll can have a heart', and Sora's just. THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM NOBODIES. Is it, Sora? Is it really?
And then Xemnas is just. Don't forget you're like us too. Sora: ????? Me: ! Is he talking about Roxas? Or about Ven? What about Xion...... ahahaha, yeah, it's kinda true.

Chronicle get: KHII! I wonder if that's all of them; there's been no mention made of Re:coded thus far.

Fairy-goddess appears! And the two NPCs have gone looking for Gepetto, and got eaten by Monstro. Sigh.

Back to Riku, and bossfight! Definitely has enough HP for a final boss... Same form, too.

Gepetto gets his son back, Riku angsts. Talking about how in reality when he'd been here he'd just left DI, but the black coated him obviously was a lot older! Coming back isn't complete, or something; more Yen Sid wisdom. Things that haven't woken from a dream?

AND HUH. KEYHOLE. That was it, Riku-side. What even.

Keyblade: オーシャンレイジ; Ocean Rage. The handle looks like Monstro, the bar a plume of water from hir blowhole, with a boat on the end.

And you can't progress on 'till you beat it Sora-end too, since it's the last of the three worlds. Good to know!

So back to Sora! ...apparently in this game you can breathe underwater, and it has normal gravity. I. Don't even.

Anyway, Jiminy and Pinochio running away from Monstro, and uh. Yeah, they get eaten. And then there's a boss monster attacking Monstro and - turning it to stone? So of course Sora has to fight it.

....and to finish it off you have to catch Monstro in a bubble, and use that to explode the boss. I DON'T EVEN. And then Monstro eats it. What even.

Sora ends up on a beach! And he realises that OH HEY. After this, the world fell into the dark, and then... well, it ended up like canon! |D

! DIFFERENT keyblade, this time! フェイスゲア Ferris Gear; looks, yes, like a Ferris Wheel.

Donald and Goofy are worrying about Sora; and then ! it's Maleficent's crow. It has... fuck. Minnie's crown, and a letter. Mickey tries to tell Donald and Goofy to wait, but they're very politely FUCK NO WE'RE COMING TOO about it. So those three go off to save the Queen. Yen Sid is very worried about Malefecent, and thinks perhaps Xehanort is behind it! :O!! Duh, Yen Sid. Duh.

And - oh. Back to Traverse Town, apparently.

Joshua's been waiting - doing his whole bored pose a couple of stories up; Sora says get dooooown, and Joshua - does. Says Sora is like Neku, too. Personally, can't really see it, uh.

...he wants Sora to help everyone win the game? Riku, too. Sora's very ! Riku~ |D And happy, even though they might not get to meet, 'cause they're always connected in their hearts. Oh, Sora. <3
Joshua says he's envious, Sora goes HEY YOU CAN DO IT TOO, given that he's a Sora, and Joshua says he's way overconfident etc but he doesn't dislike that.

And now Riku! Since I was almost done with Sora's time due to bossfight.

Joshua comes to meet him, again, and is 'yeah, you're faster at getting to the point then Sora'. And then they both smile fondly. Oh boys.

Joshua asks him the same thing, and then adds that something's strange about Traverse Town - when everyone'd met up, they'd all had different times on their hands. Bit of navel-gazing, then they conclude that there must be two Traverse Towns. Not just a world split in two, like they'd thought, but two distinct, yet identical, worlds. Huh!

....Roxas is suddenly in the character index? Huh? As is Axel and Maleficent's bird. Maleficent's bird I get, but. Oh dear.

Beat and Rhyme vs a monster and !!! THAT WAS PUCK PASS POWER! :D:D:D

...and then they have a Beat Family Argument. |D SO CUTE. Riku thinks so too! ...the monster is really confused. And then gets PISSED, not that that's a surprise.

And out of juice 'fore I could beat a miniboss FFFF. I really wish you got drop-locked in bosses.

And then it's Shiki and Neku , and ahahahaha, Sora stands into deflect an attack like a hero, but he's protecting NEKU, not Shiki! \o/

.....ahahahahahaha. So, Shiki introduces herself to Sora, and Sora tells her about how hard Neku was looking for her. NEKU FLAAAAIL. And Sora just doesn't get it. Oh Sora~ <3

Anyway, Joshua appears; they're going to corner the monster in Third District and kill it. Sora and Shiki run off, and Neku asks Joshua - are they really going to go home?
Joshua: :( If you give up, the world gives up, you know that, Neku.
Neku: You come too.
Joshua: !!!
Neku: We're friends, right? Let's go home together.
Joshua: You're so like Sora. Thanks.
WHICH ISN'T ACTUALLY AN ANSWER. At least this Joshua is kind of soft and sad, not a snarky bastardface like canon. I wonder how much of that's translation.

And okay, bossfight. Which takes place AFTER Riku's one, apparently. Huh. ...and instead of fighting the boss monster you fight three previous bosses that it summons. NOT AS HARD AS IT SOUNDS, heh. And then it runs away into a keyhole. HMM. So we're gonna be coming across it again, yes.

D'awwww. Neku's heart has grown, so he says he'll see Sora again in Shibuya, once he's found Riku. And Sora makes them do the hand-on-hand thing. And makes Joshua, too! :D Socute.

Keyblade get: トドメナックル Todomenakkuru; 'without stopping'... more or less.

Anyway, back to Riku, and it's the miniboss again - from start, yeah - and then Joshua shows up and tells him of the third district plan. Of course, Riku has to go ALL THE WAY AROUND, because his 1st-3rd district gate won't open, but you know.

And then Riku finds the boss and it runs the fuck away, and then there's BEAT BEING HIMSELF AND SO AWESOME AND ALSO HIS SDLJGLS:DKJ DON'T CALL THAT NAME POSE! IN 3D! I still like the sprite better, but! |D <3<3<3<3

...and keyhole? No boss? Wat.

BEAT WHY ARE YOU THE ADORABLEST. WHYYYY. <3<3<3<3<3

And back at Disney Castle, and Pete. Oh Pete. Why are you holding Minnie hostage? I suppose it's partially revenge, but oh, you fool. I hope you get a proper redemption plot, I have to say. You weren't a bad guy, just kinda broken and attention-seeking; your downward spiral is hard to watch. :(

Maleficent, on the other hand. Well. You're so good at what you do! And what she wants is a;sldj; THE RE:CODED WORLD. ALL OF IT. Oh, wow. You ARE good at what you do (Also: she heard about the 7 princesses etc from Xehanort, but it didn't go so well. So this time she's going to try and take over the world her own way. That takes guts. Lots of guts. Gotta respect that.)

HOLY SHIT! Malefecent goes to attack Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, because they are not that dumb, and you know who saves them? AXEL. YES REALLY. AXEL. And with that second of distraction Minnie holys the SHIT out of Pete.

Mickey says Thanks, Axel.
Axel=Lea says, No, my name is Lea. Got it memorised?

Chronicle get! Coded/Re:coded.

Two more worlds unlocked, and oh holy crap one looks like Atlantica. Shiit.

Anyway, slightly under the recommended level for the other, lower-levelled one, but I don't really want to wait. ¬¬;;

In a castle courtyard, and there's a... bear king? Riku: Is that Pete?
World name: Country of the Musketeers. AHA. ...I've also only seen this movie once, when I was little. So. Canon facts, not so much.

..there is a distinct comic-book theme to this world. Why is that, seriously?

Sora, and. Musketeer!Mickey, Donald, and Goofy? Uh. OH. I don't think I've seen this movie at ALL; I was getting it confused with Robin Hood. This'll be interesting!

Mickey is Mickey? Except from the past? And in a sleeping world? Sora is VERY CONFUSED. Like. SUPER CONFUSED. Luckily, bad guys! You don't need to think about them!

Aww, Donald and Goofy~ Sora is SO HAPPY TO SEE THEM, but also kind of crushed they're not his Donald and Goofy. Even so, he wants to stay with them a bit longer.

....oh god. Flashback, and. Yeah. Goofy's still 'the smart one'. OH DEAR.

T-REX BOSS!

Aww, Sora's struggling to call Mickey Mickey, not your majesty. |D

Back to Riku, and.... why a stage? Uh. And the dudes that made off with Minnie with Mickey-Donald-Goofy wooden cutouts (Riku: no matter where, those three are always together), and not'Pete Pete on a... ship? Theatre prop, obviously, but. And smashes the cutouts with a crate from on high. I. Whyyy? What's the POINT of that?

(Just checked the bestiary, and the T-Rex? A NORMAL MONSTER. Which means you can HAVE ONE OF YOUR VERY OWN d;algjdljk YESSSS. Also I want one of these lions!)

......Minnie is in a box. I mean, at least she's not dead, but uh. D: Also Riku uses 友人 for Mickey, not 友達! (Best friend, not friend.)

And after beating up the three black-clad guys, HIII BOSS MONSTER. Riku's worlds: so short, I think is the only conclusion I can make. =/

Minnie: so awesome, always. <3

Keyblade get: All For One. (It's got a floret on the end.)

Anyway, wow, the battle level for the next one is 36, and Riku is... 31. Um. Maybe some levelling is in order.

But back to Sora! (He's only level 27, oh dear.)

Boss fight, against all three of the black-clad guys.

Win, save the princess, three guys are up again, so Goofy... grabs Mickey, jumps out the window, uses a tree below as a slingshot, smashes into the three guys, and sends them flying out the opposite window. |D;;;;

And then back at the castle, the princess is kidnapped again (I hope this is movie-canon, if only because as bad as that is, it would be worse if it was a modern plot, because seriously? Haven't we learned yet?) And this Donald is apparently a coward, and runs away. :/

Anyway, Sora gets knocked out because reasons, and it looks like Mickey's been kidnapped too? And Donald and Goofy have come back because worried. Sora puts Donald's last fears to rest due to Squishy Heroic Optimism! |D

Miniboss: whole bunch of elephants! |D

Bossfight! And oooh, that box falling from above was the trap. And... Riku turning the wheel at the end of his boss fight... made the box disappear. THAT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE OH WAIT NO IT DOESN'T. Oo;; What even.

Also Sora's reaction: THAT WAS RIKU! RIKU SAVED US! That's not even a paraphrase, though he didn't use ALLCAPS. Sora. That is not logic. At alllll. I mean yes, you're right, but that's hardly the logical conclusion there. Oh puppy.

Boss is the three black-clad guys again. And Pete! Yay Pete.

a;djgk;ajsjkg AXEL=LEA AT YEN SID'S PLACE. MAKING SOME KIND OF PLAN. Didn't say what it was, fuckers, but Donald opposes it, anyway. Yen Sid's super worried about Xehanort coming back; not a surprise, if he thinks aaaaaaaall the OXIII members have. (Does that mean apprentice!Xehanort? Or Terra and old!Xehanort? Or what. So confusing.) Anyway, Axel seems to be working with them, omg. I DON'T EVEN. This is like the most ridiculous awesome fanfic ever EXCEPT IT'S CANON.

Fuckit, I'm under-levelled, but NEXT WORLD GO.

Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey, on the rock? Is this-?

Holy shit, I think it is. Sora gets knocked out (AGAIN? SERIOUSLY? This is what, the third time?), and back at Yen Sid's tower, where Mickey is conducting with his fingertips, wreathed in black magic; two music books are just behind him, also magic-wreathed.

Sora goes !!! they must be hurting him, and attacks one, which given his experiences, NOT AN UNREASONABLE RESPONSE. Rebounds completely, and Mickey speaks in his head! Asks him whose 弟子 (apprentice; this is the same word used for Terra-Ven-Aqua, if you're curious) he is.
Sora: 弟子? SO CONFUSED.
Annnnyway, Sora goes HEY HOW CAN I SAVE YOU?
And Mickey goes YOU NEED THE POWER OF MUSIC
And Sora goes I WILL GO GET IT (omg I can save Mickey, which also: totally reasonable response! |D)

World name: Symphony of Sorcery.

(And I just got the character profiles for the Three Musketeers world, and. TWO THOUSAND AND FOUR!? What the fuck! I though it would've been like. An obscure 1950-70s thing! D: D: D: TOO MUCH KIDNAPPING. >E Granted, it's a book adaptation, but uh. Iiiii'm guessing they took huuuuuuuge liberties anyway, given it's Disney, so uh. =/)

THIS WORLD IS SO FUCKING COOL. All attack sounds are orchestra sounds, and you're on a cloud, and there's PEGASUS and DRAGON enemies which I am TOTALLY MAKING WHEN I GET ENOUGH STUFF and a;lsdjg;lk |D |D!!!

Back to Riku, and hey, you get a prize if you get an A rank dive! Cool. (NO DON'T ASK HOW IDEK.)

And there's water flowing down from the top of the tower. FFFF I really want to rewatch Fantasia, now. Not that we've ever owned a copy, but. :x

Anyway, conversation with Mickey is... pretty much the same, uh. Yeah. Except water eeeeeeverywhere.

...Riku's level is the forest. It's. And the MUSIC. ;gsjdk;ladl This is very possibly the BEST WORLD EVER OH MY FUCKING GOD.
