'NOTHER GAME POST

Surprisingly longer than I had anticipated, on account of finishing the game. LAST FFXII RAMBLING POST.

I hate it when monsters blow themselves up and steal my exp away )

Really I probably could have put those last few sentences outside the cut instead of this. OH WELL.

Time for another game post.

I don't really have anything to say here. Um. Yeah! FFXII!

Because even I can't talk about robots all the time. )

Next up... more about robots, no doubt.

I'm not completely exhausted right now!

The best thing about weekends is waking up at 7:30 and being able to roll over and go right back to sleep. mmmm, sleep.

More gaming! )

And we're calling it a post, though I'll probably play a bit more before going to bed or something. That can just go towards the next entry.

Fool's Errand Runner

SO ONCE UPON A TIME JECCA STARTED PLAYING A VIDEO GAME.

And eventually she got back to it… )

Hopefully it won't be another, um... six months? Oh, dear. Hopefully less than that until I play some more.

FIGHTING OCCURS. AGAIN.

So Shantotto is in the line up for Dissidia and it makes me ridiculously happy, just in case you didn’t notice, what with the excessive caps in the last entry.

Exploring the tomb of the dead guy )

My dance recital is tomorrow night. I am hoping I do not mess up too badly or die.

BLM EAT DIRT

Last year on Thanksgiving I think I ran around painting trees and suns in the sky and stuff. This year I had Temple of the Ancients flashbacks. (Okay, so they started a few days ago. Whatever, shut up.)

So, the tomb of Raithwall. )

And that is all for now. It is short, but I've not been well, and I'm exhausted and going to bed.

In a minute.

Speaking of XI, the BCNM runs went…. slightly better today. On my – uh, second? – orb of the day, we got both a Peacock Charm and a scroll of Utsusemi: Ni. (That’s about 2 million gil.) I got to hold the scroll. o__o But I did not get to use it. It’s up on the auction house. SORROW.

But did you see the moonwalking bear?

Supernatural! ... !!!!! AND ALSO ♥ ♥ ♥ But please stop with the (I suppose this is potentially spoilerish? Those scenes you keep doing involving people without shirts, et cetera) because they are boring. (YES I AM A FREAK YOU ALL KNOW THIS.) <- NO RELEVANCE TO THE REST OF THIS ENTRY I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT THERE. ... But, seriously, January? I hate you. I'm not even going to be home that week. Jerks.

I am not level 40 yet, but I did have free time this afternoon. And tomorrow I have class all day. Uuugh. Also it's still snowing. Also, I use the word "also" THIRTEEN TIMES in this entry, which is at least twelve times too many (but that's probably less than the number of times I compare something to how it's done in Final Fantasy XI). Apologies.

Anyway, Final Fantasy XII.

Jecca still has no idea what is going on, really. )

HOW DID IT TAKE ME FOUR PAGES TO DO LIKE THREE THINGS? This is going to be a million pages long, isn't it.

Also, I don't plan on keeping a death list for this game, because I'd only count a GAME OVER as a death, and I'll probably whine a lot whenever I get one of those, so they'll be hard to miss.

Edit:
I ended up looking up the game's script and reading up until where my save file picked up. Yaaay, I know what's going on!

In the event of an emergency, activate PS2.

I AM BEGINNING TO NOTE A DISTINCT LACK OF ANYTHING OF INTEREST GOING ON HERE. O SWEET LIFE, WHEREFORE DOST THY DRAMA INFECT ME SO? I AM PROBABLY USING THE WRONG WORDS THERE. OH WELL.

In Psych class today, we watched clips from The Dark Knight on YouTube, and I still cannot actually watch the Joker because his mouth-tongue thing still squicks me the hell out for whatever reason, and I still do not understand why anyone would ever find him attractive (oh, yeah, Jecca, that's sure a surprise, coming from you), but he did make more... I hesitate to use the word SENSE, but I didn't sit there going, "OKAY, SO, AND...?" so, uh. Sense may be the word. I do not think it is, though.


ANYWAY. SO. Final Fantasy XII. I started playing this ages ago and got frustrated because it was too much like FFXI without actually being FFXI, which left me in situations that went like this: "WHY ISN’T THE WHITE MAGE CURING ME. CRAP, NOW I’M DEAD. OH, WAIT, RIGHT, I’M THE WHITE MAGE.”

But I’ve been wanting to play a console game for a while, and my plans for another from the Silent Hill series were cancelled when even thinking about it turned me into a jumpy, paranoid wreck. So I’ve gone back to FFXII. Rather, I’m going to as soon as I find it. My brother says he doesn’t have it with him at school, and I know I let him borrow it, which means it is in his room. I’d go get it right now! But the entrance to the attic is through my father’s room, and my father is asleep. Also, it’s unthinkably cold up there, and it may warm up slightly above freezing during the day, so. Tomorrow.

The other motivation here is that I lost all of my notes about what the heck was going on when my Dell committed suicide, so I want to get back to it before I forget everything. (And to think, I’d originally had them all hand written and typed them up because I thought it would be better and I’d be less likely to lose or misplace them. aegwhrkjgthl)

So this is going to jump in some part of the way through the game, but for now I’m just going to put what I can recall as having been in the pages and pages of LOST DOCUMENTS mostly to jog my own memory as much as is possible.

WHAT WAS GOING ON I CAN'T REMEMBER )

I’ll try to remember to dig it out tomorrow, but I’ll actually fire it up and play sometime later. Maybe after I get BLM to 40. (37 now, and I have to say, of all the jobs I thought I’d get to level 37 or beyond? Black Mage was never even in the running, and now it’s the third one. Pretty weird.) I totally thought we were going to level tonight, but my brother didn’t feel like it. DUDE, YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S BEEN TELLING ME TO NOT BOTHER WITH THE SLEEPING SO I COULD GET TO 40 FASTER. (Not really, but he did start every conversation with it for a while.) I expect I will be 40 before the week is out. Hopefully we’ll get at least two levels tomorrow.

Of course, my brother’s at his … co-op whatever thing all afternoon, so there’s always down time midday when I could pop it in. I wonder which memory card my file is on. Hmmm.
