(no subject)

So, I finally got my official letter from grad school. Or, as [livejournal.com profile] seryan put it, the Central Bureaucracy. :p Of course, there's some confusion because the person I'd been in contact with is missing from the list of possible supervisors...

My high school chemistry teacher called today. He wanted to talk to my parents about my little brother going on a camping trip when he passed out in class today. Fogarty was very excited that I'm going to grad school in chemistry. AND he didn't call me by the wrong name, which ALWAYS impresses me. People frequently think I'm my sister on the phone. They used to think I was my brother too, before his voice changed. :p

I also played more Kingdom Hearts, which I love to itty bitty pieces. I went to Agrabah! Nostalgia ahoy! (Even if it annoys me that the female characters keep getting used as plot points for the villains to abduct...) Still, ridiculously fun game.

Though I'm already starting to hate Winnie the Pooh and his EVIL MINIGAMES OF HARD. :p

I think Nomura was mad at someone during the minigame planning part of the game development. Possibly one of the game testers.

And you don't have a choice. The game forces you to put her in your party. And then they purposely lock Donald and Goofy out of the battles and you're left to fight oodles of Heartless essentially all on your own because "Ping" doesn't do anything to help. And you have to fight them quickly because she starts using items.

She starts being useful once she stops the whole cross dressing thing.

Hee. Just wait until Kh2. I think he was on cough syrup or something for most of that game.

She still uses them. I don't know where she gets them, but she still uses them. As soon as she loses a health point. I HATE it. The only good point is that as soon as she turns back into Mulan, you gain the ability to do combos with her and she and Sora have an attack called Red Sky that takes down lots of HP. Not as much as Riku and Sora's combo move, but still quite a bit. (I love the Riku/Sora combo move. It takes down entire Hp BARS.)

All's End ROCKS. I love it.

And I sincerely wish Riku was allowed to help you out whle fighting Sephiroth.

We're possibly gonna go in on Final Mix + together if it comes out here. And i really want it to...i want another chance to actually beat Chain of Memories. The fact that its 3D is an added bonus ^_^

That and more Riku screentime (with his new Zexion fight and all during his part in CoM)

Words cannot express how happy I am about Final Mix. I hated the battle system in that game, but it had a good storyline.

And my favorite Nobody wasn't dead.

I just hope its not one big rumor (i mean...theres plenty of demand for it here...although demand and SE dont mix all the time).

Supposively its coming out in the fall...but theres no real solid confirmation about it...so dont take my word for it.

Actually, I saw it mentioned in a Gamepro magazine and they talked as if it were definte.

Well...until i see an official SE press release...i dont believe squat.

Lol. If you don't get your hopes up, you can't be disappointed?

[identity profile] squallhighwind.livejournal.com 2007-05-09 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly ^_^

Phew...i thought i sounded a bit condescending in that last post...glad to see you didnt see it that way.

[identity profile] byakuganchick.livejournal.com 2007-05-09 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. ^_^

I'm still hoping for it, though.

Same here. Fighting Zexion alone would make me happy. The whole book as a weapon thing seems cool.

Axel!

Or Marluxia. He always reminds me of Aya from Furuba.

[identity profile] squallhighwind.livejournal.com 2007-05-09 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Marluxia's in-game fight for KH2 is pretty original. Giving you a number of hits based on your level seems like an awesome challenge.

and of course...Axel is pwnage...plain and simple ^_^

Axel, Demyx and Xigbar are the three coolest Nobodies EVER. I hope they come back somehow.

Axel is so Reno. And Demyx is Zell. Xigbar, unfortunately, has a backstory so I can't claim he's anyone. But personally I see him as Gippal from X-2. They even have the same eyepatch!

[identity profile] squallhighwind.livejournal.com 2007-05-09 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
They even have the same taste in weaponry...albiet Gippal's gun is a LOT bigger...and does a lot more.

Xaladin is basically any Dragoon character on crack. :P

Tee-hee. Xigbar and Gippal comparing guns is hilarious.
"Mine's bigger!"
"Yeah, well, mine looks cooler!"
"Mine does more stuff!"
"I can defy gravity!"
"I get to hang around Baralai."
*silence* "You win."

Yay for Crack!

XD

Crack is good. It does wonders for the soul.

All hail the Great And Powerful Crack!
