Final Fantasy XIII (1 playthough)

...BAD END........



Well, according to other people, its the temporary solution as they release more DLC with more scenarios. I guess some people aren't happy about it. I admit I was a little surprised and disappointed how short the main storyline was, although thinking again I think its perfect; I should be getting mkII by the end of this week so having finished off FFXIII (as short as it is) I can freshly start mkII, while doing the Final Fantasy miniquests in the meantime.

Yes, until then, I will play dress up with Serah. UPDATE DOWNLOAD FASTER SO I CAN MAKE SERAH WEAR SPIFFY COSTUMES

EDIT: DAMMIT there's no Serah costume outfit yet. :|

FFXIII-2 (Unfinished)

Nexton is a freakin beast, and I didn't even optimize it with all mana drops/crystals whatever either...

And its just a tiny bug thing!


...just as planned...

In the meantime, still trying to get Serah as buffed up as possible. :V

Interviews

Somehow I got interview questions even though I never told anyone about this site. What? I guess they're bots at asking interview questions? :|

Man, I guess we're not going to use computers to generate equations which govern the whole world any time soon... :|

Oh Markham. :V I want 1 billion pounds too!

ゆめのかたち

OH MY GOD

THIS SONG IS GREAT

I'M... I'M... CRYING ;o;

(note, currently not in an emotionally stable state due to various pressures provided in academia, your results my vary)

"The Form of a Dream".

水色と宇宙船

HOLY CRAP THE CUTENESS

天ノ弱 MMD

Almost makes me want to learn how to MMD!!!!

Anyway MMD cup so a bunch of MMD videos are popping up. This song is really cool, why do I not have this on my phone yet? :V

イカサマライフゲイム

8-bit openings are pretty cool.

VOCALROCK isn't exactly my favorite genre but I think the melody for this song is done pretty well. GUMI sounds quite all right in this song too. Staccato notes, yay!

This name... seems pretty hard for me to interpret. Let's try with rikai-kun:

"Ikasama Life Game", or trickery life game? Hmm. Seems like it can work.

FFXIII-2 (Still Starting)

So there's this option to replay stages and give different answers (to watch different interactions/cinematics), and one of those times is when Noel asks Serah who Snow is.

Of course, there are the logical answers like "Leader of our group", "my boyfriend", etc...

The second playthrough of that, a new one popped up.

Noel: So... who is this Snow person?
Serah: Oh? He's my cat!
Noel:...the leader your militia group is a cat?

...:V Oh Serah. (And yes apparently she has a cat which she named after Snow)

=====

My typical Serah.

In the cinematics:

"Oh I'm so weak and I need Noel and Snow to protect me and help me I'm so fragile! *faint* "

In actual battle:

"FIRAGA" *Things blow up, enemies get OHKO'd, the whole screen is full of explosives*


After battle:

"...I feel kind of sorry for them. :("



If only I could insert "maniac yandere laughter" while she is attacking.

Notebook

I liked how the song started off but I kind of got disappointed as it went further in. In particular, I actually wasn't really happy how GUMI's voice turned out when she started her vocals... the guitar is kind of intruding too. The piano was really great, why did they have to tune it out with other stuff like the guitar?? ;o;

Crowdsourcing

Interesting. Not directly related to my research but I feel like they have things I may want to investigate later. I was always interested in Seung's work.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 (starting)

So, I had a lot of things scheduled to do since this month coming up is going to be a busy one with midterms, projects, and my phd to think about.


uh, I totally forgot everything I was going to do.

OMG SERAH IS SO MOE
