the dice were loaded from the start
Two things:
1. I had a blood test recently, and it turns out I'm really anaemic, which is fun! Though apparently my iron levels are better than they were a year ago, but not by much.
So I am sitting here munching pumpkin seeds, and hoping that helps a bit.
2. I beat FFXIII-2 earlier! I was literally at the end of the game anyway, so it wasn't that difficult. I was expecting the boss fights to be more difficult, but I'd been following my game guide, so was way more levelled than I might have been had I not been using it. Anyway, they were pretty much a breeze, except for the final final one, which has three bosses (you know, because one is not enough), and that took me two goes. But only because I wasn't really paying attention the first time (though that fight is really gimmicky).
I'm sad that Serah's died, although I knew it was coming, so it didn't make me cry. I was kind of mad that Sazh only appears at the end (I really liked him in FFXIII), although again, I knew he wasn't in the game much. And Vanille and Fang aren't in it at all, so pfffbbbbbttttt.
I started doing Lightning's DLC, but it's really boring? I've died versus Caius three times now or something. And I've levelled up and gained a job, and I think I've figured out how to fight him, but I really don't know??? And having 25,000 HP is nice and all, but not so much when your opponent is a cheating bastard.
I hope Snow's isn't this boring. (I didn't buy Sazh's because I didn't have the credit at the time).
Now to play Lightning Returns, I guess! (I think the mechanics of the game are going to drive me loopy, but I'm in it for the costumes, man).
Now if you'll excuse me, I am off to chew on Tony Stark.

no subject
I like everyone in FFXIII, but Sazh was one of my faves, so I was really disappointed that there wasn't more of him.
I would've been the same, had I not been following the Piggyback guide (I'd already played through once when I got the game, then I restarted with the guide, and this was that playthrough). But yes! The music for that fight is the best!
No, I didn't like it either. Like, in some stories, there would be at least a chance that her death could be postponed, or that there was some get-out clause. And then that she just died the way she did at the end of the game? Nope.
middle entries in trilogies are always my least favorite -- they're always more entwined with the final chapter than with the first, on account of the latter entries typically being planned together after the first has been successful, and they're always downers.
*nods* I agree (though I can think of film exceptions, but for the most part yup, totally).
