saving Lightning

After about 1 week of waiting plus the everyday mailbox checking, the long awaited gem has finally arrived!

BEHOLD!

Is it me or the cover appears to be 'glossy'? This boxart is definitely better than the one with only the game title written on it. Yes I know they have some pretty artwork behind FF but Lightning's trademark pose is unbeatable!

The booklet/manual. Let's take a look the first 2 pages because they feature clear shots of Lightning. Yes I have conditional love for those characters but who gives a damn?

That smoking hot BAMF pose again! HAH! Okay okay, I'll try being fair this time and post a shot of the main cast.

Had the chance to play the game for one hour before dinner and damn, the game's such a fine piece of artwork. The graphics will definitely make you go like "holy shit!".

First impressions :

1. Lightning is hot.
2. The cast reminds me of FFX's Al-Bheds, is that how you spell that anyway?
3. Gorgeous setting, looks like there's a lot to be explored.
4. Once again, it feels very much like FFX, feels like home to be. FFX was the first FF game I played on the PS2 and this is the first FF for the PS3.
5. Enjoyable battle system. I really dislike the one that FFXII uses, it doesn't feel like FF to me. ATB turn based battles are back with deadlier moves! I can only control one character? I'm hoping it'll let me control the party later on.
6. Easy to listen to music, the battle theme is kinda stuck in my head already. Hopefully the rest of the soundtrack won't be as annoying or mundane as X-2's or XII.
7. Incredibly cool interface when the menu is brought up, you can see the characters' picture clearly unlike previous FF games.

See, now I'm even more demotivated to go to Leadership Camp which is happening tomorrow. Tch. Speaking of which, I haven't even packed! Alright alright, it's only 3 days long then I'll be able to spend most of my time playing this. *sighs* after all, FFXIII is my raison d'etre for purchasing the Playstation 3.

Take note that yours faithfully will be blogging more often about FFXIII from today onwards. :)

Till then I'll be so called camping in Gopeng, Perak.
And I'm starting to think that phones which are too smart is quite a challenge to use.

i want a psp as an xmas gift

I'm in KL and I'll be here for one week. So anyway today's my first day. Had a nice lunch at Duck King. Damn, people have no idea how much I love ducks and just how much I've been craving for them. I don't get to eat them often because my mom doesn't take ducks due to health reasons.

What the heck? This made me laugh.

Ducks.

Some kinda old fashioned rice with minced pork and mushroom.

Szechuan soup with dumpling.

Stuffed brinjals with some kinda fish paste.

Fried chicken with chillies. Boy, this is effing spicy. I gave up after trying one bite.

Headed to Mid Valley. Mom wanted to get Xmas gifts for relatives. It was boring. I had to help her choose stuff and she was asking me for opinions. It's okay to ask for opinions but she was choosing those really girly stuff. I have no idea what's the best and the most IN thing in town. Later on we ate the BEST EGG TARTS (that's what the shop claims). Anyway it's really not bad. So far the best egg tarts I've ever tasted. People should try. Better than Kampung Simee ones.

The ones without butter and the ones with butter. Heavenly.

After dinner, we went to Echo Park to take a look at Avia shoes. I've been drooling over them since one year ago. They didn't have my size. Btw I hate the size of my feet, it's weird. It's not too big or too small. Saw a few new designs and in the end mom decided to buy a pair for me. *muka very elated* Thanks mom.

In the process of drooling.

...and finally it's mine. *smirks*

Tomorrow will be going to Genting for 2 nights. So an early Merry Christmas to everyone! Have fun people. =)
