I tried not to keysmash

Been reading fics at decyphered, and there is TLR/FFXII crossover. It makes so much sense it hurts. I can even imagine that Rabanastre being part of Athlum. Oh my God. It probably does help that the idea of Torgal/Fran is very hot. Balthier, unable to skypirate for one reason or another (saving funds for repair/new ship/hiding from a warrant), can run a pub similar to Warrior's Honor. Maybe he is really the bartender at Warrior's Honor, being incredibly gay to avoid detection. Vaan is Pleasant Young Man mwahahaha because I don't care about him.

Best for all: BASCH CAN BE EMMA'S HUSBAND. Yesyesyesyesyes.

*googles* Okay, Wikipedia says the FF12 team visited TURKEY for inspiration. Ha. HA! It wasn't like we weren't just saying yesterday that Athlum reminds us of Istanbul.

Okay I'm being too excited. Need to... get back to work... Basch/Emma OMG.

Oh, hi. I'm a nice, balanced person. Really.

BR's effect (that of screwing you over if you raise it too fast) has been toned down a long way in the PC version. Apparently.

Oh, and a note on classes: you'll get options to direct class/arts/skills growth for your leaders every so often; they may ask where they should focus their training or if they should learn a new skill set. This will affect the classes somewhat, along with what arts you're making them use most and so on; if you're pushing them towards more mystic skills, they'll flip over to a mystic class path, etc. Detailed info on classes is on the wiki.

I love the wiki so much. It's so detailed. I have no idea how I managed to complete the game without it, in retrospect. :P

(Oops, should have posted this in reply to vanillafire, really. You know this stuff already. :P Oh well.)

The wiki is a treasure trove! There must be people even more obsessed than we are, experimenting with every combination and every option repeatedly, otherwise I've no idea how they find out about all that stuff. >>

[storme]

How much of the obsessive detail is in the japanese guide?

But yeah, even so, a lot has to be out of rabidly-obsessive replaying and note-taking. Pretty damned impressive, really.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

A lot! But the Japanese guide only covers the xbox version, so whoever figured out the PC stuff... O_O

[storme]

Yeah, *is scared*

Still, once again, nice to not be the most obsessive fan out there, huh?

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But it also depends on what you consider "obsessive"... *thinks about the Gae Bolg at home, and that horrible desire to make Frostblade*

[storme]

*giggle*

Okay, nice not to be the *only* obsessive fan, then. And your brand of obsessiveness ends up with pretty shiny toys to play with!


(Oh, god, Frostblade. That would be very pretty but very very hard to make, surely?)

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

The shiny toys take up a lot of room!

(I've NO IDEA how to make it. Buy lots of plastic icicles they use for Christmas decoration and then glue them together, maybe. orz)

[storme]

Roomspace is well worth using for toys!

Dave does like such *sparkly* toys, too. Rush has kind of boring taste, really (except in Daves).

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I think to myself it is a good thing that they hadn't produced any merchandise. *sigh*

Well Dave will just have to teach him!

[storme]

Sigh, maybe. But I still wish I had little Dave and Rush statues to gaze at.

I'm sure Dave can teach Rush many many things about sparkliness.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Dave cannot help but wonder if Rush is sparkly when he... oh wait, spoiler. *censors!*

[storme]

*giggles*

He will just have to find out for himself. :P
