Steal Heart
Aug. 15th, 2008 09:44 amSince Fire Emblem was really hard and too annoying because characters died too easily, I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics recently. It's an old game, and I have Tactics Advanced, but it's still amazing (and better than Tactics Advanced, imo.) I've played it before, but it's been so long that I mostly forget the story. Also, the story's kind of ridiculous, but that's also something that makes it great (and better than Tactics Advanced.) The music is beautiful, and the music in the opening totally gets me psyched up to play it. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I still feel like some of the things they were able to do with the character sprites are positively brilliant. In short, this game is awesome.
I'm not sure how familiar anyone reading this is with Final Fantasy Tactics, so although I partially want to talk about some of the funny things in the game and how far I am in the game, I won't right now, but I might some other time.
Anyways, yesterday, I picked up my schedule for school. I already mostly knew it, except all the teachers and room numbers, since they were scheduling conflicts, but it's nice to have it on paper. While my family was out, we went to a fabric store, since I had told my parents that I wanted to make a Roman costume. Since there was some type of sale going on, we went ahead and bought fabric for it and some type of rope to use as a belt. I'll still need to get something to use for the fastenings at the shoulder and my mom said she needed to get thread, but it's exciting that I'm going to make it. If you're curious, the outfit I want to make is described here: http://www.vroma.org/~bmcmanus/clothing2.html It's the first one, the peplos. The other one was more common, but although I don't usually wear sleeveless clothing, I wouldn't want to deal with so much extra fabric around me all for the sake of sleeves.
In the past few days, I finally decided on a name for the fantasy world I've been working on: Nar. However, although I say I've decided I'm still not entirely sure. I've already come up with four characters in this world (before deciding on a name for it...), but I still need to draw a simple map of the world, come up with countries and names and governments for those countries. I have so very very much work to do on it...
