on second thoughts, let's not go to Oerba

I meant to say thanks to everyone who left a comment on the "what do I add to Windows/Firefox" post. It was super useful, and I appreciate your help.

[personal profile] lassarina linked to this interview with Hitoshi Sakimoto, where he talks about composing the soundtrack for FFXII. It isn't very in-depth, but it is interesting all the same.

Some FFXIII thoughts:

I'm currently in Oerba and I hate the boss at the end of this section. Even more so than the one at end of the Palamecia, even though I one-shotted them without even trying a few weeks ago! This isn't even a humblebrag, this is my amazement that it even happened.

I can't believe it's taken me less than 35 hours to get here, because when I've played it before, it's felt like a much longer game than this. But since I've been playing it fairly consistently, that's likely why.

I am still using the Whistlewind Scarf + Axis Blade combo for Lightning, though I have upgraded neither thing since I got them on the Palamecia, because I still don't really understand how upgrading works (I'm never sure if you want overspill EXP or not). Maybe I should look a video up on youtube? I'm sure one exists. I ought to, as one thing the upcoming boss fight relies on is you having upgraded your weapons, in my experience.

I haven't really done any grinding, as I haven't felt the need to. I think I did a little bit to get Hope and Vanille necessary cure spells, but past that, nothing (though it might be a plan to get Vanille Curaja before this boss fight). It's felt easier playing than it has on past occasions, and I don't know if that's me being better at games than I used to be, or what it is. But I'm happy. I'm glad certain games don't feel like a battle to play, because I want to have fun when I'm playing games! That's why I play them!

I think that's all I really wanted to say; I thought I had something more in depth than this, but apparently not!

In other news, I finally downloaded chapters 1 and 2 of Deltarune, so I can get to that at some point in the future! Or I might just forget I've got it, and it will collect dust on my harddrive!
