FF ramblings

ria_oaksI happened to check Rpgamer.com a few minutes ago and noticed that FFIII:DS comes out today (I haven't really been keeping track...). I'm probably just being too over-emotional, but this day feels rather historic in the RPG world - the last Final Fantasy that wasn't released in the US is finally here. I checked, and it's been approximately 16.5 years since FFIII was released in Japan - well, better late than never, I guess. XD I mean sure, I played it years ago on a translated ROM and I won't be buying this version anytime soon (lack of a DS... and lack of time to play. woe.), but it's still cool to think that it's here. It's sort of a pity that the original version of the game will never make it here, most likely (how hard would it have been to include the orignal version in the new game, really...?), but the new version looks pretty spiffy. Hopefully I'll get to play it someday.
3 FF games in the past 2 weeks, 2 of which are new to the US (FFXII and FFIII:DS) and one of which only ever made it here in a mangled fashion (FFV Advance) - makes me miss the days when I could play all the time... I haven't really been into gaming as much the last few years, largely because of a. lack of time during school, b. other interests take up my free time, and c. i'm lazy., but I still get excited hearing about games and still want to play when I get the chance. I'm way behind on all the games I'm playing, but I still plan to ask for either FFXII or Disgaea 2 for Christmas (leaning towards the latter - FFXII will be easy enough to find for years to come, and it'll get cheap fairly quickly, whereas Disgaea 2 will start disappearing soon...). I am sorely tempted by FFXII, though - it's been getting fantastic reviews, and hell, it's FFXII! We've been waiting for this game for years, and it's finally here... and I really can't justify the time or money to get it. Part of me, too, is still a bit uncertain about it - but most of the reviews have said that the game is nothing like (and much better than) anything we've seen of it to this point, including the demo. I plan to give it a chance eventually, but can't do it yet.
And... I'm procrastinating. Back to my Farscape paper... it's due tomorrow at 9, so I need to get moving. Up to 5 pages, need about 12 - and I'm still blathering on about the context, haven't even gotten to analysing the series itself! Ehehehe. baaack to work.

Date: 2008-01-22 04:39 am (UTC)Is it bad that I'm constantly being distracted by the eye candy on this show? But damn, it's nice to see Alex back on game and not tripping out too bad. And working together with Michael! Fuck yes.

Date: 2008-01-22 04:46 am (UTC)Seriously, if I thought she were a better actor or a more interesting chracter, I think I'd like her more... I kinda want to like her, what with the whole evil villainess thing going on, but mostly she's annoying. she did hold up under torture longer than the boys, though, gotta give her some credit for that.

Date: 2008-01-22 04:55 am (UTC)Aw, Lincoln bought Whistler's girlfriend an Eiffel Tower souvenir.
Mahone gave Whistler water and rags to clean his wound with.
Michael is going to go through an emo phase, again. D:

Date: 2008-01-22 04:56 am (UTC)Aww. They need to get together, stat.
Helping to clean his wounds. It's like true love. OT3, here we come!
Poor Michael.

Date: 2008-01-22 04:45 am (UTC)Yes it's possible that I may have already started writing a fic vaguely like that. ;p (okay, it was actually a mid-s2 AU where Michael and Alex met up in Panama monthes later and had hot sex, but whatever).
Dont' say that. :( Don't die, Alex!!
