on Final Fantasy XIIIt’s been a long time since I’ve sat down and played with my PS. The last game I’ve played seriously is Kingdom Hearts II. After that I played Wild Arms 3 and only if I don’t have anything better to do. It’s not for the lack of great games to play but just that I wasn’t really that interested in the games coming out. Until now.
I learned that the local bootleg market already has the leaked version of Final Fantasy XII. So yeah, bought it along with Dirge of Cerberus. And seriously, I have no idea why, but so far, I’m liking XII better than X. Love the battle system. It was confusing at first, running around while picking what commands to use. And no it’s not Kingdom Hearts button smashing thing. But then Gambits came along and that was love. It was pretty easy after that. Mainly, I love the fact that someone in the party could automatically heal me if my HP reaches a certain level. But then, I’m still pretty early on the game that I still don’t have Summons or Limits if ever there’s that in this game. I mean, I’m 15 hours into it, and I’m just level 14+ or something. And I’m just in the second main city that Vaan visits. What’s keeping Vaan busy is the hunting and the running around on errands stuff. That’s what Vaan is! A gofer! XD But I still like him.
But one of the main reasons why I love this game: BALTHIER!!! OMG! Balthier is shexay love! Seriously! Sky pirates are hot. Well, this one is. The talk. The accent. The sway of the hips. Yumm. :P But then, why is it that his stats suck. Well, it’s the same as Vaan’s stats which is really average. But then Fran has even more Attack power than him. But then Fran has the Killer Bow or something while Balthier only has the Iron Sword. XD
Well, yeah, that’s what’s keeping me busy at night. As for the day and weekends: work and laziness. Which is really boring stuff. So I won’t babble about that. XD And I’ll talk more FFXII once I finished everything.
