Somebody is likin' it, and I don't even like action-RPG's. I like how I can just focus on choosing attacks and Zack will run around by himself; that makes it playable for me.

How the hell did that missile-blocking mini-game thing work? I thought I was smashing every one of them, hitting it when I heard that noise the game said to listen for, but then Turk-face was all, "That was atrocious," afterwards.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It does seem like they tried to make it an action game so it appeals to a more general audience, but then dumbed down the action parts so that people who are used to turn-based/menu-based games can handle the game. They should have just made it exactly like FFVII and nobody would be disappointed, though many would criticize a lack of innovation. I think that's all Squenix aims for these days: random innovation.

I'm still playing this game, though, because the story is interesting and the gameplay isn't quite too difficult or boring to prevent me from proceeding to the next cut scene.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So I just got this e-mail:

Dear Jochie,

Congratulations! You have been selected as one of 10 winners for the
SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS? CRISIS CORE ?FINAL FANTASY VII? Official Soundtrack
Sweepstakes.
As a result of a random drawing, which took place on May 1, 2008, you
are selected to receive one copy of the CRISIS CORE ?FINAL FANTASY VII?
Official Soundtrack autographed by composer Takeharu Ishimoto.

Is this a super rare thing to have? Can I sell it on E-bay for millions of dollars?

I lost interest in the game, but I think I'll play again someday. I definitely want to finish the story. Plus, any game with a shirtless Zack doing squats is worth a full playthrough.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
