Boo-yah, baby, Boo-yah!

[azurite]

I do not like Jim Cramer. I just felt like saying "Boo-yah" because there are only 18 days left till my 21st birthday! WHOO! And I'll be in Hawaii sipping Mai Tais~

At the behest of many people, I shall also be starting on "Kaiba the Virgin Sacrifice" soon. It'll start out kind of dark (because it has to), but trust me, it'll get steamy/sexy/sensual enough to "keep your attention." I hope. *impish smile* As I said in my last post, I did work on WDKY24. Alas, it's coming along slower than I intended, if only because I keep thinking I'm writing very dryly, "telling" and not "showing." There are parts when I honestly think it needs to be more emotionally-driven, perhaps with dialogue, and yet I can't think of the right words to say. This is a long chapter already, too: I haven't finished it, and it's already 114KB! Mostly, I have left to write the final duel scene, the conclusion of the chapter (with teasers for the Next Big Arc, coming in Ch. 26), and some bits of Anubis' past, which I hope won't be too confusing/historically inaccurate.

Last night I got up to Cloister 30 in Via Infinitio, and all the Elder Drakes ramming themselves into the walls (migraine, much?) keep scaring me off. I just run past them, avoiding the fight... even though I need to fight one of them to get them into Shinra's Bestiary, and even if it means "fighting" them and running away X amount of times until they oversoul, I still have to face them. ;_; But they SCARE me! Isn't that stupid? I have a bunch of monsters I have yet to oversoul, and the sucky part is, I can't do it without getting all the way through Via Infinitio. That's the only way to get 100% in the game: beat Trema and Paragon. But the reward for doing so is The End garment grid, which lets you Break Damage Limit... which I totally need. Obviously, the problem is, I'd like to Break Damage Limit BEFORE I have to face those guys... otherwise it'll just be me going back and forth, saving and praying I don't get pwned by a Mega Tonberry or whatnot. I need to know what GGs and DSes to equip (plus accessories) so I can level up faster (they're all at 58-60 now) and be confident enough to take some more fiends on. It's been a while since I've played though, but being so close to the ending, I really want to beat the game at 100%! I hate how all the guides make it seem so easy to beat Via Infinitio, though! :P

I found some way to beat those Elder Drakes on a walk-through. I think I use two berserker's with certain accessories and one dark knight or something like that... google the walk-throughs and you'll find it. Now they're easy as pie.

The ones I have found encourage you to have a Mastered Berserker dressphere (with Howl to increase HP, and Evade and Counter to duck the attacks), and a Dark Knight using Black Sky, rather than Darkness. For the other person, I'd probably use a Mascot (maybe Yuna), for super-healing. :D Thank you for the tip!

Dang, we have a lot in common. A like for azureshipping, t.A.T.u., Sarah McLachlan, and now FFX/Z-2/Yuna. =D

I love all of your user pics, and I added you to my friends list if that's okay...

[azurite]

^^ Sure, no problem. I can't promise everything I write will be all fluffy and game/fic-related though.

[ambiance-dream.livejournal.com]

lol You write FF fics too? That's awesome! I have to check your stories, then. =D

[azurite]

I'm very big into Final Fantasy X-2 (you can probably tell, I love strong female characters. I like what FFX-2 did for Yuna), and I have a great idea in mind for a fic, but I've sworn to myself not to start on anything new (unless they're oneshots or short challengefics) until I'm DONE with WDKY.

[ambiance-dream.livejournal.com]

Really now. You're very consistent with updating your story and keeping on track. I'm thinking about cosplaying as many Yuna dresspheres as I can... My first cosplay was Summoner Yuna. =D

YAY for Azurite!! ^^

[azurite]

*laughs* The irony! I was just thinking about getting a Yuna costume, but I wasn't sure which. Summoner, Songstress, and Gunner have all been done to death. I like Psychiccer, but it might be hard to make or have commissioned. If worse comes to worse, I can go as a character from another (old, obscure) game I like... assuming I have the money to fund a cosplay commission, because I can't sew to save my life.

[ambiance-dream.livejournal.com]

Iono why, but I can see you as a really really awesome Songstress Yuna. =D See if you could drag along a Lenne. lol

The ironic part is that I can actually sing real Emotion and 1000 words. :P In both languages, and either version (Koda Kumi's English or Jade from sweetbox's) Would I do it? Prolly not. It took enough guts for me to sing "Melodies of Life" 2 years ago in the karaoke room.
