And I don’t have writer’s block or anything funky like that. I’m busy playing Xenoblade Chronicles and Zero no Kiseki, but I haven’t reached anywhere worth writing about.
Xenoblade Chroicles: 67-ish hours. Just reached the Fallen Arm and got the ‘final party member’. Do Not Want. I was doing so well raising affinity and mixing and matching my teams. Melia and Riki are actually pretty useful in battle, especially when you control them yourself. I just don’t know what they want me to do with this new character. Well, whatever. Exploring is still fun, and we’re FINALLY getting round to the core of the story, so that’s good.
Zero no Kiseki: Longest. Final Dungeon. Ever. I’ve been trying to finish the game for the past 5 hours, but they just keep sending me deeper and deeper into some ancient ruins. Then I finally killed the last-but-one boss and thought, oh well the last boss must be in the next room, right? Noooo, the dungeon’s going on. And on. And on. At present I don’t have a list of game developers I instinctively avoid. If I did, though, Falcom would be at the top of it.
I think, or at least I desperately hope, that I’ll finish ZnK soon, and then I guess I’ll have to write something about it. *sigh*
I also figure since my PS2 is already dead, there’s no harm taking it apart in a last-ditch attempt to fix it, so that’s what I’ll do tomorrowish.
