Nov. 14th, 2004 02:24 pmI had an excellent dream this morning.
I dreamt I was playing ff5. Obviously I haven't played it since the first time, and that was.. two years ago now? oh, how time passes! (actually it must have been three years ago, because I had ffx two years ago, and I played it before then and it was bitterly cold outside)
But the coolness factor was the the way the battles were set up. You could have 5(five) people on the field, and they were arranged into three rows-- a mage's row in the very back, 1/2 dmg, the normal speedy people in the middle at regular damage and then the tanks in the front at 2/1 dmg. I thought that was quite interesting.
Now, my party was made up of quite a unique comglomeration of people. I remember lenna was the one I had in the very middle, and I went to go change their equipments and I found this guy had incrediable speed. like. 125389 or so. This blew my mind, so I was like 'hey, this is a speed equipment here' and was about to take it off when another character (which reminds me of Locke now) was like 'um, hey, that thing gives a 125350 spd+ stat boost. He's your ninjathief, you might want to keep it equipped to him.' and I was sad because I wanted lenna to get cool stats.
After that, I decided to do some sidequests, so my party (Which was huge actually, more than the static four of 5, but less than the fourteen of 6.. I vaguely remember having about eight people on the field at one time, so I'll say that my party had six people, 'cause there were two people that weren't always in it) headed off over some water, and we found this cave on the map, and I was trying to remember what the cave was, 'cause it was one of the sidequests I skipped on account of being hard (like trying to fight shinryu and omega weapon) and it hit me that this was the odin summon quest. (which I actually did get. haha. I remember it as being fairly easy.. it was in that basement where the other part had those stone soldiers you could throw softs on and get like a million AP for killing them. hahaha) and I was starting to freak out, because you couldn't leave once you started it (ffx-2 anyone?) so I decided to make the best of it. So me and my six characters went into the cave (hmm, if I was playing does that mean I had nine people?) and it was crowded, because we had like everyone that was in our airship with us, acting like stupid tourists. and these old ladies that were my party's mothers came up and were like, 'Hey, this is Odin's cave.. let's go defeat him and gain a summon!'
Of course odin heard us and showed up. He reminded me of the turks very muchly so, because there were two or three people that were odin (wednesday from american gods maybe:DDD) and they were all bureaucratic and stuff. Actually one of the guys reminded me of seifer. Maybe he was a turk in a past life.
I spent my time during the battle holding the ladies back so the guys wouldn't attack them and kill them. So my party was a bit weak, but we pwnzed odin anyways.
I grabbed a mallet and another thing that was supposed to show I had beat odin, but when I got outside and we went to another city, I realized that I didn't have the odin summon.
Then it hit me. The mallet was supposed to be used on a gong, and *then* you would get the summon. (I did this in the shinra mansion too. Killed that stupid friggin' hard for disc 1 boss in teh safe, then traipsed down to the basement and wondered why the door wouldn't open. Then I realized I had grabbed the summon materia and that other thing, but didn't bother to get the 'Key to the Basement' keyitem. haha. stupid. I swear, I'm going to write a FAQ on the stupid things you should know to do but don't realize it immediately for final fantasy. Like 'If you don't deequipt people you send on trips in ffta, you're not gonna be able to use those items until they come back. stupid'
I thought of tons of these the first time I played ff8. there weren't quite so many in ff7-- there might be hope for me as a rpgplayer yet.
anyways, we had to go back and fight him again. there were more parts to him (more turks) so it was harder, but I said 'screw you' to the old grandmas so it was even easier than the first time.
I made sure and banged on teh gong that time. bwahaha.
So what did we learn from this dream? FF5 is an excellent game and battle designs aren't as hard to think of as I thought.
Must go make pictures of lilo and stitch racing against shrek and donkey for english class now.

You know how I've been complaining about how psp keeps printing in grey?
I think I found out why.
The very first box when you go to 'print preferences' thingy has a thing down at the bottom that is all 'color, greyscale, cymk' or something.
greyscale has been checked. a nd I hadn't touched it.
houston, I think we've solved a problem.
Now, I've got to get some more ink. My colors seem to be horrid.
(I like this song. Been repeating it for a while now)

Exdeath, you will pay-- when I get that far.

Because I hate doing homework...
Nov. 14th, 2004 11:05 pmTen Things about me You Probably Wouldn't Know
1. I can't sleep without a bra on. It makes me uncomfortable.
2. Likewise , I can't sleep wearing socks. Ick.
3. 85% of my friends went to the same elementary school as me.
4. I cannot wear flip-flops. They hurt my feet.
5. I hate doing homework and hate studying , so if I can avoid it (especially studying) , I will. I wonder if I actually started doing all my homework and studying , if my grades would suddenly skyrocket. The problem is , that involves a lot of work.
6. When I was younger , I was paralyzingly afraid of dogs.
7. I hate milk. Unless it is in hot chocolate , I will not drink it.
8. I am addicted to butter mints, reese's puff cereal , hot chocolate , and goldfish crackers. (And just junk food in general). I can't help myself.
9. I often wonder how one is to get a "sense of style" , because I think being a stylist would be a deleriously fun job , at least for a day.
10. I graduate next year , and I have not got a CLUE what I want to do once I am through with high school.
And now , my friends...I have to go finish my homework which I have been trying to avoid.
Goodnight....!
