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.

Do you care about wrapping? Guys can't wrap. It's a biological deficiency. I can do it if you like tearing the shit open, but I promise it's gonna be ugly. >.>
Also, could I get my game and book back tomorrow?

Date: 2009-01-04 12:01 am (UTC)Lol, whatever, I don't really care I guess... also don't care if it looks like shit. ^^ Did you know there are now paper-wrapping places men can go to where they're wrap presents badly so their wives think they did it themselves? Hilarious.
Haha, forgot about those. -_- Yeah, sure thing.
Not sure my schedule re: tomorrow - depends a bit on the snow. But prob getting the 11:00 water taxi, so I'll be downtown by ~12. When/where do you want to meet? I'm gonna have lunch first, so we could just meet at the theatre round 12:30-1 or whatever then wander after, or... I dunno.

Date: 2009-01-04 12:05 am (UTC)Yeah, admittedly, I've used one of those places before. >.>
Yeah, the weather is supposed to get a lot worse tonight and tomorrow. I'll go to the theater and hopefully get there around 1. I'll keep in touch via cell phone. If by chance you don't end up going because of the weather or whatever, let me know as soon as possible.

Date: 2009-01-04 12:09 am (UTC)Yeah okay, will do. I'll prob be going so long as the taxi is running, just not sure if my mom's coming as well as she'd planned. But so long as I can go I will, even if she's not going in.

I could use a T-square right about now.
