So, I’m not totally sure exactly how long it will be before I can actually play X or Y (could easily be a few weeks). In the meantime… Final Fantasy VII, which Jim has been telling me for a long time that I must play, is on sale for $6 on Steam this weekend.
On the theory that writing something is better than writing nothing, let’s see what happens.
Jim says it’s among the most perfect games ever, and that I’ll laugh, I’ll cry, and it’ll change my life. I’m a little vague on what the game is about – I think the main characters are terrorists, and the bad guys are an evil power company? And I know that Aeris dies, although I’m not exactly sure who Aeris is, which I think is rather the reverse of the way one is normally supposed to approach this story. Nonetheless, I shall press on.
These are going to be more reaction pieces than my usual polished commentary, but I’m sure I’ll be able to work in some analysis somewhere. Think of it as a stylistic experiment on my part.
