thistlechaserDropped my mother off at the airport about a half-hour ago. Was very sad to see her go, but was also sort of looking forward to time to myself again.
We stumbled across a small Egyptian museum and so we took that in (the grounds were especially nice, they had all sorts of foreign grasses and plants and such). It was packed with kids, but still enjoyable to see.
My apartment is oddly quiet. She was only here for a week, but it seems like longer. I feel silly, but: I miss my mommy. :}
------
All FFX-2 from here on, so ignore as you wish.
As intended, I started FFX-2 tonight. It's... not FFX-2. It's more like Yuna and two other girls (one not even from FFX) playing Charlie's Angels meets Britney Spears. It was sadly a very, very painful experience.
Lots of stuff was different. Unless I'm mistaken (I've not played FFX in a long time), Yuna has a different voice actress (and since she's the main character, this is a giant issue). And since when did the Al Bhed become Russian and seriously gay? I really, really (really) dislike the battle system.
I need a darned guide book for it. (Or need to look for an online FAQ, I suppose. I like guidebooks though.) I can't even figure how to toggle off the subtitles. Hate the dress grid system. Hate it. Why couldn't they stick with the battle system and grid system from FFX?
And I really, really hate Paine, too. The name makes me cringe. A warrior woman dressed in black leather named Paine. Gah.
I turned it off tonight because I'm too tired to deal with trying to learn new stuff for it. I'm really sad though, I hope it gets more like FFX as the game progresses.
