After feeling a bit disappointed with the end of the second disk, I think I subconsciously lost a little interest in this game, so I took a small break for a while to play others.

Oh man, Beatrix finding the loveletter is so great. And the fact that so many people are finding it is wonderful. Marcus' nose starts bleeding, ahaha that was great xD Sucks for Beatrix and Steiner, though! I was so looking forward to a super cute moment. So looking forward to Beatrix and Steiner getting together!

Garnet's ceremony dress is so pretty! ;__________________;

Hoooooly trout. Did not expect Bahamut to come in and start destroying trout. #troutgotrekt

Eiko is still annoying.

I empathize with Garnet a lot in her not knowing her role, not knowing what it is to do, not wanting or having to ask for help even though she seems lost and confused.

I am still so frustrated with the eidolons being released in the game so late. I understand the reason for it now, I just don't think it's a very good one. It completely wastes the possibility of using them for the entire game. Stupid, stupid. Alexander is awesome as trout, though. I've always liked him.

THAT smurfING EYEBALL. WHAT IS IT. WHY IS IT IN THE SKY AND WHY IS IT SO CREEPY. GO AWAY, SKEYEBALL.

Between Kuja, Amarant, and now Garland being introduced so late into the story, I'm pretty fed up with characters showing up late to the party. One I could handle. Three across different levels/platforms is pretty ridiculous.

The more I play this game, the more I remember echoes of haters berating FFVIII for its love story. I don't get it. Of the games I have played - VII, VIII and IX, it seems like the love story is pretty prominent in all of them. In FFVIII, Squall makes a decision to go rescue Rinoa, which ends up as a main arc in the story. Zidane does the same thing in FFIX. Why the hate for FFVIII, yet this one is loved so much more with a good portion of the story being the same? A mysterious girl runs away, meets boy, said girl is important in one way or another, decides to follow through with her duty of this and that involving some power or other that she and she alone holds and has to leave her group of friends after adventures traveled, guy decides to come rescue her from inevitable turmoil of x relating to that duty. This is incredibly puzzling to me. If anything, FFVIII seems more mature about it, and that would probably appeal to me more, so I don't understand why it's so hated. But I understand that FFIX is whimsical and more fantasy-based, and that would appeal to some. Hate FFVIII for different reasons, sure, but that is the most common complaint I hear is that FFVIII's lovestory sucks. This complaint coming from those who loved this game is not valid in any capacity because FFIX's lovestory follows along the same lines conspicuously closely.
