I'll play if anyone's out in the park. ^_^ Those 30 days in Seattle
wore me out, but even so I went on line sometimes.

It's that time of the weather-year - cranky w/ headaches, sinus
pressures, etc. Let's just all hang at my place covered in quilts,
drinking hot choco, and watch anime.

^__^ so's I can rant, in a fashion . . .
Actually, I cannot play a game *without* a guide. Even so I have
problems. the ONLY game I can play is FF VII - I have FF VIII, IX, X,
and XII, plus Kingdom Hearts, one random Castlevania, and one other
game . . . I was very fortunate to get the unofficial FFVII guide
which is one thousand times better than the official Brady Guide. The
Brady Guide NEVER mentions the Enemy Skills you can collect. Now, as
to the basics of VII and why I can play it -- No. 1 - I put "fire" in
a weapon slot - lo! & behold! - it adds that element. No. 2 - I drop
in a "guardian force" - like, "Hades" in a slot - any slot - I can use
Hades. If on my weapon, some cool things can happen, but it's not
necessary. I don't have to befriend Hades; any character can use him;
I don't have to level up all his many, many skills. There he is, he
does normal step leveling and that's it. No. 3 - No FREAKIN' Card
Game! - in fact - no Mandatory side game/quest. I can, in fact, play
it without getting Yuffie, Vincent, or raising Chocobos and I can
still win the game! No. 4 - Plenty of heals, potions, saves early in
the game vs what I've seen in other games. No. 5 - I either have to
buy, steal or find my weapons and armor -- not collecting nuts and
bolts and layers of fire, etc. No. 6 - I level up as I go along - no
filling in of blanks to get my skills, no bloody graph or map - like
in FFX & XII. No. 7 - I never get punished for talking w/ people!
I'm not sure if I could play FFVII without a guide, even still...

Akio: I'm not a Sagittarius.

amiable Gemini . . . Yes, very amiable indeedl
