long and useless

I kind of miss Yuffie!fics. Like, a lot. There's a lot of Yuffie/Vincent, and OMG, I cannot believe I'm grousing about this, but I am, I'm grousing about the fact that there aren't enough Yuffie!gen fics out there and holy hell and write, I should be beaten for my lack of gratitude to the fact that there are so many Yuffie/Vincent fics out there now.

Dude. I remember when there was, like, one fic for Yuffie and Vincent. Maybe one-fic-and-a-half. And now there are loads and loads and I feel slightly slimy over the fact that I'm complaining (mostly in my head) about the lack of Yuffie!gen. IS THAT INGRATITUDE OR WHAT?

But then, I constantly complain about the lack of Tifa!gen too, so maybe that's why. And really, before I complain, I should try writing it myself.

And I've been feeling the need to read Yuffie and Tifa friendship fics, because I totally think they're now best friends in the world and that they dish about crap all the time. And is there a way to find a fic about the two of them that doesn't involve the icky icky boys?

(yeah, write it myself, yada yada yada)

I got rid of my PS2 when I left Japan (seriously, I could't afford to send any more things home at the rate I was going) and one of my friends bought it. I just got the new slimline PS2 (which, OMG, is so tiny!) and decided I would replay the FF series, starting from VII.

And I'm DYING to get Yuffie. I usually get Yuffie the first chance I can, which is right outside Fort Condor, but remembering that Vincent has an unusual reaction to Yuffie if you have him in your party when you happen upon her, I decided to, just this once to get Vincent first. UGH, I MISS YUFFIE. It feels so odd and queer not to have her around for several of the fights. For one thing, I've got weapons for her up the hooha. I'm about to finish the Gi Cave... which means I'll be getting Vincent and THEN I'LL GET YUFFIE.

Also. it's weird playing the game on a flatscreen. Everything seems just slightly fuzzy if you look closely.

Though, on that note, I went to Zack's house in Gongaga for the very first time without Aeris or Tifa, and had a Cloud-only reaction to their questions. But, yeah, I started over so I could watch Aeris again and...

I'd forgotten how stupidly tragic Zack's life ended up, because of stupid Shinra and Hojo. For one thing, his poor mom and dad. Ten years, and still with no knowledge that their only child's dead. And Aeris; Zack didn't dump her, he didn't just lose interest. He was trapped in that lab for five years, and in the end, he was still as cheerful as ever and died to save Cloud.

ARGH. I totally got all choked up last night over Gongaga. One thing about the Final Fantasy VII Compilation that I'll always be grateful for, is the expanded history and life we get on Zack. It's subtle and wonderful in the game, but having the rest just makes me a happy camper.

Seriously. There's Aeris-resurrection fics. Where's the Zack resurreciton fics?

I saw the 'new movie' of what is apparently the Kingdom Hearts 3 game and it looks gutshiveringly awesome.

Too many kinds of awesome!. I don't even dare think of how it's going to go down, but YUM! YUM! YUM!

And the official Crisis Core website is up! I'm actually really excited about this game (even if it is for the PSP... woe, I shall have to buy it now.) because it focuses on Zack and oh, I do have a soft spot for Zack. My only hope is the controls aren't quite as bad as Dirge of Cerberus.

(and yay, we'll have glimpses of Tifa)

Though I have to say... JEEZ LOUISE, ZACK IS HOT. 0_0

and he looks strangely like Sephiroth.

SEX.

Yes, truly. Sex. But then again, I've only seen the opening scenes.

But yes.

YUFFIE AND VINCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yuffie saves Vincent! Three years ago! I mean, during when Vincent was fighting Hojo, you know, on the tower in Midgar, OMFG!

...

I have stolen friend's internet and computer as I spend the weekend with her to steal borrow her Japanese PS2. It is da bomb and I love DoC thus far.

I've heard some shifty things about the gameplay but I find myself not really caring. It's Vincent. It's Yuffie. It's FFVII, one year post Advent Children. Boo yeah.

Will tell more as I continue playing.

So. There are going to be SPOILERS OMG in here. It's also fairly disjointed because I'm writing as I watch the movie...

( beauty is in the eye of the beholder... but in this case, it's ALL BEAUTY!!! )

OMG. This is so messy!

I promise. Better, more coherent analysis later. OAV stuff later too. Plus screen caps and possibly photos of all the extras in the special edition box set.

Today's the seventeenth of August! Only three more days until the next chapter of Furuba comes out. Or sooner maybe. I have no idea of how regular anthologies work here.

*crosses fingers* Hope Akito's in it.

Am writing totally useless Byakuya fic. He has a knack for getting under my skin.

I'm bored. Really, really bored. I never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait for school to start.

I asked my brothers to send me my PS2. I hope it gets here soon.

9/14 - so far away. I want to see Yuffie and Vincent in full screen glory!

( Thirty years, one coffin. Vincent Valentine looks for penance. )

Go see this entry of cheloya! She played FFVII over again in order to see if the rumor I heard was true: about getting Vincent before Yuffie and then having him say she 'looked familiar'...

but it's even better!

Cause he says he's seen her somewhere!

*dies of happiness*

I mean, this just validates (okay, so maybe not) everything for me!

YOSH!

*dances like a maniac*

YUFFIE AND VINCENT RULEZ!
