Where I Currently Am(Dissidia): Time to revisit Distant Glory and Shade Impulse to get 100%.

Stuff Did Today (FF X-2): Zanarkand, the goal of all summoners. Or at least it was when there were summoners. Now, it is a haven for the tourists of Spira. Who guides them through all this history you ask? Well, Isaaru of course. Even though he never got to make it on his own here. Also, we got to meet the Kinderguardians, a group of children led my Isaaru's old guardian, Pacce. They fancy themselves sphere hunters. Who's profitting from all this you ask? Well, who other than Cid.  Anyway, we delved deep into the ruins and found a broken sphere...

After that, I went back into the Fiend Arena to try and get the data for a few more groups... however the old Shell Shocker was not really up to the task... so, I figured it was time to move on...

So, anyway, back in Kilika Woods, there's an AWESOME sphere, and both New Yevon and the Youth League are after it.... and now the Gullwings are too... this is going to go wonderfully.

Stuff Did Today(Dissidia): None

Status & Notes: 

Amazing what they've done to Zanarkand, eh? Yeah... let's just say it... the story in X-2 is not really the greatest... in fact it is pretty bad. There's really two main threads to the story. The first being the "conflict" between the Youth League and New Yevon... if you've played the game you'll understand the quotes. Its really just an excuse to drive some of the missions along... and enable the whole New Game + thing. Really, it wouldn't be so bad if EVERYONE in Spira hadn't joined up with one of the two groups in a span of two years... okay, fine, everyone but Wakka. Seriously, the Calm must be boring if everyone turns to politics. The other thread of the plot... well, we'll talk about that tomorrow.

So, anyway, today, we'll be finishing up Chapter 1 in X-2... not sure what else we'll be doing. We'll just see how it goes. Also, a quick happy birthday to my brother!
