Suikoden II has fallen to my /\/\4|) 5|<1||z.. but I'm sad. [21 Feb 2003|03:45pm]

What type of Bishounen are you? Find out at artificial-soul.net by Rin.


(Yes, yes, I agree.)

***Genso Suikoden II Spoilers Ahead***









Well... after playing Suikoden II for five hours today, I made it to the end, beat the boss on the first try (but did struggle), and was shocked by the ending.
It was just... kinda plain. I knew I shoulda said "What about Jowy?", because now, they didn't tell me what happened to him! And, and the end, the picture was of Jowy sitting by that rock the two characters slash in the begining. I wonder, if I had looked for him in the castle, if the main chara would've been there with him?
But, after I beat Seed and Culgan, the little scene with Jowy, Pilika, and Jilia was the last I saw of the three of them. Damn. I was hoping Jilia was gonna die. (Stephko, MS-tsu lied to you or something ><;)
It was just... depressing. First, I kicked Lucia's ass. And that was okay, 'cause she had it comming. Then, I had to duel that one guy... (unimportant chara, he was the last general, I think?), and killed him! Yeah, that was kinda sad. But then... Seed and Culgan! I can't believe they died. Uwaaa... that's just plain UNFAIR. So Seed can't be Albert (III), and Culgan can't be Nadir (III), because they're dead. Well shit. It's gonna make me cry thinking about it.
Then, once you leave the room, the two of them are just lying on the floor, waiting to die, and talking. The scene was throughly upsetting.

And the comparison to Luca! It makes you think. Obviouslty, to you and the main chara, Highland is the enemy; the "bad guys". But to Highland... they really do think the same of you. After all, I guess Jowy wasn't really out to hurt anyone, he just wanted to unify the land-- AS DID your main chara. They just wanted to go about it two seperate ways, and that made the whole thing happen. You gotta wonder-- were they really that different?

This is definitly the best game I've played in a while. I'm gonna go cry now or something...

Gaming survey! [21 Feb 2003|05:13pm]
[ mood | exhausted ]
[ music | "Falls Apart" -- Sugar Ray ]







I stole this from someone's blog.
Yes, prepare for much ranting.
The person I took this from bashed Ocarina of Time (obviously a one-minded Playstaion fan)and, on top of that, is one of those new-era fans or something v_v; Her whole list of likes conisted mainly of FFVII, FVIII, and a little of FFIX. Bleh.
Oh well. I just don't care for FF fans who play nothing but the *latest* FF games, like Nintendo'll give you a disease and the old FF games aren't worth touching.
Thanks for listening to my ramble. Anyway, on to the fun-filled survey...


What is your favorite system? Super Nintendo
What is your favorite game company? Squaresoft, or Rare
What is your favorite genre? RPG.. but Puzzle is good. Damn, I like them all.
What's a game you like but no one else does? Samurai Shodown. I kick ass, and no one's ever heard of it.
What is your favorite game ever? Ohh, that's tough! Final Fantasy IX (PSX), or The Adventures of Link (NES).. or Earthbound (SNES)... damn, I don't know.
What game makes you want to massacre the creators? SECRET OF EVERMORE. It's a horrible, horrible, American-made RPG. *shudder*
What is your favorite game series? Zelda. (Sorry, Squaresoft...)
Who is your favorite hero? Link! ^_^ ..and Gremio. (Genso Suikoden)
Who is your favorite heroine? Celes Chere (FFIII) or Yae (Goemon).. or FARIS! (FFV)
Who is your favorite female side character? Nabooru (Ocarina of Time)
Who is your favorite male side character? Ohhhh, tough. Maybe... Jacques (Suikoden III)
Who is your favorite male villian? Sephiroth. Heh.. but everyone reading this knows that. Luca Blight is AWESOME, too. (Suikoden II)
Who is your favorite female villian? Mizuki (Samurai Shodown II)
Who is your favorite evil minion? Koopa Troopa ^-^
What character do you like that no one else does? Squall. All my friends are highly embarassed that I even like FFVIII. And, yes, I apologise. x_x
What character DON'T you like that everyone else does? TIFA, GARNET, and YUNA. They're all dirty bitches. v_v
Who's the hottest female game character? How should I know...? If I were a guy... I'd say Lulu.
Who's the hottest male game character? Shit! Link or Sephiroth.
What's your favorite character design ever? Ever..? Wow. Toad. THAT mushroom hat was REVOLUTIONARY!
Who's your favorite game couple? Sephiroth and Aeris. *snicker* Oi, Stephko-- "He stuck her with his Masamune while Cloud watched!" XD
What was the hardest final boss battle you fought? Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. THAT BASTARD! Yes, I am aware no one knows who he is. From Samurai Shodown. And YES, you MORONS, he is a MAN! (Freakin' retarded movie makers...)
Easiest final boss? Majora's three forms on Majora's Mask. That game was an insult to the series.
What's the coolest weapon from any game? THE MASAMUNE! XD
Coolest accessory? Wall Ring, FFVI. Heh. Love it.
Coolest item? Mechanical Ninja Sasuke! (Goemon) Yes, he's an item when you first find him! Heh..
Best name for an item or accessory? Fried Fish Balls XDDD (Suikoden II)
Favorite background music? Gerudo Valley (Ocarina of Time)
Favorite battle music? One Winged Angel! (FFVII).. Also, Otherworld (FFX)
Favorite character theme song? One Winged Angel ee;
Favourite vocal song? Melodies of Life (FFIX).. I used to beat the game just to listen to that song ^^
What game stereotype do you like? The psychotic bishounen villain ^-~ ...not even bishounen, sometimes. Hell, I like Luca after all. *shrug*
What game stereotype do you hate? The bimbo female heroine that's supposed to end up with the hero. Stupid as hell.
What game has the best story? (Person I took this from said FFVII-- You've GOT to be kidding me.) Either FFIX, or Ocarina of Time-- When the game first came out, it revealed all sorts of new things about the Zelda series that just seem stupid now, but were cool then-- e.g., Link has the Triforce of Courage, the fact that there IS a third Triforce peice, Zelda being Sheik-- didn't see that comming.
What game has the best overall character development? (VII has no character development whatsoever! Holy shit, I can't believe anyone would think so highly of that game!) FFIX. It's perfect. *-*
Favorite game beginning? Suikoden III. *cries* It's so beautiful... Suikoden (I)'s begining actually gives me goosebumps, too. I like the stuff about "No matter how small, no man's life is worthless..."
Least favorite beginning? Chrono Trigger (SNES, ORIGINAL one, people)... it HAD no begining.
Favorite game ending? FFIX is definitly #1. Ocarina of Time, too.. it was cool that they showed all the people at the end.
Least favorite ending? FFVII, because they don't give you closure, and Suikoden II for the same reason, AND FFX, because the crappy, depressing ending just putting the icing on the PIECE OF SHIT cake-- er, game.
What is the coolest game mythological reference? FFVI. It didn't introduce most of those summons, but hell, it was the only game that gave the summons a decent NAME (Espers), and actually explained what they were and where they came from.

MoonGoddess
Goddess of the Night. Beautiful yet a strange
darkness and sadness lurk about you.


What element would you rein over? (For Girls)
