I has an Albert!
So in my last post I mentioned how I have a PSP now. It has been christened Albert, largely to stop my mother referring to it was "pusp". "Pusp" sounds like a skin disease, and is therefore not suitable for lovely, shiny Albert.

Anyway - I've been playing Crisis Core for a while now, and having great fun. I had a surreal moment when I first heard Zack speak, though, since I'd just been playing FFX-2 and immediately thought, "Why is Gippal in FF7?"

One thing I absolutely love about Crisis Core, though, is how they've included/updated music from the original FF7 and stuck it in wherever they can. It makes it so much more of a love song to the fans, while still being a good game with very good music for the newbies - it also gives things more of a haunting air, like how the background music in the Shinra building changes to the one from FF7 partway through the game, as if to say, "Here, this is what happened to make Shinra into the one you know from FF7 and not the happy-shiny-bouncy Zack kind." WAAAAH.

Plus nothing tops a half-naked Zack beating the crap out of things with a beach umbrella. Nothing.

(The end sequence to those missions, though, is really sad. It says a lot about Zack's character, only I'm not sure it's a good "lot".)

Off to play more... :D Also: HAPPY NEW YEAR! (And merry Christmas, too, since I forgot to add that previously.)
