Hooray! ^^ You'll love the battle system. The fights are tough, but if you know what you're doing, you won't have a problem. I will say this: If the game didn't automatically heal your characters after each battle, this game would have been nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get through. Haha... Yeah, I hear you on the school thing. I can learn stuff if I don't HAVE to learn anything, but when I'm in a school environment, I feel like the stuff is being forced on me or something, and I don't want to pay attention to it.

I bet if Square Enix did a revamp on FF X, they wouldn't have let us pick his name. Didn't make sense to me either, since it was the first FF to have voice acting. You would think that Squaresoft would have just kept it Tidus. There is one game that I played that you could pick the main characters name, but all the other characters would still call him his default name. Kind of weird that the game would give the player that option, but nothing would change. The game was called Star Ocean: Til the End of Time, in case you were wondering.

Yeah, I liked the world of Spira, and Zanarkand was pretty impressive, before it got demolished. Not that you got to see a whole lot of it, but it was still amazing. ^^ I think that the world in FF XIII is pretty much a stark contrast to FF X. In X, there's not a whole lot of technological environments. There's a few, but mostly, everything is pretty natural looking. In XIII however, there's very little natural surroundings, and most everything is mechanized. It's not a bad thing, and I'm sure once I get further along in the game, that will change. No spoilers from me though. As for the camera in XIII, you can move it however you want, just like in XII! I think that XII was a little better in terms of actual exploration, because so far, everything in XIII has been pretty linear, but the story and characters are so good that I'm hardly complaining about that!

To be honest, I haven't come across any side quests yet. :| I heard that there are things called missions that are like the hunts that were in XII, but I think you have to get pretty far along in the game to do any of them. Right now, I'm focusing on getting my character's Chrystarium levels up so when I get to the point of free exploration and customization, I'll have a pretty even ground to work on.

Now that you mention it, he does sound a little like Vaan. :\ I guess that's the teenage boy sound though. Yeah, I hear you on the older versions. You could make up what they sounded like in your head, and also what the pronunciations of some of the words sounded like. When something is said that sounds different than what you originally thought it to be, it's sort of throws you through a loop. It does for me anyway.

I just finished the part where Vanille was running through the forest! It was really nice. The environments are really something to see, and yes, very detailed. For the first part that I played, everything looks mechanized, so get used to see that until you get to the forest part that you seen. ^^ It's still really awesome though.

I too have been gone for almost 4, give or take 4 and 1/2 months. I've not the slightest idea what is happening here. I'm just checking occasionally at school.

I really like them. The voice work is amazing and I think fits in very well with the characters. Hope sounds older to me than what I think he should sound like though, but the rest of the cast is really good. ^^ When you play the game, I would love to hear what you think though, because I honestly am not all that picky when it comes to voice work in games. If they just don't sound downright awful, then I'm happy.

Ha! I was just about to send you a friend request after I replied to your VM, but you beat me to it!

Wow. That's really cool! ^^ I'll bet he'll be happy that you remembered the promise from a year ago that you would wait.

I got it for the PS3, because I don't own a Xbox, but if I did, I would probably get it for the PS3 anyway. I'm not a console fangirl or anything, but I don't feel like changing disks when I play games. I'm lazy like that.

I'll have to check on the japanese audio rumor. The only thing I did with the preferences is make sure that the subtitles were on, because I don't want to miss anything that is said in the game!

You're waiting to play it until your boyfriend gets home? Awww.. That's really nice of you! ^^ I don't have that kind of self-discipline to not play a game that I've been eagerly waiting on, so you're doing a lot better than I would do. Yeah, I hear you on being skeptical, but from what I've played of it so far, it's really fun! There's a ton of action going on in the story, so I had to take breaks every now and again so I could get in a breather.

No worries. ^^ It sounds like life is keeping you busy, and it also sounds like things are going pretty good. I'm glad that you haven't forgotten about TFF.

Hey! I haven't seen you on in a while. Anyway, I saw that it was your birthday today, so I dropped by to wish you happy birthday!

Now since you don't seem to know I'll take it easy on you. FINAL FANTASY TACTICS HAS A STORY THAT CAN RIP OTHER FF's STORIES TO SHREADS!!!! I think the original tactics(PS1) had an incredible story. It can even apply to political problems and debates now in real life. Even though it involves fighting Zodiak Deamons, it is still the most "real" final fantasy out there.

Yeah I was real happy with the voice actor for FFX and I think they left them both the same so it's still good. Some of the voiceless charecters such as Warrior of Light, Firion, Onion Knight have really good voices that I think match their personallity really well. Especially Firion who has the guy who played Lelouch on Code Gease, and he is a perfect match for Firion who is always on the rebel team fighting the royalties. The personallities between Zero(Code Gease reference) and Firion are almost the same.

I think you will be happy with Kefkas actor. The only one that I think suited the charecter but I was still not happy with was, Kuja. I know Kuja is really gay but he is just OVERLY gay on dissidia...I still respect him as a bad ass villan and a magick user who could probably counter Terra and Kefka.

Yeah, Kefka is a beast, thats for sure.
Y'know I just unlocked Gabranth and already leveled him up to lvl 46 and he's my new favorite! I knew he would be but I'm still impressed with his ridiculos EX attacks. I however don't like his voice, I think they changed it...It just doesn't sound right. Balthier and Setzer should go at it though. Their personalities are similar. Knowing setzer's luck Balthier would kick his ass but then setzer would get some wierd all or nothing attack and win by the skin on his teeth.
Man I still want to have some Final Fantasy Tactics characters...Delita vs. Ramza would be pretty awesome!

("Dream land? Kirby?")

Yeah I think they should have left out shanato and had a FFXII good guy but what can you do, their Japanese.
I don't know enough about FFVI to decided who the main really is but from what I've herd its the same thing as FFXII where everyone plays enough of a part that everyone seems the main in their own way. (Cept Vann who is the brother-of-the-guy-who-saw-the-king-die. Big whup)
Y'know as I compare the characters, Seymour(hated by me too) is pretty similar to The Emperor from FFII. For the record, you can have Cactuar as a summon...so you can kinda have them...kinda.
I agree, even if it takes them forever, a Dissidia needs to be made that has EVERYONE! Even like Biggs and Wedge for a summon or somthing.(LOLOLOLOLOLOL) I really want to see Tifa and Zell go at it! Ultimate Monk fight! Oh by the way, was the HATE HATE HATE thing a Kefka reference? On dissidia he was talking to someone and he had a whole page on the little scrolling text thing of just saying HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE YOU!

Dude on Dissidia Exdeath is awesome! All he does is ramble on about the "Void". Golbez got all offencive and he said "What do you intend to accomplish with this void of yours!?" and Exdeath only laughed at him. Isn't shanatto a girl? O.o She counts as a female charecter. You are right though...I still don't even think they should have used Terra. I really wanted to have Setzer as a playable charecter but really he's not the main from FF6 is he? I think it's Locke...
I just beat the good guy stories and got a movie scene with Gabranth and Shanatto and nearly craped myself! I can't wait to unlock Gabranth!!!!! I didn't really understand why they had Gabranth....Should it not be Vayne? I still like Gabranth more but only because his alternate costume has no helmet so he's basicly Basch in judge armor! Yay Basch!

My friends and I were talking about a dissidia sequel and we started passing ideas of different gunner charecter like Four way match between Vincent, Mustadio, Balthier and Irvine! I want a gunner on dissida so much. I'm somtimes cowardly on it.(It's easy to just stand back and fire magick attacks.)

Man when I took art I in my freshman year I hated art class. It was surprisingly tough. Never played shadow of the colossus but I don't even know what its on, it's a PS2 title right? Probably not due to graphics being so epic.
Dissidia is fun and untill I unlock Gabranth I won't get tired of it. I also like it because it helps me get into touch with FF games I've not played (VI,V,III) (Exdeath is like my new favorite bad guy, FEAR THE VOID!)

I can relate in the matter of "Oh my God I have a 5-page reaserch papper due in like two weeks! I am always behind in my work! AHHHHHH!!!" The sentences are true. However I just got dissidia so I'm kinda at a stand still in school. I do work quickly and imedietly go home and play dissidia. (Awesome game man!)
