Doododedodooeode... #18

My brother and sister-in-law are over here right now. They are all crowded around the screen yelling "FUMBLE!!! OFF-SIDES!!!". I love Sundays.

Along with Sundays, I love new terms. No homework. No Tests. No more elective classes that you hate. It's great. And because of my lack of homework, I have almost completed the first disk of Final Fantasy IX. FF9, for those who get tired of typing "Final Fantasy IX" over and over, I have decided is my favorite out of the 4 my brother owns. I haven't beat it yet, I almost did. I got to the third of four disks and my memory card blew up, so here I am, trying to gain my lost time. I have wasted all this time in front of the television trying to get rid of a mutant looking frog-like creature from capturing Princess Garnet. Oh well. I like it.

This game is about war between 3 great nations. Alexandria, Burmecia, and Lindblum. Torn between the nations is the beautiful Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII.

Yes. I am a loser.

These games have occupied most likely half of my life. It's quite sad. I've beaten VII, and VII. I'm really close to X, but I can't beat stupid Seymour. These games are SO addicting once you get into it. I gave IX to my friend a while back, to see if he would like it, and he said it was so boring. I have to admit, you have to get past the first few parts of the game to really get to the good parts. These game are amazingly detailed. People have spent hours and hours perfecting these games. It's so weird to me that people work so hard on something like this.

Honestly, I would kill to be apart of the Final Fantasy series. The character designs are absolutely beautiful if you ever get a chance to look at them. The gaming system is being perfected with every game. And millions enjoy this game all over the world. I've seriously been considering taking classes and going into something pertaining to the creation of the Squaresoft games.

"Final Fantasy IX has been billed as a return to the series' roots, but this is an oversimplification. The roots of the Final Fantasy series have always been appealing characters, an epic story, engaging battles, and an impressive presentation. Elements such as airships, pointy-hatted mages, and crystals have always just been surface symbols, while an emotional tale of humanity in the face of adversity lies at the core of each installment of the series. That's not to say that the return to the older art style is unimportant or without meaning. Final Fantasy VII boosted the role-playing game market on two new continents, and Final Fantasy VIII sold the most copies of any game in the series. Both games were critically acclaimed. So why tinker with a winning formula? The game itself no doubt holds the answer."

Interesting. I have to say, if you want to waste your time when you have nothing to do, check out this game.
