Do Re Mi

Holy shit did this game destroy me. And I mean that in an emotional way. People will probably think this is hilarious but I was seriously in a catatonic state after completing this game for maybe... a week? I know I was depressed about it for at least 2 weeks.. I finished FFXV on Christmas so uhm.. I was in a sorry state that day. Thanks Tabata you sick bastard! I shall now remember you as the director that kills my dreams of a happy ending. Final Fantasy XV holds a special place in my heart, mostly because of how it's kind of symbolic for me. When I first saw previews of this game, I was just recently out of high school and starting college. When I finally got to play this, I had just graduated from nursing school after a long journey of figuring out what I really wanted to do with my life. Somehow I just happened to obtain this game merely a week after graduating. I'm so obsessed with FFXV! I've been playing it almost everyday ( after I got over my depressio...

I finally finished the game Lightning Returns recently and zomg, why does her face look so different?  I mean, she looks like she got plastic surgery. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not criticizing the game in its entirety.  This is solely about the change in Lightning's hair and facial design.  The game play of Lightning Returns has nothing to do with this. :) I didn't really notice her face change until I beat the game and watched the ending CG animation scene.  (pic above is from the opening CG scene) I was a bit disappointed that the animators weren't consistent in her facial design, especially when it was so beautiful to begin with. Here's some compare/contrast pics I found. This one is of the CG animation for FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and FFXIII Lightning Returns. And here's the cutscene animation.  It's a bit more difficult to tell the difference in the cutscene animation unless you look closely. The hair...

It's been a while.  WTF, I always seems to say this so I'm just gonna skip all that shit, lol.  We finally have everything back upstairs.  So what has been happening all this while?  Well, for one thing, the flooring guys finally finished the floor at the very end of August!  Now everything is officially moved back to their respective places. The crazy thing is, after all that $$$ spent on flooring, the washing machine broke down not long after the flooring was finished.   (o_O)  I suggested to Mom that the entire family should pitch in to buy the new washing machine.  It only makes sense as everyone in the family has their clothes washed.  Eventually we all did it that way which I thought was awesome because it really buffed off the edge of the cost that would have been to only our parents.  The new washing machine is a Samsung brand and it has these really cute electronic chimes the indicate certain functions such as different washi...

Somehow I always get some type of my brother's "hand-me-down" games, consoles or any other kind of electronic device to borrow.  Last time it was his PSP, then it was his LCD computer screen, now it's his Xbox360.  Since he so kindly let me borrow it, I thought I might as well use it and play FFXIII again.  I've played that game before but I had a lot of fun and since I have time now, I thought, why not do a replay with that one? I put two boxes below the xbox; I read somewhere online that it's bad to put it directly on the carpet.  Something about the carpet blocking and clogging the vents underneath. I ordered FFXIII online.  I was thinking about just ordering the PS3 version but my brother is using the PS3 for playing netflix and it's in the basement up high on a shelf in front of a giant treadmill; not a good location to play video games (-.-).  I was close to also ordering FFXIII-2 but I might try waiting that one out until my brother perha...

This game is so much fun! I can never get enough of Final Fantasy. My brother's awesomeness really shined through this time because he lent me his PSP! :DDDD So nowz I can play all the games I never got to, and of my first victims are FINAL FANTASY VII CRISIS CORE !!! And yess, lots of Final Fantasy bishie power ensues~! I only really like Zach tho. Zach Fair is Love . He's so cute and cool at the same time. I get tired of the emo Final Fantasy guys. Maybe that's why I like Tidus, Sora, and Ventus so much. They're all so happy. ( ^ _ ^ ) I don't think I'm halfway through this one yet so I still get to enjoy the suspense of the game. When I first started playing and saw the battle system, I thought I would be BORED out of my mind but it eventually sucked me in and now I'm addicted-! (o.O) The battle system's a lot like Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep (maybe I'll elaborate more in another post, too lazy right now). Really fun game,...

I can't believe it but I actually got the opportunity to play FFXIII~! I don't even have a PS3 or XBox but my bro was nice enough to let me borrow his and his friend had the game so he let me borrow that. Awesome points to both of them! I finished this game a while back, probably in June or July 2010. So sorry that I didn't make a post after that.. I guess the summer laziness got to me. xP The game, I must say was absolutely beautiful. The graphics, story, music, and everything was truly lovely and I really enjoyed playing it. The battle mode was also very quick and ran smoothly. A lot of people say this game is boring which, I would say is true to a certain extent. Although the story and everything about the game is gorgeous, it drags on for a long time and the plot is highly linear. When I say linear, I mean that there are no side quests and the story just plows straight ahead. There aren't that many supporting characters with backgrounds aside from the main...

I recently got this game from my bro and I LUV it!! With lots of hearts. It's turning out to be a lot better and much more rich story-wise compared to the Final Fantasy III on the DS. Guess what...? There's voice overs in this one too! *SqueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeL*!!!!! ^o^

I remember asking this question long ago on yahoo answers. So if any FFII DS players out there have this question, here is my answer: I had asked about being stuck in the Crystal Tower not being able to find this Xande guy. Anyway, I finally found out that you have to go into the door on the left wing of the tower to the north. When you get to this special doorway, you actually have a cutscene where you use the 'crystal's light' to open that passageway. Then you get into this passageway area and there's this treasure chest. When you walk downward from that treasure chest, there's actually an opening in the right side of the wall and you can walk that way. You can figure everything easily from there. Good luck! [Note:] You have to be well above level 50.. Maybe level 60 or 70 to beat the game smoothly. And once you beat Xande which in my opinion, was fairly easy at level 50, you'll have to keep continuing foward and won't be able to go back...
