ugh ugh I hate being ill. Every time I have a cold my sinuses fill up. ugghhh.

I want to write Fesseln des Verrats fic about Shusei and Hotsuma. I want to watch Hikago.

I never got why people could get bored to tears playing video games until I started Eternal Sonata. It's a pity since I like the battle system and the graphics have this cute, fairy tale-like feel, but I think I'm only going to get through it by skipping all the cutscenes. The introduction was boring as fuck and Polka is one of those characters that makes you either go 'aww she's so cute and woobie I just want to hug her' (like Nobuta) or 'oh god not this tired stereotype again' and for me she definitely hit the latter. Alegretto was obviously supposed to be the jerk with a heart of gold but they went too far over the line and he's mostly just a jerkass which makes me sorry for Beat up until he says something stupid, and that's often. The only funny thing so far was Chopin pretty much immediately telling Polka she was just a figment of his imagination. And that forest dungeon at night in the beginning was gorgeous and gave this Alice in Wonderland sort of feel.


'What would Marquis Priam's plan be? Probably "kill it with fire"!'
oh god how could I ever forget just how much I love The Last Remnant. 'Dude, suck it up.' haha you tell him Rush.

haha, yeah, Eternal Sonata's battle system is probably its strongest suit -- I liked Retto pretty decently, and there are a few characters later on that I wanted to do things with...but yeah. The story starts on shaky ground and really just gets progressively weirder. And not in an elegant mindfuck kind of way, more just in a "...what seriously" kind of way. ^^;

I'm not terribly far yet - have just gotten the initial four in my party. Alegretto... sometimes I like him: his first impression was good, but immediately after that he put his foot in his mouth rather spectacularly and I've been waffling on the liking him front. But as it stands, Retto is still the most likable of them, considering I have absolutely no opinion of Chopin yet, considering that he doesn't appear to have a personality and Beat has his priorities in a very strange order.

It's sort of a shame that it's apparently only downhill from here, because yeah, the battle system is nice and the graphics are very cute. Just... the character models move somewhat disturbingly, what with their arms constantly at that 90 degree angle with each other (if that makes any sense).
