Kira just as he pleases.
too bad i have no Gundam related rantings to go on about, had this song of come up next week at this time i would've been so much cooler! but none the less you can't change the way random things randomly occur.

well all of creativity be damned i burnt out my excitement over GTA again. it seems my gaming drought is kicking in now being as all my equipment is last-gen. that and the fact i suck at turned based strategy games, i mean i did good in Disgaea because i could pull my old leveling trick of leveling to the point i can beat enemies on the x20 tiles still with one hit, hell i cleared the whole final level with just Laharl and Flonne with minimal help from Etna. but alas in mech-based TBS i suck, i'm lodged in place in Front Mission 4 and MS Saga, though luckily i couldn't give less of a shit about either of their plots so it matters not. the only thing that compelled me to play MS Saga was to see all the chibi-mechs and the fact i though i could just fight that much harder to keep using a Zaku II the whole time, but alas the difficulty in that game is so spastic, the bosses are insane even with the best mechs and weapons, when i can beat all the random encounters with just the head vulcans. and Front Mission? i think you'd have to be Light, L or Shikimaru to enjoy that game, plus the whole "who was the evil people who caused the explosion? evil terrorists!" plot is a bit dry, give me a good real-time RPG about killing God any day!

ya know i've realized what really makes a game for me, [an idea as "idea" plays, i feel like Karasu] good voice acting. i'm such a dub lover that what really makes games for me is the skill of the VAs. i came across this thought whilst staring at my BG and hearing Sandy Fox's voice ringing out in my ears with what you could call "Flonne-chan's greatest hits." i came to the actualization that the fact that she conveyed Flonne's cuteness so well [and i mean how could Sumomo not make someone cute?] is the reason i like the character so much, as well as Laharl and Vyers. MS Saga has no voice work as far as i can tell its suppose to, it might be because i changed the main characters name, if thats the case they should have warned me, damn them. that might explain why i disliked Dragon Quest VIII so much is because all the VAs were cockney british and irritating, well that and besides after a few seconds i realized being made by the maker of DB/Z/GT isn't a compliment anymore to me.

Star Ocean had great voice talent as well, Steve Staley, Michelle Ruff, Liam O'Brien, Crispin Freeman, Dorothy Elias-Fahn, Wendee Lee, Sherry Lynn, Kari Wahlgren, even Mona Marshall and Sandy Fox! That whole damn game is voiced by greats, and to someone who loves making crossover jokes [which every crossover anime game in Japan does constantly, i'm happy to learn] having Liam O'Brien near Michelle Ruff, or should i say Asaba near Chii, hours of slash-lemon fan fiction waiting to be written. Hell, in my head constantly imagining Sofia asking Albel "are you the one just for me and only for me?" or Albel ending battles with "ALRIGHT!" Albel following Mirage around as her Chevalier whilst also trying to kill her. Mirage trying to kill herself by stabbing herself with a sword filled with her own blood. Mirage beating Roger over the head with a bass guitar trying to summon a great space pirate. Roger confessing his love to a random witch voiced by Sandy Fox. Sofia randomly surprising Fayt, following him around after kidnapping him and holding him hostage. Albel berating Fayt, but then trusting him to pilot the ship. Albel having finishing moves titled "Ametarsu" and "Tsukuyomi" Roger trying to become Overlord of the Netherworld.

well enough of those jokes, plus i could ignore any character i wanted, be mean to Roger since i disliked him, set Fayt up with Peppita and when i played again, Albel. in MS Saga and DQ8 your love is chosen and irreversible. maybe if i could get the hell away from Fritz and tell that horse-princess and her munchkin father to shove it, me boobs and Trunks are leaving i'd like that too.

and Tales of Symphonia... the single best written game of all time, if i were to rated it as an anime it'd beat Chobits right now. the writing in that game is so good, and the voice actors are so damn amazing, i had no idea who the hell the guy who does Lloyd's voice is, i just learned he does Robin on Teen Titans, that guy can act! and once more, those moments alone with Sheena and Lloyd are so damn good, its insane how great the plot is and how great the characters are designed. the fact that the characters carry on conversations during battle, that are different depending on who is fighting, holy Christ! i mean i know GAINAX and Bones worked on it, still i wouldn't believe it was inevitable it'd be that great if Square, Clamp and Bandai were working on it too.

and Disgaea was no slouch in the characters and story as well, it was just too short and spent a lot of time with the silly, if the whole game had been like Etna's journal, Flonne's destiny, Laharl's past and Kurtis's life it would have been great, granted it'd probably depress me to the point i'd be able to tolerate MCR, but it'd still be great! still with only the amount it had it was amazing.

Star Ocean's story was great as well, the part up until you get off Elicor is a great warm-up, and once Luther starts deleting the universe, from the first announcement of Executioners to the moment Fayt and his respective lover and/or butt-buddy fade to black after literally re-imagining the universe the story is great.

maybe i've just played too good of games to appreciate mediocrity like Dragon Quest, but then again even Shining Tears had its great moments, kinda makes me doubt X-Play, the 1 was better than the 5.
