Sean here. Let me start with a couple of things. 1. I'm glad someone is taking the time to read this blog and give feedback. 2. Teague, great post. You definitely ironed out some of the finer points we've been trying to make. 3. If you need a copy of shining force, I still have mine. 4. Whoever your friend is that has beaten battletoads for the nes, be sure to give them props for me. That's DAMN impressive.
The other thing I'm posting about, is I finally started Final Fantasy 6. Because I'm playing the playstation iteration, cut cinema scenes have been added that I feel great add substance to the story. The snes may be what we NOW consider to be "graphically limited", but for the times, this game was a masterpiece visually and in storytelling, and the fact that I'm still enjoying it 15 years later is a great testament.
So, I've decided to describe my first journey back into ff6 through a Haiku poem.
"Magic's last child"
"Riding her metal beast"
"Destruction in her wake"
For all your critics out there, I have no idea if this is proper Haiku, and frankly I don't give a damn.
So I had totally forgotten about the giant snail you have to fight in the beginning of the game. I felt kinda bad for it. I had 3 people riding mecha, armed with seriously heavy magic and the only thing snail had was slime and apprently the word "gruu". I don't think this was evenly matched. Killing a mosquito with a cannon type shit.
It is nice to be playing a final fantasy game where nearly all the characters are awesome. More often than not, in the more recent final fantasy's there's at least one main character everyone despises.
So that's my first delve into FF6. More to follow. - Sean

haikus are three line poems, with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second line and 5 in the third line. You had 4, 6, 6. So close, yet so far! ;P
