railenthe | Day 22 AND Day 23: Feature that excited you most about Dissidia; Most Disappointing Dissidia Feature

Day 22.

THIS REQUIRES ABSOLUTELY ZERO CONSIDERATION.

Quest Sharing.

When that news broke, I was delighted! I could make a quest to accompany crackfic! And I could share them!

Then we get the announcement that the MogWeb will not be provided in the US release.

BUT THAT’S OK BECAUSE STANDARD FILE-SHARING GETS AROUND THIS.

Now if only I could get around to finishing Red Riding Hood and post it (with a script in case someone wants to convert to a non-US region, since the bigwigs at S-E decided to make three separate regions that aren’t cross-compatible WTF S-E?), you could all see just what goes on in my mind.

…that is, besides the surprisingly dark turn it’s taken now that I’ve been writing a more serious!Mateus. The bastard is fun.

AND, AND

Because this was so short, I’ll use this opportunity to make up for the fact that I actually missed a day.

Yeah, I wasn’t conscious on the sixth. I had a bad migraine. It took a few days to let up and its subsequent hangover lasted another three days.

AND SO, HERE IT IS.

Day 23.

Most Disappointing Dissidia Feature (or lack thereof)?

I’m gonna be honest with you guys—when I realized I was behind—a week and a half ago—I started thinking about this question.

And thinking.

AND THINKING.

Considering how good I am at playing the Devil’s Advocate, I can’t really think of one.

I’d like a slightly more involved/bigger quest-creation system (only ten elements of each? I feel a little stretched. …oh well, I can alway make it a multi-quest chain a la any given MMO!) but as my parenthetical here says, I’ve thought of a way around that.

Wifi-muiltiplayer would have been nice, but considering how hot the system runs when you’re fighting in ‘Mecia’s castle against an opponent, something tells me the system would explode in your hands if it tried to render that fight without the PS3 as go-between.

…actually, I take that back. It’s really minor, but.

HAY SQUEENIX, WHAT HAPPENED TO USING ALTS IN STORY MODE? YEAH.

…Feeble, yeah, but it’s all I can think of. XD

Oh yeah, Emperor of Heaven... *drools*

Playing 000 and making up crack stories for everyone, I am starting to make Kuja and Vaan closet hat buddies. Becuase as a platonic pairing it's incredibly stupid. WHICH IS WHY IT WORKS!

…Because it's true XD

Such magnificent crack. <3

By the end of it drunk!Kuja is totally complimenting Vaan on his stylin' hat. And wearing the tricorne along with his insane drunk!Kuja outfit. Except he tilts it at an angle so it looks ~~even more ridiculous~~ badass.

Not to mention testing his incredibad pickup lines on anything that moves >=D

Drunk!Kuja: Hey you---y-yeah, you! How old are you?
Manikin: ...
Drunk!Kuja: Yeah, that's what I thought.
Zidane: Kuja---maybe you've had enough---
Drunk!Kuja: Don tell me when I've had enough! I decide for MYSELF, bitch! *punches him into submission*
Vaan: Respect bro!

Is it bad I can see them fist-bumping after that?

They totally would. And Onion Knight just stares, trying to wonder what the hell he's got himself into.

BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
and now a page from that Onion Kid's diary!

Onion's Log, day 27.

That bottle of Jack Daniel's still shows no signs of depleting. It is immune to enchantments of all sorts, and when I attempt to break it, it bounces.
GLASS SHOULD NOT BOUNCE.

Adulterating it with potions does no good either. All it does is prevent them from getting hung over the next day.

And so they drink more.

The next time I see Cosmos, I'm asking her why she assigned me to this group.

I am imagining that by this point all 4 of his allies are drunk off their tits and can-canning their way to victory. And the guys who are standing there as assists are either in awe of this insanity or ANSWER TO THE MAGICAL COMMAND OF JACK DANIELS!!!

Cosmos believed that Kuja needed a chance to prove himself and knew that having a chance to finally reconcile with his brother would be good for him. And as Vaan, Onion Knight and Prishe had all proven to be stars when it came to helping rehabilitate a lost soul, they were selected to ensure he didn't stray away from the light. She was also the one responsible for the Jack D, she knew of the powers drunk!Kuja held but she did not expect him to open it quite so quickly...

~~except it's called cotton candy here. And hard to get in this area because it does NOT hold up well in humid areas~~

Onion's log, day 37.

Quite on accident I got a taste of that 'Jack Daniel's' business. It is godawful! It tastes like a barrel, it burns and it makes me thirstier than when I started.

Then Prishe confiscated it and said she'd tell Kuja.

I seriously doubt she'll remember this. She was walking on her hands at the time.

I sometimes get the locolisations confused after growing up with so many american tv shows and anime dubs. Also there is a book by my favourite childrens author of the same name so when I was eating the stuff I kept on thinking about it. Yah...

I'm now tempted to write Kuja's diary... But first, Zidane's!

Day 2.

So I finally got Kuja talking to the rest of us...if you can call it that. He's still pretty pissed off about that manikin smackin' him in the face. (Well that's what you get for bragging about your magic when you should be watching your opponent, dumbass)

He keeps on scribbling away in his diary with that makeshift quill of his (so THAT'S what those feathers are for) and everytime someone goes near him he whips it away before they can see what he's writing. But I snuck a peek and it's all in Terran. Still don't trust anyone, do you, Kuja?

Oh yeah and he won't leave that bottle of Jack Daniels that Cosmos gave him alone. He keeps on cradling it like it's his baby and almost starts crooning lullabies to it. I really wish there was some way I could capture this becuase the image alone is GOLD!

Speaking of which...he seems DIFFERENT when he's drunk. I dunno, I get the feeling that he's finally ditching that pompous ass act of his but...okay, this is gonna sound weird.

HE STARTED WEARING PANTS.

I'll repeat: Kuja started wearing pants.

I don't know him anymore...

~~ALSO CHIBI ONION APPROVES OF THIS~~

Onion's log, day 5.

I'm not sure what to think of Prishe. Obviously she's older than she looks. She has the dirtiest mouth I've ever heard. She's always hungry.

She drinks like a fish.

She's kinda cute…

I better always carry this with me. If she finds this…

TWO WORDS: LOVE TRIANGLE

Day 7.

I'm pretty sure Prishe is into me. Why wouldn't she be? I'm such a stud. (Too bad I've got Garnet...although...we are seperated I guess...)

Sparkling aqua eyes, smooth tan skin and a bikini as one of her outfits? What's not to like!?

Though Onion Knight keeps giving her these weird stares. Does he have a crush on her or something? Poor kid, it's too early for him to get his dreams crushed. Ah, women!

So what if there's a slight age gap between us? I'm a mature, responsible adult. Plus I've got that irresistable charm that just makes the ladies swooooon. Once I put the moves on her she'll be all over me!

Onion's Log, day 9.

I think Zidane's up to something.

Maybe he just decided to focus on something else since Kuja started wearing pants. And walking instead of floating. (I'm still not used to that. Though he seems to be enjoying it. More power to him, I suppose. But it's so weird.)

He's been flirting with Prishe. I hope she knows he's trouble. Zidane flirts with everybody! He flirted with Cosmos! Isn't that sacrilege???
