Whyyyyyyy can't I get to sleep?

^ I just try one thing. Lying down in the dark. It's pretty restful.

^ Yeah. Maybe put some tissues where you can reach them without getting up?

^ Just paper, then?

Discarding clothes because old when you can't actually afford to replace them with anything is pretty silly.

I spilled tea. Now wet. And FFTA2 is sold out.

I always have mixed feelings about that game.

As far as classes, battle, story goes, it is great.

But there is so much not-playing involved. Like, why hide the result of a crafted item from the player? The player will just save and reset if the result isn't what they like. And even if it is something good, they will want to see every possible outcome from their materials in case the possibilities are even better.

And then you get missions that have a lot of neutral NPCs on the board and the game has to wait for them to wait. They shouldn't even be part of the the mission if they don't do anything on their turns. Especially when there are like ten of them.

Another nitpick is with the Final Fantasy series in general, but more so with modern games as graphics become fancier. When you hit multiple enemies with a spell, I don't think you need to display the graphic and the resulting effect before moving onto the next affected target. Every victim or beneficiary should be affected in a rolling succession with about a half second delay or something. It's not like the player won't be able to see the numbers in time.

Aside from that, the actual core game is great. It is a fine successor to the original FFTA. Of the two additional races, I enjoyed Gria a fair amount.

^ The Ravager can swing so hard she needs to take a nap? :3

Awwww! That's so sweet!

^ I can bring misfortune. :3

^ Aww. I already have the dry ink and everything.

^ People don't have to avoid eachother or anything just for that. Maybe it was convenient.

^ They planned it this way twentyseven years ago?
