Where I Currently Am: End-Game Side-Quests
Stuff Did Today:  Followed the Queen of Cards all around the world, getting her father to create the last few cards we needed for our collection... then continued on to move her to Shumi Village where she can stay during Time Compression... then I helped out a little alien to get the final card ever. Next I solved the mystery of Obel Lake to get a Luck Junction scroll. Then, I went over to Esthar and beat up on some Elnoyles to level up my good GF friend Siren and get the final materials to level up my weapons... finally I went back over to that research lab where Bahamut was... and am taking a look at what's underneath...

Status & Notes: 

Yay, lot of play time today, and did some interesting things. First, I finished Chocobo World.... well I beat the final boss. I never did get my hands on any Ribbons... but I don't know if I'm going to take the effort to try and get some... at least right now. Maybe if I ever came back to the game, but who knows.

Next, I finished up some of the more annoying side quests in the game. Namely, the ones involving the Queen of Cards. It is only annoying because there is so much randomness. I used the method to move her where I lose a rare card and win it back... which takes more time because you have to wait for her to play the card you lost to her and then hope she goes to the place you want her to after you win it back. Probably took me 9 attempts to get her to move from Esthar to Shumi Village... probably an hour and a half total.

So, all that's left is for me to finish up getting some magics to perfect my Junctions... I have a few spells I'd like to get and will do so. Also, there's a few abilities I want to get... namely Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell... so I will do that too. All this is prep for Omega Weapon later. then, I will take out Ultima Weapon and head over to Lunatic Pandora. Now, I'm sure you're expecting me to say that you should expect the completion data today, but I have something else I'm working on and am not sure I'm going to get the play time I need to finish up today, it will most likely be tomorrow. I would, however, like to be back in the main plot moving towards the end of the game by today... so we will see how that goes...
