I am watching this clip right now... And do not appreciate all the details that went into Jenova. Mainly the eyeball on her boob. It's making me sad to watch Zack in action again, but I'm checking to make sure it's got the thing I mentioned on #4 of the hate list (and it does). Ya'll better love me for going through the torment.
Y'know, I just thought of something. Fighting Sephiroth in Dissidia is like, "12 feet of terror" (Yeah, you could probably put a sex joke in that), but if you're fighting using him, it's more like "MASAMUNE FTW!" Definitely my top 3 characters in that game are Terra, Zidane, and Sephiroth... But Cloud's alternate outfit is pretty dang sexy. NO, I didn't just say that. The inner fangirl is taking over. Her name's Barbara.
That was so random.
I really gotta learn Japanese. And Latin, so I know what the heck One-Winged Angel is saying. I look it up, but always forget. Something about hate and terror and destruction and other adjectives that describe terrorists and natural disasters, all followed by "SE-PHI-ROTH!"
Haha, yeah, gotta keep with that T rating, the whole no blood thing. Sephiroth AND Cloud were skewered with razor-sharp swords, but do they bleed? Noooo. This is giving a bad example to children. I can see it now...
Kid #1: Ahh! You just stabbed me in the heart with a butter knife! (Tonberry reference, anyone?)
Kid #2: That's OK. I saw it in Final Fantasy. You won't even bleed!
... Was it just me, or was that very morbid?
Aww, and I just love this part. You can really tell Cloud cares about Tifa. It just warms my heart... Then crushes it when he gets thrown around like a helpless slice of ham on a toothpick.
OK, Seph, dude, if you're trying to save your mommy or whatever, why slice off her head? That would not be my first idea. And lovely guttural noises, Cloud. I know you just got stabbed in the diaphragm and all, but really? It's like when you're in battle and you beat an enemy, it kind of sounds like it farts when it dies. And also, even though he just got a huge sword stuck through his ribs, how does Cloud throw Sephiroth all over the place? I would not be able to do that. I wouldn't even think of that. Then again, I'm not a Final Fantasy character or one of their programmers.
Oh, yeah, just walk it off Cloud. You only had your upper intestines carved out by the "sharpest sword ever." Be a MAY-UN! Oh, look, he fell over. My bad.
Uhhgg, Hojo. Frickin' hate that guy. I felt the need to throw my hatred out there. And yeah, the video is in Japanese. I already know what it says (nevermind the fact that I can't remember it...) but it was the first one I clicked on, so go ahead and watch it. My lovely commentary should be enough explanation for you. Speaking of which, I had a lot of fun with this...

Crisis Core Review
Yeah, it's been a while... Again. Maybe I should try to update every Saturday? Who am I kidding, it wouldn't get done. Either way, I recently finished Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII... That was seriously the saddest ending ever. More sad than FFX. But I hated X, so I might have cried at the end of it if Seymour Flux had just died the first time I battled him, instead of the 5,482nd. Yes, that one battle made me hate the entire game. I just had a cranergy and those things make me bounce off the walls (and topics), so let's get on with this show.
If you don't already know, CC is a prequel to VII. It follows the (all too short) life of Zack Fair and tells more about how Sephy went bad, Cloud got the Buster Sword, and who Aerith was always talking about being in SOLDIER. Isn't a bit ironic I love Aerith in CC, but hate her everywhere else? Probably cause she didn't know Cloud yet and couldn't try to get in Tifa's way. (ClouTi FTW!) Oops, lemme try again....
K, so if we're talkin' about the battle system, it definitely has some getting used to, but I liked it in the end. What I really hated was you only have 5 materia slots, so you don't really reach full potential... In my opinion. Heck, I'm still used to VII and having like 10 slots on Vincent's Death Bringer. Is it weird that that and chocobos are the main thing I remember from that game? And that horrible Gold Saucer... Uhhgg. Another problem I had with the battles is how it says "Entering Combat Mode" or something at the beginning of every battle. It's not just words, this weird chick says it, too. If I'm not expecting it (which is most of the time) it'll scare the bajeebuz out of me. Seriously, you should see me jump. But I have say it was kinda cool it when said "Conflict Resolved" when you win. "In other words, you kicked his butt!" as my dad said.
... And I really have to brag about the music in this game. Honestly some of my favorite music in any game ever (including any Guitar Hero. Is that weird?)
The characters, wow, the characters were just... Wow. Zack was really likable to me. He kind of was like Cloud, but he seemed a much more optimistic, outgoing person. Not that I don't love Cloud. Must... stop... before... inner fangirl... takes over!!..... Ahem, now, some of the new characters in this game (and also never, ever mentioned ever, ever again, anywhere) include Genesis, another human project; Angeal, who talks about honor all the time then goes and kills his own mom (was I the only one who saw the irony in that?); and Cissnei, a Turk who's obviously sweet on Zack and never tells you her real name. Seriously, I would kill just to know her real name. It's killing me on the inside. But not really. I'll probably forget about it in a week or so.
The story was pretty well thought-out. It explains pretty much everything you wanted to know from VII and did it in a nice, timely fashion. I mean, after about 30 minutes of playing, I really felt into it, trying to become 1st class SOLDIER. Or that just may be a cosplaying mindset. Who knows? Anyway, it does explain stuff from VII, and even has time to add in its own little story about Sephy, Angeal, and Genesis. But his poem was kinda weird. It was interesting and all, but seriously hard to follow since it was spliced up and recited in different parts of the game. I can't remember yesterday, much less what the last thing a character said. You can watch in on YouTube and hear it all at once, but I still have to have the words to follow along with. Confusing, I know. Wow, I'm thinking up so much stuff right now I can hardly concentrate.... Or type straight. Backspace is your friend! You know you can find Vincent in the basement at Nibelheim? I thought that was funny. But it also made me sad. Poor Vinny.
Honestly there's only about 3 or 5 things that I hated about the game, and they are...
1. It made me like Aerith.
2. I finished the game at about level 39. Usually you finish a Final Fantasy around 50. Or at least I do.
3. The ending. I bawled my eyes out. Well, not really. But the little crying I did was the equivalent of bawling since I never cry.
4. The Cloud-kabob scenario. I'd heard of it, but it still made me sad to watch. Poor Cloud.
5. Zack's new hair. I liked it better the original way he had it.
I feel this is pretty long, so I'll end it here. But I'll probably put another thing up with videos from stuff I've talked about... TTYL! Err... S! (That's soon instead of later. See what I did there?)

FFXIII, finally!
Just a little note here that, in case you've been living under a rock and have no idea, Final Fantasy XIII is set for March 9, 2010 on PS3 and 360. I was so excited when I found out I almost crapped puppies :D

KH W-- Well, you know.
So I was looking through Legend of Zelda flair on Facebook (I'm such a dork, I know) and I remembered, "Hey, I've got a blog!" So here I am, on with the show...
Well, I'm extremely disappointed in this for changing their layout. I can't find a list of worlds anywhere... At least not an alphabetical one. I do however love the red.
Uhhggg, more searching and still no luck. I even tried Google and Wikipedia. Until someone gets their ducks in a row, I don't feel like messing with it.

We're baaaaaaaaaaaaack....
Whew! What's this? I'm on a computer? Huh, forgot this was here. I've been hittin that PSP my friend gave me so hard, I'm surprised it's not part of my personal anatomy yet. Expect some Dissidia, Crisis Core, and Tomb Raider stuff soon.
Aw heck, This was gonna be a KH World review, but since I mentioned it, Dissidia is just about the best FF game I've played...
"Yo, I'm real happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Final Fantasy VII was the greatest Final Fantasy game of all time!!"
Can't say I disagree with that.
This game is pretty much a crossover of all the Final Fantasy games up to X, so that's a LOT of characters... Like 20? Cause you've got one good guy and one bad guy from each of them. Sure, the story kind of lacks a bit, and it can get tiring playing through all the stuff you've already seen, but the actual gameplay and pretty much everything else you could think of makes up for it. And it looks fantastic! But I might not be used to the PSP yet and maybe all the games look like this. Gotta say Tomb Raider was kind of blocky. Anyway, I haven't played all of the characters yet (I've worked all of them up to Onion Knight, in difficulty, so I'm actually pretty close) but I have to say my favorite to play with has been Zidane so far. FFIX is sooo the next game on my list....

358/2 Days Org. XIII Members Review
Finally got a copy of my beloved, long awaited 358/2... Obviously I haven't completed the entire game yet, but I have played as all the members in Mission mode. Well, all the original members, none of the secret ones yet... Anyway, I felt like reviewing them, so here we go.
I had fun playing with Xemnas. He has lightsabers!! That automatically makes him cool. Fighting, he's pretty quick, but just walking he's a bit of a slowpoke. Heck, he doesn't walk -- he floats. Chalk another one up for the cool factor!! The limit break is weird, though. It's like a giant sphere of doom that actually isn't that doomtacular.
Xigbar was a pain. Sure, he attacks pretty quick, but with every attack, he flies backward. It's not easy hitting your target unless you've got a wall behind him to keep him in place and loosing the lock on. Plus he misses a lot, and sometimes I don't even think he's attacking. The limit break was kind of cool though. It kind of reminded me of Halo.... But you zoom in and take out your enemies in sniper fashion.
Xaldin was pretty cool, too. Even though he flies up sometimes when attacking, making stuff on the ground harder to hit, his attacks were pretty good ... Fast enough, too. His limit break was some swishy whirly thing that did pretty good damage... He better be a good fighter, after the way he messed me up at Beast's Castle in II.
Didn't like Vexen. I mean honestly, who fights with a shield? Yes, that includes Goofy. Only reason I keep him around is for Valor Form. Anyway, IV is a magic geared fighter, and attack magic isn't really my thing. I didn't play long enough with him to find out what his limit break was.
I had hopes for Lexaeus. I saw the high attack and HP stats and thought "Now THIS will be fun." but Oooohhhhh how I was wrong. He's slower than a snail joggin through molasses, plus hard to steer and hard to get to hit what you want unless you're locked on. Limit break was pretty pointless, too.
Zexion is another magic character, so I didn't like him too much. And a book? What where they thinking? "Hey, Imma attack you with my big scary book and crazy emo hair!" ... No offence to emos. I don't know what kind of label I'd be, but I've been called emo before. ... I don't think I remember his limit break. That's short term memory loss for you.
Saix was OK. He attacked pretty fast and had a long range, two things I appreciate. His attacks weren't that strong though. He didn't really want to go where you told him either. Limit break was real confusing though. First time I saw it I was kind of like "WHAT is going ON??!!" Basically it's a mass hysteria version of Roxas's limit but you can't see what the heck you're doing or where you're going.
I had fun with Axel, too. Even for a close range character, the battle design was nicely executed. And why can't I remember all these limit breaks???!!!
Demyx!!! I remember his!! But as far as regular fighting goes, I wasn't that happy with. He's extremely close range and doesn't hit very strong. Limit break is kind of like stuff he did in KHII. Which is nice, since I hoped he'd have SOMETHING cool about him.
Luxord was weird to get used to playing. His cards make him kind of a close fighter, but they circle around him so he's good for large groups of heartless. I didn't get the limit break though... A card just pops up. I guess it's kind of like a shield, but it only pops up on one side of him so it's not a very good one...
Heeeey Marly!! (Inside joke) Marluxia was the first Organization character I played as, and I wasn't dissappointed. The scythe is pretty cool and he's easy to handle. Limit break is good for taking out lots of enemies, which is usually what's around you when your health gets that low anyway.
I wanted to like Larxene, I really did, but I just couldn't. She's fast, but that's about it. Her attacks didn't hit very hard, but she had enough stamina to survive a decent amount of time. Her limit is sort of a cross between Roxas, Axel, and Saix's. Fast and all over the place, but doesn't hurt a lot.
And Roxas's stuff is just stuff I'm used to, so I'm not going into detail. If you're any kind of KH fan, you already know how he works. And I played all these characters using the same panels as what I had set for Roxas, so some of them might not've reached their potential, but I wasn't messing with ol' Roxy's stuff. Out of all the characters (excluding Roxas), I'd have to say my favorites were Marly, Xaldin, and Xemnas. I just love a man in pink.

Worlds continuted...
Whew! Finally pulled myself off FFX long enough to type something. For hating that game for so long, I sure am playing it a whole lot lately.... Oh well.
Hundred Acre Wood!! Aww, I love this place.... Yes, I'm a sucker for Winnie the Pooh. Even if it's just a bunch of mini games, it's an awful cute world. It's pretty much impossible to hate this place.
Monstro, uhhggg, I really hated this place. The KHI world based on Pinocchio, the whole thing takes place inside the giant whale. I haven't seen that movie since I was little, but I'm pretty sure the whole movie's not inside some big ugly whale. Plus if they were going to do a world inside an animal, they should've taken a look at Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time first. Y'know, the dungeon Lord Jabu Jabu's Belly? If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm sorry you have lived such a poor deprived childhood. But it would freak me out to know my insides were rainbow... Ok, no it wouldn't. That would be awesome!!
Neverland, the Peter Pan world... Just in KHI, right? I don't remember... Anyway, I thought it was a nice touch, taking place on the ship and the clock tower. But why not make the game where you could play on the island? I would've loved to find the Lost Boy's hideout. And you can fly here!! That automatically makes this world cool.
One more... Olympus Collusium, the Hercules world in KHI, CoM, and II. In the first game it was OK I guess, just somewhere to show off your mad keyblade skills that aren't actually that great yet. You can fight Sephy here too in KHI, something I actually haven't done yet... Nobody likes CoM, so I'm not going to say much about it. II has a lot more to offer in this world. They added the Underworld in this one, with its own battle arena since the one on the surface world has been destroyed (SPOILERISH!!!). But you know what the best part about this world is? Auron!! It's the man himself. Who knew when he dissappeard to the Farplane, he actually went to Kingdom Hearts? Plus another thing... "Jump up on the Hydra's back!" Ohhh man that cracks me up every time... Best thing to do with a video game -- find "That's what she said" moments.
