KH report, FFX obsession edition

I finished the Auron plotline in Kingdom Hearts II today. I was right -- he had another arc. It was too short, but then I always knew that would be the case, and there was one bit I found so satisfying that I am still in sighing fangirl mode. Also, it seems likely that I can go back and pound on Heartless with him any time I like now, so hooray for that. ;)

Yesterday I got the first Y-R-P scene, and it was perfectly done. So beautiful I had to reload the game and watch it again; fortunately, I was very near a save. There must be more with them, and I'm much less certain where that's going to go, so I look forward to that. I guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Lastly, I also had my first meeting with Sephiroth yesterday. He's voiced by the same actor who played Nooj in FFX-2, which I find both somewhat jarring and oddly appropriate....

More AURON. Argh.

I know. Even if I hadn't really liked the first game, I would have been tempted to pick up this one just for the promise of *new Auron content*. And it is lovely stuff.

I was dubious about KH I, but then my brother, who doesn't normally like fluffy stuff (he didn't care for FFX-2 either) told me how awesome it was. So I tried it and found he was right. Not to ssay it will definitely be your thing, but you might like it more than you expect to.

As one of the six people on the planet who actually rather liked X-2 ;) I'm sorry to hear it's not working for you. Have you gotten to the parts of the game dealing Paine's backstory? They start popping up in the middle of Chapter 2. That was what really sucked me in and kept me going.

40,000 words in two months yeepity

Totally know what you mean. I started on fanfic about a year and a half ago, after approximately a 15 year absence from any fictional writing whatsoever, and the second thing I dove into turned out to be a 146,000 word epic. And the third thing, which actually interrupted my work on the second, was a collaborative novel, my part being over 30k words and written in less than a month and a half. The muses drive us, but it's so worth it.
