Incoherent Thoughts

Huh, they're getting new servers again here at IJ? This site sure is expanding quickly. =D

Finally got my copy of FF4 DS and FF12 Revenant Wings Ultimania today! So, instead of playing Revenant Wings..I've spent all day reading the Ultimania. Oops. You know, the book is quite a bit heavier than DS...although thankfully you can just put it down and continue reading instead of having to hold it all the time.
I obviously haven't had the time to read all of it (in fact..only the first part, World & Characters. And I leafed through the rest. Except the Missions part, I don't want to spoil the story), but what I've had time for looks just as good as the rest of the Ultimanias. I've even gotten good enough in Japanese that I can actually read it now instead of look at all the text and wonder what it means. xD I don't get all the details by any means, but enough to understand the topic and some of the details. Still need to learn a couple hundred more kanji to be able to read with any comfort, though. I keep forgetting how to read some of them, even though I know what they mean..and vice versa, although it's a bit more rare that way.

Figured it'd be a bad idea to start playing FF4 before finishing RW, so I haven't even opened the box yet. Need to be able to concentrate on that game so I can understand the Japanese. But anyway, looks like it'll be a couple more days (one, at the very least) before I can take it up - since I spent today reading the Ultimania I obviously haven't had the time to play. I'm only in the beginning of chapter 9, haven't even completed any of the optionals yet. I'll write about the last part of chapter 8 when I have more new stuff to mention.
