I completed this impressive game just today, during one of the lab lessons lol. Well, I only played through the main storyline and 33% of the missions. But what the heck man, we all play this for the story right?
Tears came close. Pretty close, but not that overpowering. The ending was kind of expected I guess. It makes sense, since FFVII:CC is just the prequel to the original FFVII, and so at some point in time we know ‘he’ is going to die! The various familiar scenes just makes it all the more painful: the truck, the Shinra troops, the famous cliff overlooking Migard(remember the cliff where the buster sword laid in FFVII:AC?)
Thats the ending CGI scene. Its perfectly okay to watch it, because it doesn’t give anything away. Its what we know back even before FFVII:CC is released. That ‘he’ died.
I’m not going to be a perfectly perfect perfectionist and complete the game in hard mode with all missions cleared, because frankly I believe its a waste of time to replay a game for no story at all.
Currently in the process of obtaining FFVII for psp, hahaha! Even though the graphics sucks, I guess I’ll play through to see the story of what is generally known as the best Final Fantasy game in existence(storywise).
I got to know of next season’s anime pretty late, so here I’m just gonna list out those I’m interested in. I actually got the list from PinkuBentoBox, and Negative Zero’s commentaries may have gotten me a bit biased though. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2
I stopped watching halfway through the first season, and till now I wonder why. I liked the general feel of the show, mecha and strategy. So I’m probably gonna go finish the first season before the second. Allison & Lillia
World War Two technology and fantasy intermixed into an anime? I’d like that. Kanokon
Just to see how the plot compares with other fanservice shows. Really, I swear! Special A
Mmm… Shoujo. Some probably already know I’m into these type of shows more than shounen. From the limited series I’ve watched, I noticed shoujo tends to have draggy storyline that ends dramatically. I’ll see how it goes then.
On top of these, I’ll be catching up on some older drama series like Gokusen and Honey and Clover. Yeah, I do have alot of free time on hand.
PS: Don’t be too expectant on a review of the anime listed above. I’m just too lazy nowadays.
Very nice video of DOA girls vs FF girls. I don’t play these two games myself, but still, the animation is fluid, the details are there, the fight cheorography is nice too.
Only downside is that youtube quality sucks. Still looking for a higher resolution video!
Finally managed to catch Evangelion 1.0 over at our local theatres today. I actually wanted to watch it on the day of release, but various problems popped up. I did hear reviews(from word of mouth) that the movie sucked because its just like the anime. NOT.
Alright, I did mentioned I was only watching two series in my previous post, but that was just a ruse to hide my mainstreamity with Clannad. Today was an off day for me, so I was too quite free. Managed to catch the final episode of Clannad, episode 22.
I liked how the series has ended. It wasn’t very romance oriented, rather, the theme was more on family. I got rather shocked when Tomoya confessed to Nagisa in the end though. He didn’t seem like that kind of a person!
On a side note, I managed to get my copy of KOTOKO’s Blaze today! Blaze sounded good to me, just a bit mellow for my taste. Sociometry was kinda a love hate song. I thought it sounded a bit too disco-like(can’t find a better word), but I did like the tune of it.
On another side note, Mami Kawada’s Savia is gonna be released tomorrow, but it won’t be till 2nd April( or later) before I receive it, because I ordered it with Eiko’s Hikari Nadeshiko. Yeah, I’m scrimping on shipping, and I’m pretty broke already! No matter, I’ll download preview Savia first thing tomorrow!
As misakichii pointed out, its been close to a good whole month since I last posted. And that wasn’t even a decent post, just some random ramblings. So what have I been up to?
Dealing with real life.
Work is too consuming. I live in the west, yet I have to travel an hour to the east daily for my work. And when I do get home, I’m pretty much too drained to do anything. I don’t get the drive to download and watch anime even. Thats gonna change however, since I’ll be quitting my job and moving to one at my alma mater, as a lab technician. Its 5 mins from my house, so I should have more time on my hands now. Time I should make better use of. I’ve been plagued with issues the past few weeks too, of relationship, family, work, colleagues, friends. Hopefully I can resolve all of them soon enough.
As for anime, I expect a revival when I start my new job, or when I go back to Uni. Currently the only ones I’m watching are Hayate no Gotoku and Kimikiss( down to two!). I don’t even know whats on the upcoming season. Somehow I just can’t be the anime otaku I used to be. I don’t scream at the sight of Haruhi, I don’t see the point in figurines, and I’m starting to feel anime is expendable now.
So I’m afraid, guys, don’t expect too much over here. Its gonna be even more spastically updated from now on.
If there really is an anime god high above us, I’d surely receive my divine retribution for swaying away from the path of animeblogging and into writing about doramas.
