I should start with a bit of history first. Over the last seven years or so, I have tried to play this game three times before. Each time, I either quit out of boredom or frustration with how the game lacks a good core, yet has a bunch of extra crap that is missable (like a blitzball game that's dang near impossible to win, or dodging lightening bolts, etc.). However, I seem to be a masochist as I keep coming back to this game time and time again, and right now is no exception. I am determined to finish this game though, because until I do, I somehow feel like I'm letting myself down. Like the Little Engine That Could, I'm going to do this thing!



So I am now once again 10 hours into the game, after playing for a couple of afternoons, and the game is once again boring as all heck. The story is decent enough I suppose, but the action is lacking. Talk talk talk talk talk, that's all these characters do! Oh, and don't even get me started on that laughing for no reason junk, though to be fair FFX is not the only JRPG offender to waste time like that.



Anyways... Despite being bored again, I fully intend to finish the game this time. I'm not going to let the little things bother me. I'm going to put my head down and plow through this game until I reach the end! Wish me luck.

p.s. I've been on a book buying spree lately, mostly just the classics though. I'm not interested in anything that's been written in the last, eh, 40 years or so. If you guys have any book recommendations, feel free to mention them. Thanks.

p.p.s. Please don't be upset that I had some fun in that sheep contest. It was just a joke and there was no harm done. ^_^
