(no subject)

You might or might not want to know this, but from tonight, I'm going to start making posts as I play through FFXII for YES, THE FIFTH TIME.

I am only in Nalbina Dungeon right now, and the amount of things I have noted/want to say is incredible for me. I dare say it helped that I'm reading through Livvy's FFXII/International Zodiac Job System* posts, AND that I am reading the posts on moogle_university (which is, let's be fair, what started this because I couldn't not comment, and then I was like, DANG).

So I'm mentioning this because:

~ I thought you'd like to know
~ if you're not interested, you can scroll past OR GET THIS: there is a way to block tags on here, but I don't know it. So you can effectively block all my posts (which will be tagged with jae plays ffxii. I was going to go with something more sarcastic, but what do you know I can't think of anything).

Don't expect masses of commentary or coherency or clever stuff because that's just not me. Most of it will probably be "huh, never noticed THAT before". Probably.

Right. I'm off to free mah Landisian boyfriend!

Start to Bhujerba ---->

*I want to play this version SO BADLY. Apparently XII gets an HD release if X/X-2 HD sell well, so maybe, like those two, XII's version will be the international release.

spare us your quiddities!

(Subject line is my favourite quote of Balthier's. I thought he said it to someone else, but no, he says it Vaan).

OK so before I start, let me tell you that I am two episodes behind everyone else on Kill la Kill (no spoilers, thanks!) and I got SO DISTRACTED by FFXII, that I actually forgot to catch up today. I also have no interest in catching up tomorrow, either (I'll do it while I'm working instead :D )

(I love being self-employed. I can watch TV while I work and no-one tells me not to because I'M THE FREAKING BOSS).

*ahem*

Preliminary notes:

- this is the game that got me into Akihiko Yoshida's artwork and Hitoshi Sakimoto's music. Not a surprise, I know. I think both of them are equally awesome. I am sad that I wasn't more Yoshida's art at the time I was doing my HND because damn it would've been hilarious to see what my tutors made of his stuff (especially the one who had Opinions about what was and wasn't art and frankly as far as I am still concerned six years later, can go fuck himself).

SO THAT SAID, on with other stuff that may be spoilers! (From the start to arrival at Bhujerba - though there are spoilers for later game things, due to stuff I've been reading, so be warned).

And now I am at Bhujerba.
