Almost summer break!

This journal's layout will only function right in Firefox! (And prolly Safari too, but I haven't tried that)

Man, it's too warm in the classroom I'm typing this from, I'm sweating like hell. Suffering from a headache and a major cold at the moment. Ugh... Not feeling well at all. Thing is, it's the fault of this stupid cold. I always feel like this when I have a cold. But there's duties to be done at school, so yeah. One more week, then it's slacking time. 8D

On the other side, summer has come, my favorite time of the year! Lots of free time, going outside, swimming, and just being lazy for the common good.
Or, I wish I could say that. It holds true to some extend, but I'm also hoping to get my drivers license this summer. And also, doing some extra work at the supermarket for some extra cash. Then there's Free Gaming 2009 and a Kingdom Hearts meeting this summer, that wants to come over and whatnot. x3


Woo! I've beaten the game. Quite funny that on the final planet, you get four save points almost directly after each other, in a relatively small area. While the final dungeon (I gotta hand it to them, that's one wicked but awesome dungeon), which is quite big, only houses one right before the final boss.

Talk about lengthy bosses... The final boss took me 3 freaking hours to defeat. There are 3 phases: Phase 1 is just a straightforward battle. Phase 2: Final boss transports you to another dimension in which you encounter all the previous bosses from the game. Did I mention no save points? Phase 3: You find a way back to the final boss, final boss transforms into a big monster which uses cheap attacks and is invincible until you destroy the 4 orbs around him.

That last phase certainly gave me troubles. I was way under-leveled to begin with.. But man, I was staring at my TV just mashing the attack buttons for like, 90 minutes? Sheesh. I like a challenge, but I certainly don't like lengthy bosses like that.
Well, I took it down, and the ending lasted for another 45 minutes. SO4:TLH is a sweet game, but man, the finale was just waaaaay too long.

Well, I'm now doing post-game stuff now, just finishing most of the quest, the Colosseum (fighting against your own party members can be quite tricky xD), and the 2 bonus dungeons. Still way too under-leveled to tackle bonus dungeon 1, though.

It's kinda weird, when I finish a game I usually never bother with the post-game stuff, but Star Ocean 4 is just an awesome game that deserves more attention span than just the main story. Aside from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, I never completed the post-game quests. (Well, in Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria I did this to some extend)

P.S. Arumat kicks ass. For reals. Maybe going to make some fanart of him soon.

Can you believe I can ramble so long about a game? It's certainly been a while I got sucked into a game just like that.
