like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
I bought a half price sketchbook and some cheap Pilot and Uni-ball pens because I absolutely need them, right? ;)
Other than that, I've just been at work the past few days, so not been up to much! Other than buying things I don't need, obviously.
So here's the questions I've missed off the Square-Enix meme!
11. What's your most memorable fight from a Square-Enix game?
The first thing that sprang to mind is fighting the Four Fiends in the Tower of Bab-Il in FFIV. The first time I did that, I was chronically underlevelled, and I think I did it so many times before I eventually got through it that I have Battle With The Four Fiends seared into my brain, and hearing it still brings me out in a cold sweat to this day.
12. Who's your favorite character from a Square-Enix game?
CAPTAIN BASCH FON RONSENBERG OF DALMASCA
Oh come on, did you really think I was going to say anyone else? I mean, really?
There are A LOT of characters across all of even just Final Fantasy that I like, but Basch is my favourite from my favourite game ever, so, uh, yeah.
13. What Square-Enix game has your favorite soundtrack?
Final Fantasy XII - it's my go-to to listen to when I don't know what else to put on. And also it just hecking kicks arse.
I love all the FF soundtracks, and I think they're all great (of the ones I've heard, because obviously there is stuff I haven't played), but XII is definitely my most favourite.
14. What Square-Enix game has your favorite character designs or visuals?
At the risk of being the most me I've ever been: FFXII.
I just really like Akihiko Yoshida's art, y'all. And the concept art for XII was the first time I'd ever seen any of his stuff.
And I love the environments, as well. I'm actually surprised I didn't take more screencaps when I was playing through Zodiac Age, because I just love everything about the design in this game! (Also after having seen some gameplay from Vagrant Story, I love how very similar the aesthetic/design is! Although I daresay that was done on purpose, and possibly more than for any other game set in Ivalice? I haven't played FFT, so I can't say for that).
I also think the Fal'Cie designs in the FFXIII games are awesome, but I couldn't tell you why (but I like the summon/god-type designs across all the games, so that's probably a part of it). And again, the environments!
15. How about control? What Square-Enix game do you think is the most fun to play?
What a good question! With regard to Final Fantasy, I prefer the turn based games, and then of those, the RPGs over the strategy games (I love you Tactics Advance, but I am very much No Good at you!)
I think FFX is the most fun, because of the way you can see when an enemy's turn is coming up next, and the fact that you can disrupt that in a visible way, and then see how many turns you have until the next move by that enemy. It feels a lot more interactive to me than just smacking an enemy until it dies, which is what I usually do in video games.
Final Fantasy aside, probably Bust-A-Move! I just really like matching games because it pleases my brain.

I do like that of the people on my reading list doing this meme, while we have similar opinions about a lot of things, none of us have the same favourite FF game :D which is great! I love seeing y'all squeeing about the things you love about your favourite games! Which I guess is part of the point of the meme to begin with!

What? That's what Puzzle Bobble got renamed in the UK for who knows what flipping reason.

It has been interesting, hasn't it? :D (My FFVII fangirlness is showing so hard and I regret nothing. XD) One of things I've found is that it's really reminding me of what I've loved about a lot of games that I don't normally think about, which I can see being very expensive for me in future...

I love your VII fangirling! It makes me so happy seeing everyone gush about the stuff they love.
