Pleasant Friday

Had a great Thanksgiving = good food & company. Lars' aunt was particularly nifty! And it even sprinkled a teensy bit late last night, then this morning.

Avoided doing any shopping today - or even going outside. Nice day! Spent 4 hours doing all my Xmas cards, so they can go out now. Will risk sending 2 without zip codes [since I don't have them]. I like sending out cards - and like getting them ready to send out. [smiles in relief]

Gaming neep - I'm a little annoyed with the end of FF7. Keep forgetting that point of no return in the crater - passed it - and finished the game without maxing out my materia. Sure, I could have just reloaded, but the end is a lot of fun too. Maybe later. So I started a new game of Shadowhearts instead.

FFVII...

[seawasp]

My major problem with FFVII is the same with all the other FF's. The beginning scene says it all. It's a railroad from beginning to end. And it's occasionally a STOOOOOOOOOOPID railroad, such as how it's 5 days to the end of the world but you can spend literally hundreds of days raising chickens and running all over the world to collect additional Kewl Gadgets.

That said, it's still gorgeous in many ways and one of the few games to truly bring tears to my eyes (I had tears streaming down my face the first time I fought Jenova after Aerith died).

[nods] I don't know how they do it, but some of my games make me cry even on a 2nd play. I feel so silly - but still touched. And I would still willingly pay for a port of FF7 to the PSP to get choked up again. ^_^
