Game is still awesome.
Hey, remember when I used to make entries about things that weren't Final Fantasy?
... Yeah, me, neither.
So here we are in the Whitewood.
… Lightning says we can use the lights as guides to keep us moving in the right direction. She obviously has not seen the map of the area. NOT EXACTLY A LOT OF WRONG CHOICES TO BE MADE.
Knife on loan? Better keep it safe, Hope. (I am glad you followed her, too. This way I don’t have two parties of one running around. …Though it’s not like Snow is doing much at the moment. BUT STILL. PARTY OF ONE.)
What’s with all the dead ends around here, though?
Hope senses enemies approaching!! Oh, but it’s no biggie. Lightning is confidant that the regular troops don’t know about our existence, so they aren’t going to be looking. Makes things a little easier.
Hope wonders how the others are. Time to skip over? No, time for Lightning to give a speech… of sorts. And mock Snow. HOPE IS INTRUIGED.
In this area, I have to kill all the mobs before I can advance! …Which is, you know, what I’d been doing, anyway, but maybe not everyone does that?
Hooo, ten crawlers in this battle! That’s a surprisingly high number.
Hope, you really don’t need to sit down every time we pause for a scene, do you…? It's just, that original comment was intended partly as a joke. XD
NOW, in case we’d forgotten, we are flashing back to chapter one, where Hope’s mother went off and got killed. … we were there, SE. It’s okay, really.
(See, Lightning, I warned you that violence against Snow would encourage Hope.)
And now he wants your sword LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE DONE.
Flashback! FOOD.
Haha, you’re a l’Cie and you’re marrying HIM?! WHAT KIND OF IDIOT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR. Lightning, threats are the wrong answer. (“Worst birthday ever”? HILARITY. Sad, unfortunate hilarity. Oh, Lightning.) OH GOODY A KNIFE. Right? She hasn’t actually opened it yet. Yep, there it is. Just like the game’s been telling me for the past, like, four and a half chapters. IT WAS A BIRTHDAY PRESEEENT.
(In her defense, that would sound pretty ridiculous. You’re a Pulse l’Cie? Riiiight.)
OH NO INJURED AND DYING PEOPLE! HOPE THINKS WE SHOULD HELP THEM!
LIGHTNING DISAGREES AND WILL THROW HIM OVER THE WALKWAY IF HE TRIES IT AGAIN. They're the enemy.
Hope doesn’t care about your stupid truth! HE IS BLAMING SNOW FOR EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING EVER! Man, you just can’t talk reason to teenagers, can you?
Weird, creepyugly plant boss-monster! Hope, don’t go shouting that it’s Operation Nora until after we succeed.
Okay, no, it was safe. WE’RE GOOD, but dang, I think I shifted at least twice as many times in that battle than I had otherwise. Huurg. I miss being able to just cure.
It is so pretty here (in general, not just here in the Whitewood), and then I keep remembering that we are all living in a ball and all of the sky is artificial and it makes me go o___O;;;)
PALUMPOLUM. FOUND IT! It is still a bit away, but, you know, we can see it. SLOW PROGRESS.
Meanwhile, back in the Lindblum… Snow issss…. Being harassed by Fang and staring at Serah’s tear-thing.
And flashbacking to RUNNING AWAY AAUGH back on Day 12. Stupid guards trying to kill us! And Serah gets absorbed by the fal’Cie-housing vestige.
ZOOMER CRASH. Walk it off, man. Walk it off.
Fang punches Snow… again. We really do need to rename (or at least subtitle) this game to Everyone Beats Up Snow.
END CHAPTER 5?
Go go chapter 6!
Now we play with Vanille and Sazh again! Who have found plants, but which Sazh does not appreciate. And we keep running and running and guys really don’t we have to stop eventually?
It’s not that I terribly mind that everyone earns Crystogen points, but it doesn’t really make any sense. Lightning and Hope have a grant adventure! Vanille and Sazh profit from it! YAY LEVELS.
… Flandragora…
“All this dampness is damp.” … yes, thank you, Sazh.
Gremlins dance (or spin in place) in a circle formation (or all run in a circle) while not attacking me. Interesting…
Sazh does indeed have a kid! Dajh. And he is quite emo about it. … hmmm.
FLASHBACKS day 11, fireworks again.
Oh, wow, that was some terrible lip-syncing, right there. Hm. I guess SE just doesn’t have animating kids down yet.
Maybe the Sanctum has his kid or something, maybe that’s why he’s being all weird about it all.
I’M GONNA TRY AND FIGHT THE SCARY SCALEBEAST THE GAME WARNED ME ABOUT. Dying in five…
Okay, no dying, but it took forever and yielded nothing, so it wasn’t really worth it.
… except for that one, who’s guarding a box. GIVE IT TO ME.
Oh, my gosh it is so pretty here. The water maybe looks a little odd, but it is still so pretty.
Nap time? Naps are good. I like naps. BABY CHOCOBO TIME for Vanille. Everybody wins!
Gotta say, I don’t entirely understand the pelt. It just looks a little odd.
Oh, no! WE’VE BEEN ABANDONED. Sazh, come back! Show me the way, baby chocobo!
Ah, here he is. We were worried, man!
Oh, his kid is a l’Cie, too? Ouch. D:
Zoom, Day 5. Euride Gorge plant! Seeing a (Cocoon!) fal’Cie in a safe and controlled environment! EXCEPT NOT THIS TIME APPARENTLY WHAT WHAT?
Nooo, baby chocobo is associated with sadness?? That is unfair!
… oh, dear, Vanille. You and Fang are in this flashback, too. That bodes ill — eek. When Sazh finds out, he’s going to be unhappy with you.
Well, at least it was a Sanctum fal’Cie so they didn’t try to kill him outright?
BABY CHOCOBO DISAPPROVES OF DEATH, heee. ♥
… wait a tick, the story was the Pulse l’Cie set off Kujata so Dajh was made into a Cocoon l’Cie. It was Vanille and Fang, so Vanille was already a Pulse l’Cie? Or was it Fang, and something happened to her mark between then and now? (OR BOTH OF THEM?)
Man, how much of this mess could have been avoided if people hadn’t decided I AM GOING TO PERSONALLY DESTORY THE PULSE fal’CIE!!!! (The answer is A LOT OF IT, at least.)
Ack, the chocobo’s entry has changed. Good thing I recorded the TRUTH about its name earlier. (IT IS NOT BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY HAVE NOT NAMED IT YET COME ON.)
… Weird bubble-thing makes it rain. And spawns new mobs.
… oof. Wyverns. Bad idea.
… "uh-oh" what? Oh, scary monster. WE’RE SNEAKING!
IT’S NOT WORKING!
AAA BOSS BATTLE
Actually, to be honest, boss battles give me far less trouble than the regular mobs… See, I pay attention for boss battles, instead of allowing myself to be distracted by AIM or by the cat or… whatever. So I notice when my HP gets low.
A fence blocks my view! Fortunately, there is a hole in it. It is a fail-fence. And we are boarding a ship! Or just getting rained on. Again. Not because I poked a weather-bubble this time, though!
Vanille is sad that Sazh hates Pulse. I WAS TOTALLY RIGHT WASN’T I.
Stupid fal’Cie making Sazh decide Pulse really IS horrid and evil! I do wonder what the deal is.
THIS IS GOING TO EXPLODE HORRIBLY WHEN THE TRUTH COMES OUT ISN’T IT.
:(
...Probably the end of this chapter?
Yep.
END CHAPTER… uh. 6! And this entry. After the Chapter 7 opening scene, anyway, ugh. I need to remember to just quit after saving.
OH NO PULSE THE l’CIE THE DOOM THE EVIL PANIC EVERYONE PAAANIIIIC!!!
This has been your daily public service announcement! Brought to you by… Yaag Rosch, the datalog tells me.
Back to Lightning and Hope, then. WE ARE TOTALLY GOING TO STEAL A TRAIN. Wheeha!
Hope, Lightning doesn’t like you being a violent, death-happy lunatic.
NOW WE ARE HEADED FOR TUNNELS.
Or that save point. We may be headed there, instead. Yaaaay.
How many chapters are there, anyway, I wonder? Probably thirteen again. XD
... Yeah, me, neither.
