EXCELLENT LIFE CHOICES

[lowkey]

I got in bed at ten, stayed up until one writing a new fanfic. I REGRET NOTHING

Basically, it's a WIP fixfic that I'M SURE WILL SOLVE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! that's not right with FFXIII's ending. Oh, and Hope gets up-aged so that he and Lightning can hook up.

Fan fiction: don't like the original world? BUILD A NEW ONE

You know, it took me a REALLY long time to find an FF icon that expressed any sort of exuberance.

Final Fantasy: very good at making emotionally fucked-up bad asses, not good at much else.

You should play FFIX. Zidane was an upbeat badass. He was the reason I never really liked Tidus. Zidane was a classic womanizing thief who fell for the princess and was just a sweetheart underneath it all. And he was a BAMF.

So basically, Zidane = Han Solo?

You know, on that recommendation alone, I think I will play FFIX.

Kinda. Except way, way less of a jerk. I'd recommend it. It's not the most popular by FF standards, but frankly, I think it's one of the best. It has a really good story and the characters have a depth that a lot of the Final Fantasies missed (VIII and XIII, I'm looking at you).

There wasn't a single main in IX who was there just to be there, even the gag character, Quina. And the story was complex without being the cluster fuck of Tactics or XII, and it was so much more subtle than XIII ever was.
