Randomness.

I've started seeing a chiropractor. My back feels even better than before. Not perfect yet, mind you, but the small nagging pain in my spine that wouldn't go away with the other therapy is gone now.

Anyway, I haven't done much - finished FFX-2 (didn't get 100% completion [and like hell I'm going to try - stupid Beclem, stupid Sphere Break... *mutter*]; loved the two "normal" endings, though) and watched Fruits Basket (was nice, I think I'll like the manga even more now). Also watched the first 4 episodes of .hack//Legend of the Twilight. It's fairly cute - I like the fact that Sanjuro's in it, too (I've only played the first game and the beginning scenes of the second, but I like him and his samurai movie geekery already. ^^).

Oh yeah, and chaoscheebs? iwaki? Another friend of mine's playing Arc 2 right now, and she too, sees the Shu x Tosh-ness. Slowly... we shall slowly take over, mwahahahah. ^_^

EEEEEE!! Finished FFX-2?

Please tell me you like Baralai!

As for the 100% completion, there's some FAQS that can help. Plus, there's some great scenes if you try to go for it. And Gunner's Gauntlet has a trick. That's also at gamefaqs.

*LOL* As far as I saw (I got 91% completion, and I got his sphere plus all the Crimson Speheres save for the last one, so I think I saw just about all that was related to him.), I thought Baralai was alright. Ditto Nooj and Gippal. And Paine's just really cool. :D

I was also glad to see Isaaru get to redeem himself, after the whole tourism mess. *LOL* Poor guy.

Anyway, I don't think I'll be playing it again for a while - while the story and the fighting was fun, it was still a little tedious in some parts, and I'm already in the mood for something else. ^_^; Thanks for the tips, though! :)

Did you see the scene in the Bevelle Underground with the three men together? Great scene.

As for Isaaru, did you ever see the brothers re-unite on the comm spheres? That was classic!

And yes, it was good to see that Isaaru returned to Bevelle. That's how I ended up pairing Baralai/Isaaru! HEEE!

You mean the one where Shuyin went from possessing Nooj to possessing Baralai, and the Marbolo interrupted? Yeah, I did. That was a cool scene. :D

Yeah, I saw that. BZZZAAAAAAAAP! Poor Maroda, heehee! XD

Ah, I was wondering where you got the inspiration for that pairing. Personally, I didn't see much of any pairings, other than what was shown (Tidus x Yuna, Shuyin x Lenne, and Nooj x Leblanc). However, the game's open for plenty of creative ideas. :)

Oh, oh! You know what scene I also liked? When you speak to Maechen in Zanarkand for the final time. I was already starting to suspect he was unsent, but it moved me to tears anyway. Such a nice old dude... ;_;

I used to pair Baralai/Paine until it was replaced with Baralai/Gippal. I got those from the spheres and the Normal Ending.

As for Maechan, I was always interested in his stories.

It's implied that Sanjuro's an American obsessed with old Kurosawa flicks.

I've seen all the movies he's mentioned in his e-mails thus far. XD

[aruru.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed that all the titles he mentioned thus far were Kurosawa productions.

He also mentions having action figures in at least one of the emails, making him a total fanboy. XD

*joins in an evil cackle*

Mwahahaha!

I _wish_ there were Yojimbo action figures. I'd buy 'em in a second. :)

*Joins in too* The power of bare-chested samurai and ninja gunmen will compel all!
