No impressions, no sig tutorial, just an update on life. So as many of you may already be aware of. Summer is over, and school is starting soon! Yes I hear your boos, and your hisses, and your boo worms and such, but it doesn't change the fact that school is an important aspect of your life. It's where you meet all your friends (where you share common game preferences and duke it on Melee), study it up (on game guides so you can be the best around) and of course just being the most popular (online on SF4 or something). Yes, school can be fun...if you like to read books, but what's better than a book? Reading the latest Nintendo Power so you too can learn the best secrets of any game.

(I silvur.cross do not endorse the idea of gaming over school education, please learn responsibly.)

Anyways, back to the subject of school. Fo' realz. Just wanted to share what my first week looks like at the prestigious life that is university:

Make no mistake, that's the ONLY ****I have on my first week. There's nothing under, nothing after, nothing but Object-Oriented Programming in UA1120 on a nice Thursday.

Pretty sweet huh? The real week starts the week after, did I mention that Thursday is my earliest lecture Yea, at 11 AM. While my latest is on Tuesday, ending at 10 PM. So I guess it evens out.

Man, I love university.

In other news, more specifically gaming news. Been playing Mass Effect. I don't normally play WRPGs, but I must say, this is a pretty damn good one. This and The Witcher are pretty fun. The shooting aspect makes combat interesting, the dialogue and story telling is perfect, there's a lot more, but I haven't even scratched the surface in this game.

Shooter mechanics plus RPG elements is what make Mass Effect so damn fun, and appealing.

I'm glad many have recommended it to me and I can understand where the praise is coming from. Hopefully I can complete this before school starts, looking at the GS guide, it seems fairly short. Not that it's a bad thing, just means there's a lot to look forward to in the sequel.

I'm also still playing BlazBlue, non stop. I play it at least for an hour when I come home from work just to make my day feel that much better. I've learned a lot more about the characters, seen some Astral Finishes, and understand a bit more of the gameplay mechanics. I've also taken up a new main, Haku-men. Why? Because he looks like a cyborg ninja with a sweet looking katana, not to mention, he's got the Nightmare stomp attack. And that's always fun, stomping on people. He's also a hard character to master, mainly because his attacks are fairly slow, but powerful, have good range, but sometimes when they're just out of reach, leave you open for attack, his skills also consume up magamata (or whatever), which his special skills also consume, so you pretty much have to manage them carefully, his skills are also sometimes predictable as a large symbol appears on the screen signifying he's performing one. His counter attacks are sometimes hard to get as it requires the ability to predict, and his astral heat is useless unless he gets hit, which is hard to do since it's just SOOOO obvious. He also lacks any projectiles which makes it hard when facing annoying Jins or something.

Black colored Haku-men is quite possibly the coolest looking thing ever.

I've also started to stop using Noel. Mainly because so many use her, and I've noticed a lot of vulnerable spots with her drive attack. That isn't to say she still isn't freaking hawt. Speaking of hawt, I think I found the hottest color variation of Litchi.

Blonde Litchi never looked so beautiful.

Anyways, by now you must be wondering what the blog title means. It means what it means, I plan to replay the FF series. Yea, that sounds crazy right, especially when I have so many games to go through. Which is why I hope to finish Tales of Vesperia, Xenosaga II + III and Mass Effect before school starts so I have all year long to play the FF series, not to mention all those SNES RPGs you guys mentioned (I must apologize for I have not gotten through them! I will for sure!) and other games like Alundra and various more.

Now what makes this playthrough a little different? Simple, I plan to play the latest version of every FF and do EVERYTHING. Yes, EVERYTHING. Now it doesn't seem like much to a few of you, but I'm talking about beating every secret boss, get every possible item etc. As an FF fan, I've never gotten the chance to beat say Ruby Weapon, or Emerald Weapon, but now's the chance. I've never once fully completed an FF, so this time around, I plan to do so.

The hard thing will be getting some versions of certain games, namely the International version of X and X-2 or the Zodiac Job System version of XII. But I'm definetly looking for them and will try to get them. Here's a list of the latest of every FF (that I know of):

-Final Fantasy I - Includes Dawn of Souls dungeon + Labyrinth of Time which holds one of the strongest secret bosses (PSP)

-Final Fantasy II - Same as I I believe. (PSP)

-Final Fantasy III - Remake of the NES version, change of jobs, Freelancer as worst, Onion Knight as best. (DS)

-Final Fantasy IV - The hardest version to date, includes Augments. (DS)

-Final Fantasy V - Not sure what extra content this version has (GBA)

-Final Fantasy VI - Extra dungeon (GBA)

-Final Fantasy VII - Nothing has been added (PS1)

-Final Fantasy VIII - Nothing has been added (PS1)

-Final Fantasy IX - Nothing has been added (PS1)

-Final Fantasy X International - Extra boss, harder than Braska's Final Aeon (PS2)

-Final Fantasy X-2 International - I think more dress spheres (PS2)

-Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Job System - FF12 with a job system I believe (PS2)

So those are the versions I'll be playing. Please don't say PC version of FF7 and FF8, they don't work properly on my laptop nor do I even want to find them when I have the PS1 versions.

NOT MY PICTURE!!

Pretty much what I'll be playing. And NO this is NOT my PICTURE. I lol'd because he has an X-2 and DoC guide. I don't recognize the version of FF12 he has.

Anyways guys, enjoy your summer, love school and all that stuff. This is silvur saying...stay c.lassy, Carmen SanDiego.
