Final Fantasy Tactics PSP trailer asla;sdlkdfkajs;dlfkasjd!!!!!!!!!!! ♥

So, I thought I should post at least once before the new year came around, but I haven't really heard anything that I thought post worthy until this. (I tend to just fangirl to people on IM see.) But since Ari (who left me the link) is currently not online, and neither is Mich or Chris (who get the blunt of my gaming fangirl squees), then I now have reason to post! Yey?

Since it was released during the Jump Festa, which I believe was held a week ago, this is probably old news. But I have been stuck under a rock playing Lineage 2 and Final Fantasy 12, so you'll excuse me if I fangirl belatedly.

I still think the character in FF13 Versus is hot, but FFT is my greatest Final Fantasy love. One of the reasons why I was looking forward to FF12 before its release was because it was set in Ivalice (even if it was going to be entirely separate from FFT), though I now like FF12 for very different reasons. The game has just given me yet another reason why I will go a;sdlfkasdj over any new game they release that they deem worthy to set in Ivalice.

But anywaaaay, even if it's just a remake (WHERE IS OUR SEQUEL??? FFT Advance does not count. >:EEEE) I still want to play. Time to buy a PSP. D:

In Final Fantasy 12 news, I am almost done with the game. I had expected the Ridorana Cataract to be the second to the last dungeon, and it apparently is. Since the last dungeon won't allow me to leave once I enter it, I'm trying to finish all my hunts and gather the optional espers before entering. Except my party is level 59 and one of the rare games in the deeper reaches of the Lhusu mines nearly wiped out my party. I only realized after I'd ran away and exited the mines, that I completely forgot to change battle tactics while taking it on. (The game is so unbelievably easy most of the time that I tend to not bother outside of the normal attacking, buffing, healing, etc.). Must go back and take revenge! >:E

A more detailed game blog once I finish it I guess. I'm looking to finish the game before 2007, since I'll be busy in January and I'd hate to leave it hanging.

(I should really remember to go back and change my voice set next time I'm at HQ.)

♠ I did a search in google for my name to see what incriminating things people would stumble upon if they ever decided to search for it, and I happened upon really old ML archives, like the Pinoy Otaku Fanfiction Mailing List. Aaah! Those were the days. It was amusing to read posts from people I did not know back then and whom I've now known for years. kitsune_jade cugami (oh back in the days when you were using michiru) balatstar slaves team7 charlesatan, and a lot of other people that I'm no longer in touch with. This archive dates all the way back to 2000! It's almost embarassing to read. :D Man, I don't even want to dig through the POML or the PYML, I bet it'd be even more embarassing.

♠ Anyway, back to my initial dilemma that led me to this abomination of the past. I promised a cousin I'd share a bunch of stuff with him, except it's a bit too big to send via email, so I need to upload it to the web. I don't particularly want my cousin to trace my activities online (he knows I like yaoi, but he's younger than me and I'm trying to be a proper older cousin here that's trying very hard to keep from corrupting her younger cousin. He's asked me a number of times to see my yaoi manga, and I'm like just.. NO. My field of corruption has its limits.)

Back to the point, would anyone know of a free redirect service that hides even the URL while you're downloading stuff? It would be kind of useless for me to mask my main URL, when he'd find out my domain anyway once he downloads the files. I realize I'm being overly cautious, but well, I do like to keep some things in my life separate, this being one of them.

♠ So I finally got around to watching Advent Children, because I really needed HDD space. The moment I fangirled over the most? When Marlene hides under Vincent's cape. So cute. :D It's really just one huge, very pretty "canon fanfic" (gotta love how SquareEnix forces oxymorons on you), isn't it? Also watched the movies AonE released from the Dirge of Cerberus game. It was fun enough to watch, but I ask, wtf is up with that last scene after the credits with Gackt? =///// *is so disturbed!*

♠ Finished Suikoden V a few days ago. As luck would have it, my tv's picture tube gave out just as I was in the final dungeon. So I had to move rooms just to finish the game. I pretty much rushed through the last leg without bothering to level/fix equipment, since I just wanted to see the ending. The last dungeon was a bit of a pain to get through because of it, but at least I finished it. XD Though now without my tv, my gaming hours have been cut back considerably. Redoing the last leg to level characters up some more (I haven't played with everyone yet!), and to make more potch for new game+.
