Meh. FF7 is eating my life. Nah, not really.

Good thing the PSP belongs to my cousin and I can only get my hands on it at night, when he's home and studying for his exams. Hahaha.

Funny when I think back, but the original FF7 came out at a time when I wasn't very into computer games, and even a while after its release and I *did* get started on games, I drifted more towards stuff like Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital and Red Alert and the C&C universe, where I could build stuff.

But anyway, was watching my cousin's Advent Children disc a few weeks ago when I was slacking at home on a weekend with nothing to do, and I realised that there're a lot of "gaps" in the movie. Coz hey, that's like the latest part of the whole long complicated and emo storyline.

Seriously, I think FF7 defined "emo". It created "emo" before there was "emo". It made "emo" cool. You get my point.

So, before I digress. Me being me, does not like "gaps" in my nice storylines. So. To Wikipedia we shall go. XD

So I poked around on Wikipedia and found that the story is long and convoluted and oh my god, still expanding. Will it never end.

But! It has all sorts of elements that I like, like the angst and the lovely characters. Gerri loves her main characters wonderfully flawed, and let's face it, isn't Cloud the most damaged thing you've ever seen? The Japanese make stories right up Gerri's alley, yes sirree. XD

And Crisis Core is kinda fun. Except for cutscenes where certain characters spout long lines of quotations which make no sense. Those are annoying. Quit quoting your stupid book at everybody! I still don't get why the silly book is so relevant to the storyline. *scratches head*

Ladeeda. Rant over. Now to find some nice wallpaper. My desktop needs a change of scenery.
