the greatest thing that i possess
I missed another question, principally because I've been having trouble coming up with an answer. I've sort of got one now, so here we go.

Do you know what? I don't think I want a prequel or a sequel to any FF game. Mainly because all the ones I can think of that I'd like sequels for have them (IV, X, XII, XIII - though I'm not sure I wanted sequels to XIII, but I am hella glad that XIII-2 exists because I LOVE it). And I'm not so interested in prequels because, to some degree, it all leads to a forgone conclusion. Unless it's set in the distant past and...I don't know if there are any games where I'm interested in that.
THAT SAID. I do kind of wish we'd got Fortress instead of Revenant Wings for a sequel to XII, primarily because - and I am TOTALLY biased - it would have been Basch as the player character. I doubt I would have liked it, based on what I read about it, but I don't like Revenant Wings. I don't like the direction the story goes in (though that's more to do with where the characters end up than what actually happens in the plot). Also I am hilariously rubbish at strategy games! I do not do strategy, it is alien to me, despite having now played three FF games that use it as the method of play. Remember, I am the person who went into a boss fight without buying any armour or weapons for my character, and then was surprised when I was flattened by said boss. That was in a main series FF game.
But otherwise, I'm pretty pleased with the stories in the main games that we were given. I don't want to know more about most of the characters or worlds. (And if I did, I'd just write fanfic, tbh).

I thought I had stuff to say, but it mostly consisted of people I know being arseholes (one unintentionally, the other I'm not sure about). So let's not, eh?
Oh, but the other day I awoke at 5am because brains! (I think it was anxiety about taking the cat to the vet, but honestly who knows). I stayed up and read twitter for an hour, and then attempted to fall back asleep. This did not happen, because not long after, the cat decided she was starving. I decided to ignore her, and proceeded to fall into a state where I knew I was not fully asleep, nor was I fully conscious. And I had a dream. A fairly immersive dream, at that given that I also knew my arm was hanging over the side of my bed, and my face was planted into the mattress. If that's ever happened before I don't remember it.
Anyway, I thought it was kind of interesting and slightly weird.
(The cat is fine, by the by. The vet took her blood, even though I'd been told that wasn't going to happen. Her thyroid levels are OK, still, so the medication hasn't gone up. Which is good, because apparently we're about to hit the maximum payout by the insurance company so a financial ouch is on its way, I guess. She has also put on weight since last time, which is good! She's almost back at the weight she was when she came back after being missing.
Again, we don't have to back for three months so yaaaaay!)
