So, 6AM. I’ve defeated disc three of Final Fantasy IX.

I have not-so-coherent thoughts, but thoughts I wish to share nonetheless!

Spoilers, of course. Unless you don't care about the game/already played it, approach with caution.

( Scattered thoughts and run-on sentences about characters, ships, and complaints about gameplay because I am anal! )

I used to have such a problem with the Ethers as well. I was all "Why can't you buy them at the shop like you can in FF VII? BAAAAWWWWWW."

IT'S SO STUPID. If you are able to buy an ether, it's from the damn moogle with the gold armor. Otherwise, you have to steal from field monsters and cross your fingers that they have an ether. Not that I desperately need them, but it'd help to be able to buy them. Same with elixirs.

I serously want to find the person who came up with that idea and shake my finger in their face and make them feel ashamed of themselves. >:[

I think you can synthesise elixirs but it's like 50,000 gil or something like that (who on earth would want to spend that much just for an elixir?).

... 50,000 gil? Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, I forgot about that!! That's just not fair. Holy shit. D8

I like to think Gackt wrote all of Genesis' lines, which explains the shitty dialogue and obvious homolust Genesis has for Sephiroth. i 'm actually playing through the english Crisis Core now and I can't believe I prefer Gackts voice to the english VA. NOT FLAMBOYANT ENOUGH, NEEDS MORE CAMP

I always got a bit sad when you get to that graveyard in the mage village. I think the idea of them just stopping is kind of creepy as well.

Great... now you've made me want to play FFIX again.

I never watched the Japanese scenes on YouTube--except for Zack's death, which still makes me weepy--so I have no idea what Gackt's handle on Genesis sounds like! The fact that he sounds more flamboyant in Japanese doesn't surprise me at all. (Haha, homolust. That explains everything.)

Genesis is ... he's not horrible, but he's not a convincing villain, either, at least to me. He's too annoying for me to take serious, and I didn't really care whether or not Zack saved him. I really wish they had a different villain for the game, because to me that was one of the only downsides about Crisis Core. :/ Because in my mind, there's only room for one poetic-speaking flamboyant villain and that's Kuja, not Genesis, because he does it better.

The graveyard in the mage village is depressing. I also hate visiting the village after all of the black mages go with Kuja. :(

PLAY IT IF YOU HAVE IT. XD I found the game at a store in Ohio... it really shocked me that they were selling it!
