It's more to do with the fact my interest in the game remains with the world presented, and not much in the grand adventure and saving the world etc... I have given it some thought and decided that it would only be right to finish the game before I go back in and enjoy messing around with my new found love of yellow materia mashups, and maybe taking a spab at Ruby and Emerald. I certainly intend to see the game through sometime this coming weekend, but there are two reasons now that make it feel somewhat of a chore.


Firstly, I have no interest in Sephiroth. None. I really dig the nuances of the plot that has unfolded, but the character of Sephi' just doesn't do much for me. Plus, by the time I started my second playthough, I had already had enough of everyone going on and on about him. I guess in this case, it might be just best to smack him down and then the deed is done.


The second misgiving I have at the moment is that I know it's going to be a major chore to sort through all the materia and re-equip everyone in a manner to my liking. I'll have to keep on phoning characters up and swapping the around, making sure I've got things covered etc... That's probably gonna be a half hour session of pain right there!

Could you elaborate on that? I don't quite understand what you mean.

So yeah, I think I'll go through with the deed at the weekend. I'm currently dipping into FFIX at the moment as well. Never got very far with that. I also bought a copy of FFX guide and a big hardback XII one on impulse the other day from a second hand bookshop. I thought they would just be fun to flick through at bedtime, but now I'm really rather interested how the newer battle systems seem to work. Might have to multi-task a bit soon.
