Stuff Did Today(Final Fantasy Tactics): Nothing

Stuff Did Today(FF X): So, Tidus went and talked to Yuna, and half-heartedly tried to talk her out of finishing her pilgrimage... then they made out and stuff... Kimarhi watched... anyway, we made it to mini-game land!!! I mean the Calm Land. Here, Auron says many summoners lose their way... and why not when you can do Chocobo Racing and get started in the Monster Arena?!?!? Well, after training a chocobo and practicing some racing, we decided to cross the plains... but oops, Belgemine is around for another round of Aeon Dueling. Bahamut once again trumped all, so now we have the Aeon Soul... Finally we made it to Mt. Gagazet, home of the Ronso. Here, Kelk Ronso is back to lead the Ronso after leaving Yevon. They at first wanted to deny us entry, Yuna being a traiter and all, but then Yuna called Kelk a hypocrite and they let us pass... except for Kimahri, Biron and Yenke were still picking on him... so, Kimahri beat them up...

Status & Notes:

And so I pass Tactics Advance in play time... heh, its okay, I've finally worked out that the PS3 games are going to be getting the strong push and I'll do the side games when I can't play the PS3 games... you know, as I side game would imply... and then when I'm done we finish the side games before moving on.

Oh, those cruel FF X minigames... the Chocobo Races are probably one of the most infamous for being cruelly difficult. After all, you're looking for a total time of 0.0. I don't know if I really got all that close in any of my practices... if you look at the Current Setup, I listed my best time which is 8.8 so far... or 3 balloons too short... or 3 less bird hits. Really you have to pretty much not get hit by ANY birds which is very very difficult... not to mention got a start where there are some balloons on the right side, so you can actually get them... sigh... I don't particularly look forward to finishing this one...which will actually be pretty soon.

We also went through one of the most memorable cutscenes from FF X. That being the one where Yuna and Tidus are swimming together at Lake Macalania. So, of course I was particularly interested in how they did with it in the Remastered Version. I have to say, as with all the cutscenes in this version, it was very well done. It looks great, and the music sounded wonderful.

Alright, time to talk Tactics... today's race is Viera. Finally, we have two different ones that can be sent on Dispatches... so we can actually spread the classes out between the two. Gelazela will be my physica Viera. She will mostly be an Assassin wielding a Greatbow at the end. She will certainly have Concentrate and will be used to instant KO left and right. most likely with Sniper and Archer backup abilities. Shannon will be the magical Viera and I would like her to be a Doublecasting Summoner with Elementalist backup. This is a very powerful combination, and a very good healer.

Alright, today will most likely be a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance day. Will I ever make it to the next plot battle... sure doesn't seem like it... but honestly I have 1 dispatch mission I'm currently on as well as 1 combat mission and then it will be time to carry on. Let's see how it goes.
