A Post-Victory Posting

Okay, I'm dragging myself away now to do some much-needed writing, so wish me luck. :)

One last thing, though - I've finally gotten around to posting chapter one of my very first Mirage of Blaze fic up on ff.net. Anyone who's interested may find it here. Don't worry, FF is still my priority.

Speaking of FF, I have triumphed over Final Fantasy X-2, after much suffering of estrogen-overdose, much frustrated shrieking, several disappointingly easy final battles, and an ending which - while still not the joy that FFX, FFVII and FFVIII were - made it all worthwhile. But remind me to never again play a game with only female playable characters, okay?

Luck!

*ggg*

Oh, new fic! Will take it with me for bedtime reading. :)

I finally caved and bought myself a PS3 60GB - one of those that can play the PS1 and PS2 games. So I fear that I'm going to get sucked into playing more than I should. *sigh*

*eyes piles of work on desk*

Then again...

I'd rather write smut. ^^

Well done! Now I suppose I have to go finish Mirage of Blaze... But, never fear! I shall do it! Just as soon as I finish Inuyasha, and Hetalia, and FMA: Brotherhood, and... Good god, I have to go watch anime!
Meh, games with female leads are never quite as good as ones with male leads. What can I say, something about the angsty cute leads just makes a game better then their over-peppy slutty-dressing female counterparts. Except Samus Aran, she kicks major ass!

Ooooh, MoB. *goes to check it out*

*sighs* I should really stop procrastinating on my essay...

And now I will reccommend both Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Symphonia. ^-^ Good games. Very good games.

Tales of the Abyss is for the PS2 and Tales of Symphonia is for the gamecube. ^-^

PS2, my platform! Ooh, Tales of the Abyss looks neat...

It is. And it has lots of pretty bishies. And the king of the Deadpan Snarkers: Jade. My god, I love that man.

やって終わったおめでとう、アマリッシャ!

Or, "Congrads on beating it, Amarissia!"

OOOOOH.

Yatte...*defeated by kanji*...atta omedetou, amarishia...

HEE! Thank you!

I must spend more time keeping the kana memorized, it gives me such a surge of glee to be able to read it... :)

The kanji reads as "owatta" and is the past-positive form of "owaru" or to "end/finish" The "yatte" is from the very "yaru" or to do (really informal/for non-living things) but also "yaru" as in "geemu yaru" or "play a game." So, it goes into "For playing it and finishing it, congrads, Amarissia." It's not proper written Japanese though, since it's written as one might say it. Hope this helps! :)

SQUEE, yes, it does. Thank you. And verbs I actually know! YAY!

You're welcome. (^u^)

Don't ever play a game with only female playable characters.;)

Thank you! :)

Never bothered with X-2, the concept of more Rikku made me run a mile, but FFXII eased the pain. Staring at Balthier's ass as I explore makes up for the points in the game where you are forced to use Vaan. And NOBODY is as annoying as Rikku, even if the female costumes scream male fanservice even more than Lulu's victory pose. Especially Fran (who rocks even so)

Oh, a XII fan, huh? I played that one to the end, but sadly I didn't much enjoy it. The lack of Nomura-designed characters prejudiced me against it from the outset. I pretty much clung to Balthier, the one character I liked, to get through it. :)
