My OperaResolutions!
Sunday, January 2, 2011 2:37:11 AM
Okay, so I've been horrible about keeping up my blog. I know. But I now have an incentive! I'll be keeping up with my three resolutions here.
What are those resolutions, you ask?
1) Write 500 words daily. Including blog posts, fiction, et cetera, but not including homework (because that would be cheap).
2) Practice at least one instrument each day. Even if it's just for a scale or two.
3) Purchase zero video games this year. No, I don't intend to pirate, I'll just only play games I own already or freebies.
So that's what this blog will be about, mostly. I figure gaming will be tops for right now, but I'll get around to posting stuff I write eventually, and you should expect some ranting about musical stuff (auditions and so on).
Anyway, on to actual content. I've been playing Final Fantasy II (the Dawn of Souls version, if you must ask) lately, and Maria really kind of sucks. I mean, she's a great mage--I'm using her as a black mage for the most part, but she really fits red mage--but her HP sucks. I know, the mechanics really make specializations specialized, but it's pretty lame when one character has half the HP of either other.
Guy, on the other hand, is useless because of his agility. It's crap. He only gets a turn when Maria holds back or we're up against a tougher group. He'd be perfect if he could actually get a hit in. As for Firion, he's good enough. Nothing special, really. I guess Maria's actually my best character just because she can destroy most of the random monsters in one hit. Fastest, too.
But yeah, fun game. Play it if you haven't already. Dawn of Souls is a good deal; it should be pretty cheap now, and it has Final Fantasy I in it too (also a great game). I have yet to finish either, but from what I've gotten to they're both great.
