So I spent the day playing FFIV. Have I mentioned recently that it is my favourite game? Because it is. I have lost count how many times I've played in the last five years, I think I might have even played it more than I have VII (I know I've played both more than there are save files, because I kept saving over the IV file because for some weird reason it takes up two blocks, and that's a lot of space on a fifteen block memory card).

Also the last time I played it, I played the DS remake (which I don't hate, and it has its advantages, but I prefer the original*). So it is about time I played this version again c:

Maybe this time I will finish it! (Ha ha, famous last words. I keep telling myself I'll fight every random encounter and then running like fuck when I get tired or bored**). Maybe this time I will get to Zeromus on this version, and maybe even remember to block before he does Big Bang!

Nowt like being optimistic, eh?

Also: nightmare fuel in music form! Battle With The Four Fiends! Seriously, even though I actually like it a heap, it always - without fail - makes me remember the fight in the Tower of Bab-Il and losing like a loser versus Valvalis (I'd call her her proper name but that I can't spell it, and she'll always be Valvalis to me). Without fail. I hate that fight.

Although talking of fiends, Scarmiligone (sp?) went down oh so easily to Porom and Tellah spamming Fira at him. IT WAS AWESOME.

*Which yes, OK. It's the PSX version and not the SNES one but apart from a couple of things, they are pretty much the same.

**This is why I hate enforced grinding. Because as much as I enjoy RPGs, levelling actually bores the crap out of me after a while.
