SO MUCH SNOW
GUYS GUYS WE HAD A THUNDERSNOW LAST NIGHT IT WAS SO AWESOME :D :D
AND THEN THE PLOWS COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO CLEAR EITHER THE ROADS OR THE SIDEWALKS THAT WAS... ALSO AWESOME. But I wasn't too late to work. It could have been worse! And since it was Superbowl Sunday,the customers were all even more lunatic bread zombies than usual there was free food in the break room! And it was very tasty. :3
ANYWAY I started playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days recently!
No secret opening? Sadface!
I am kind of disappointed the opening is just a rehash of scenes from earlier games (it did, at least, do a fairly good job of reminding me that I didn't like killing them/watching them all DIE DIE DIE in Chain of Memories. And that Proof of Existence was the worst room. Also, Vexen has kind of an alarmingly hilarious creepyface. It didn't come through near as well on the GBA version and no I still haven't been bothered to play the PS2 copy. Argh). Though there were a few amusingly timed moments during "Sanctuary" - …I think I will always like the "Passion" version of the song better, I don't know, some of the lines in the English version feel forced. Like they don’t quite fit or something - though, when the Organization Members appeared to be acting or lip-synching along…
C'mon, Roxas, you can't expect Axel to be able to keep track of time. NO, YOU IDIOT it's less that he has the number memorized and more that he has the original day memorized and can count from there.
I wonder if other Nobodies started out unable to … form sentences and such, or if Roxas was an exception?
Ahaha, oh, Larxene… "Eww. You're awake?" HELLO TO YOU, TOO.
… cannot jump on tables. :<
So, really, where do they get these things? Those chairs? Seriously, what the heck, Xemnas, you're such a lunatic.
OR MAYBE I SHOULD PRETEND I AM ROXAS FOR A WHILE.
……….
………
………..
(DIALOGUE CUES FROMSQUALL LEON ARE A BAD IDEA, ROXAS, DON'T DO IT.)
…(For the records that no one - not to be confused with nobody - is keeping, I have probably never said "Leon's name normally in my life. It is ridiculous and so I find I always adopt an overly ridiculous voice and also usually say it louder than necessary. I'm sorry, Squall, I love you dearly, but sometimes you are a complete idiot.)
HAHAHA Saïx told Roxas nobody would check his diary. YOU UNSUSPECTING FOOL.
… This is going to be a caps-happy ramble, isn't it?
Well, XIV/Xion (what does I-O-N even break down into? Nio? Noi? Oni? Actually, I've been spoilered just enough to know her real name is not exactly related to her identity, but I don't really know how that works, so JUST ENOUGH TO BE REALLY CONFUSED, basically) doesn't seem real talkative yet, either, at least.
Awww, Twilight Town! I've missed yooou ;_;
Axel does not know what Missions are. He has not "got it memorized" which they are probably about to say when I hit A and advance the dialogue again GAME I AM LIKE 8 MINUTES IN LAY OFF IT JUST A LITTLE
No, okay, he decides we're just gonna go do shit, instead. Whee!
oh god there it is again
… RUNNING TALLY: GO!
(I "only" got to 5 before Axel sort of wandered off for a while and I got bored of remembering to look for it. Mind you, those all happened in the first day or two. So it is a fair amount of memorization in the first hour of gameplay.)
AXEL-HERDING. I do not mean to push you around, but you skate quite nicely, so, eh.
BOX GET. … Oh, Roxas, you don't even know to think to open it. (Well, why would you?) That's … strangely adorable.
Man, I wish I could warp around as easily as that. Stop showing off, Axel! Or at least keep up, geez.
Awww, Demyx just wants a music-buddy!
... Shadows don't release hearts? I guess they might not. Been quite a while since I kicked around in any Kingdom Hearts game.
This conversation with Marluxia is just reminding me of how ticked off I got at everyone around me in KHII. YOU HAVE TO STOP THE ORGANIZATION FROM COLLECTING THE HEARTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BECOME HEARTLESS AND WHICH WOULD ONLY BECOME HEARTLESS AGAIN ANYWAY AAAAAUGH.
I mean, yeah, more to it than that, but it did really tick me off how Mickey et al were just like SORA GO KILL THOSE GUYS THEY ARE EVIL NO DON'T ASK US HOW OR WHY JUST SHUT UP AND DO IT and we had to just go along with it. (I even feel kind of bad for Zemnas, even though he – well, Xehanort – is, you know, the root of the problem, really.) (I also know the other five of the first six are also much more responsible, but I still feel really bad about it because I like them and their lives suck.)
Roxas, m'dear, trust me – even if you stop taking out Heartless, they won't stop trying to take out you. (Zexion, you talk so much like the bookworm you are. NEVER CHANGE. … well, actually, we know you don't, so. GOOD JOB.) (Also, I am laughing a bit at the fact that he attacks by, apparently, CLUBBING THINGS WITH HIS LEXICON. It is fairly thick, so I suppose it would hurt to get knocked upside the head by the thing…)
I keep trying to double jump. Interestingly enough, it keeps not working.
… ZEXION: NOT-SO-SILENTLY JUDGING YOUR LAZY BUM. "You don't have to eliminate them all. It's your choice. Just like I don't have to respect you for slinking back to the castle while there's still work to be done." Amazing. I was going to ♥ here, but then I thought maybe that would not be a nice thing to do?
"[Y]ou and I and all the Organization's members are what we call Nobodies."
"Well, that's not very nice."
No, Roxas, you do not have a heart. :(
LARXENE ALREADY LEFT oh man she is so ridiculous.
Nooo, magic. My weak area. D:
(Really, though, she - Larxene, I mean - is evil and a jerk, so why do I like her so much?)
Moooom Saaaaïx, Vexen is being creepy and talking about dissection!
NOOO Saïx, you weren't supposed to HAND ME OVER to creepy dissection-talking guy! (I love you, anyway, Vexen!)
("What do you want? I'm busy. Go hit your head against the glass or something." LARXEEEENE you are mean to me. I DO NOT KNOW WHY, EITHER, Demyx. Let us commiserate together.)
YES, VEXEN, I AM QUITE DAFT, OBVIOUSLY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH this mission is the best yet I am not even joking.
Also, Config B is basically my favourite thing ever. CAMERA SET TO THE TRIGGERS! Oh, hooray!
… The townsfolk may well be wary, but I haven't actually seen anyone yet, so, uh. It's sort of a moot point at this stage ofthe game that sounds stupid considering this is actually a game … things, Vexen.
DAY THIRTEEEEEN. Final Fantasy XIII started on day thirteen!
LEXAEUS JUST PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE THAT WAS AMAZING AND I CANNOT STOP GIGGLING (s-sorry, Roxas, but it was funny)!
Ohh, Roxas. :( Every time they start talking about "Kingdom Hearts" (which is, uh, every mission) I get all sad.
Axel, should we not bothering doing it if we can't do it with style? Or am I having Transformers character-profile flashbacks? (HI JAZZ)
Heee, Demyx! "You ever get the urge to just do something stupid… and AWESOME? Wait, wait… I'm getting an idea… Nope, it's gone."
It's kind of sad how Saïx apparently has absolutely nothing better to do than stand around and send me on missions.
… AWKWARD SILENCE.
(So, okay, I am really, really bad at remembering X / the triangle button equivalent is used to navigate the menus on the field.)
I'm with Axel, here! Go to your room?! Oh, Roxas. XD
Hayner! And Pence! And Olette, too, maybe? YES THERE SHE IS. Aww, hi, guys!
Roxas thinks they acted weird. Oh, kiddo. :(((( "THOSE 'HA HA' NOISES" ROXAS YOU ARE MAKING ME SO SAD RIGHT NOW even though I know it is not your fault.
Axel really is oddly aware of all this Having a Heart business for someone without one, isn't he? (The other "normal" Nobodies - Roxas is not normal, we all know this - may as well, who knows, it's not like they ever talk about it if so.) (Though I guess I am more fond of the idea the manga presents, that they all do have emotions, they just are feel uncertainty and emptiness due to that whole NO HEARTS thing. This may be directly related to me giggling a bit much at the idea of the Organization members sitting around doing jigsaw puzzles.)
Aaand a week later Xion shows up. Wonder if she spent the last few days being all silent and not moving, too!
… Wait, I have to equip my levels? What the hell?! THAT IS A STUPID IDEA WHO CAME UP WITH THAT I NEED TOPUNCH YOU GET LEXAEUS TO PUNCH YOU.
Hm. Are they talking about the group going to Castle Oblivion…? Marluxia thinks I'd have made a fine addition, if only we'd met sooner, and Luxord is wondering what he'll do without half the poker league. (Or is it something else. I HOPE IT IS SOMETHING ELSE. I know it is not, though.)
Ha, in my mad dash to get away from the Zip Slasher before it used its spinny-doom attack again (wow, it has an easy pattern…) I ended up pushing Marluxia to safety, as well.
Heh, looks like the AI is a little better (worse? Depending on your point of view) now. In the original games, if you didn't want to fight the boss, you could usually stand back and let Donald and Goofy (or whoever your guest member was) take 'em out. Here, if you fall back, your party member follows you! (I was stupid and got nailed with a spin attack and retreated a little ways to heal up, noticed Marluxia followed me, and so decided to experiment with that.)
Day 17 doesn't get a title? HAHA RIGHT I FORGOT the last two missions were also Day 17!
PROVE YOUR ENDURANCE BY SURVIVING ONE ENTIRE MINUTE. … I am suddenly terrified of what they are about to throw at me.
Ah. Dusks.
'kay. That was easily the hardest thing they've thrown at me yet. @_@;
ZOOM Jump to Day 22!
CASTLE OBLIVION: I HAVE IT MEMORIZED. … which, uh. Is tricky, considering what being in there can do to a person.
Hey, Axel! I'd tell you to take care for Roxas, since, you know, he wouldn't think to, but we all already know you're the only one who's gonna walk out of there, so instead I shall make sad faces about everything else.
ROXAS IS A WINNER! Of… ~something~ that he can't actually ask Axel about 'cause, you know. Castle Oblivion! Yaaaay……
I guess that's a good place to call this done for now. GO DIE NOW! ;_; waaah.
And while I probably could keep a death list for this game, I've found I haven't been. There aren't lots of exciting ways to die, just the mobs, so. Eh.
In utterly unrelated news, I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS PIECE OF MUSIC WHAT THE HECK HELP its pretty okay (I even managed to find a YouTube video that doesn't have that song with the minor spoiler in the title over in the suggestions bar!)
AND THEN THE PLOWS COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO CLEAR EITHER THE ROADS OR THE SIDEWALKS THAT WAS... ALSO AWESOME. But I wasn't too late to work. It could have been worse! And since it was Superbowl Sunday,
