I did buy a preowned game at Game, being the cheap sod I am – Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which saw me killing cuddly wookiees at Kashhyyyk the moment Vader’s shuttle touch down on the ground. Awful computer animation, Lucasarts (probably because it was designed during the days of the PS2, perhaps). You people should learn a thing or two from the guys at SquareEnix (it was nice to let out your aggression throwing boulders and trees with the dark side of the Force, though). Which brings me to this…

At long last the moment I (and the salivating horde of FF-maniacs – you know you are one when you get Tweeter/MMS alerts from mates on the this day itself) have been waiting for, this came in the post. I have seen the promo for it on the FFVII:AC blu-ray disc and I was gobsmacked even then. Let alone at 5pm this afternoon, seeing/playing it in the flesh. The kiasu in me wanted to hesitate. Just play it for an hour and stop. Four hours later, I had to as my relentless playing without levelling up saw me dead at the second boss. The guide book hasn’t arrived yet, that’s why.

Paradigm shifts during battles. Levelling up using the Crystarium (anyone remember the Sphere Grid system on X?). Tenny[sic] action with Vanille. Okay, probably not that. And this weekend, I must finish XII. I can, really. It’s just that I’ve been delaying the inevitable thinking I should finish my 2nd last mark in the Sochen Cave Palace. And Ultima, and Zodiark. I’ll pass on Yiazmat kot.

Told you I’m kiasu.
