Stuff Did Today (FF X-2): Over on Mt. Gagazet, Kimahri was still having some issues. He hadn't found any spheres for Yuna, but he's not allowed to go into the Fayth Scar... even though he went there during Yuna's pilgrimage... whatever. So, after talking to all the Ronso in the area, we headed up there. Some of Leblanc's goons had gone up there too, and in fact found a hot spring. We were able to scare them off and splash around a bit before confiscating a Leblanc uniform.

We next headed over to Kilika, where the strife between New Yevon and the Youth League was still high... we weren't able to even get into the village. So, instead we headed to Zanarkand where the dome had been closed off to tourists due to monkey infestation... we decided to help out, by pairing the monkeys with their soulmates to make even more monkeys!!! Mwa ha ha ha ha/

Finally, we headed back to Besaid to start doing some PR campaigning... but first we decided to take on Beclem's challenge again and see how far we could get... it took a while but we were able to achieve the max level of the Gunner's Gauntlet!

Stuff Did Today(Dissidia): None

Status & Notes: 

Alright, so this is going to be the last update for a couple days. I leave tonight to start driving down to Florida. I'll put up basically a placeholder post at some point, but I won't be able to get any more playtime until Sunday. As I've said before, while I'm away for the next 2 weeks or so, it is just going to be Dissidia, and FF XI if I finish Dissidia while I'm out.

Okay, with that taken care of, lets talk about today. As I hoped, I was able to get most of the remaining Chapter 2 activities done. All that's left is to do the PR/Marraige stuff and then go get the last uniform before doing the end 2 missions of Chapter 2.

I spent a lot of time playing the Gunner's Gauntlet today. This I find to be a pretty fun minigame, especially as you get to the higher levels. Basically as you go through, you start to get different kinds of enemies, who drop different powerups. They also come alot quicker. You have to be very careful if you just want to get to the end, let alone with a high score. In fact, getting a high score requires you to kind of stay in one spot for quite a while building up ammo and maintaining your chain, until you can move forward at the very end. Getting the final high score took me quite a few tries... you basically need a perfect run to get it.

One other thing to talk about today... the gratuitous Hot Spring scene! So let's see, we've got an RPG with an all female main cast... so obviously we have to get them in their bathing suits at some point right... and we have to have Rikku going around telling everyone how good everyone looks??? Obviously, Rikku would be pretty popular if they ever had colleges in Spira. Yeah, there's really not much else to say about this. It is what it is.

So, for a couple days I bid you all adieu. Will be back in a couple days!
