~Day 2~-And we're stuck in some creepy forest full of monsters. Also, CAPTURED PRINCESS! Quick, somebody go call Anita Sarkeesian!
-Haha, Steiner and Vivi got infected with evil spores that incubate inside their bodies until they hatch and cause instant death! Luckily out crew of scallywags* happens to have the cure. Don't ask where it came from or why they have it.
-Active Time Events are awesome and I wish more RPGs had this kind of thing. That, and Star Ocean's private actions are just sound game designs for story-heavy games. Not all scenes involve the main characters and being able to interact with my party in towns is a very simple way of adding a little extra flavor.
-Cinna is a total perv. He always carries around, and sleep with apparently, a doll of a 15 year old girl. At least it's not a body pillow, though.
-And now there's a flashback to 5 minutes ago! I know what happened, I just saw it!
-Heh heh, the band is playing the parade them from FF7. It's a such a simple thing, but I appreciate it.
-Suck it, plant boss, you ain't got no game. Had to use a metric ton of potions and phoenix downs, though, stupid area attack.
-RUN! It's a horde of killer plants!
-Oh, they turned to stone, I guess!
-I miss RPGs with expansive overworlds. I know it's one of those things that was done way back when because a detailed, interconnected world wasn't feasible, but I still miss it. Gave this sense of being part of an entire world full of strange and amazing locations. Square RPGs had some of the best overworld, too, and some of the best overworld themes, especially Final Fantasy IX and Xenogears.
-Ice Cave...Evil Forest, really imaginative names, there!
-And...save. Total time: 2 hours and 13 minutes.
