samatethecookieSo tired. I've been awake since five o'clock this morning. @_@; I can't wait to get to sleep tonight, because I had a bad day and I want to put it behind me.
I got The Princess on the Frog on Blu Ray today! It's great. (And I spazzed out because OMG, THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE'S COMING OUT IN APRIL, EEEEEE.)
I played through Final Fantasy XIII a bit more today, and I've finally reached chapter eight. Obviously there's a huge spoiler warning here. Nothing major, but I'm putting a warning up just in case anyone else hasn't reached that point yet.
(1) IDK, you guys. I've reached chapter eight of Final Fantasy XIII, and so far the angst hasn't been too much to deal with. Given the situation that all of the characters are thrown into, their reactions make sense. I don't think the majority of people would adopt, I don't know, Vanille's (feigned) attitude if they knew their paths would either lead them to turning into a monster or turning into a crystal. And really, this angst that everybody's complaining about is no different than angst featured in previous Final Fantasy games. I think what players are having a problem with is how the events begin and where the story starts? It's hard to get a grasp on how the characters are before the drama unfolds and they're justifiably upset about it.
(2) You know, I don't know where they're going with these scenes with Sazh/Vanille, but the shipper within me is falling into the trap. A TRAP THAT WILL LEAVE ME BITTER FOREVER. I refuse to fall for it because I know where this is going. :| (I'm losing. T-They're on a "park date", for God's sake. I CAN'T RESIST THINGS LIKE THAT.)
Other than that, no ships at the moment. Snow/Serah is cute, but I haven't seen enough of them to really make my mind up about it, and they lack the certain something I look for in ships. Fang/Vanille is fascinating, but watch, they're sisters or cousins or something and the incest will leave me feeling icky all over for even considering it. Snow/Fang seems okay, but that's really cruel to Serah, imho.
(3) I AM SO GLAD HOPE IS DONE BEING AN ANGSTY BITCH. It got to the point where I didn't want him in my party at all because he aggravated me so much. (And I was suspicious of him fighting alongside Snow, because there were points where he'd straight out stop healing me in the party and I ended up dying. Little bastard.) He still does, but his mommy and daddy issues seem like they've been settled and I can only hope that it remains that way.
(4) I kind of don't like where they went with Vanille's characterization. Like, I get what they're trying to do, but what I think ruined the impact for me was how they revealed everything about her from the very beginning. "Oh, she's cheerful, but it's just a mask for the darkness within her! She's sad and she's done things she regrets!" If it hadn't been for her inner monologue throughout the game, her relationship with Fang would've been a bit more shocking.
