FFX...stuff.

*groans* Course, now that I'm at the end of the game, I really don't feel like doing all the extra... stuff. Some of it looks very, _very_ annoying. I'm not sure if I'll ever bother to get and unlock all of the legendary weapons; some of the stuff you have to do is ridiculous (dodge 200 bolts of lighting in a row on the Thunder Plains? I could barely dodge one). And I've never bothered customizing weapons, given all the items you need for it that I have no clue how to get (probably fighting in the monster arena, but I dont' particularly have the patience to go to every since dungeon and collect every single fiend..); otoh, there are some awesome abilities - Encounter None, MP One, tons more... Enc None would be v. useful for certain side quests like, say, that stupid 200 bolts of lightning one...

Thing is, if I want a chance of surviving the final dungeon/bosses I probably _need_ to do some of this, or barring that spend hours levelling in the Omega Ruins to get all the strongest magics/abilities/more HP, etc... I used to like to do all this stuff, but these days I'm just too lazy to spend hours on idiotic side quests/mini games... *sigh* I might go level in Omega Ruins later and try to get everyone a lot more powerful, then I'm going to tackle the final dungeon. And I _might_ try to get some of the hidden Aeons, but several of those also require stupid mini-games... -_-

And I haven't even touched Blitzball... I know I need it for Wakka's overdrives and legendary weapon, but I've never gotten around to it. It'll probably be fun once I settle down to it, but I don't feel like it.. ;_; Nor do I feel like hunting Spira for team members.

Maybe I'll go search for the Jecht spheres later. More flashbacks can never be a bad thing. *ahem*

Or, you know, I could study. Hehe.

omg you mean that you're not going to get that one item that sits in your inventory and the only thing good about is is its old-FF-nostalgic description/! Burn in hel11!

*hits* Actually, don't think there are any of those... unless beating Omega Weapon gives you one, b/c I don't think it gives you any other rewards... might, though. Can't recall. But hey, I beat the Weapons and the FFV optional bosses back int eh day... long ago... *groan*

Oh god.. I hope you noticed my blatant sarcasm.

:D

*ahem*

Sarcasm meter:

1------|X|-10

I remember beating Omega Weapon in FFVIII. In case you don't remember, Omega Weapon could deal 9999 damage to all party members regardless of defense (unless you used those items that made you invincible for one round). All I got was a certificate that was accessed via menu. It had a big "CONGRATULATIONS" and a flashing red border.

Hmm... I don't remember if I beat it. *goes to check her game, now curious*

Hrmph. Looks like a didn't get it. Guess that gives me something to do if I ever get _real_ bored...

I give it a week. You'll do it the day before a test that you should have studied for. ;p

[identity profile] ria-oaks.livejournal.com 2004-01-28 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, probably will never do it, actually. Dont' care that much. ^^ The day before a test I should have studied for I'll be playing FFX.. ;P

..Aren't you beating the game like..tomorrow?

[identity profile] ria-oaks.livejournal.com 2004-01-28 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but despite what I said I'll probably do some of the extra stuff at least.. at very least, will get the extra aeons and fight Ultima/Omega Weapons, prob.

The Blitzball doesn't sound like fun to get into.. The Luca thing totally killed it for me. =|

[identity profile] ria-oaks.livejournal.com 2004-01-28 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't feel like playing it, either... I here it's really fun, but still. Otoh, I'd like to get the rest of Wakka's overdrives. Meh.

I hate Lulu's overdrive.. I can never do it right..

Me neither. At first I was using my old controller so I couldn't do it period, and even with teh right one it's really hard to rotate it properly. And Tidus's can be annoying to get exact, I find.
