Status & Notes: 

Still not finished with Disc 2... ugh... but all the sidequests are done at least... well, except for finishing Chocobo World... but I'm not planning on having that done til near the end of the game. So, that's okay. Time to get back to plot now though...

I've talked alot about how this game is really endlessly customizable. Its at this point of the game where that becomes incredibly apparent. Not only can you basically collect any item in the game from Chocobo World, but you can basically learn any GF abilitiy really quickly from the Cactuars... go level however you want. The only things you can't do are just limited by the plot, your characters are basically as customizable as you could want now...

So, goals for today. FINISH DISC 2!!! I mean, really, I did underestimate how long all these sidequests would take me, but still... yikes... so, let's see how it goes...
