Of shopping and Final Fantasy

Greetings fellow minions! Or random person who just stumbled onto my blog and is now utterly regretting it. After a long and well deserved break, I am back and no, I’m not in black in fact I’m in different shades of green, the question on your mind must be: hmm, where did Neurotic Indisposition go? Well to answer that I will mainly tell you that my family was visiting me from Dubai mainly my cousin who was here to give his Nust entry exam, so MYFQ, if you’re reading this, we’re all waiting for you in Islamabad! So while he was over I, as I rarely do, got the chance to go out and shop… and no, not for clothes, I’d rather drown myself in burning hot oil than subject myself to the torture of shopping for clothes, instead I went shopping for books and CDs, ah yes, now these are the materials which make shopping all the more interesting!

Catching up on some reading was most satisfying, and I thank my love monkey for that and for all you reading I do recommend that you read the magnificent author know as Dean Koontz, for he has captivated me by his unique style of writing. I also got to watch a few classic old movies the day before MYFQ was supposed to leave, in case you’re wondering, we watched “Interview with the vampire” and “Aliens.”

But most of all, I got to play Crisis Core! This was the game that I had had been waiting on hands and knees for since I heard about its release because, like most Final Fantasy 7 fans, I am an avid fan Zack Fair (yes Fair, there I said it!) and though his last name got to me, nothing else did because this game was exactly like I had imagined it, from the beginning to the end, the characters were loveable to say the least and had the ability to attach themselves to you, and I must say, it was a relief to see Sephiroth before he transformed into a schizophrenic maniac, and as much as I hate to admit it, I also bear a soft spot for Genesis XD well Bishi galore aside, the cut scenes were brilliant as always and I must applaud the DMV which was a great addition to the fighting style of the game.

The forced love triangle was a bit too much for me and frankly, being a Zack/Aerith fan, I didn’t approve of Cissinei at all but to each is own, I suppose, all in all, the overall plot of final fantasy 7 all ties up which is a relief because I was expecting a few minor plot holes to be honest. I also, appreciated the puns and hints at the previous final fantasy 7 and I suggest that if you haven’t played that as well, do try and get your hands on it!

But most of all, Zack! He was everything I thought he would be; loyal, charming, funny, adorable, with the right amount of sex appeal all rolled into one, a ravishing package, don’t you agree ladies? And yes yes, I did cry profusely, from the middle to the end! I will not spoil it for anyone but I suggest that you play the game, it’s on the PSP and if you, like me, don’t own one, temporarily steal it from your friends like I did XD
