Conquered the shinies

[lynxgriffin]

So! Yesterday I was gone all day 'cause I went to D-Land with corrielle and gaelic_bohemian! We had ourselves an awesome fun time, going back and forth between DCA and D-Land a couple of times. We did stuff like Thunder Mountain, the river rapids ride, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Mulholland Madness, and suchforth. I also finally got to go look around inside the Grand Californian (I've never been back there before) and finally tried a pineapple float at the stand outside the Tiki Room that's always crowded. It was worth the wait, too.

OH, and they've reinstated Captain E.O.! (So yamikonumber7, if you want to go see it, we should before you graduate! They didn't change any of the original show, although they did change the theater. Now parts of the theater move in time with the music, which is both distracting and kinda cool. But man, I had forgotten how Eighties Captain E.O. was. There really isn't any better adjective for it than eighties. (Quite a few people in the audience were loling.) Man, I remember when all of that stuff was so cool. 8<

I also caved in and bought a little Pluto doll for myself! It is the most adorable thing ever! And not just because Pluto is my favorite.

Although man, I got home late last night and had a ton of pain in my side, followed by some really nasty nightmares. D: I feel better today, but how that is I'm not really sure, because I swear there were some moments where that pain in my side was working its way into my nightmares and kind of messing me up in terms of what was real and not. But today that pain's gone and I don't remember most of what the nightmares were, so I guess that's good.

I played taxi for neighbors today, but aside from that, it's FFXIII PLAYAGE. And here we have, I believe, the last commentary post for this game...


- Aaaand we're back at it! LET'S TRY AND FINISH THE WHOLE GAME TODAY
- Now we're playing tetris with the scenery?!
- I think Evened Odds may be my new favorite paradigm
- Aaand I think this may be the last point ever to grind before endgame, so let's spend awhile here...
- ...WTF, I breezed through this area two seconds ago; why am I suddenly dying over and over?!
- Okay, I'm actually running out of places to spend the crystarium points I have, so I may just have to forgo grinding a lot. 8|
- Okay, there is pretty much nothing but boss battles waiting. Which means it is WEAPONS UPGRADING TIEM
- *mulls over which weapons to use and subsequently upgrade*
- OKAY I just spent I don't even know how long on weapons upgrade. If we need to do more later, we'll come back and do that. In the meanwhile, LET'S CHARGE INTO BOSS BATTLE TERRITORY
- Teleported right into it, too. HOW LURVELY.
- Okay, that big metal walky guy wasn't an issue.
- LIKE A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL
- Suddenly we're in Minority Report?
- DING-DONG, L'CIE GRAM!
- Okay, we have no idea how we're going to solve this, but LET'S PWN ANYWAY
- Sparklies everywhere!
- :O Oh no our families!
- GO AWAY SUPERPOPE
- WTF dude you can't do that!
- CHICKOBOS AND CRYSTALS TELL US THE TRUTH
- Man you got your philosophy from Seymour, didn't you
- HERE COMES THE ANGRY CHORUS, FOR THE THIRD TIME
- Wow, that was probably my fastest superpope battle ever. GLAD I DID THAT UPGRADING, FOR SURE!
- "Put a lid on it!" THAT'S RIGHT, SAZH
- Snow: WE RAAAAWK
- Nooooo not creepowl!
- ...Uh oh
- OMG IT'S THE MCP
- Well that's terrifying as all get-out D8
- THE CHORUS HAS GOTTEN EVEN MORE SINISTER
- GOT ORPHAN'S FIRST FORM WITH FIVE STARS FUKYEAH
- I GUESS THIS IS THE LAST OF LAST PARTS TO GOOOOO
- So basically we're beating up a giant crystal sword here
- NO NOT SWIRLY PURPLE THINGS...wait what
- OHO the whole thing with l'Cie makes sense now
- ...Except it also just proves that fal'Cie are THE ASSHOLE EMPERORS OF ASSHOLE LAND. In fact, they're President Asshole McAsshole of the country of Asshole on the planet Asshole in the Asshole Galaxy.
- Leave Vanille alooooone!
- OHHH FANG
- The lesbian subtext is so text now it's ridiculous
- ...Fang exploded?!
- Wait WTF we become Cie'th?
- HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BEAT UP THE ASSHOLE FAIL'CIE IF WE CAN'T EVEN HOLD OUR SHINY WEAPONS
- Early fridge logic moment...does this mean chickobo is riding around on a big crystallized monstery Cie'th now or
- Or what I mean
- OH HAI RAGNAROK YOU LOOK VAGUELY...DIGIMON-ISH
- RAGNAROK, USE YOUR HEADBUTT ATTACK
- It's not very effective...
- Flashback to our biggest life-changing moments!
- ANGER LEADS TO THE DARK SIDE
- Orphan: Come back to life and kill me already!
- Stop torturing Fang already!
- Oh don't you even
- Orphan: DRAT! I've BEEN FOILED BY THE POWER OF LOVE!
- OH HELLO AGAIN EVERYBODY
- SO WE CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN IT, BUT WE FIXED THE WHOLE CIE'TH THING. OKAY!
- Oh well, we love us our big happy l'Cie family XD
- Oh come on they're so not dead that easily
- Snow: HELL YEAH I'M STILL AWESOME
- ...Well that was the most unbelievably creepy laugh I've heard in my entire life
- Now it's turned into a giant Mayan calendar?!
- YOU TELL 'EM LIGHTNING
- Okay, FINAL BATTLE, HERE WE GOOOO
- FINAL BATTLE BEATED ON THE FIRST TRY
- No stars, BUT THAT'S OKAY, Orphan went down in two staggers!
- Guess it's time to watch the shiny, shiny ending now!
- So now that we've blown up Orphan, how ARE we going to save Cocoon?
- Uh oh blackout
- Uh it kinda looks like Cocoon's imploding, so...
- ...I have no idea what is happening. Is that Ragnarok again?
- Oh hey it's like what we saw in our Focus dream
- THE MOON COCOON IS FALLING
- Wait...did everyone turn into crystal?
- And now un-crystal'd again!
- WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE HUNDREDS OF YEARS IN THE FUTURE
- So is everyone on Cocoon going to go live on Pulse now?
- AND WHAT ABOUT FANG AND VANILLE
- We are now brand-less, yaaaay!
- YAAAY SERAH AND DAJH ARE BACK
- Chickobo is excited!
- Awwwww that is the cutest smile on Snow ever
- Where is Hope's daddy?
- Snow: Now that we've saved the world and punted fal'Cie off to hell...LET'S GET MARRIED :D
- Crystal!Fang and Vanille!
- NO SRSLY HOW DO THEY GET BACK IN MY PARTY I KNOW YOU CAN SIDEQUEST AFTER THE GAME IS OVER
- C-credits roll?!
- SO BASICALLY FANG AND VANILLE SAVED THE WORLD WITH THEIR LESBIAN LOVE, YEEEEAH
- Clip show of all our biggest scenes during credits!
- THE END
- I HAVE EARNED A TROPHY FOR FINISHING THE GAME
- WOW so uh. I guess I'm done now. WOW FFXIII.



And with that, I have officially finished FFXIII! I'll give some more overall/coherent thoughts when I've had some process time for it, but for now, we'll just post the commentary. More will come later~

yeah that quick stagger weapon makes all the difference in the WORLD XD

Also the game when you save it after you beat it it basically just teleports you back to Heaven's Wait Room the Narthex. I'm assuming you can fight the final battle again if you want to but I haven't tried it yet. But it seems kind of like it just takes you back to just before the game ends.

Also did you see my description of the end to GG? Because that more or less sums up how I felt about it. Although I'm a bit more warm and fuzzy about it now that i've given it a few days to settle in.

[lynxgriffin.livejournal.com]

It really did, man. 8D Thanks for mentioning that!

Yeah, I just got to that point, although I guess now it's just back to either Pulse or another area of Eden?

I did read that, actually! And yeah, I think I need a little while to think about it, just 'cause I'm also...a little fuzzy on everything that happened exactly. |D

Hm, William Shatner sure is getting heavy in his old age. Yet another spoiler for BBS is that "Kirk Is A Chunkiness Tutor" can be rearranged to spell "Riku Kicks Sora In The Nuts." Bet ya didn't see that one coming!

[lynxgriffin.livejournal.com]

...No, no I can't say I saw that one coming. |D
