as if i'm stuck in a loop
Ungh. Really cannot be bothered with el jay right now >.<

So I beat Ahriman on the first go? How on earth did that happen?! (Well, Penelo and Basch were level 40, so...that may have helped somewhat). For those of you new to this, or totally forgot what I was doing with this playthrough, Penelo's my tank and Basch is my healer. Balthier is my black/time mage (although, as usual, I'm not really using black magic because I really can't be arsed to set up the gambits, and I don't have all the necessary gambit-tech-thingies anyway). Fran is my green mage/alternate tank.
I'm not using Vaan or Ashe because I don't want to, and I don't have. And I dislike them both intensely. Which is a shame, really. I wanted to like Ashe despite her terrible taste in clothing.
Weapons are chosen to avoid defaults where possible thus:
~ Penelo was using a sword, she's now using a bow. Although all the bows are as big as, if not bigger than she is, and that looks kind of ridiculous.
~ Basch is using a hammer (or axe) mainly because they give him a massive strength boost and he hits stuff and they die, lol.
~ Balthier is using a pole, and I LOVE his animation for it - he tucks it under his arm when waiting, and tends to twirl it before hitting enemies. I've forgotten what I had him using before then.
~ Fran is using spears. Sadly because she's now close range, she dies so, so easily. She is very squishy.
Also I am at Archades for the first time, and I have close to 50K in gil. This is mainly from Balthier having the thief's cuffs, and stealing awesome stuff pretty much all the time. My best steal so far was a recursive crossbow from a bomb in the Stilshrine.

Going to be doing some work on the not!studio this weekend \o/ I am so, so excited and I don't even have the space yet!
