More original FFVII (liveblogging from Mount Nibel)

[green_animation]

In the Nibel mountains. Fighting some giant green crab insect thing when- FFFFFFF GALIAN BEAST STOP CASTING BEAST THINGY IT IS GIVING IT POWER. How do I get Galian back to Vincent? Maybe I can kill him... better focus on crab thing first though. Aeris, your attack exceeds Cloud's, I am amused.

 

-

Win battle, move a nanoinch then random battle! .. Grr.

 

-

Out of the mountains, run through forest looking for Yuffie - get attacked by hordes of mushrooms. Er, maybe later when I get another 'all' materia then.

 

-

Rocket town, can't find the materia shop. Sigh. Shera points us towards Cid. Talking to Cid he describes the Wutai war as 'meaningless.' Interesting -  thoughts of veteran Cid pop up. Filing that away for later.

 

-

Oh my goodness the language! - gleeful at hearing the sit your %%^!ING ASS DOWN AND DRINK YOUR GODAMN TEA! line but I didn't think Square would let there be so much swearing - much enjoyment at the shits and ass' and damns that Cid drops. Also Palmer asked for lard in his tea. I'll just be gagging over here...

 

-

 

Fighting Palmer, then he runs away and gets hit by a truck. That is morality in play for you - cowards get hit by trucks, every time. 

 

-

Cutscenes, Cid joins us. Run around forests because I want Yuffie before the temple of the Ancients. Found her! Right...

 

-

Yuffie you are too easy. Not even in that way. Also, amused at the fourth wall breaking she does (when the party have gone on ahead she introduces herself directly to the camera.) also the mini out loud baby villain speech. Oh, darling.

 

Right, I'm going to grind a bit and materia hunt. Join me next time for ...

Do it! I'd read it (I mean, VII is my childhood, it's nostalgic for me :) )

Yes, Yuffie's entrance is quite--entertaining. You gonna head to Wutai?

Oh gawd, yes, Cid in VII is just awesome, and Palmer's choice of tea was just disgusting. The truck thing made me laugh, too. (You know, I'd always thought of Cid as a veteran of the war, too, but I'm not sure where that idea came from...)

I'm replaying XII and have been kinda thinking of doing something similar to this, but I just don't know if I have the attention span, XD

Make it a regular thing!

LOL, I know, I've had Vincent undoing all my hard work too. Sadly, once he's gone Galian, there's no going back. Unless you kill him. Wait'll you see Hellmasker, his weird Frankenstein's-Monster Limit Break.

Cid is such comic relief, I adore him. And hee, you might not like Yuffie so much once you go to Wutai. I'm just saying. :) But yeah, even if I never work her up or use her much at all, she's pretty cool.

A second comment in the positive? Idea cemented :D.

I've heard of Yuffie's less than stellar actions once you get to Wutai >.>. Grr. Ah well. I don't like her throwing stuff fighting style, but I like her character. Also my inner Vincent/Yuffie fangirl goes a little bit stupidmushy when I put them on the same team. One of my few Final fantasy het pairings I think actually.

One interested answer amongst the uncountable apathetic masses of the internet? I'M IN. XD.

I'd love if you did a FFXII version - you could do what I'm doing and just blog things that catch your attention rather than the storyline itself? Or save up reactions for a big post every now and again? Idk, but I'd read it for sure.

I read an amazing fanfic about Cid being captured as a P.O.W in the wutai war - with a close correlation to how some prisoners were treated in Japanese camps in WWII. Wish I could find it again to show you, it was stunningly done - there are so many PTSD Cloud fics but Cid was an interesting alternative.

Oh my goodness, I'd love to read that fic. XD That sounds right up my alley.

(I'll give the XII one a shot. :) )
