Hiya guys!

Wanted to tell you guys about my thoughts regarding this game.

I need to tell you that after final fantasy seven and eight I've never played any other final fantasy game, that is untill number 13 of this rpg cluster was released.

So at first I was a little against the whole thing about roles, only one summon per character and playing with six different characters. But hey, I guess you just have to adjust that the world won't stay in the same shape for too long not even the gaming world ;)

Now after having played this game for a month (no not 24/7 in a month, I'm talking like some days.) I can easily say that I love the story it has a brilliant concept, amazing well thought drama and addicting story. As I said about the gameplay it's just something I had to adjust to. Sure there are some thing I would like to have different.

Now about the leveling system

Each time you win a battle phase so to speak you'll get a certain amount of Crystarium Points (CP) with these points you'll get to choose different roles which contains different kinds of abilities. For instance - Ravager is the role for those who want to amass a high chain gauge (We'll get to more of that later.) and the commando is the role if you want to keep the chain gauge amassed untill the staggering point has been reached.

Now all charcaters do not have every role that's possible, it would probably be a little too easy then. So you've got find some sort of balance if you wish to take down your foes with some nice tactics and save yourself some time.

Chain Gauge

Every enemy has a staggering point and where there's a stagger point there's a chain gauge.
let's say your enemy has the stagger point at 150% then a good way to reach that is to use one or two ravagers and one commando. Of course you can use three if you'd like but remember the commando keeps the gauge loaded. Otherwise the gauge will sink very fast which could mean if no one attacks before i reaches zero again you would have to amass it again.

Paradigms

A paradigm is a battle team setup if you'd like to call it that. As far as I know you can have six different setups - for instance: Let's say you've only got two characters in your team for the moment, then you need to have different kinds of paradigms. My recommendation is
Paradigm 1 - Commando - Ravager
Paradigm 2 - Commando - Medic
Paradigm 3 - Ravager - Ravager
Paradigm 4 - Synergist - Saboteur

Money

You still use Gil as your currency and to be honest I haven't figured out an easy way to earn plenty of gil so that I can spend it on whatever I'd like, but hey that's kinda what makes this game a challenger ^^

Well folks that's all for today, unfortunately I haven't beat the game yet so I'm off to do that soon!

There is a lot more info about the game but I just don't know what more to tell ya x)

"A small leak can sink a great ship"

I've been called lazy many times in my life, I used to despise being called that. Now that it's a new week I turned over a new leaf, I now see it as a challenge. A challenge to prove something and it's not about me not being lazy, since I am, we all are. No this makes me want to prove that being lazy isn't something you should be afraid of being called.

If you ever get called lazy, here's what I answer from this day on, "Yes I am lazy! something wrong with that? don't I still get my tasks done ?" (Of course this is only usable if you actually get your job done)

Now I was called lazy today for not taking more classes than I do, and this made me change my mind about taking more classes.

Now something I've known for so long yet never really realizing it. Everyday I make over a thousand choices in my brain. Should I eat breakfast, should I wear this today when I go out, Should I tell people around me how I really feel. What I mean is that our choices alters our life.

And here's what I've been feeling blue a lot lately, but just for today it changed, oddly enough a day is all I need to get determined about changing my lifestyle.

I just realized another thing, I haven't told you guys why I write in english when I'm from sweden. You see I have an excellent vocabulary both in english and swedish (First time I actually admit to myself I'm good at something) but I think that english has a better ring to it when it comes to me talking about my feelings.

A week ago I talked to my guidance counsellor about applying to the university, now right away I had an obstacle ahead of me. She told me I didn't have enough points yet. Two weeks ago I had a problem choosing between applying for Archeology or Teaching in english. Five hours ago I began making up a plan of how I'm supposed to get enough points and I even decided which of the two subjects I want to learn more about.

Guess what! I chose both subjects. First archeology and then teaching.

I should probably warn you guys that in my next contribution to this blog will probably be depressing again, but if you want to get to know me that's a part of me you have to live with me untill I'm done with it.

In my other blog that I've shutdown I always wrote my song for the day and a quote too, I'm thinking I should give you guys the same joy!

Starring at that white white ceiling, listening to the buzzing sound in the background, seeing the screen turning dark along with the room, watching into darkness as I’m waiting for my eyes to adjust to the dark.

The first thing I see is that empty leather armchair..

What am I doing? waking up, getting dressed, eating my breakfast and then filling my days with nothing but time consuming crap!

Lies, deception and betrayal. It’s all part of my daily life routine, I myself decieve people, I’m getting lied to and I’ve been betrayed more times than I can count.

One part of me is that humble, considerate and nice guy that’s always smiling and trying to lighten up the mood. That part of me is in pain.

The other part of me is the one that I don’t show to people that often. The mask is breaking for every day that passes, I’ve been able to keep the charade going but now it’s taking it’s toll on me.

This part is also in pain, beeing stuck between who I approach people as and the one that’s hiding inside of me is the worst thing that could’ve ever happened to me. We’ve all got our demons, but my demons feels as if they’re tearing me apart if I don’t let them out.

Perfection: is a word that explains that the descendant of this object or person is unable to beat it’s predecessor.

You know the saying laughing on the inside, well I’m crying.
