Okay, so I officially win my first eBay auction. I got Romancing Saga 3 for $10.50. I’m excited. I’ve alwas been curious about the Romancing Saga series… After Saga Frontier for the Playstation, however, I didn’t dare spend $40 on a Super Famicom cartridge, though. I found out that Romancing Saga 3 isn’t like Saga Frontier, though. It seems to use the Free Scenario System to help guide one of many lead characters through the same story line. Also, it uses the system to allow you to get the different characters to join you. I looked at a list of playable characters and it was freakin’ huge. This game should prove interesting for at least a few hours. More importantly, I’ve wanted to continue collection Super Famicom (the Japanese Super NES) games for some time, but at $50-$70 a crack, I decided against it. Looks like I can go ahead with this now. :)
I find myself falling more and more back into gaming. It’s strange. I played Final Fantasy IX last night for what was supposed to be an hour. It turned into like three. I’m fairly close to the end of the game too. It’s a good game. I’d say it might be more linnear than Final Fantasy VIII, but it’s still way better. Me gusta/J’aime/Suki desu.
I also downloaded Secret of Mana MP3s last night. I wasn’t going to, but I found them on Hotline and thought, “What the hell?” After listening to two or three I think I was glad I had downloaded them. I got Angel’s Fear (title theme), Star of Darkness(darker flight theme), Give Love It’s Rightful (Mana Fortress theme), This Sole Wish (strange), and Prayer of the Arctic Circle (battle with the Mana Beast). While the synth isn’t that great, it does bring back memories, and that’s what it’s all about, right? Sort of like the Legend of Zelda song Nic made me download. (”Link, fill up your hearts!”).
I read more psychology last night. I think I’m getting close to done with the reading assignments. I know I’m more than half done at this point, anyway. I have to have it all ready by Tuesday. Shouldn’t be too hard. I also went Christmas shopping last night. I’m all done with my siblings, and that’s good. I can probably get out of going by “discussing” gifts for mom and dad with the respective other parent. Thing is, next week is finals. I’ll be like doing mad amounts of calculus next week. And once I’m done with finals on Thursday, I go back to work on Friday. Speaking of, I have to go to that place tonight. Only five hours though, so it shouldn’t be too bad.
