Just beaten it, and whilst I've obviously known all along it was coming, the end of the game still put a big lump in my throat. Makes me wanna play VII again so that I can beat the shit outta Shin-Ra and Sephiroth.

Sephiroth had no damn reason to betray Zack. It really pissed me off at how cool he was throughout the game only to act like a bitch later on because Genesis told him something he didn't like.

Recently got this as I bought myself a PSP for a good price, really love it so far. DMW is random as fuck though, but the limit break things are kind of cool, and I love how the summons attacks look in this game (even if you don't get to use them (yet?))

I'm not to far into it though, did the Banora chapter and am now back in Midgar and Sephi just called me to the sector 5 reactor. Love Sephi's character too, it's nice to see him be a good guy for once, although he is going to end up fucking it up probably.

How are you progressing with this Eevil?

The excessive amount of "blablablabla dreams blablablablabla honor" and Genesis' poetry made him quit.

Oh, right, finished it a couple of days ago. I had to really fight to the end though, the battles were really starting to annoy me, so it was tough getting through it, but I made it.

Genesis was fucking annoying as hell, but overall I really liked the story. The whole stuff with Aerith really got to me though, because you know all the stuff that's going to happen, and the way they portrayed her in this, I just couldn't help being somewhat emotional. And then that ending totally did it, even if I knew what was gonna happen...

I found Aerith's portrayal in CC to be a bit irritating. Her personality, mannerisms, and dialogue were that of an airheaded and overly cutesy stock anime girl. Nothing she said ever really sounded that natural or felt believable. The same thing can be said about most of the characters in this game, really.

The part about acting unnatural, I mean.

If everyone were acting like airheaded animu girlz, CC would have probably been an interesting experience.

Yeah, I think that's true of most people. You know it's coming, you think you're ready for it and it still hits you like a truck.
