Tuesday: I went to Best Buy after work to pick up the latest Final Fantasy. They actually had it in stock! Psyched to play it, but I have to prepare a document for work tomorrow, and don't want to rush getting it printed in the morning. I'll watch the opening cinema and read some of the instructions in bed. Maybe I'll play a little just to see the in-game graphics. Let me just set the game on my console while I get myself some coffee...
Wednesday: I feel bad I didn't get to unwrap the game yet. But the box art looks great! I'm definitely playing at least 3 hours when I get home tonight. (...10 hours later) - I'm back, and am going to make dinner while I listen to last week's episode of Heroes which I didn't get to watch. After I get something in my stomach, it's all about Vaan. I'm so excited; I haven't played a FF game in 6 years. Wow, the opening cinema is so nostalgic with the music blaring as I finish up an email I had been meaning to write the day before.
Thursday morning: I'm going to watch the opening cinema before I head to work…the music kept looping in my head as I was in the shower, I need to hear it again otherwise I'll be humming it all day. I might as well watch it too. Oh my gosh, airships, I feel like I've seen these in other FF games before but can't think of a single example. Wow, I like how the mood changes up and the guys in armor look all menacing. I wonder if those are the bad guys? I have to find out tonight.
Thursday night: Forgot I had two events to go to tonight, one for work and the other for a friend. I should be home by 10, which is at least 3 hours of play time before I absolutely need to get to bed. Hopefully I won't get too drunk at my friend's party. Just because Friday is Casual Day doesn't mean I can act casually inebriated too. I still have to work. My friends don't seem to care that I've had the latest Final Fantasy in my possession for 2 days and haven't started a new game yet. Non-gamers just don't understand...haha...bartender!
Friday: Been feeling icky all day. But managed to finish all my work for the weekend! 60 hours of glorious play time! I can actually beat the game if I'm diligent. I'm going to just plop down on the couch and watch some TV to get relaxed...Did I really nap for that long? It's practically morning. Okay, well I can play now. This game is awesome! It's like everything I'd ever wanted in a FF game. And finally, no random battles! Wait, no way! This T-Rex looked really easy to beat. And I haven't saved since I started 2 hours ago. How could it kill me in one hit? I'm so shocked I can't even verbalize how annoyed I am. Stupid T-Rex. Why would they put such a hard boss right in the middle of the opening area? I'm going back to bed.
Late Saturday Afternoon: Go out and socialize; or stay in and play games. Go out. Stay in. Out. In. This decision is really hard. I need to play this game. What will all of my gaming friends say when they've already beaten the game and I've yet to make it past the first area? But then what will all my other friends say to my anti-socializing? No, I must be strong. I'm going to play this game all night long.
Sunday: Justification at last. 4 hours in. Not as much as I wanted to play, but a good start. My attention span must have shortened since it has been ages since I played a quality RPG. I should write about what a crazy week I've had and how tragic my not playing FF XII at all has been.
*A similar week passes*
Strangely enough, I don't feel that tired after working 60 hours this week. Now, what game was I playing again?
