Might as well face it, you're addicted to...video games.
My apologies to Robert Palmer. (And, come to think of it, his estate.)
Before I get to the title, first I have to do a little ranting about something else: the Inheritance trilogy. This is the best book series I've seen in a long time. (Harry Potter is nothing compared to the lengths of these books - it took me all day to read Eragon, and I'm still not done with Eldest.) The author started writing these books when he was 15, was on the NY Times Bestseller List by 19, and is now in his early twenties with over 1000 pages under his belt and a third and final novel on the way.
In short, I want to be him. *cries* I'm in awe...but I feel so inadequate! >.<
And now for the video game part of this rant.
Three words:
Kingdom
Hearts
II
...Okay, that last one was a numeral. But still. Un-be-flippin'-lievable.
I stole it from [Bad username or unknown identity: tafkae,] played it for four hours while she was here, and BAM - hooked. I don't really miss Roxas all that much, but darn it, I want my dual wield back! AGH!
I was screaming even louder and harder when I got to Yes Nid's place. You see, I'm a mage at heart, and having this giant MP gauge and no way to use it...well, that was fun. Something along the lines of, "You're a wizard, darn it! GIVE ME MY MAGIC!!!"
Yeah, just a *little* bit psycho there. I can't wait for my Wisdom form to show up. (I tend to farm out Goofy when I get a world-specific character, so Valour is a bit useless to me. Plus, who wants to wear red when you can be in blue? Ooh, ooh, not me!)
So then I *finally* got my magic (yes!) from Merlin. (Come to think of it, I really should've seen that coming.) My brother is playing the game along with me. He got ahead of me and went to the Beauty and the Beast world. Not to be outdone (or to copy), I went to Mulan.
What do you get at the end of Mulan? A new keyblade. Whoopee.
What do you get at the end of Beauty and the Beast?
CURE!
I WANT MY CURE DARN IT!
Cure is my life in these kinds of games. Literally. ><
And then I found out it takes your entire MP gauge to cast Cure *once*. Man, that sucks. I may as well stick with the potions for a while for all the good that'll do me.
All in all, though, I'm rather impressed with the game. The graphics are to die for, Sora's VA grew up *yes! yes! yes!*, the addition of limits and reaction commands adds an entirely new twist to already stunning gameplay, and...I'm a Riku fan. The prospect of eventually having him in my party amuses me to absolutely no end.
All in all, a great game. In fact, I think I'll go play it now. ^^
